Preliminary
2.3 Ring Access Switch Zero-Cross Current Turn Off
After the application of a logic input to turn SW4 off,
the ring access switch is designed to delay the change
in state until the next zero-crossing. Once on, the
switch requires a zero-current cross to turn off, and
therefore should not be used to switch a pure DC
signal. The switch will remain in the on state no matter
what logic input until the next zero crossing. For proper
operation, pin 12 (R
RING
) should be connected using
proper impedance to a ring generator or other AC
source. These switching characteristics will reduce
and possibly eliminate overall system impulse noise
normally associated with ringing access switches. The
attributes of ringing access switch SW4 may make it
possible to eliminate the need for a zero-cross
switching scheme. A minimum impedance of 300 Ω in
series with the ring generator is recommended.
2.4 Power Supplies
Both a +5 V supply and battery voltage are connected
to the CPC7584. CPC7584 switch state control is
powered exclusively by the +5 V supply. As a result,
the CPC7584 exhibits extremely low power dissipation
during both active and idle states.
The battery voltage is not used for switch control but
rather as a reference for the integrated secondary
protection circuitry. The integrated SCR is designed to
trigger when pin 3 (T
BAT
) or pin 14 (R
BAT
) drops 2 to
4 V below the battery. This trigger prevents a fault
induced overvoltage event at the T
BAT
or R
BAT
nodes.
2.5 Battery Voltage Monitor
The CPC7584 also uses the voltage reference to
monitor battery voltage. If battery voltage is lost, the
CPC7582BC immediately enters the all-off state. It
remains in this state until the battery voltage is
restored. The device also enters the all-off state if the
battery voltage rises above –10 V and remains in the
all-off state until the battery voltage drops below
–15 V. This battery monitor feature draws a small
current from the battery (less than 1 mA typical) and
will add slightly to the device’s overall power
dissipation.
2.6 Protection
2.6.1 Diode Bridge/SCR
The CPC7584 uses a combination of current limited
break switches, a diode bridge/SCR clamping circuit,
and a thermal shutdown mechanism to protect the
SLIC device or other associated circuitry from damage
during line transient events such as lightning. During a
positive transient condition, the fault current is
conducted through the diode bridge to ground. Voltage
is clamped to the diode drop above ground. During a
negative transient of 2 to 4 V more negative than the
battery, the SCR conducts and faults are shunted to
ground via the SCR and diode bridge.
In order for the SCR to crowbar or foldback, the on
voltage (see “Protection Circuitry Electrical
Specifications” on page 8) of the SCR must be less
negative than the battery reference voltage. If the
battery voltage is less negative the SCR on voltage,
the SCR will not crowbar, however it will conduct fault
currents to ground.
For power induction or power-cross fault conditions,
the positive cycle of the transient is clamped to the
diode drop above ground and the fault current directed
to ground. The negative cycle of the transient will
cause the SCR to conduct when the voltage exceeds
the battery reference voltage by two to four volts,
steering the current to ground.
2.6.2 Current Limiting function
If a lightning strike transient occurs when the device in
the talk/idle state, the current is passed along the line
to the integrated protection circuitry and limited by the
dynamic current limit response of break switches SW1
and SW2. When a 1000V 10/1000 pulse (LSSGR
lightning) is applied to the line though a properly
clamped external protector, the current seen at pins 2
(T
BAT
) and pin 15 (R
BAT
) will be a pulse with a typical
magnitude of 2.5 A and a duration of less than 0.5 ms.
If a power-cross fault occurs with the device in the
talk/idle state, the current is passed though break
switches SW1 and SW2 on to the integrated
protection circuit and is limited by the dynamic DC
current limit response of the two break switches. The
DC current limit, specified over temperature, is
between 80 mA and 425 mA, and the circuitry has a
negative temperature coefficient. As a result, if the
device is subjected to extended heating due to power
cross fault, the measured current at pin 2 (T
BAT
) and
pin 15 (R
BAT
) will decrease as the device temperature
increases. If the device temperature rises sufficiently,
the temperature shutdown mechanism will activate
and the device will default to the all-off state.
2.7 Temperature Shutdown
The thermal shutdown mechanism will activate when
the device temperature reaches a minimum of 110° C,
placing the device in the all-off state regardless of
logic input. During thermal shutdown mode, pin 7
(TSD) will read 0 V. Normal output of TSD is +V
