A no-trimming SLIC two-chip set with coin telephone signaling facilities

Abstract

A subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) two-chip set that eliminates off-chip functional trimming and integrates coin telephone set facilities as well as BORSCHT functions is described. The LSI chip set consists of (a) a subscriber interface IC fabricated using a 320-V dielectrically isolated bipolar process with on-chip thin-film resistors and double-layer metal, and (b) a subscriber processor IC with oversampling A-D/D-A converters and a microprogrammable digital signal processor (DSP), using a 1.6- mu m CMOS process. Chip sizes are 5.5 mm*6.06 mm and 6.0 mm*5.7 mm, respectively. Using the two-chip set, an SLIC for a coin telephone set can be designed without using high-precision filter components or hybrid ICs with functional trimming. >
