ILA1068
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
maximum output swing on LN and the DC
characteristics (especially at lower voltages).
Under normal conditions, when ISLPE >> ICC + 0.5 mA
+ Ip , the static behaviour of the circuit is that of a
4.2 V regulator diode with an internal resistance
equal to that of R9. In the audio frequency range, the
dynamic impedance is largely determined by R1 (see
Fig.2).
The internal reference voltage can be adjusted by
means of an external resistor (RVA). This resistor,
connected between LN and REG, will decrease the
internal reference voltage; when connected between
REG and SLPE, it will increase the internal reference
voltage. Current (Ip) available from VCC for supplying
peripheral circuits depends on external components
and on the line current.
Supplies VCC, LN, SLPE, REG and STAB
Power for the IC and its peripheral circuits is usually
obtained from the telephone line. The ILA1068
develops its own supply at V and regulates its
CC
voltage drop. The supply voltage V may also be
CC
used to supply external circuits, e.g. dialling and
control circuits.
Decoupling of the supply voltage is performed by a
capacitor between VCC and VEE; the internal voltage
regulator is decoupled by a capacitor between REG
and VEE.
The DC current flowing into the set is determined by
the exchange voltage (Vexch), the feeding bridge
resistance, (Rexch) and the DC resistance of the
telephone line (Rline).
An internal current stabilizer is set by a resistor of
3.6 KW between the current stabilizer pin STAB and
VEE (see Fig.1).

If the line current Iline exceeds the current ICC + 0.5 mA
required by the circuit itself (approximately 1mA)
plus the current Ip required by the peripheral circuits
connected to VCC, then the voltage regulator diverts
the excess current via LN.
The circuit has symmetrical microphone inputs. Its
input impedance is 64 KW (2 x32 KW) and its voltage
gain is typically 52 dB (when R7 = 68 KW, see
Figure 5). Dynamic, magnetic, piezo-electric or
electret (with built-in FET source followers) can be
used.
The regulated voltage on the line terminal (VLN) can
be calculated as:
VLN = Vref + ISLPE x R9
The gain of the microphone amplifier can be adjusted
between 44 dB and 60 dB. The gain is proportional to
the value of R7 connected between GAS1 and GAS2.
An external capacitor C6 of 100 pF between GAS1
and SLPE is required to ensure stability. A larger
value may be chosen to obtain a first-order low-pass
filter. The cut-off frequency corresponds to the time
constant R7 xC6.
VLN = Vref + ((Iline - ICC - 0.5 x 103)-Ip) x R9,
where V is an internally generated temperature
ref
compensated reference voltage of 4.2 V and R9 is an
external resistor connected between SLPE and V .
The preferred value for R9 is 20 W. Changing the
value of R9 will also affect microphone gain, DTMF
gain, gain control characteristics, side-tone level, the
EE
