3. Using LITELINK
As a full-featured telephone line interface, LITELINK
performs the following functions:
hook state, loop current flows through LITELINK and
the system is answering or placing a call.
• DC termination
• AC impedance control
• V/I slope control
• 2-wire to 4-wire conversion (hybrid)
• Current limiting
• Ring detection
• Caller ID signal reception
• Switch hook
3.2 On-hook Operation
The LITELINK application circuit leakage current is
less than 10 µA with 100 V across ring and tip, equiva-
lent to greater than 10 MΩ on-hook resistance.
3.2.1 Ring Signal Detection via the Snoop
Circuit
In the on-hook state (OH and CID not asserted), an
internal multiplexer turns on the snoop circuit. This cir-
cuit monitors the telephone line for two conditions; an
incoming ring signal, and caller ID data bursts.
LITELINK can accommodate specific application fea-
tures without sacrificing basic functionality and perfor-
mance. Application features include, but are not
limited to:
• High gain (+3 dBm) operation
• Pulse dialing
• Ground start
Refer to the application schematic diagram (see Figure
3 on page 6). C7 (C
) and C8 (C
) provide a
SNP-
SNP+
high-voltage isolation barrier between the telephone
line and SNP- and SNP+ on the LITELINK while cou-
pling AC signals to the snoop amplifier. The snoop cir-
cuit “snoops” the telephone line continuously while
drawing no current. In the LITELINK, ringing signals
are compared to a threshold. The comparator output
forms the RING signal output from LITELINK. This sig-
nal must be qualified by the host system as a valid
ringing signal. A low level on RING indicates that the
LITELINK ring signal threshold has been exceeded.
• Loop start
• Parallel telephone off-hook detection (911 feature)
• Battery reversal
• Line presence
• World-wide programmable operation
This section of the data sheet describes LITELINK
operation in standard configuration for usual opera-
tion. Clare offers additional application information on-
line (see Section 5 on page 14). These include informa-
tion on the following topics:
For the CPC5610 (with the half-wave ring detector),
the frequency of the RING output follows the fre-
quency of the ringing signal from the central office
(CO), typically 20 Hz. The RING output of the
CPC5611 (with the full-wave ring detector) is twice the
ringing signal frequency.
• Circuit isolation considerations
• Optimizing LITELINK performance
• Data Access Arrangement architecture
• LITELINK circuit descriptions
• Surge protection
• EMI considerations
Hysteresis is employed in the LITELINK ring detector
circuit to provide noise immunity. The setup of the ring
detector comparator causes RING output pulses to
remain low for most of the ringing signal half-cycle.
The RING output returns high for the entire negative
half-cycle of the ringing signal for the CPC5610. For
the CPC5611, the RING output returns high for a short
period near the zero-crossing of the ringing signal
before returning low during the positive half-cycle. For
both the CPC5610 and CPC5611, the RING output
remains high between ringing signal bursts.
Other specific application materials are also refer-
enced in this section as appropriate.
3.1 Switch Hook Control (On-hook
and Off-hook States)
LITELINK operates in one of two conditions, on-hook
and off-hook. In the on-hook condition the telephone
line is available for calls. In the off-hook condition the
telephone line is engaged. Use the OH control input to
place LITELINK in one of these two states. With OH
high, LITELINK is on-hook and ready to make or
receive a call. The snoop circuit is enabled. Assert OH
low to place LITELINK in the off-hook state. In the off-
The ring detection threshold depends on the values of
