The magnitude of the power control resistor must be
low enough to ensure that sufficient power is dissipated
on the resistor to ensure the L9311 does not exceed its
thermal shutdown temperature. At the same time, the
more power that is dissipated by the power control
resistor, the higher the resistor’s power rating must be,
and thus, the more costly the resistor. The following
equations are used to optimize the choice (magnitude
and power rating) of the power control resistor.

This time, assume a maximum ambient operating tem-
perature of 85

C, a maximum current limit of 45 mA
(including tolerance), and a maximum battery of
–
56 V.
Again, assume a (worst-case) minimum dc loop of 0
and that 50
protection resistors are used. Assume
the handset is 200

= (56 V x 45 mA) + 0.100 W
Total P

= 2.34 W + 0.100 W
Total P
D
= 2.4375 W
Again, the power dissipated in the SLIC is the total
power dissipation less the power that is dissipated in
the loop.

is the ring-side overhead voltage of the SLIC.
Since this device is dc unbalanced, the tip side over-
head will remain typically at
–
2 V and the ring side over-
head will vary with the voltage at V
OH
. For the total tip/
ring default overhead of 5.5 V, the ring overhead is typi-
cally 3.5 V.
Overhead Voltage
Overhead is programmable in the active mode via an
applied voltage source at the device’s OVH control
input. The voltage source may be an external voltage
source or derived via a resistor divider network from
the V
REF
SLIC output or an external voltage source. A
programmable external voltage source may be used to
provide software control of the overhead voltage.
The overhead voltage (
V
OH
) is related to the OVH volt-
age by:
V
OH
= 5.5 V + 5 x V
OVH
(V)
Overall accuracy is determined by the accuracy of the
voltage source and the accuracy of any external resis-
tor divider network used and voltage offsets due to the
specified input bias current. If a resistor divider from
V
REF
is used, lower magnitude resistor will give a more
accurate result due to a lower offset associated with
the input bias current; however, lower value resistors
will also draw more power from V
REF
. The sum of pro-
gramming resistors should be between 75 k
and
200 k
.
Note that a default overhead voltage of 5.5 V is
achieved by shorting input pin OVH to analog ground.
Internally, the SLIC needs typically 2 V from each sup-
ply rail to bias the amplifier circuitry. This can be
thought of as an internal saturation voltage.
The default overhead provides sufficient headroom for
on-hook transmission of a 3.14 dBm signal into 900
.

0.9
3.14 = 10 log
V = 1.36 V, which is required over and above the inter-
nal saturation voltage for signal swing.
1.36 V + 4 V = 5.36 V < 5.5 V default overhead; thus, a
3.14 dBm into 900
signal is passed without clipping
distortion.
The overhead voltage accuracy achieved will not only
be affected by the accuracy of the internal SLIC cir-
cuitry, but also by the accuracy of the voltage source
and the accuracy of any external resistor divider net-
work used.
