Preliminary Information
Ringing Voltage Detection
Figure 5 (b) - DC Mask
The sensitivity of the ringing voltage detection
circuitry can be set to the internal default value of
16Vrms by setting RSEN to logic 0. If a user-
programmable voltage is required, RSEN is set to
logic 1, and a voltage is applied to the RS pin. The
relationship between the detection threshold voltage
applied to the RS pin and the actual ringing
amplitude detected is shown below:

The third condition is shown in Figure 5 (c) and
requires current limiting. It is more commonly known
as French current limiting but has since been
adopted by the TBR021 specification. The French
current limit can be applied by linking VL1 to Vneg
on the MT91633 and applying a DC voltage (referred
to Vneg) of 5V. Note that R7 and Z2 (Figure 6) are
only fitted if French current limiting is required.
A potential divider consisting of two resistors from
Vdd to 0V can be used to generate Vth at RS.
An AC ringing voltage across Tip and Ring will cause
RV to output TTL pulses at the ringing frequency.
Dummy Ringer
The curves have been taken from ETSI
specifications for Europe, TBR021, and the relevant
specifications relating to individual countries, and
were correct at time of going to press. It is advisable
to confirm your DC mask requirements before
designing the product into a system.
A dummy ringer circuit can be connected across Tip
and Ring, which is an AC load representing a
telephone s mechanical ringer.
In normal circumstances, when a telephone is on-
hook and connected to the PSTN, its AC (Ringer)
load is permanently presented to the network. This
condition is used by many PTTs to test line continuity
by forcing a small AC current onto the line and
measuring the voltage across Tip and Ring.
Input Impedance
The input impedance to match a particular country is
set by fitting external components to the MT91633.
These components are the same values as the
required output impedance e.g. for a 600Ω input
impedance, fit a 600Ω resistor between VPOS and
VIR. Alternatively, a programmable CODEC can be
used to modify the input impedance from 600Ω. It
should be noted that a different resistor network
(MH80632) is required for a design with a different
input impedance to 600Ω. See application notes for
further information.
Today s telecom equipment may not have an AC load
present across Tip and Ring (e.g. modems);
therefore, any testing carried out by the PTT will see
an open circuit across Tip and Ring. In this instance
the PTT assumes that the line continuity has been
damaged.
To overcome this problem many PTTs specify that a
Dummy Ringer is presented to the network at all
times. The dummy ringer can be configured such
that it has no effect during off-hook operation. The
requirement for the Dummy Ringer is country
specific.
Network Balance
The network balance impedance of the device is set
to be the same as the output impedance.
