Description
The L9214 is designed to provide battery feed, ringing,
and supervision functions on short and medium plain
old telephone service (POTS) loops. Supported round-
trip loop length is up to 1000
of wiring resistance plus
handset or ringing load. This device is designed to min-
imize power in all operating states.
The L9214 offers eight operating states. The device
assumes use of a lower-voltage talk battery, a higher-
voltage ringing battery and a single V
CC
supply.
The L9214 requires only a positive V
CC
supply. No
–
5 V supply is needed. The L9214 can operate with a
V
CC
of either 5.0 V or 3.3 V, allowing for greater user
flexibility. The choice of V
CC
voltage is transparent to
the user; the device will function with either supply volt-
age connected.
Two batteries may be used:
1. A high-voltage ring battery (V
BAT1
). V
BAT1
is a maxi-
mum
–
70 V and is used for power ringing, scan, and
on-hook transmission modes. This supply is current
limited to the maximum power ringing current of
approximately 90 mApeak.
2. A lower-voltage talk battery (V
BAT2
). V
BAT2
is nor-
mally used for active mode powering.
Alternatively, operation may be from a single high-volt-
age battery supply with a power control resistor to
reduce the power dissipation in the SLIC.
