the line feed circuitry.
Test_IN Monitor. Break switches SW1 and SW2
plus the TEST_IN switches SW5 and SW6 closed,
all other switches open. With this state it is possible
to monitor the SLIC output while the SLIC is driving
the line.
Test_OUT Monitor. Break switches SW1 and SW2
plus the TEST_OUT switches SW3 and SW4
closed, all other switches open. With this state it is
possible to monitor the LCAS output while the SLIC
is driving the line.

plus the TEST_OUT switches SW3 and SW4
closed, all other switches open. This state allows
simultaneous testing of the transmission channel
and the drop.
Test_IN BRIDGE. TEST_IN switches SW5 and
SW6 plus TEST BRIDGE switches SW7 and SW8
closed, all other switches open. This state allows
connecting the SLIC output to the Test Out bus to
compare the on-hook TEST_OUT Monitor
evaluation. This makes it possible to determine if
there is a failure with the Break Switches.
All-Off. All switches open. Activation of this state can
be accomplished by setting the appropriate IN

2.3 Switch Logic and Control
2.3.1 Introduction
The CPC7508 uses a three input transparent latch as
the interface between the externally controlled inputs,
IN
A
, IN
B
and IN
C
and the switch logic. Control of the
transparent latch is by means of the LATCH input.
Data output from the latch is fed into the switch control
logic which decodes the inputs and drives the
appropriate switches. To prevent undesirable switch
activity during both start-up and power down the
switch control logic also contains under voltage lock
out detection circuitry to manage the behavior of the
CPC7508. The under voltage lock out release
threshold is internally set to ensure all internal logic is
properly biased before accepting external switch
commands from the INx inputs to control the switch
states. Prior to release of the under voltage lock out,
the switch control logic is conditioned to the All-Off
state
2.3.2 Under Voltage Detection and Switch Lock Out
Under voltage detection circuitry in the CPC7508
consists of an internal detector to evaluate the V
DD
supply and smart logic to provide for switch state
control during both power up and power loss
transitions.
Any time an unsatisfactory condition causes the V
DD
supply to fall below the internally set under voltage
lockout threshold, the smart logic overrides user
switch control by blocking the information at the INx
input pins and conditions the switch control logic to
place the switches into the All-Off state.
2.3.2.1 Power Up Sequence
Upon power up, the under voltage detector and smart
logic become active before the switch driver circuits
and the switch control logic can activate any of the
switches. As the V
DD
supply starts up, the rising
supply voltage is evaluated by the under voltage
detector to determine when to de-assert the under
voltage switch lock out command. Prior to release of
the lock out command, the smart logic preconditions
the switch control logic for the All-Off state.
The All_Off state is sustained by holding the LATCH
input at a logic high level. This is accomplished by an
external resistor at the LATCH pin which pulls the
input to the supply voltage used by the on-board logic.
The LATCH logic high secures the switch control logic
and the CPC7508 remains in the All-Off state until the
LATCH input is pulled down to a logic low. Prior to the
assertion of a logic low at the LATCH pin, the control
inputs IN
A
, IN
B
and IN
C
must be properly conditioned.
2.3.2.2 Hot Plug and Power Up Circuit Design
Considerations
To facilitate hot plug insertion and power up control the
LATCH pin has an external pull up resistor to the local
logic power rail that will hold a non-driven LATCH pin
at a logic high state. This enables board designers to
use the CPC7508 with FPGAs and other devices that
provide high impedance outputs during power up and
configuration.
CPC7508
R04 www.clare.com 11
There are six possible start up scenarios that can
occur during power up. They are:
1. All inputs defined at power up & LATCH = 0
2. All inputs defined at power up & LATCH = 1
3. All inputs defined at power up & LATCH = Z
4. All inputs not defined at power up & LATCH = 0
5. All inputs not defined at power up & LATCH = 1
6. All inputs not defined at power up & LATCH = Z
Under all of the start up situations listed above the
CPC7508 will hold all of it’s switches in the all-off state
during power up. When V
DD
requirements have been
satisfied the LCAS will complete it’s start up procedure
in one of three conditions.
For start up scenario 1 the CPC7508 will transition
from the all-off state to the state defined by the inputs
when V
DD
is valid.
For start up scenarios 2, 3, 5, and 6 the CPC7508 will
power up in the all-off state and remain there until the
LATCH pin is pulled low. This allows for an indefinite
all-off state for boards inserted into a powered system
but are not configured for service or boards that need
to wait for other devices to be configured first.
Start up scenario 4 will start up with all switches in the
all-off state but upon the acceptance of a valid V
DD
the
LCAS will revert to one of the legitimate states listed in
the truth tables and there after may randomly change
states based on input pin leakage currents and
loading. Because the LCAS state after power up can
not be predicted with this start up condition it should
never be utilized.
On designs that do not wish to individually control the
LATCH pins of multi-port cards it is possible to bus
many (or all) of the LATCH pins together to create a
single board level input enable control.
2.3.2.3 Power Loss Sequence
For a falling V
DD
event, the under voltage lock out
detector monitors the supply voltage and upon
reaching the internally set threshold point asserts the
under voltage lock out command. This feature protects
the integrity of the application during power dropouts
by assuring proper logic and switch behavior up to the
moment the switches are forced off and external
inputs are suppressed. Upon assertion of the under
voltage lock out command the switch control logic is
conditioned into the All_Off state where it will remain
until V
DD
recovers and the LATCH input is pulled low.
2.3.3 Data Latch
The CPC7508 has an integrated transparent data
latch controlled by the LATCH input which can be used
as an enable or a chip select function when the INx
inputs of multiple LCAS devices are connected to
common busses. The latch enable operation is
controlled by TTL input logic levels at the LATCH pin.
Control data is input to the latch via the input pins IN
A
,
IN
B
and IN
C
while the output of the data latch are
internal nodes used for state control. When the
LATCH enable input control pin is a logic 0 (low) the
data latch is transparent and any change to the inputs
will flow directly through the latch to the state control
circuitry and be reflected by a change in the switches
status.
Whenever the LATCH enable control pin is at logic 1,
the data latch is active and data is locked. Subsequent
changes to the input controls IN
A
, IN
B
and IN
C
will not
result in a change to the control logic or affect the
existing switch state.
2.4 T
SD
Pin Description
The T
SD
pin is a bi-directional I/O structure used as an
output to indicate a thermal shutdown event is in effect
and as an input to condition the device into the All-Off
state.
As an output, this pin indicates the status of the
thermal shutdown circuitry. During normal operation
the output will be pulled up to a logic high by an
external resistor tied to the local logic supply voltage.
Under a line fault situation that creates excess thermal
loading, the CPC7508 will enter thermal shutdown
and a logic low will be output.
As an input, the T
SD
pin is utilized to place the
CPC7508 into the “All-Off” state by simply pulling the
input to a logic low. Clare recommends the use of an
open-collector or an open-drain type output from the
control logic to manage the All-Off state using the T
SD
pin.
Forcing T
SD
to a logic 1 or tying this pin to V
CC
will not
prevent normal operation of the thermal shutdown
circuitry inside the CPC7508. It will however prevent
the user from detecting a thermal shutdown condition
and is therefore not recommended.
CPC7508

