commanded operating state.
In the Stand-by State the line drive
amplifiers are disconnected. The loop
feed is converted to resistive form
according to:
the DET output, which is a collector
output with internal pull-up resistor
(approx. 15 kΩ). A DET output at logic
level low indicates triggered detector
condition (loop current above threshold
current, ground key depressed or
telephone off-hook during the ringing
cycle). A DET output at logic level high
indicates a non triggered detector
condition.
Open Circuit State (C1, C2 = 0, 0)
In the Open Circuit State the TIPX and
RINGX line drive amplifiers as well as
other circuit blocks are powered down.
This causes the SLIC to present a high
impedance to the line. Power dissipation
is at a minimum. No detectors are active.

E0, when set to logic level high,
disables the DET output; i.e. it appears as
a resistor connected to VCC.
E1, when set to logic level low, gates
the ground key detector to the DET
output.
E1, when set to logic level high, gates
the loop detector to the DET output.

TIPX is the terminal closest to ground and

more negative terminal and sinks loop

Overvoltage Protection
The PBL 3764/A4 SLIC must be protected
against overvoltages on the telephone
line caused by lightning, ac power contact
and induction. Refer to Maximum Ratings,
TIPX and RINGX terminals, for maximum
allowable continuous and transient
voltages that may be applied to the SLIC.

series resistors together with a

The TISP PBL2 is a dual forward-
conducting buffered p-gate overvoltage
protector. The protector gate references
the protection (clamping) voltage to
negative supply voltage (i e the battery
voltage,VBat ). As the protection voltage
will track the negative supply voltage the
overvoltage stress on the SLIC is
minimized.
Positive overvoltages are clamped to
ground by an internal diode. Negative
overvoltages are initially clamped close to
the SLIC negative supply rail voltage. If
sufficient current is available from the
overvoltage, then the protector will
crowbar into a low voltage on-state
condition, clamping the overvoltage close
to ground.
