A feed back loop counteracts longitudinal
voltages at the two-wire port by injecting
longitudinal currents in opposing phase.
Thus longitudinal disturbances will
appear as longitudinal currents and the
TIPX and RINGX terminals will experience
very small longitudinal voltage excursions,
leaving metallic voltages well within the
SLIC common mode range.
The SLIC longitudinal impedance per
wire, ZLoT and ZLoR, appears as typically
20Ω to longitudinal disturbances. It should
be noted that longitudinal currents may
exceed the dc loop current without distur-
bing the vf transmission.

ThecapacitorCLP,whichconnectsbetween

The capacitors designated CTC and CRC
in figure 12, connected between TIPX
and ground as well as between RINGX
and ground, can be used for RFI filtering.
The recommended value for CTC and
CRC is 2200 pF. Higher capacitance
values may be used, but care must be
taken to prevent degradation of either
longitudinal balance or return loss. CTC
and CRC contribute to a metallic imped-
ance of 1/(π·f·CTC) = 1/(π·f·CRC), a TIPX to

AC - DC Separation Capacitor, CHP
The high pass filter capacitor connected
between terminals HP and TIPX provides
the separation of the ac signal from the
dc part. CHP positions the low end
frequency response break point of the ac
loop in the SLIC. Refer to table 1 for a
recommended value of CHP.
Example: A CHP value of 47 nF will
position the low end frequency response
3dB break point of the ac loop at 5.6 Hz
(f3dB) according to f3dB = 1/(2 π RHP CHP)
where RHP = 600k Ω.
