TCM1520A APPLICATION
description
The TCM1520A is a monolithic ring-detection
integrated circuit designed for use in isolated or
nonisolated telephone applications. The device
uses a modified form of the Texas Instruments
BIDFET† technology to combine low-voltage
CMOS and high-voltage bipolar input/output
circuitry. It features efficient high-voltage (40 V to
150 V) operation with a typical current drain of
1 mA.

exceeds 8 V. When the voltage across pins 1 and
8 exceeds 18 V, the internal switch is closed, which bypasses the 6.8-V zener diode series resistor. This allows
more efficient power transfer to the load when the device is in the operating mode. In the operating mode, the
impedance of the device varies from 30 kΩ to 7 kΩ over the ring signal of 40 V at 16 Hz to 150 V at 68 Hz and
is reasonably independent of the output load.
In typical telephone applications, the TCM1520A is activated through the telephone line by a ring voltage of 40 V
at 16 Hz to 150 V at 68 Hz. The TCM1520A generates a signal suitable to drive an optocoupler or TTL, NMOS,
or CMOS logic. The 5-V OUTPUT can be used as a supply source for optocouplers or low-power logic. This
output is noninverting and is at a high level during ringing.
The TCM1520A incorporates lightning and transient protection that is designed to withstand lightning strikes
of 1.5-kV amplitude and 200-µs duration and also features built-in circuitry to avoid tapping or false triggering
due to transients.
Caution. These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive
foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
