Resistive Region is programmable by means of
external resistor R
DC
, limiting current can be se-
lected by R

resistor.
ConcerningAC characteristicthe STLC3080 allows
to set2W termination impedance by means of one
external scaled impedance that may be complex.
Two to fourwireconversionisprovidedby an exter-
nal network. Such network can be avoidedin case
of applicationwith COMBOII,in this casethe twoto
four wire conversion is implemented inside the
COMBOIIby means of the programmableHybal fil-
ter.
When in ACTIVE mode it is also possible to per-
form battery reversal in soft mode (with program-
mable transition time) without affecting the AC sig-
naltransmission.
Ringing
When Ringing mode is selected the STLC3080
activates the ring relay injecting the ringing signal
on the line. As the ringtrip is detected the logicin-
dicator DET is set low and the ringing is automat-
ically disconnected without waiting for the card
controllercommand (auto ring trip).
DET remains latched Low untill the operative
mode is modified.
If required , the ringing relay drive signal RELR
can be synchronised to a clock applied to
CKRING input.
This clock is derived from the ringing signal with
proper time delay, according to the activation/de-
activationtime of the relay.
RELR is activated on the low level of CKRING
clock. The duty cycle of CKRING can be modified
in order to activate the RELR when required:
CKRING low must last 1
μ
s minimum.
If the synchronisation is not required, CKRING in-
put must be steadilykept Low.
All the STLC3080 relay drivers are open drain
with the source connectedto the RGND pin. Each
relay drivers integrates a protection structure that
allows to avoid external kick - back diodes, using
both 5Vor 12V relays.
The ring trip circuit and its behaviour is described
in AppendixD.
Ground Start.
This mode is selected when the SLIC is adopted
in a system using the Ground Start feature. In this
mode the TIP termination is set in High Imped-
ance (100k
) while the RING one is active and
fixed at Vbat +4.8V. In the case of connection of
RING termination to GND the sinked current is
limited to 30mA. When RING is connected to
GND both Off-Hook and Ground-Key detectors
become active. Power dissipation in this mode
with a -48V batteryvoltage is 100mW
High Impedance Feeding.
As Stand-By, this mode is set in On-Hook condi-
tion, with furtherreduced power consumption.
Higher power efficiencyturns back a lower immu-
nity of the Off-Hook detector to line common
mode currents.
The DC feeding shows a constantcurrent charac-
teristic (I
lim
= 17mA) followed by a resistive range
with an equivalent series resistance R
FEED
=
1600
+ 2Rp.
Thermal protection circuit is stillactive, preventing
the junction temperature, in case of fault condi-
tion, to exceed150
°
C
In High Impedance Feeding most of the circuit is
switched off, only the circuit, dedicated to Off-
Hook detection, is powered. This allows to reduce
the total power consumption in On-hookto 30mW
(typical).
The Off-Hook detection threshold is not program-
mable but definedat a fixed IDET
