PBL 386 61/2
Subscriber Line
Interface Circuit
Description
The PBL 386 61/2 Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) is a 90 V bipolar integrated
circuit for use in Central Office, MUX and other telecommunications equipment. The
PBL 386 61/2 has been optimized for low total line interface cost and a high degree of
flexibility in different applications.
The PBL 386 61/2 emulates a transformer equivalent dc-feed, programmable
between 2x25
Ω
and 2x900
Ω,
with short loop current limiting adjustable to max
65 mA.
A second lower battery voltage may be connected to the device to reduce short
loop power dissipation. The SLIC automatically switches between the two battery
supply voltages without need for external components or external control.
The SLIC incorporates loop current and ring trip detection functions. The
PBL 386 61/2 is compatible with loop start signalling.
Two- to four-wire and four- to two-wire voice frequency (vf) signal conversion is
accomplished by the SLIC in conjunction with either a conventional CODEC/filter or
with a programmable CODEC/filter, e.g. SLAC, SiCoFi, Combo II. The programmable
line terminating impedance could be complex or real to fit every market.
Longitudinal line voltages are suppressed by a feedback loop in the SLIC and the
longitudinal balance specifications meet Bellcore TR909 requirements.
The PBL 386 61/2 package is 28-pin PLCC.

The circuit includes thermal protection. Operation above max. junction temperature may degrade device reliability.
A diode in series with the VBat input increases the permitted continuous voltage and pulse < 10 ms to -85 V. A pulse
≤1µs
is increased to the greater of |-70V| and |VBat -40V|.
R
F1
and R
F2
≥20 Ω
are also required. Pulse is supplied to TIP and RING outside R

and R

.
