PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Intelligent Accessä voice chip sets integrate all the functions of the subscriber line. Two chip types are used to implement
the linecard — an Am79231 device and an ISLAC device. These provide the following basic functions:
1. The Am79231: A high voltage, bipolar device that drives the subscriber line, maintains longitudinal balance
and senses line conditions.
2. The ISLAC device: A low voltage CMOS IC that provides conversion, control and DSP functions for the
Am79231.
A complete schematic of the linecard using the Intelligent Access voice chip sets for external ringing is shown in the “Application
Circuit” on page 19.
The Am79231 uses reliable, bipolar technology to provide the power necessary to drive a wide variety of subscriber lines. It can
be programmed by the ISLAC device to operate in eight different modes that control power consumption and signaling. This
enables it to have full control over the subscriber loop. The Am79231 is designed to be used exclusively with the ISLAC devices.
The Am79231 requires only +5 V power and the battery supplies for its operation.
The Am79231 implements a linear loop-current feeding method with the enhancement of intelligent thermal management. This
limits the amount of power dissipated on the Am79231 chip by dissipating power in external resistors in a controlled manner.
Each ISLAC device contains high-performance circuits that provide A/D and D/A conversion for the voice (codec), DC-feed and
supervision signals. The ISLAC device contains a DSP core that handles signaling, DC-feed, supervision and line diagnostics for
all channels.
The DSP core selectively interfaces with three types of backplanes:
• Standard PCM/MPI
• Standard GCI
• Modified GCI with a single analog line per GCI channel
The Intelligent Access voice chip set provides a complete software configurable solution to the BORSCHT functions as well as
complete programmable control over subscriber line DC-feed characteristics, such as current limit and feed resistance. In
addition, these chip sets provide system level solutions for the loop supervisory functions and metering. In total, they provide a
programmable solution that can satisfy worldwide linecard requirements by software configuration.
Software programmed filter coefficients, DC-feed data and supervision data are easily calculated with the WinSLACä software.
This PC software is provided free of charge. It allows the designer to enter a description of system requirements. WinSLAC then
computes the necessary coefficients and plots the predicted system results.
The Am79231 interface unit inside the ISLAC device processes information regarding the line voltages, loop currents and battery
voltage levels. These inputs allow the ISLAC device to place several key Am79231 performance parameters under software
control.
The main functions that can be observed and/or controlled through the ISLAC backplane interface are:
• DC-feed characteristics
• Ground-key detection
• Off-hook detection
• Metering signal
• Longitudinal operating point
• Subscriber line voltage and currents
• Ring-trip detection
• Abrupt and smooth battery reversal
• Subscriber line matching
• Ringing
• Sophisticated line and circuit tests
To accomplish these functions, the ISLIC device collects the following information and feeds it, in analog form, to the ISLAC
device:
• The metallic (IMT) and longitudinal (ILG) loop currents
• The AC (VTX) and DC (VSAB) loop voltage
The outputs supplied by the ISLAC device to the ISLIC device are then:
• A voltage (VHLi) that provides control for the following high-level ISLIC device outputs:
– DC loop current
– 12 or 16 kHz metering signal

 I N T E L L I G E N T A C C E S S V O I C E ™ S O L U T I O N S

• A low-level voltage proportional to the voice signal (VOUTi)

• A voltage that controls longitudinal offset for test purposes (VLBi)
The ISLAC device performs the codec and filter functions associated with the four-wire section of the subscriber line circuitry in
a digital switch. These functions involve converting an analog voice signal into digital PCM samples and converting digital PCM
samples back into an analog signal. During conversion, digital filters are used to band-limit the voice signals.
The user-programmable filters set the receive and transmit gain, perform the transhybrid balancing function, permit adjustment
of the two-wire termination impedance and provide frequency attenuation adjustment (equalization) of the receive and transmit
paths. Adaptive transhybrid balancing is also included. All programmable digital filter coefficients can be calculated using
WinSLAC software. The PCM codes can be either 16-bit linear two's-complement or 8-bit companded A-law or µ-law.
Besides the codec functions, the Intelligent Access voice chip set provides all the sensing, feedback, and clocking necessary to
completely control ISLIC device functions with programmable parameters. System-level parameters under programmable control
include active loop current limits, feed resistance, and feed mode voltages.
The ISLAC device supplies complete mode control to the ISLIC device using the control bus (P1-P3) and tri-level load signal
(LDi).
The Intelligent Access voice chip set provides extensive loop supervision capability including off-hook, ring-trip and ground-key
detection. Detection thresholds for these functions are programmable. A programmable debounce timer is available that
eliminates false detection due to contact bounce.
For subscriber line diagnostics, AC and DC line conditions can be monitored using built-in test tools. Measured parameters can
be compared to programmed threshold levels to set a pass/fail bit. The user can choose to send the measurement data directly
to a higher level processor by way of the PCM voice channel. Both longitudinal and metallic resistance and capacitance can be
measured, which allows leakage resistance, line capacitance, and telephones to be identified.

