12 APPLICATION INFORMATION

Application of the PCD3360 in a telephone ringer circuit

together with a loudspeaker is shown in Fig.8.

discriminator circuit are determined by:

• The pull-down current of input FDI (20 µA typically for

FDI < 3.4 V)

• The value of R2 (680 kΩ in Fig.8).

For a positive slope the voltage at R2 must exceed the

the input threshold and the voltage drop across R2 thus:

For a negative slope, the voltage at R2 must decrease

Because the current into FDI is negligible with FDI = HIGH

the voltage drop across R2 can be discounted, thus

The minimum operating voltage across C3 is 17.8 V which

is determined by:

• The minimum operating voltage of the PCD3360 (5.8 V)

• The supply current of the PCD3360 (120 µA max.)

• The value of R3 (100 kΩ in Fig.8).

The total switch-on delay equals approximately the time

required to charge the supply capacitor C3 to the minimum

operating value, plus the specified switch-on delay of the

PCD3360.

The high operating voltage combined with the class D

output stage ensures the optimal energy conversion and

thereby a high sound level. The design can easily be

optimized for parallel or series connection of more than

one ringer. The diode bridge, zener diode (D1) and resistor

R1 protect the ringer against transients up to 5 kV. During

these surges the voltage on the 68 V zener diode

(BZW03-C68) can rise to 100 V; the DMOS transistor

BST72A (TR1) has a maximum drain-source voltage of

100 V. Up to 220 V, 50 Hz can be applied to the a/b

terminals without damaging the ringer.

The choke (L1) in series with the 50

Ω loudspeaker

increases the sound pressure level by approximately 3 dB

by suppression of the 32 kHz carrier frequency and its

sidebands. The flyback diode BAX18A (D2) is a fast type

with low forward voltage to obtain high efficiency.

Application of the PCD3360 together with a PXE

transducer is shown in Fig.9. The only significant

difference between Fig.8 and Fig.9 is the output stage.

Two BST72A transistors provide an output voltage swing

almost equal to the voltage at C3. Pins IS1 and IS2 are

inoperative because DM = HIGH. Volume control is
