Gain Control
It is possible to set the Transmit and Receive gains
by the selection of the appropriate external
components.
The gains can be calculated by the following
formulae:
2W to 4W gain
Gain 2 - 4 = 20 Log [ R8 / R7]
4W to 2W gain
Gain 4 - 2 = 20 Log [0.891 * [R10 / R9)]
The MT91610, with external bipolar transistors,
functions as an Analog Line SLIC for use in a 4 Wire
switched system. The SLIC performs all of the
BORSH functions whilst interfacing to a CODEC or
switching system.
2 Wire to 4 Wire conversion
The SLIC performs 2 wire to 4 wire conversion by
taking the 4 wire signal from an analog switch or
voice CODEC, and converting it to a 2 wire
differential signal at Tip and Ring. The 2 wire signal
applied to tip and ring by the phone is converted to a

Impedance Programming
The MT91610 allows the designer to set the device’s
impedance across TIP and RING, (Z
TR
), and
network balance impedance, (Z
NB
), separately with
external low cost components.
The impedance (Z
TR
) is set by R4, R5, whilst the
network balance, (Z
NB
), is set by R6, R8, (see Figure
4.)
The network balance impedance should
calculated once the 2W - 4W gain has been set.

Preliminary Information
Loop Supervision
The Loop Supervision circuit monitors the state of
the phone line and when the phone goes "Off Hook"
the SHK pin goes high to indicate this state. This pin
reverts to a low state when the phone goes back "On
Hook" or if the loop resistance is too high (>2.3KΩ)
When loop disconnect dialing is being used, SHK
pulses to logic 0 indicate the digits being dialled.
This output should be debounced.
Constant Current Control & Voltage
Fold Over Mode
The SLIC employs a feedback circuit to supply a
constant feed current to the line. This design is
accomplished by sensing the sum of the voltages
across the feed resistors, Ra and Rb, and comparing
it to the input reference voltage, Vref, that
determines the constant current feed current.
By using a resistive divider network, (Figure 3), it is
possible to generate the required voltage to set the
I
LOOP
. This voltage can be calculated by the formula:
I
LOOP
= [ G * 5] * 3
(Ra +Rb)
where,
G = R2 / (R1 + R2)
I
LOOP
is in Ampere.
R1= 200KΩ
Ra = Rb = 100
Ω
R2 = 72.73 KΩ
R2 = 100 KΩ
R2 = 133.33 KΩ
Line Impedance
For optimum performance, the characteristic
impedance of the line, (Z
o
), and the device’s
impedance across TIP and RING, (Z
TR
), should
match. Therefore:
Z
o
= Z
TR
The relationship between Z
o
and the components
that set Z
TR
is given by the formula:
Z
o
/ ( Ra+Rb) = kZ
o
/ R4
where kZ
o
= R5
Ra = Rb
The value of k can be set by the designer to be any
value between 20 and 250. R4 and R5 should be
greater than 50kΩ.
Network Balance Impedance
The network balance impedance, (Z
NB
), will set the
transhybrid loss performance for the circuit. The
transhybrid loss of the circuit depends on both the 4 -
2 Wire gain and the 2 - 4 Wire gain.
The method of setting the values for R6 (or Z6... it
can be a complex impedance) is given as below:
R6 = R7 * (R9 / R10) * 2.2446689 * ( Z
NB
/ Z

Preliminary Information
As +5V is used as the reference voltage to generate
the loop current, any noise on the +5V rail will
deteriorate the PSR (Power Supply Rejection)
parameter of the SLIC. It is therefore important to
decouple +5V to GND. A 0.1uF cap at Vref pin (pin6)
is recommended.
The MT91610 operating current mode is
recommended to be between 20mA and 30mA. The
device will automatically switch to voltage hold over
mode should an unexpected long loop situation
occur for a given programmed loop current. The
lowest operational current should be 16mA with
VBAT set at -48V. A typical Operating Current versus
Loop Resistance with VBAT at -48V is shown in
Figure 7.
MT91610
Balanced Ringing & Automatic Ring
Tripping
Balanced Ringing is applied to the line by setting the
RC to +5V (pin 25) and connecting ringing signal
(20Hz) to RV (pin 35) as shown in Figure 4. A
1.2Vrms input will give approximately about 60Vrms
output across Tip and Ring, sufficient for short loop
SLIC application. The SLIC is capable of detecting
an Off Hook condition during ringing by filtering out
the large A.C. component. A 0.47uF cap should be
connected to pin CP6 (pin 29) to form such filter.
This filter allows a true Off Hook condition to be
monitored at pin SHK (pin 33). When an Off Hook
condition is detected by the SLIC, it will remove the
20Hz AC ringing voltage and revert to constant
current mode. The local controller will, however, still
need to deselect RC (set it to 0V).
The MT91610 supports short burst of ringing
cadence. A deglitching input (CP7) is provided to
ensure that the SHK pin is glitch free during the
assertion and de-assertion of RC. A 33nF cap
should be connected at this pin to GND.
A
positive voltage source is required to be
connected to the pin DCRI (Figure 5) for normal
Ringing generation. The SLIC can perform ringing
even with the DCRI input connected to 0V. However,
it does require the VBAT to be lower than -48V (ie at
-53V or lower) and the 20Hz AC input should be a
square wave at 2Vrms.
UD & Line Drivers Overcurrent
Protection
The Line Drivers control the external Battery Feed
circuit which provide power to the line and allows bi-
directional audio transmission.
The loop supervision circuitry provides bias to the
line drivers to feed a constant current. Overcurrent
protection is done by the following steps:
(A) External bipolar transistors to limit the current of
the NPN drivers to 50mA (Figure 5).
(B) The local controller should monitor the
Unbalance Detection output (UD) for any extended
period of assertion (>5 seconds). In such case the
controller should power down the device by asserting
the PD pin, and polls the device every 5 seconds.
The UD output can be used to support GND START
LOOP in a PaBX operation.
Please note that this UD output should be
disregarded and masked out if RC pin is active (ie
set to +5V).
Line Reversal
The MT91610 can deliver Line Reversal, which is
required in operation such as ANI, by simply setting
LR (pin 7) to +5V. The device transmission
parameters will cease during the reversal. The LR
(pin 7) should be set to 0V for all normal loop
operations.
Power Down And Wake Up
The MT91610 should normally be powered down to
conserve energy by setting the PD pin to +5V. The
SHK pin will be asserted if the equipment side (2
wire) goes off hook. The local controller should then
restore power to the SLIC for normal operations by
setting the PD pin to 0V.
Please note that there will be a short break (about
80ms) in the assertion time of SHK due to the time
required for the loop to power up and loop current to
flow. The local controller should be able to mask out
this time fairly easily.