Fault Indication
No Fault IMT operates normally (VREF ±1 V)
Thermal Shutdown KG, IMT above 2.8 V; ILG operates normally

Note:
1. These tests are performed with the following load impedances:
Frequency < 12 kHz – Longitudinal impedance = 500 Ω; metallic impedance = 300 Ω
Frequency > 12 kHz – Longitudinal impedance = 90 Ω; metallic impedance = 135 Ω
2. Not tested or partially tested in production. This parameter is guaranteed by characterization or correlation to other tests.
3. This parameter is tested at 1 kHz in production. Performance at other frequencies is guaranteed by characterization.
4. When the Am79231 and ISLAC device is in the anti-sat operating region, this parameter is degraded. The exact degradation depends on
system design.
5. –55 dBm gain tracking level not tested in production. This parameter is guaranteed by characterization and correlation to other tests.
6. This spec is valid from 0 V to VBL or –50 V, whichever is lower in magnitude.

OPERATING MODES
The Am79231 receives multiplexed control data on the P1, P2 and P3 pins. The LD pin then controls the loading of P1, P2, and
P3 values into the proper bits in the Am79231 control register. When the LD pin is less than 0.3 V below VREF (< (VREF – 0.3 V)),
P1–P3 must contain data for relay control bits RD1, RD2 and RD3. These are latched into the first three bits in the Am79231
control register. When the LD pin is more than 0.3 V above VREF, P1–P3 must contain ISLIC control data C1, C2, and C3, which
are latched into the last three bits of the Am79231 control register. Connecting the LD pin to VREF locks the contents of the
Am79231 control register.
The operating mode of the Am79231 is determined by the C1, C2, and C3 bits in the control register of the Am79231. Table 1
defines the Am79231 operating modes set by these signals.
Under normal operating conditions, the ISLIC device does not have active relays. The Am79231 to ISLAC device interface is
designed to allow continuous real-time control of the relay drivers to avoid incorrect data loads to the relay bit latches of the
Am79231 devices.
To perform external ringing, the ISLAC device from the Intelligent Access voice family is set to external ringing mode (RMODE =
1), enables the ring relay, and puts the Am79231 in the Standby mode.

Operating Mode Descriptions

Operating Mode Description
This mode disconnects both A and B output amplifiers from the AD and BD outputs. The A and B
amplifiers are shut down and the Am79231 selects the low battery voltage at the VBL pin. In the
Disconnect state, the currents on IMT and ILG represent the voltages on the SA and SB pins,
VSA
Disconnect respectively. These currents are scaled to produce voltages across RMTi and RLGi of ---------- and
400
V SB
---------- , respectively.
400
The power amplifiers are turned off. The AD output is driven by an internal 250 Ω (typical) resistor,
which connects to ground. The BD output is driven by an internal 250 Ω (typical) resistor, which
connects to the high battery (BATH) at the VBH pin, through a clamp circuit, which clamps to
approximately –50 V with respect to BGND. For VBH values above –55 V, the open-circuit voltage,
Standby which appears at this output is ~VBH + 7 V. If VBH is below –55 V, the voltage at this output is –50
V. The battery selection for the balance of the circuitry on the chip is VBL. Line supervision remains
active. Current limiting is provided on each line to limit power dissipation under short-loop conditions
as specified in the “Am79231 Current-Limit Behavior” section. In external ringing, the standby ISLIC
state is selected.
In this mode, the AD (Tip) lead is opened and the BD (Ring) lead is connected to a clamp, which
operates from the high battery on VBH pin and clamps to approximately –50 V with respect to BGND
Tip Open
through a resistor of approximately 250 Ω (typical). The battery selection for the balance of the
circuitry on the chip is VBL.
In the Active High Battery mode, battery connections are as shown in Table 1. Both output amplifiers
Active High Battery deliver the full power level determined by the programmed DC-feed conditions. Active High Battery
mode is enabled during a call in applications when a long loop can be encountered.
Both output amplifiers deliver the full power level determined by the programmed DC-feed
Active Low Battery conditions. VBL, the low negative battery, is selected in the Active Low Battery mode. This is
typically used during the voice part of a call.
On-Hook Transmission In the On-Hook Transmission, Fixed Longitudinal Voltage mode, battery connections are as shown
(OHT), Fixed Longitudinal in Table 1. The longitudinal voltage is fixed at the voltage shown in Table 1 to allow compliance with
Voltage safety specifications for some classes of products.

