3. Using LITELINK
As a full-featured telephone line interface, LITELI NK
performs the following functions:
•DC termination
•A C impedance control
•V/I slope control
•2-wire to 4-wire conversion (hybrid)
•Current limiting
•Ring detection
•Caller ID signal reception
•Switch hook
LITELINK can accommodate specific application f ea-
tures without sacrificing basic functionality and perfor-
mance. Application features include, but are not
limited to:
•High gain (+3 dBm) oper ation
•Pulse dialing
•Ground start
•Loop start
•Parallel telephone off-hook detection (911 feature)
•Battery reversal
•Line presence
•W orld-wide progr ammab le oper ation
This section of the data sheet describes LITELINK
operation in st andard configuration for usual oper a-
tion. Clare off ers addit ional applicat ion inf ormation on-
line (see Section 5 on page 14). These include informa-
tion on the following topics:
•Circuit isolation considerations
•Optimizing LITELINK performance
•Data Access Arrangement architect ure
•LITELINK circuit descriptions
•Surge protection
•EMI considerations
Other specific application materials are also refer-
enced in this section as appropriate.
3.1 Switch Hook Control (On-hook
and Off-hook States)
LITELINK operates in one of two conditions, on-hook
and off-hook. In the on -hook condition t he te lephone
line is available for calls. In the off-hook condition the
telephone line is engaged. Use the OH control input to
place LITELINK in one of these two states. With OH
high, LITELINK is on-hook and ready to make or
receive a call. The snoop circuit is enab led. Assert OH
low to place LITELI NK in th e off -hook st ate. In the off-
hook state, loop current flows through LITELINK and
the system is answering or placing a call.
3.2 On-hook Operation
The LITELINK application circuit leakage current is
less than 10 µA with 100 V across ring and tip, equiv a-
lent to greater t han 10 MΩ on-hook resist ance .
3.2.1 Ring Signal Detection via the Snoop
Circuit
In the on-hook state (OH and CID not asserted), an
internal multiplexer turns on the snoop circuit. This cir-
cuit monitors the telephone line for two conditions; an
incoming ring signal, and caller ID data bursts.
Refer to the application schematic diagram (see Figure
3 on page 6). C7 (CSNP-) and C8 (CSNP+) provide a
high-v oltage isolation barrier between the telephone
line and SNP- and SNP+ on the LITELI NK while cou-
pling A C signals to the snoop amplifier. The snoop cir-
cuit “snoops” the telep hone line cont inuously while
dra w ing no current. I n the LITELINK, ringing signals
are compared to a threshold. The comparator output
f orms the RING signal output from LITELINK. This sig-
nal must be qualified by the host system as a valid
ringing signal. A low level on RING indicates that the
LITELINK ring signal threshold has been exceeded.
F or the CPC5610 (wit h t he half-wave ring detector),
the frequency of the RING output f ollo w s the fre-
quency of the ringing signal from the central office
(CO), typically 20 Hz. The RING output of t he
CPC5611 (with the full-wa ve ring detector) is twice the
ringing signal frequency.
Hysteresis is employed in the LITELINK ring detector
circuit to provide noise imm unity. The setup of the ring
detector comparator causes RING output pulses t o
remain low for most of the ringing signal half-cycle.
The RING output returns high f or the entire negativ e
half-cycle of the ringing signal for the CPC5610. For
the CPC5611, the RING output returns high for a short
period near the zero-crossing of the ringing signal
bef o re re turning low during the positive half -cycle . For
both the CPC5610 and CPC5611, t he RING output
remains high between ringing signal b ursts.
The ring detection threshold depends on the v alues of
R3 (RSNPD), R6 (RSNP-), R7 (RSNP+), C7 ( CSNP-), and
C8 (CSNP+). The value s for these components sho wn
in the typical application circuits are recommended f or
