The RING Open state provides similar operation with
the RING drivers off and TIP active.
The ringing state drives programmable ringing
waveforms onto the line.
The ProSLIC linefeed has eight states of operation as
shown in Table 20. The state of operation is controlled
using the Linefeed Control register (direct Register 64).
The open state turns off all currents into the external
bipolar transistors and can be used in the presence of
fault conditions on the line and to generate Open Switch
Intervals (OSIs). TIP and RING are effectively tri-stated
with a dc output impedance of about 150 kΩ. The
ProSLIC can also automatically enter the open state if it
detects excessive power being consumed in the
external bipolar transistors. See "2.1.5. Power
Monitoring and Line Fault Detection" on page 20 for
more details.
2.1.4. Loop Voltage and Current Monitoring
The ProSLIC continuously monitors the TIP and RING
voltages and external BJT currents. These values are
available in registers 78–89. Table 21 on page 20 lists
the values that are measured and their associated
registers. An internal A/D converter samples the
measured voltages and currents from the analog sense
circuitry and translates them into the digital domain. The
A/D updates the samples at an 800 Hz rate. Two
derived values are also reported—loop voltage and loop
current. The loop voltage, VTIP – VRING, is reported as a
1-bit sign, 6-bit magnitude format. For ground start
operation the reported value is the RING voltage. The
