Loopback Tests

4-Wire Loopback Test

This feature can be very useful in the testing of line cards

during the manufacturing process and in field use. The test

is unobtrusive, allowing it to be used in live systems.

Reference Figure 22.

Most systems do not provide 4-wire loopback test capability

because of costly relays needed to switch in external loads.

All the SLICs in the UniSLIC14 family can easily provide

this function when configured in the Open Circuit logic

state. With the PTG pin floating, the signal on the VTX

output is 180° out of phase and approximately 2 times the

VRX input signal. If the PTG pin is grounded, then the

amplitude will be approximately the same as the input

signal and 180° out of phase.

2-Wire Loopback Test

Most of the SLICs in the UniSLIC14 family feature 2-Wire

loopback testing. This loopback function is only activated

when the subscriber is on hook and the logic command to

the SLIC is in the Test Active State. (Note: if the subscriber is

off hook and in the Test Active State, the function performed

is the Line Voltage Measurement.)

During the 2-wire loopback test, a 2k

 internal resistor is

switched across the tip and ring terminals of the SLIC. This

allows the SHD function and the 4-wire to 4-wire AC

transmission, right up to the subscriber loop, to be tested.

Together with the 4-wire loopback test in the Open Circuit

logic state, this 2-wire loopback test allows the complete

network (including SLIC) to be tested up to the subscriber

loop.

Pulse Metering

The HC55121, HC55142, HC35143, and HC55150 are

designed to support pulse metering. They offer solutions to

the following pulse metering design issues:

1) Providing adequate signal gain and current drive to the

subscriber metering equipment to overcome the attenuation

of this (12kHz, 16kHz) out of band signal.

2) Attenuating the pulse metering transhybrid signal without

severely attenuating the voice band signal to avoid clipping

in the CODEC/Filter.

3) Tailoring the overload levels in the SLIC to avoid clipping

of the combined voiceband and pulse metering signal.

4) Having the provision of silent polarity reversal as a backup

in the case where the loop attenuates the out of band signal

too much for it to be detected by the subscriber’s metering

equipment.

Adequate Signal Gain

Adequate signal gain and current drive to the subscriber’s

metering equipment is made easier by the network shown in

Figure 23. The pulse metering signal is supplied to a

dedicated high impedance input pin called SPM. The circuit

in Figure 23 shows the connection of a network that sets the

2-wire impedance (ZTR), at the pulse metering frequencies,

to be approximately 200

. If the line impedance (ZL) is equal

to 200

 at the pulse metering frequencies, then the 4-Wire

to 2-wire gain (VTR/SPM) is equal 4. Thereby lowering the

input signal requirements of the pulse metering signal.

Note: The automatic pulse metering 2-wire impedance

matching is independent of the programmed 2-wire

impedance matching at voiceband frequencies.

Calculation of the pulse metering gain is achieved by

replacing VRX/500k in Equation 15 with SPM/125k and

following the same process through to Equation 21. The

UniSLIC14 sets the 2-wire input impedance of the SLIC

(ZTR), including the protection resistors, equal to 200. The

results are shown in Equation 41.

Avoiding Clipping in the CODEC/Filter

The amplitude of the returning pulse metering signal is often

very large and could easily over drive the input to the

CODEC/Filter. By using the same method discussed in

section “Transhybrid Balance”, most if not all of the pulse

metering signal can be canceled out before it reaches the

input to the CODEC/Filter. This connection is shown in

Figure 23.
