dc Loop Current Limit
Current limit may be chosen from two discrete values,
25 mA or 40 mA, depending on if V
PROG
is grounded
(25 mA) or left floating (40 mA). Note that there is a
12.5 k
slope to the I/V characteristic in the current-
limit region; thus, once in current limit, the actual loop
current will increase slightly, as loop length decreases.
The above describes the active mode steady-state cur-
rent-limit response. There will be a transient response
of the current-limit circuit upon an on- to off-hook transi-
tion. Typical active mode transient current-limit
response is given in Table 19.

Ring Current-Limit Transient Response
Overhead Voltage
Active Mode
Overhead is fixed to a nominal 6.0 V, which is adequate
for on-hook transmission of 3.14 dBm into 900
.
Scan Mode
If the magnitude of the primary battery is greater than
51 V, the magnitude of the open loop tip-to-ring open
loop voltage is clamped typically between 44 V and
51 V. If the magnitude of the primary battery is less
than a nominal 51 V, the overhead voltage will track the
magnitude of the battery voltage, i.e., the magnitude of
the open circuit tip-to-ring voltage will be 4 V to 6 V less
than battery. In the scan mode, overhead is unaffected
by V

.
On Hook Transmission Mode
If the magnitude of the primary battery is greater than
51 V, the magnitude of the open loop tip-to-ring open
loop voltage is clamped typically between 41 V and
49 V. If the magnitude of the primary battery is less
than a nominal 51 V, the overhead voltage will track the
magnitude of the battery voltage, i.e., the magnitude of
the open circuit tip-to-ring voltage will be 6 V to 8 V less
than battery. In the scan mode, overhead is unaffected
by V
