Operation
A PWM signal was generated with an HP8116 Func-
tion Generator modulated with a 20 Hz signal. The opti-
mal frequency used was 10 kHz. The PWM signal
amplitude was 3.10 V (0 V to 3.10 V). This input signal
is shown in Figure 17.

Figure 17. 3.3 V PWM Signal Amplitude
This produced 44.96 Vrms ringing signal on tip/ring
under open-loop conditions and 42.0 Vrms was deliv-
ered to 5 REN load. The ringing output on ring with V
CC
= 3.1 V is shown in Figure 18.

Notes:
The modulating 20 Hz signal THD was measured at 1.3%.
The tip/ring 20 Hz signal THD was measured at 1%.

During nonring modes, the PWM waveform may be left
on at RING
IN
. Via the state table, the ring signal will be
removed from tip and ring even if the low-voltage input
is still present at RING
IN
. There are certain timing con-
siderations that should be made with respect to state
changes which are detailed in the Switching Behavior
of L9215/6 Ringing SLICApplication Note.
Square Wave Input Signal and Trapezoidal Power
Ring Signal Output
A low-voltage square wave signal may be used to pro-
vide the ringing input to RING
IN
. The signal is applied
through a low-pass filter and ac-coupled into RING
IN
as
shown in Figure 13 and Table 23. This approach gives
a trapezoidal wave output at tip and ring.
Using this approach, a trapezoidal waveform can be
achieved at tip and ring. This has the advantage of
increasing the power transfer to the load for a given
battery voltage, thus increasing the effective ringing
loop length as compared to a sine wave. The actual
crest factor achieved is a function of the magnitude of
the battery, the magnitude of the input voltage, fre-
quency, and R

.
