Switching Behavior
(continued)
When using an L7582 in the make-before-break mode,
during the ring-to-idle transition, for a period of up to
one-half the ringing frequency, the ring break switch
and the pnpn-type ring access switch can both be in
the ON state. This is the maximum time after the logic
signal at IN
RING
has transitioned that the ring access
switch is waiting for the next zero current cross, so it
can close. During this interval, current that is limited to
the dc break switch current-limit value will be sourced
from the ring node of the SLIC.
This current is presented to the internal protection cir-
cuit.
The SCR-type protector is used (A code)
By random probability the ring-to-idle transition
occurs during a portion of the ring cycle when the
ringing voltage exceeds the protection circuit SCR
turn-on voltage.
Current in excess of the SCR’s turn-on current is also
available.

Once the SCR is triggered on, if the SLIC is capable of
supplying current in excess of the holding current, the
SCR may be latched on by the SLIC.
The probability of this event depends on the character-
istics of the given SLIC and of the holding current of the
L7582A device. The SCR hold current distribution is
designed to be safely away from the test limit of
80 mA. The higher the distribution, the lower the proba-
bility of the latch.
If this situation is of concern for a given board design,
either use the A series device in the break-before-make
mode (eliminates the original 25 ms current pulse) or
use a B series device (eliminates the SCR).
