PBL 386 40/2
The current limit (reference C in figure
13) is adjusted by connecting a resistor,
RLC, between terminal PLC and ground
according to the equation:
receive output via the resistor RRX, is dc
biased with +1.25V. This makes it
possible to compensate for currents
floating due to dc voltage differences
between RSN and the CODEC output
without using any capacitors. This is
done by connecting a resistor RR be-
tween the RSN terminal and ground.
With current directions defined as in
figure 14, current summation gives:
Battery Feed
The PBL 386 40/2 SLIC emulate resistive
loop Feed, programmable between
2·50Ω and 2·900 Ω, with adjustable
current limitation. In the current limited
region the loop current has a slight slope
corresponding to 2·30 kΩ, see figure 13
reference B.
The open loop voltage measured
between the TIPX and RINGX terminals
is tracking the battery voltage VBat. The

proaching open loop conditions. To
ensure maximum open loop voltage,
even with a leaking telephone line, this
occurs at a line current of approximately
6 mA. When the overhead voltage has
changed, the line voltage is kept nearly
constant with a steep slope correspon-
ding to 2·25 Ω(reference G in figure 13).
The virtual battery overhead, VOHVirt, is
defined as the difference between the
battery voltage and the crossing point of
all possible resistive Feeding slopes, see
figure 13 reference J. The virtual battery
overhead is a theoretical constant
needed to be able to calculate the
Feeding characteristics.
For values on IRSN, see table 3.
The resistor RR has no influence on the
ac transmission.

CODEC Receive Interface
Programmable overhead voltage(POV)
The PBL 386 40/2 SLIC have got a
completely new receive interface at the
four wire side which makes it possible to
reduce the number of capacitors in the
