Features
The HC5515 is a subscriber line interface circuit which is
interchangeable with Ericsson’s PBL3860 for distributed
central office applications. Enhancements include immunity
to circuit latch-up during hot plug and absence of false
signaling in the presence of longitudinal currents.
• Programmable Current Feed (20mA to 60mA)
The HC5515 is fabricated in a High Voltage Dielectrically
Isolated (DI) Bipolar Process that eliminates leakage
currents and device latch-up problems normally associated
with junction isolated ICs. The elimination of the leakage
currents results in improved circuit performance for wide
temperature extremes. The latch free benefit of the DI
process guarantees operation under adverse transient
conditions. This process feature makes the HC5515 ideally
suited for use in harsh outdoor environments.
• Compatible with Ericsson’s PBL3860

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free plus anneal products employ special Pb-free
material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100%
matte tin plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and
compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil
Pb-free products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow
temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of
IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.

Circuit Operation and Design Information
The HC5515 is a current feed voltage sense Subscriber Line
Interface Circuit (SLIC). This means that for short loop
applications the SLIC provides a programed constant current to
the tip and ring terminals while sensing the tip to ring voltage.
The following discussion separates the SLIC’s operation into
its DC and AC paths, then follows up with additional circuit
and design information.
Constant Loop Current (DC) Path
SLIC in the Active Mode
The DC path establishes a constant loop current that flows
out of tip and into the ring terminal. The loop current is
programmed by resistors RDC1, RDC2 and the voltage on
the RDC pin (Figure 12). The RDC voltage is determined by
the voltage across R1 in the saturation guard circuit. Under
constant current feed conditions, the voltage drop across R1
sets the RDC voltage to -2.5V. This occurs when current
flows through R1 into the current source I2. The RDC voltage
establishes a current (IRSN) that is equal to VRDC/(RDC1
+RDC2). This current is then multiplied by 1000, in the loop
current circuit, to become the tip and ring loop currents.
For the purpose of the following discussion, the saturation
guard voltage is defined as the maximum tip to ring voltage
at which the SLIC can provide a constant current for a given
battery and overhead voltage.

For loop resistances that result in a tip to ring voltage less than
the saturation guard voltage the loop current is defined as:
2.5V
I L = -------------------------------------- × 1000
R DC1 + R DC2
(EQ. 1)
where: IL = Constant loop current, and
RDC1 and RDC2 = Loop current programming resistors.
Capacitor CDC between RDC1 and RDC2 removes the VF
signals from the battery feed control loop. The value of CDC
is determined by Equation 2:

C DC = T × ⎛ --------------- + ---------------⎞
⎝R
⎠

DC2
(EQ. 2)
where T = 30ms.
NOTE: The minimum CDC value is obtained if RDC1 = RDC2 .
Figure 13 illustrates the relationship between the tip to ring
voltage and the loop resistance. For a 0Ω loop resistance
both tip and ring are at VBAT/2. As the loop resistance
increases, so does the voltage differential between tip and
ring. When this differential voltage becomes equal to the
saturation guard voltage, the operation of the SLIC’s loop
feed changes from a constant current feed to a resistive
feed. The loop current in the resistive feed region is no
longer constant but varies as a function of the loop
resistance.

Figure 14 shows the relationship between the saturation
guard voltage, the loop current and the loop resistance.
Notice from Figure 14 that for a loop resistance 1.2kΩ the SLIC is operating in
the resistive feed region. Operation in the resistive feed
region allows long loop and off-hook transmission by
keeping the tip and ring voltages off the rails. Operation in
this region is transparent to the customer.

The Saturation Guard circuit (Figure 12) monitors the tip to
ring voltage via the transconductance amplifier A1. A1
generates a current that is proportional to the tip to ring
voltage difference. I1 is internally set to sink all of A1’s
current until the tip to ring voltage exceeds 12.5V. When the
tip to ring voltage exceeds 12.5V (with no RSG resistor) A1
supplies more current than I1 can sink. When this happens
A2 amplifies its input current by a factor of 12 and the current
through R1 becomes the difference between I2 and the
output current from A2. As the current from A2 increases, the
voltage across R1 decreases and the output voltage on RDC
decreases. This results in a corresponding decrease in the
loop current. The RSG pin provides the ability to increase the
saturation guard reference voltage beyond 12.5V. Equation
3 gives the relationship between the RSG resistor value and
the programmable saturation guard reference voltage:
RL = Loop resistance.
