Power Down Mode Behavior
9 Power Down Mode Behavior
Please note that the short-circuited output in power-down mode is referenced to (-VCC). No problems
appear when used in differential mode. Nevertheless, when used in single-ended mode on a load
referenced to GND, the (-VCC) level contributes to a current consumption through the load.

As shown in Figure 66, the interest of having an output short-circuit in power-down mode is to keep the
best impedance matching between the system and the twisted pair telephone line when the modem is in
sleep mode. By doing this, the modem can be woken up with a signal from the line without any damage
