Only one external protector required
states: the idle talk state (line break switches closed,
ringing access switches open), the power ringing
state (line break switches open, ringing access
switches closed), and an all OFF state.
The L7581 offers break-before-make or make-before-
break switching, with simple logic level input control.
Because of the solid-state construction, voltage tran-
sients generated when switching into an inductive
ringing load during ring cadence or ring trip are mini-
mized, possibly eliminating the need for external zero
cross switching circuitry. State control is via logic
level inputs, so no additional driver circuitry is
required.
The line break switch is a linear switch that has
exceptionally low ON-resistance and an excellent
ON-resistance matching characteristic. The ringing
access switch has a breakdown voltage rating
>480 V which is sufficiently high, with proper protec-
tion, to prevent breakdown in the presence of a tran-
sient fault condition (i.e., passing the transient on to
the ringing generator).
Incorporated into the L7581Axx is a diode bridge/
SCR clamping circuit, current-limiting circuitry, and a
thermal shutdown mechanism to provide protection
to the SLIC device and subsequent circuitry during
fault conditions (see Figure 1). Positive and negative
lightning is reduced by the current-limiting circuitry
and steered to ground via diodes and the integrated
SCR. Power cross is also reduced by the current-
limiting and thermal shutdown circuits.
The L7581Bxx version provides only an integrated
diode bridge along with current limiting and thermal
shutdown, as shown in Figure 2. This will cause pos-
itive faults to be directed to ground and negative
faults to battery. In either polarity, faults are reduced
by the current-limit and/or thermal shutdown mecha-
nisms.

Description
The L7581 Ringing Access Switch is a monolithic
solid-state device that provides the switching func-
tionality of a 2 form C switch.
The L7581 is designed to provide power ringing
access to tip and ring in central office, digital loop
carrier, private branch exchange, digitally added
main line, and hybrid fiber coax/fiber-in-the-loop ana-
log line card applications. The L7581 has three

Description
(continued)
To protect the L7581 from an overvoltage fault condi-
tion, use of a secondary protector is required. The sec-
ondary protector must limit the voltage seen at the tip/
ring terminals to prevent the breakdown voltage of the
switches from being exceeded. To minimize stress on
the solid-state contacts, use of a foldback- or crowbar-
type secondary protector is recommended. With proper
choice of secondary protection, a line card using the
L7581 will meet all relevant ITU-T, LSSGR, FCC, or
UL*
protection requirements.
The L7581 operates off of a 5 V supply only. This gives
the device extremely low idle and active power dissipa-
tion and allows use with virtually any range of battery
voltage. This makes the L7581 especially appropriate
for remote power applications such as DAML or FOC/
FITL or other Bellcore TA 909 applications where
power dissipation is particularly critical.
A battery voltage is also used by the L7581, only as a
reference for the integrated protection circuit. The
L7581 will enter an all OFF state upon loss of battery.
During power ringing, to turn on and maintain the ON
state, the ring access switch will draw a nominal 2 mA
or 4 mA from the ring generator.
The L7581 device is packaged in a 16-pin, plastic DIP
package (L7581AC/BC) and a 16-pin, plastic SOG
package (L7581AAE/BAE). These devices are pin
compatible with the L7541 device.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings
can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the
device is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operational sections of the
data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Handling Precautions
Although protection circuitry has been designed into
this device, proper precautions should be taken to
avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during
handling and mounting. Lucent Technologies Micro-
electronics Group employs a human-body model
(HBM) and a charged-device model (CDM) for ESD-
susceptibility testing and protection design evaluation.
ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the circuit
parameters used to define the model. No industry-wide
standard has been adopted for CDM. However, a stan-
dard HBM (resistance = 1500
Ω,
capacitance = 100 pF)
is widely used and therefore can be used for compari-
son purposes. The HBM ESD threshold presented
here was obtained by using these circuit parameters.
