Product details
Overview
PBL38630/2QNT from Infineon Technologies is a FlexiSLIC Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) designed for central office line cards and digital loop carriers. It provides bidirectional two-wire interface to telephone lines, supports -48 V battery feed, delivers 43 V open-loop voltage, enables selectable transmit gain (1× or 0.5×), and integrates analog overtemperature protection with ring relay driver functionality - deployed in telecom infrastructure requiring stable on-hook transmission and longitudinal balance >60 dB.
For engineers reviewing the PBL38630/2QNT datasheet, PBL38630/2QNT pinout, PBL38630/2QNT application, or PBL38630/2QNT equivalent, key selection criteria include programmable overhead voltage (POV), loop current regulation tolerance, thermal guard behavior during active transmission, and compatibility with SICOFI®4 codec interfaces in CO/DLC systems.
Technical Context
The PBL38630/2QNT implements a fully integrated SLIC architecture with dual-mode battery feed (high/low Vbat switching), programmable signal headroom control via POV, and hybrid circuitry enabling two-wire/four-wire conversion. Its analog temperature guard remains functional during transmission without disabling signal path.
It operates across -40 °C to +85 °C ambient, supports no power-up sequence requirement, and maintains constant loop voltage for line leakage <5 mA (RLeak >10 kΩ at -48 V). The device uses internal bias current for RSN terminal and features integrated ring relay driver with TTL-compatible control inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +85 °C ambient - ensures reliability in uncontrolled central office environments |
| Open-Loop Voltage | 43 V @ -48 V battery feed - sustains voice-grade loop closure over long copper pairs |
| Transmit Gain | Selectable 1× or 0.5× - adjusts signal level for hybrid loss compensation in different line impedances |
| Longitudinal Balance | >60 dB - suppresses common-mode noise coupling into four-wire receive path |
| On-Hook Power Dissipation | 65 mW in active state - minimizes thermal load during standby without compromising monitoring functions |
| Loop Current Regulation | Close tolerance feeding - maintains stable DC loop current despite line resistance variation |
| POV Range | Programmable overhead voltage - sets headroom margin for analog signal swing under varying battery conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SLIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LE89316B | Higher on-hook power dissipation (120 mW); requires external ring driver; no analog thermal guard | Lacks integrated ring relay and thermal guard during transmission - needs additional protection circuitry | Preferred where higher loop current stability is prioritized over integration density |
| SLIC2802 | SSOP-24 package only; fixed 1× transmit gain; no POV programming; lower open-loop voltage (38 V) | Not suitable for long-loop (>8 km) or variable-battery environments requiring headroom tuning | Selected when cost-sensitive designs accept reduced flexibility and reach |
Compared with LE89316B and SLIC2802, the PBL38630/2QNT offers superior integration (ring driver + thermal guard), programmable headroom, and extended loop reach - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding CO/DLC deployments where design-in longevity matters.

FAQ
What is the function of the RSN pin on PBL38630/2QNT?
The RSN pin provides internal bias current for loop current sensing and regulation. It connects to an external sense resistor to close the feedback loop for precise DC loop current control, enabling stable feeding across varying line resistances up to 2.5 kΩ while maintaining constant voltage under leakage conditions.
Does PBL38630/2QNT require an external ring relay driver?
No. The PBL38630/2QNT integrates a dedicated ring relay driver on-chip (RR pin), capable of directly driving standard electromechanical ring relays without external transistors or biasing components - reducing BOM count and layout complexity in line card designs.
How does the analog overtemperature protection behave during transmission?
The analog overtemperature protection remains active during transmission and limits junction temperature by throttling power without interrupting the signal path. Unlike digital thermal shutdown, it permits continuous voice or test signal flow while preventing thermal runaway - critical for uninterrupted line monitoring.
What package variant does PBL38630/2QNT use, and why is it significant?
PBL38630/2QNT uses the P-/PG-LCC-28-3 package: a 28-pin plastic leaded chip carrier with gull-wing leads. This package offers superior thermal performance (lower θJA) versus SSOP/DSO variants, improved mechanical robustness in vibration-prone telecom cabinets, and better solder joint reliability for high-volume wave-soldered line cards.