Driver Descriptions
Driver Description
A logic 1 on RD1 turns the R1 driver on and operates a relay connected between the R1 pin and VCCD. R1
R1
drives the ring relay when external ringing is selected.
A logic 1 on the RD2 signal turns the R2 driver on and routes current from the R2 pin to the RYE pin. In the
option where the RYE pin is connected to ground, the R2 pin can sink current from a relay connected to
VCCD.
R2 Another option is to connect the RYE pin to the BD (Ring) lead and connect a test load between R2 and the
AD (Tip) lead. This technique avoids the use of a relay to connect a test load. However, it does not isolate the
subscriber line from the linecard. The test load must be connected to the Am79231 side of the protection
resistor to avoid damage to the R2 driver.
A logic 1 on the RD3 signal turns the R3 driver on and routes current from the R3 pin to the RYE pin. In the
option where the RYE pin is connected to ground, the R3 pin can sink current from a relay connected to
VCCD.
R3 Another option is to connect the RYE pin to the B (Ring) lead and connect a test load between R3 and the A
(Tip) lead. This technique avoids the use of a relay to connect a test load. However, it does not isolate the
subscriber line from the linecard. The test load must be connected to the Am79231 side of the protection
resistor to avoid damage to the R3 driver.

Control bits RD1, RD2, and RD3 do not affect the operating mode of the Am79231. These signals usually perform the following
functions.

Thermal-Management Equations
Applies to all modes except Standby, which has no thermal management.
IL < 5 mA TMG resistor-current is limited to be 5 mA < IL. If IL < 5 mA,
PSLIC = (SBAT – IL(RL + 2RFUSE)) • IL + 0.3 W no current flows in the TMG resistor and it all flows in the
PTRTMG = 0 Am79231.

IL > 5 mA These equations are valid when

RTMG • (IL – 5 mA) < (SBAT – (RL + RF)IL) / 2 – 2
RMGPi = RMGLi = RTMG
because the longitudinal voltage is one-half the battery
PTRTMG: total power dissipation of RMGPi and RMGLi voltage and the TMG switches require approximately 2 V.
RTMG = (SBAT – IL(RL + 2RFUSE)) / (2(IL – 5 mA)) To choose a power rating for RTMG:
PRATING > PTRTMG / 2
PSLIC = IL(SBAT – IL(RL + 2RFUSE)) + 0.3 W – PTRTMG
Note that for reliable operation, PSLIC should be less than
PTRTMG = (IL – 5 mA)2(2RTMG)
1.33 W.

Note:
1. The P1–3 pins are updated continuously during operation by the LD signal.
2. After a power-on reset or hardware reset, the relay outputs from the Am79231 device turn all relays off. An unassuming state is to place
the relay control pins, which are level triggered, to a reset state for all relays. Any noise encountered only raises the levels toward the register
lock state.
3. When writing to the ISLIC registers, the sequence is:
a) Set LD pin to mid-state
b) Place appropriate data on the P1–3 pins
c) Assert the LD pin to High or Low to write the proper data
d) Return LD pin to mid-state
4. Am79231 registers are refreshed at 5.33 kHz when used with an ISLAC device.
5. If the clock or MPI becomes disabled, the LD pins and P1–3 returns to 0 V state, thus protecting the Am79231 and the line connection.
6. Not tested in production. Guaranteed by characterization.