Neither the T
SD
input control nor the T
SD
output
functions are affected by the latch function. Since
internal thermal shutdown control and external “All-off
control is not affected by the state of the LATCH
enable input, T
SD
will override state control.
2.5 Power Supplies
Only a +12 V supply and ground are connected to the
CPC7508. Switch state control is powered exclusively
by the +12 V supply while internal level shifters
provide the necessary translation from the low voltage
inputs to the switch driver circuitry.
2.6 Protection
The CPC7508 uses a combination of current limiting
and a thermal shutdown mechanism to protect the
SLIC device and itself from damage during transient
line faults such as lightning.
For power induction or power-cross fault conditions
the DC current limit function restricts the maximum
current through the switches. Excess power
dissipation during current limiting events will trigger
the thermal shutdown circuit to shut down all of the
switches.
2.6.1 Current Limiting function
If a lightning strike transient occurs when any of the
devices switches are operating, the current will be
restricted by the dynamic current limit response of the
active switches. For instance, during the talk state,
when a 1000V 10x1000 μs lightning pulse
(GR-1089-CORE) is applied to the line though a
properly clamped external protector, the current seen
at T
LINE
and R
LINE
will be a pulse with a typical
magnitude of 2.5 A and a duration less than 0.5 μs.
If a power-cross fault occurs with the device in the talk
state, the current is passed though the break switches
SW1 and SW2 but is limited by the 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 a power cross fault condition,
the measured current at T
LINE
and R
LINE
will decrease
as the device temperature increases. If the device
temperature rises sufficiently, the temperature
shutdown mechanism will activate and the device will
enter the all-off state.
2.6.2 Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown mechanism activates when the
device die temperature reaches a minimum of 110° C,
placing the device in the all-off state regardless of
logic input. During thermal shutdown events the T
SD
pin will output a logic low with a nominal 0 V level. A
logic high is output from the T
SD
pin during normal
operation with a typical output level equal to V
DD
.
If presented with a short duration transient such as a
lightning event, the thermal shutdown feature will
typically not activate. But in an extended power-cross
event, the device temperature will rise and the thermal
shutdown mechanism will activate forcing the switches
to the all-off state. At this point the current measured
into T
LINE
or R
LINE
will drop to zero. Once the device
enters thermal shutdown it will remain in the all-off
state until the temperature of the device drops below
the de-activation level of the thermal shutdown circuit.
This permits the device to autonomously return to
normal operation. If the transient has not passed,
current will again flow up to the value allowed by the
dynamic DC current limiting of the switches and
heating will resume, reactivating the thermal shutdown
mechanism. This cycle of entering and exiting the
thermal shutdown mode will continue as long as the
fault condition persists. If the magnitude of the fault
condition is great enough, the external secondary
protector will activate shunting the fault current to
ground.
2.7 External Protection Elements
The CPC7508 requires only the over voltage
secondary protector normally used to protect the
ringing SLIC placed on the line side of the LCAS. The
secondary protector must limit voltage transients to
levels that do not exceed the breakdown voltage or
input-output isolation barrier of the CPC7508. Use of a
foldback or crowbar type protector is recommended to
minimize stresses on the LCAS.
Consult Clare’s application note, AN-100, Designing
Surge and Power Fault Protection Circuits for Solid
State Subscriber Line Interfaces” for equations related
to the specifications of external secondary protectors,
fused resistors and PTCs.
