ZERDELAY, the relay control signal is enabled when the
RINGEN bit transition has already occurred. During
typical ringing bursts, the LFS bits of the linefeed
register toggle between the RINGING and OHT states
based on the pre-programmed ringing cadence. The
transition from OHT to RINGING is synchronized with
the RRD state transitions, so the ringing burst starts
immediately. The transition from RINGING to OHT is

Opening the Relay at Zero Current
Opening the ringing relay at zero current also is gated by a user-programmed delay period, LFSDELAY,

RAM address, and two internal counters (COUNTER0
and COUNTER1) detect time elapsed since the last two
zero current crossings based on the ringing period and
predict when the next zero crossing occurs. The ringing
relay current and internal counters are both updated at
an 8 kHz rate. To account for the mechanical delay of
the relay, a programmable advance firing timer allows
the user to initiate relay opening up to 10 ms prior to the
zero current crossing event. Figure 30 illustrates the
Polarity Reversal
The Dual ProSLIC devices support polarity reversal for
message-waiting functionality and various signaling
modes. The ramp rate can be programmed for a smooth
transition or an abrupt transition to accommodate
different application requirements. A wink function is
provided for special equipment that responds to a
smooth ramp to V = 0 V. Table 32 illustrates the
OC
register bits required to program the polarity reversal
modes.
