Inverting Amplifier (A1)
The pulse metering signal is injected in the -IN1 pin of the
SLIC. This pin is the inverting input of the internal amplifier
(A
1
) that is used to invert the pulse metering signal for later
cancellation. The components required for pulse metering
are C
6
and R
5
, are shown in Figure 11. The pulse metering
signal is AC coupled to prevent a DC offset on the input of
the internal amplifier. The value of C
6
should be 10
μ
F. The
expression for the voltage at OUT1 is given in Equation 38.
The first term is the gain of the feedback voltage from the
2-wire side and the second term is the gain of the injected
pulse metering signal. The effects of C
6
and C
8
are
negligible and therefore omitted from the analysis.
The injected pulse metering output term of Equation 38 is
shown below in Equation 39 and rearranged to solve for R
5
in Equation 40.

R

The ratio of R
8
to R
5
is set equal to one and results in unity
gain of the pulse metering signal from 4-wire side to 2-wire
side. The value of R
8
is considered to be a constant since it
is selected based on impedance matching requirements.
Cancellation of the Pulse Metering Signal
The transhybrid cancellation technique that is used for the
voice signal is also implemented for pulse metering. The
technique is to drive the transhybrid amplifier with the signal
that is injected on the 4-wire side, then adjust its level to
match the amplitude of the feedback signal, and cancel the
signals at the summing node of an amplifier.
NOTE: The CA741C operational amplifier is used in the application
as a “stand in” for the operational amplifier that is traditionally located
in the CODEC, where transhybrid cancellation is performed.
Referring to Figure 3, V
TX
is the 2-wire feedback used to
drive the internal amplifier (A1) which in turn drives the
OUT1 pin of the SLIC. The voltage measured at V
TX
is
related to the loop impedance as follows:
For a 600
termination and a pulse metering gain (G
PM
) of
1, the feedback voltage (V
TX
) is equal to one third the
injected pulse metering signal of the 4-wire side. Note,
depending upon the line impedance characteristics and the
degree of impedance matching, the pulse metering gain may
differ from the voice gain. The pulse metering gain (G
PM
)
must be accounted for in the transhybrid balance circuit.
The polarity of the signal at OUT1 (Equation 38) is opposite
of V
PM
allowing the circuit of Figure 12 to perform the final
stage of transhybrid cancellation.
The following equations do not require much discussion.
They are based on inverting amplifier design theory. The
voice path V
RX
signal has been omitted for clarity. All refer-
ence designators refer to components of Figures 11 and 12.
The first term refers to the signal at OUT1 and the second
term refers to the 4-wire side pulse metering signal. Since
ideal transhybrid cancellation implies V
TXO
equals zero
when a signal is injected on the 4-wire side, V
TXO
is set to
zero and the resulting equation is shown below.
Rearranging terms of Equation 43 and solving for R
4
results
in Equation 44. This is the only value to be calculated for the
transhybrid cancellation. All other values either exist in the
application circuit or have been calculated in previous
sections of this data sheet.
The value of R
4
(Figure 12) is 12.37k
given the following
set of values:
R
8
= 40k
R
9
= 40k
R
L
= 600
R
3
= 8.25k
R
5
= 40k
G
PM
= 1
Substituting the same values into Equation 41 and Equation 42,
it can be shown that the signal at OUT
1
is equal to -2/3V
PM
.
This result, along with Equation 44 where R
3
equals to 2/3R4,
indicates the signal levels into the transhybrid amplifier are
equalized by the amplifier gains and opposite in polarity,
thereby achieving transhybrid balance at V
TXO
.
