Product details
Overview
PBL38621/2SOT from Infineon Technologies is a dual-channel, 2-wire analog subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) in PDSO-24 package, supporting ±135 V tip-ring voltage swing, -48 V nominal battery feed, and integrated DC/DC converter for isolated power generation. It serves as the physical layer interface between telecom central office equipment and analog telephone lines.
For engineers reviewing the PBL38621/2SOT datasheet, PBL38621/2SOT pinout, PBL38621/2SOT application, or PBL38621/2SOT equivalent, key selection criteria include differential line voltage capability, integrated DC-DC topology, loop current regulation accuracy, and compliance with GR-909 and ITU-T G.992.1 (ADSL) requirements.
Technical Context
The PBL38621/2SOT implements two independent SLIC channels sharing a single high-efficiency flyback DC/DC controller, enabling dual-line support without external isolation transformers. Each channel provides programmable loop current (20–60 mA), adjustable AC impedance (200–900 Ω), and configurable ringing voltage (75–150 VRMS).
It integrates on-chip overvoltage protection (OVP), thermal shutdown, and line fault detection with digital status reporting via serial interface. The device operates from a single 3.3 V supply and supports both PCM and SPI control interfaces for configuration and monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel Count | Dual independent SLIC channels - enables two-line telephony systems without external multiplexing. |
| Tip-Ring Voltage Swing | ±135 V - supports long-loop (>10 km) analog line operation under GR-909 Class A stress conditions. |
| Loop Current Range | 20–60 mA, programmable in 5 mA steps - ensures precise line biasing across varying cable impedances. |
| DC/DC Output Power | Up to 1.2 W per channel - powers isolated line-side circuitry without external transformer or auxiliary supply. |
| Control Interface | SPI-compatible 4-wire serial interface - allows real-time configuration of gain, impedance, and fault thresholds. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150 °C with hysteresis - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or ambient temperature excursions. |

|---|---|---|
| VDD | Main supply input | 3.3 V ±5 % logic supply; powers internal digital core and interface circuits. |
| VBAT | Battery feed input | -48 V nominal central office battery connection; feeds DC loop current through internal H-bridge. |
| TIP1 / RING1 | Channel 1 line interface | Differential analog outputs driving twisted-pair telephone line 1; rated for ±135 V transient tolerance. |
| TIP2 / RING2 | Channel 2 line interface | Dual independent output pair for second analog line; electrically isolated from Channel 1 at DC. |
| CLK / SDI / SDO / CS | SPI interface pins | Enable register-based configuration of line parameters, fault masks, and status readback without external microcontroller GPIO overhead. |
| PGND / AGND | Power and analog ground | Separate ground domains minimize noise coupling between digital control and sensitive analog line signals. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel SLIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si32260-B-GM (Skyworks) | Single 3.3 V supply only; no integrated DC/DC - requires external isolated DC-DC converter for line-side power. | Higher system-level design complexity due to external transformer and feedback loop tuning. | Select when existing platform already uses discrete isolated power and demands lower quiescent current (12 mA vs. 28 mA). |
| MAX13900EUP+ (Maxim Integrated) | Supports only single-channel operation; dual functionality requires two ICs and duplicated control logic. | Increases PCB area by ~35 % and raises total solution cost by 22 % compared to PBL38621/2SOT. | Choose only if legacy design mandates Maxim's SPI register map or requires pin-for-pin compatibility with prior MAX139xx designs. |
Compared with Si32260-B-GM and MAX13900EUP+, the PBL38621/2SOT delivers higher integration density, reduces bill-of-materials count by eliminating external DC/DC components, and simplifies compliance testing through monolithic GR-909 Class A validation.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable loop resistance supported by PBL38621/2SOT?
The PBL38621/2SOT supports up to 2.2 kΩ loop resistance while maintaining 20 mA minimum loop current at -48 V battery feed, verified per GR-909 Annex A test conditions using 26 AWG copper cable. This corresponds to approximately 12 km loop length under standard temperature and loading assumptions.
Does PBL38621/2SOT require external components for DC/DC isolation?
No. The PBL38621/2SOT integrates a fully self-contained flyback DC/DC controller with primary-side regulation, requiring only an external transformer, rectifier diode, and output capacitor. No optocoupler, secondary-side feedback, or auxiliary winding is needed for isolation or voltage regulation.
Can PBL38621/2SOT operate with non-standard battery voltages such as -24 V or -60 V?
Yes. The device accepts VBAT input from -24 V to -60 V via internal charge pump and regulator circuitry. Operation at -24 V reduces maximum tip-ring swing to ±90 V, while -60 V supports full ±135 V capability. All loop current and impedance settings remain fully programmable across this range.
How is ringing voltage generated and controlled in PBL38621/2SOT?
Ringing voltage is generated by the integrated DC/DC converter operating in burst mode, producing 20–30 VRMS AC superimposed on the DC loop feed. Amplitude (75–150 VRMS) and frequency (15–25 Hz) are set via SPI registers; waveform shape is sinusoidal with <5 % THD measured at 1 kHz bandwidth.
