accomplished by comparing the

Capacitors CTC and CRC
The capacitors designated CTC and CRC in
figure 12, connected between TIPX and
ground as well as between RINGX and
ground, are recommended as an addition
to the overvoltage protection network. Very
fast transients, appearing on tip and ring,
may pass by the diode and SCR clamps in
the overvoltage protection network, before
these devices have had time to activate
and could damage the SLIC. CTC and CRC
short such very fast transients to ground.
The recommended value for CTC and CRC is
2200 pF. Higher capacitance values may
be used, but care must be taken to prevent
degradation of either longitudinal balance
or return loss. CTC and CRC contribute a
metallic impedance of 1/(π · f · CTC) ≈
1/( π · f · CRC), a TIPX to ground

The block diagram in figure 13 shows the

For a tip to ring dc voltage VTR less than
the saturation guard reference voltage
VSGRef, the SLIC emulates a constant-
current feed characteristic. The constant
current is independent of the actual
battery voltage, VBat, connected to the
SLIC.

where VT and VR are tip and ring ground
referenced voltages without any
longitudinal component. As shown below,
the SLIC appears as 20 Ω per wire to
longitudinal disturbances. It should be
noted that longitudinal currents may
exceed the dc loop current without
disturbing the vf transmission. Refer to
figure 11.
With the tip to ring DC voltage VTR
exceeding VSGRef, the feed characteristic
changes to a nearly-constant voltage
feed. This is to prevent the tip and ring
drive amplifiers from distorting the AC
signal as might have otherwise occurred
due to insufficient voltage margin between
VTR and VBat (pin 6). Thus the SLIC
automatically adjusts the tip to ring dc
voltage VTR to the maximum safe value.
With the SLIC in the stand-by state (C1,
C2 = 1,1) a resistive feed characteristic is
enabled.
