We are transitioning to Microchip; this page will be directed to Le88221 product page at www.microchip.com.
The Le88221 Tracking Battery ABS (Automatic Battery Switching) VoicePort device implements a dual-channel telephone line interface by providing all the necessary voice interface functions from the high voltage subscriber line to the µP/DSP digital interface. The ABS device can operate from external battery supplies, or from supplies generated by the on chip switching regulator controllers. This device reduces system level cost, space, and power by achieving the highest level of voice integration possible. Designers benefit by having a simple, cost effective, low power and dense, interface design without sacrificing features or functionality. The programmable, feature rich VoicePort devices provide a highly functional line interface which meets the requirements of short and medium loop (up to 1500 Ohms total at 1 REN) applications. Features include: high voltage switching regulator, integrated ringing (up to 110-Vpk), worldwide software programmability, flexible signal generator with tone cadencing, caller ID generation and all BORSCHT functions. These VoicePort device features are crucial for designing cost-effective, full-featured Voice over Broadband solutions. |
