Product details
Overview
LE79Q2284MVC from Zarlink Semiconductor (acquired by Microsemi, now part of Microchip) is a quad-channel intelligent subscriber line audio-processing circuit (ISLAC™) designed for BORSCHT implementation in voice-over-x line cards. It provides full programmable A-law/µ-law/linear codec/filter, DC loop feeding, transhybrid balance, ring-trip detection, and tone generation (DTMF/FSK/metering) across four channels, operating at +3.3 V with 80-pin LQFP packaging.
For engineers reviewing the LE79Q2284MVC datasheet, LE79Q2284MVC pinout, LE79Q2284MVC application, or LE79Q2284MVC equivalent, this device serves as the DSP and control core in dual-chip ISLAC+ISLIC voice interface solutions for VoIP IADs, cable telephony NIUs, FTTH gateways, and intelligent PBX systems requiring software-configurable line supervision and diagnostics.
Technical Context
The LE79Q2284MVC integrates a high-performance digital signal processor with four independent analog front-ends to manage all voice channel functions-codec, filtering, gain control, impedance matching, and hybrid balancing-via microprocessor or GCI/PCM interfaces. It supports selectable PCM/MPI or GCI digital backplanes with master clock flexibility from 512 kHz to 8.192 MHz.
It interfaces exclusively with VE790-series ISLIC devices via tri-level LD1–LD4 control signals and analog sense inputs (VILG/VIMT/VSAB/VHL), enabling full software-defined BORSCHT operation-including programmable off-hook debounce, ground-key detection, adaptive transhybrid balance, and integrated line testing per GR-909/GR-844 standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-channel voice line interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZL38004 | Single-chip VoIP processor with integrated ARM core; lacks native ISLIC interface and analog sense inputs | Targets standalone VoIP endpoints; not compatible with VE790-series ISLIC co-design | Choose ZL38004 only for self-contained SIP phone designs requiring embedded firmware-not for carrier-grade line cards needing external SLIC control. |
| SLIC450 | Quad analog-front-end-only device; no DSP, no codec, no BORSCHT logic-requires external controller | Used in custom ASIC-based line cards where DSP is implemented elsewhere | SLIC450 requires full external microcontroller and firmware stack; LE79Q2284MVC includes integrated DSP and WinSLAC™-compatible configuration tools. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LE79Q2284MVC in a voice line card?
The LE79Q2284MVC serves as the digital signal processor and control core in a dual-chip voice interface solution, performing all BORSCHT functions-including codec, filtering, DC feed control, ringing generation, loop supervision, and line diagnostics-for four subscriber lines. It operates exclusively with VE790-series ISLIC devices to form a complete, software-programmable line card.
Does the LE79Q2284MVC support both PCM and GCI digital interfaces?
Yes, the LE79Q2284MVC supports selectable PCM/MPI or GCI digital backplane interfaces. PCM mode uses FS/DCL and PCLK/FS for frame sync and clocking, while GCI mode uses DCL and FS signals at 2/4 MHz and 8 kHz respectively. Interface selection is determined by signal presence and configuration register settings-not pin strapping.
How does the LE79Q2284MVC handle ring-trip detection?
The LE79Q2284MVC implements integrated ring-trip detection using analog inputs from the VE790 ISLIC device (via VILG/VIMT/VSAB). It supports both automatic and manual ring-trip modes, with programmable thresholds and filtering. Detection status is reported via interrupt (INT pin) and accessible through dedicated signaling registers for host processor polling.
Can the LE79Q2284MVC operate with different international ringing standards?
Yes, the LE79Q2284MVC enables full software configuration of ringing waveform, frequency, amplitude, and cadence to meet regional requirements-including North American (20 Hz), European (25 Hz), and Japanese (16.7 Hz) standards-when paired with VE790-series ISLICs capable of generating balanced ringing voltages.
What tools are available to configure the LE79Q2284MVC for specific line parameters?
Zarlink provided WinSLAC™ PC software free of charge to calculate filter coefficients, DC-feed parameters, supervision thresholds, and equalization settings based on system requirements. Users input target specifications (e.g., loop length, battery voltage, impedance), and WinSLAC generates register values and predicts performance metrics like echo return loss and distortion.
