shutdown in the presence of a persistent thermal alarm.
Switching between high and low battery will have no effect
during power denial.
Functionality
During power denial, both the Tip and Ring amplifiers are
disabled, representing high impedances. The voltages at
both outputs are near ground.
Thermal Shutdown
In the event the safe die temperature is exceeded, the ALM
output will go low and DET will go high and the part will
automatically shut down. When the device cools, ALM will
go high and DET will reflect the loop status. If the thermal
fault persists, ALM will go low again and the part will
shutdown. Programming power denial will permanently
shutdown the device and stop the self cooling cycling.
Battery Switching
Overview
The integrated battery switch selects between the high
battery (VBH) and low battery (VBL). The battery switch is
controlled with the logic input BSEL. When BSEL is a logic
high, the high battery is selected and when a logic low, the
low battery is selected. All operating modes of the device will
operate from high or low battery except forward loop back.
Functionality
The logic control is independent of the operating mode
decode. Independent logic control provides the most
flexibility and will support all application configurations.
When changing device operating states, battery switching
should occur simultaneously with or prior to changing the
operating mode. In most cases, this will minimize overall
power dissipation and prevent glitches on the DET output.
The only external component required to support the battery
switch is a diode in series with the VBH supply lead. In the
event that high battery is removed, the diode allows the
device to transition to low battery operation.
Low Battery Operation
All off hook operating conditions and ringing should use the
low battery. The prime benefit will be reduced power
dissipation. The typical low battery for the device is -24V.
However this may be increased to support longer loop
lengths or high loop current requirements. Standby
conditions may also operate from the low battery if MTU
compliance is not required, further reducing standby power
dissipation.
High Battery Operation
The high battery should be used for standby conditions
which must provide MTU compliance. During standby
operation the power consumption is typically 40 mW with -
48V battery. If standby requirements do not require high
battery operation, then a lower battery will result in lower
standby power.
Uncommitted Switch
Overview
The uncommitted switch is a three terminal device designed
for flexibility. The independent logic control input, SWC,
allows switch operation regardless of device operating
mode. The switch is activated by a logic low. The positive
and negative terminals of the device are labeled SW+ and
SW- respectively.
Relay Driver
The uncommitted switch may be used as a relay driver by
connecting SW+ to the relay coil and SW- to ground. The
switch is designed to have a maximum on voltage of 0.6V
with a load current of 45mA.

Since the device provides the ringing waveform, the relay
functions which may be supported include subscriber
disconnect, test access or line interface bypass. An external
snubber diode is not required when using the uncommitted
switch as a relay driver.
Test Load
The switch may be used to connect test loads across Tip
and Ring. The test loads can provide external test
termination for the device. Proper connection of the
uncommitted switch to Tip and Ring is shown below.

FIGURE 10. TEST LOAD SWITCHING
The diode in series with the test load blocks current from
flowing through the uncommitted switch when the polarity of
the Tip and Ring terminals are reversed. In addition to the
reverse active state, the polarity of Tip and Ring are
reversed for half of the ringing cycle. With independent logic
control and the blocking diode, the uncommitted switch may
be continuously connected to the Tip and Ring terminals.
