2. Functional Description
2.1 Introduction
The CPC1465 can be used for a number of designs
that require a dc hold circuit such as SHDSL
applications and ISDN NT1 applications. Typical
SHDSL applications will use a circuit design similar to
the one shown in Figure 1‚ “CPC1465 Typical 2-Wire
dc Termination Application” on page 1 while the typical
ISDN NT1 circuit design will be similar to the one
shown in Figure 10‚ “Typical ISDN NT1 Application
Diagram” on page 9.
The DC Termination IC performs two functions in an
NT1; as an electronic inductor which provides a low
impedance dc termination with a high impedance ac
termination, and second as part of the dc signalling
system for testing line capability. The CPC1465 meets
or exceeds the requirements for an NT1 dc
termination as described in ANSI T1.601-1991.
2.1.1 Surge Protection
The CPC1465 requires few external components (see
Figure 1 on page 1). Although the CPC1465 is current
limited, it is not an over voltage surge protector. Clare
recommends the use of a crowbar-type surge
protector that limits the line voltage applied to the
CPC1465 to 250 V. The protection device must be
able to withstand the surge requirements specified by
the appropriate governing agency in regions where
the product will be deployed. Teccor, Inc. and Bourns,
Inc. make suitable surge protectors for most
applications. Devices such as Teccor’s P1800SC or
P2000SC Sidactors and Bourns’ TISP4220H3 or
TISP4240H3 thyristors should provide suitable
protection.
2.1.2 Bridge Rectifier
The bridge rectifier in the CPC1465 ensures that the
device is polarity insensitive and provides consistent
operational characteristics if the tip and ring leads are
reversed.
2.1.3 Trigger
The dc tip-lead to ring-lead I-V characteristics of the
CPC1465 are shown in “I-V Requirements Template,
0 V to 50 V” on page 5, and in “I-V Requirements
Template, 0 V to 250 V” on page 5. Application of
battery voltage to the loop causes the CPC1465 to
conduct when the voltage exceeds approximately
35 V. With sufficient voltage across the tip-lead and
ring-lead terminals, the CPC1465 will conduct about
150 µA of dc current for approximately 20 ms, then it
turns on. The CPC1465 remains on as long as the
loop current exceeds a nominal 0.5 mA.
The CPC1465 turn-on and turn-off timing circuits
assure that the device will not turn on if a voltage
greater than 43.5 V is applied for less than 3 ms, and
that it will not turn off if loop current is interrupted for
less than 3 ms.
2.1.4 Activation and Deactivation
Current for the opto-coupler LED flows when the
current in the CPC1465 exceeds 1 mA. The CPC1465
will turn on if a voltage above 43.5 V is applied for
more than 50 ms, and it will turn off if 1 mA loop
current is interrupted for more than 100 ms. See “Test
Circuit for Activate and Deactivate Times” on page 7,
“Applied Waveform for Activation Test” on page 7, and
“Applied Waveform for Deactivation Test” on page 7
for more information.
LED current is interrupted when loop current is
interrupted. The current in the on state is determined
by the battery voltage feed circuit and the loop
resistance.
2.1.5 Fault Conditions
If loop resistance is low or if the applied voltage is very
high, the CPC1465 limits loop current to less than
70 mA. While limiting current, the CPC1465 shunts
current through the 2.2 kΩ resistor to prevent excess
heating of the CPC1465.
Voltage in excess of 100 V applied to the tip and ring
interface will cause the CPC1465 to shut down with
very little current flow. Removal of the excessive
voltage automatically resumes normal operation.
