Product details
Overview
HC55185CIMZ from Intersil is a VoIP ringing subscriber line interface circuit (RSLIC) designed for analog POTS line interface in short-to-medium loop applications. It delivers 100V high-voltage ringing capability, supports balanced/unbalanced ringing waveforms, achieves ≤13 dBrnC idle channel noise in forward active mode, and operates across -40°C to +85°C with 28-lead PLCC packaging. It serves as the core line driver in VoIP terminal adapters and remote subscriber units.
For engineers reviewing the HC55185CIMZ datasheet, HC55185CIMZ pinout, HC55185CIMZ application, or HC55185CIMZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed longitudinal balance (53 dB), low standby power (85 mW at VBH = -100 V), and real-world substitution guidance for RSLIC-based telephony designs.
Technical Context
The HC55185CIMZ implements a dielectric-isolated bipolar process with integrated high-voltage battery switch (VBH/VBL), programmable transient current limit (via TL pin), and dual-mode ringing control (F2–F0 logic). Its differential ringing gain is 80 V/V (typ.) for balanced operation, and it maintains MTU-compliant open-circuit voltage (43–51.5 VDC) during low-power standby.
It features on-chip ring trip detection (2.5 V threshold), ground key sensing (12 mA fixed), and silent polarity reversal-enabling reliable off-hook detection and hook-state supervision without audible artifacts. The device uses external RS (66.5 kΩ) and CFB (4.7 µF) for impedance matching and transhybrid performance optimization per IEEE455-1985.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ringing Voltage | Up to 67 VRMS open-circuit (balanced), enabling 5,000-ft loop extension at 100 V supply. |
| Longitudinal Balance | 53 dB (min) in forward active mode-meets GR-905 requirements for echo suppression in voice band. |
| Idle Channel Noise | 10–13 dBrnC (2-wire, forward active)-reduced vs prior HC5518x generation for improved voice clarity. |
| Low Power Standby Dissipation | 85 mW at VBH = -100 V-enables energy-efficient idle-line operation in always-on VoIP gateways. |
| Transient Current Limit | Programmable 40–100 mA source/sink via TL pin resistor-prevents false ring-trip during surge events. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C industrial grade-supports deployment in uncontrolled environments like street cabinets. |
| Package | 28-lead PLCC (N28.45), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant-compatible with standard reflow and legacy board layouts. |
Pinout & Package
HC55185CIMZ is housed in a 28-lead plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MO-220 variant N28.45, with exposed die pad not present (unlike QFN variants). Pin numbering follows top-view orientation with pin 1 at bottom-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TIP / RING | 2-wire line interface terminals | High-voltage analog outputs driving telephone line; support ±100 V swing and silent polarity reversal. |
| VBH / VBL | High/low battery supply inputs | VBH accepts up to -100 V (HC55185CIMZ grade); VBL supplies -16 V to -52 V; internal switch selects active rail. |
| VRS | Ringing signal input | Differential AC input (0.840 VRMS nominal) controlling ringing amplitude and waveform shape. |
| TL | Transient current limit programming | Connects to ground via resistor (e.g., 35.6 kΩ for 50 mA limit) to set peak source/sink current threshold. |
| F2/F1/F0 | Mode selection logic inputs | 3-bit binary code (e.g., 100 = ringing mode) controlling functional state-no pull-up/pull-down required. |
| DET / ALM | Supervisory logic outputs | Open-drain DET signals ring trip/switch hook; ALM asserts at junction temp ≥175°C for thermal shutdown warning. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Onboard Ringing Generation | Integrated trapezoidal/sinusoidal waveform synthesis eliminates external oscillator and reduces BOM count by ≥3 components. |
| Programmable Transient Current Limit | Independent 40–100 mA source/sink limit prevents false ring-trip during lightning-induced surges per GR-1089-CORE. |
| Reduced Idle Channel Noise | 10–13 dBrnC (2-wire) enables >40 dB SNR in voice-band transmission-critical for VoIP codec fidelity. |
| Silent Polarity Reversal | Zero-audible-artifact polarity flip during hook-state transitions-eliminates "click" noise in terminal adapters and modems. |
| Tip Open Ground Start Operation | Supports legacy PBX signaling via controlled tip-open sequence-enables interoperability with electromechanical switching systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ringing SLIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HC55185AIMZ | Same 28-lead PLCC package and -40°C to +85°C rating, but rated for 100 V VBH and 58 dB longitudinal balance (vs 53 dB). | Preferred where higher echo rejection (>58 dB) is required in long-loop or high-interference environments. | Select HC55185AIMZ if longitudinal balance >58 dB is mandated; otherwise HC55185CIMZ offers optimal cost/performance for mid-range loops. |
| HC55185DIMZ | Identical package and temperature range, but rated for -85 V VBH (vs -100 V) and same 53 dB longitudinal balance. | Suitable for lower-voltage systems where 85 V ringing suffices and thermal margin is less constrained. | Choose HC55185DIMZ when VBH ≤ -85 V simplifies power supply design; HC55185CIMZ retains full 100 V headroom for worst-case loop conditions. |
Compared with HC55185AIMZ and HC55185DIMZ, the HC55185CIMZ uniquely balances 100 V ringing capability with 53 dB longitudinal balance and industrial temperature range-making it the default choice for cost-sensitive, medium-loop VoIP deployments requiring guaranteed MTU compliance and low standby power.

FAQ
What is the maximum ringing voltage supported by HC55185CIMZ?
The HC55185CIMZ supports up to 67 VRMS open-circuit balanced ringing voltage when driven by a 100 V high-battery supply (VBH). This enables loop lengths beyond 5,000 feet in POTS applications. The device's absolute maximum VBH rating is -100 V, and its differential ringing gain is specified at 80 V/V (typical), directly translating to high-voltage output capability without external amplification.
Does HC55185CIMZ support both balanced and unbalanced ringing modes?
Yes, HC55185CIMZ supports both balanced and unbalanced ringing. In balanced mode (F2–F0 = 100), it delivers 67 VRMS open-circuit voltage with 80 V/V differential gain. In unbalanced mode (F2–F0 = 010), it provides 33.5 VRMS with 40 V/V gain, with Tip referenced to 0 V and Ring centered at VBH/2 + 0.5 V. Both modes are selectable via digital control pins and require no hardware changes.
How is the transient current limit programmed on HC55185CIMZ?
The transient current limit on HC55185CIMZ is programmed externally via a resistor connected from pin TL to ground. For example, a 35.6 kΩ resistor sets a 50 mA source limit; the sink limit is automatically offset 20% higher (60 mA). This function operates independently of the DC loop current limit and prevents false ring-trip during surge events-critical for GR-1089-CORE compliance.
What is the longitudinal balance specification for HC55185CIMZ?
The HC55185CIMZ guarantees a minimum longitudinal balance of 53 dB in forward active mode, tested per IEEE455-1985 with 368 Ω per tip/ring terminal. This value applies to grades C, D, and E (including HC55185CIMZ) and ensures adequate echo suppression for voice-band transmission in VoIP and DSL applications-meeting GR-905 Class B requirements.
Is HC55185CIMZ compatible with existing HC55180–HC55184 designs?
Yes, HC55185CIMZ is functionally compatible with HC55180–HC55184 designs. Application circuit modifications are minimal: RS changes from 210 kΩ to 66.5 kΩ, CFB from 0.47 µF to 4.7 µF, and a new TL-to-ground resistor is added for transient current limiting. The pinout and control logic remain identical, enabling drop-in replacement in most legacy layouts.
