PBL 385 73
Few hints how to widen
some of the specification
limits.
How to increase the maximum allowable
line current ? The current capability can
be extended by using more sophisticated
cooling methods but can also be done as
follows:
The maximum line current capability is
mainly set by the power rating of the
package used for the speech circuit
chip.The power used in the speech circuit
loop is divided between the IC and the
resistor R6. When a resistor R
into the loop it will drain power at high line
currents from the IC but observe that it will
also limit the receiver and transmitter sig-
nal swing on the line.These have to be
recalculated at introduction of a resistor R
Also observe that at high line currents the
R6 has to withstand close to 1 watt.
In case a higher DC - mask is desired, it
can be increased by connecting diodes in
series with the pin 4. Each diode will rise
the level by
direction will preserve the function of the
fast start circuit.
How to determin the chip
temperature at various line
currents.
It is important to know the chip tempera-
ture when using the component at high line
currents but especially when using the SO-
package. Obviously the mounting of the
component on the PC-board has a great
influence on the heat transfer from the chip
to the ambient. A couple rules of thumb
are; leave as much copper foil under and
around the package as possible. Use, if
possible, temperature conducting glue at
assembly of the package. Do not mount
the R6 close to the circuit and sometimes
it´s good to split the R6 into several
components in order to avoid heat con-
centration.
A simple methode to ensure that the chip
temperature is within safe limits at the line
current in question is to measure the the
voltage at pin 10 to ground with pin 9
grounded. This measured voltage being
over 0.5 volts indicates a safe chip
temperature but going under this value
some additional calculations are to be
made to determine the real chip tempera-
ture.
