Description
The MH89728 and MH89726 are thick film hybrid
devices which may be used to extend the operating
range of the MT8972 (DNIC). The hybrids combine
signal equalization and amplification for the receive
and transmit paths on each device.
The small size of these hybrids makes them suitable
for line card or terminal use with the MT8972. The
gain of the transmit signal may be adjusted through
the use of an external resistor.

Advance Information
Functional Description
The MH89726/728 are 10 pin SIL thick film hybrid
circuits that may be used to extend the loop range
capability of the MT8972 (DNIC). For a detailed
description of the DNIC, refer to the MT8972 data
sheet.
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the Loop
Extender Circuit (LEC). The LEC takes the line
signal which is transmitted by the DNIC on L
OUT
, pre-
equalizes, and amplifies it before sending it to the
termination network. The gain of the TX amplifier is
adjustable by using an external resistor between
pins 1 and 2. If no external resistor is added, TX
GAIN
and TX
OUT
must be shorted together, and the default
gain condition exists. This gain results in a transmit
signal power level of +10 dBm.
On the receive side, the LEC receives the differential
line signal from the transformer, and performs first-
order pre-cancellation as well as gain and phase
adjustment of the receive signal. The signal is then
output on RX
OUT
which is connected to L
IN
of the
MT8972.
Tables 1 and 2 show typical results obtained by
using the LEC with the MT8972. Actual distance
achieved may vary depending on the characteristics
of the transmission cable being used.
Most
important factors include cable attenuation (dB/km),
bridged taps, and crosstalk interference.
MH89726/728
The LEC is powered typically from ±15 Volts if dual
power supplies are available. Alternately 0 to +30
Volts, or -30 to 0 Volts can be used if only a single
power supply is available.
Applications
Figure 3 shows a typical connection diagram of the
MT8972 and MH89726/728. RX
OUT
and T
XIN
of the
LEC are connected to L
OUT
and L
IN
of the DNIC
respectively. Pins 5, 6 and 7 are the power supply
pins, with the voltages being supplied as indicated in
the table . An external resistor, R
EXT
, may be used
to increase the gain of the transmitter. Without R
EXT
,
TX
GAIN
and TX
OUT
are shorted together resulting in
a transmit power level of +10 dBm.
R
LL
, R
L
, and C
L
comprise the termination network
and are used to match the characteristic impedance
of the transmission line. This provides the 4 wire to 2
wire hybrid conversion necessary for twisted pair
transmission.
Figure 4 shows a typical application of the LEC. On
short loops, jumpers (or switches) could be used to
remove the LEC from the circuit. For longer loops,
the jumpers could be changed to include the LEC in
the signal path.
