Product details
Overview
LE9502BTC from Zarlink Semiconductor is a dual-channel Ringing Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (RSLIC) implementing full BORSCHT functions for two telephone lines. It delivers 70 Vpk ringing into 5 REN, supports programmable DC feed up to 45 mA, operates from +3.3 V and +8–40 V supplies, and integrates dual buck-boost switching regulators with line-voltage tracking for power efficiency in VoIP/DSL gateways.
For engineers reviewing the LE9502BTC datasheet, LE9502BTC pinout, LE9502BTC application, or LE9502BTC equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed dual-channel SLIC architecture, exact 44-pin eTQFP package mapping, validated ringing and DC feed specifications, and real-world timing and interface constraints for voice-over-broadband line card design.
Technical Context
The LE9502BTC implements dielectrically isolated complementary bipolar technology to deliver BORSCHT functionality across two independent channels. Each channel features programmable states (Active, Reverse Polarity, Ringing, Standby, Disconnect), resistor-programmable DC feed limit (0–45 mA), and binary fault detection via dedicated F1/F2 pins.
Its dual switching power supply uses discontinuous-mode buck-boost topology with external clock control (nominal 85 kHz), VRAMP-based ramp generation, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting via ILS1/ILS2 pins referenced to VSW. Ringing is generated differentially at VRINGP/VRINGM with gain KR, supporting sinusoidal or trapezoidal waveforms under codec control.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LE9502BTC is housed in a 44-pin enhanced Thin Quad Flat Package (eTQFP) with exposed thermal pad. The RoHS-compliant green package supports automated assembly and thermal dissipation in multi-port line cards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RSLIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LE9501BTC | Single-channel RSLIC; identical architecture and pinout per channel but lacks second channel integration | Requires two devices for dual-line systems; increases board area and power supply complexity | Select when only one line is needed or when channel isolation mandates separate ICs |
| LE77D11 | VoSLIC™ device; integrates SLIC + codec in single package; no external codec required | Eliminates external codec interface but fixes voice processing path; less flexible for custom DSP implementations | Select when system-level integration and reduced component count outweigh need for independent codec selection |
Compared with LE9501BTC and LE77D11, the LE9502BTC uniquely delivers dual-channel RSLIC functionality with independent programmability and external codec flexibility-enabling higher port density in space-constrained VoIP gateways without sacrificing signal chain control.

FAQ
What is the maximum ringing voltage the LE9502BTC can deliver?
The LE9502BTC delivers 70 Vpk into a 5 REN load with nominal +12 V VSW supply. It is capable of 90 Vpk under optimized conditions using an external high-voltage PNP transistor (e.g., Zetex FZT955) in the switching regulator circuit, as documented in the application note for the LE9502BTC.
Does the LE9502BTC require an external codec to operate?
Yes, the LE9502BTC requires an external codec device for voice signal conversion and control. It interfaces via differential analog signals (VINP/VINM, VOUT) and digital control lines (C1/C2/CHS). Unlike integrated VoSLIC™ solutions such as the LE77D11, the LE9502BTC does not embed codec functionality.
How is DC feed current programmed on the LE9502BTC?
DC feed current limit on the LE9502BTC is programmed via an external resistor (RDC) connected between the RDC pin and AGND. The threshold ILTH is calculated as ILTH = 1.4 V / RDC, supporting a range from 0 to 30 mA. This sets the constant-current region of the DC feed curve, with short-circuit current ISC = ILTH + 17.0 mA.
What package type and RoHS status does the LE9502BTC have?
The LE9502BTC is supplied in a 44-pin eTQFP package with exposed thermal pad and meets RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC. The "green package" designation confirms lead-free terminations and compliant molding compound, verified in the official ordering information section of the LE9502BTC datasheet.
Can the LE9502BTC operate from a single power supply?
No, the LE9502BTC requires two distinct supplies: a +3.3 V rail for logic and analog reference circuits, and a separate positive VSW rail ranging from +8 V to +40 V for the switching regulators and power amplifiers. The dual-supply architecture is fundamental to its line-voltage-tracking power efficiency and cannot be bypassed.
