Description
The Agere Systems Inc. L8576B electronic dual sub-
scriber line interface circuit (SLIC) provides all the
functions that are necessary to interface a codec to
the tip and ring of a subscriber loop, integrating two
battery feeds and ringing generators in one low-cost
package. The L8576B device is optimized to meet
the needs of short loop, customer premises applica-
tions and features balanced ringing from the single
battery supply. The device is built using a 90 V com-
plementary bipolar (CBIC) process. It is available in a
44-pin PLCC package.
