Supply circuit with power-down for
telephone set peripherals
TEA1081
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TEA1081 is a supply interface between telephone line
and peripheral devices in the telephone set. The high input
impedance of the circuit allows direct connection to the
telephone line (via a diode bridge). An inductor function is
obtained by amplifier A1, resistor R
S
(see Fig.1) and an
external low-pass RC filter.
Under the control of amplifier A2, transistor TR1 supplies
peripheral devices and transistor TR2 minimizes line
signal distortion by momentarily diverting input current to
ground whenever the instantaneous value of the line
voltage drops below the output voltage.
Internal circuits are biased by a temperature and line
voltage compensated reference current source.
The power-down circuit isolates the supply circuit from
external circuitry.
Line terminals: LN and VN (pins 1 and 2)
The input terminals LN and VN can be connected directly
to the line. The minimum DC line voltage required at the
input is expressed by formula (1); see also Table 1.

Supply terminals: QS and VA (pins 7 and 6)
Peripheral devices are supplied from QS (pin 7). Two
modes of output voltage regulation are available.

The TEA1081 operates in this mode when there is no
external resistor (R
