Product details
Overview
PBL38640/2QNA from Infineon Technologies is a FlexiSLIC™ Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) designed for analog telephony line interface in voice-over-DSL, VoIP gateways, and ISDN terminal adapters. It delivers 43 V open-loop voltage at -48 V battery feed, supports programmable overhead voltage (POV), provides selectable transmit gain (1× or 0.5×), and operates across -40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature.
For engineers reviewing the PBL38640/2QNA datasheet, PBL38640/2QNA pinout, PBL38640/2QNA application, or PBL38640/2QNA equivalent, key selection criteria include on-hook transmission capability, longitudinal balance >60 dB, automatic high/low battery switching, loop current detection, and analog overtemperature protection with continued transmission.
Technical Context
The PBL38640/2QNA integrates full two-wire/four-wire hybrid functionality with configurable gain paths, enabling simultaneous transmit/receive signal separation without external transformers. Its battery feed circuit maintains constant loop voltage up to 5 mA leakage current (RLeak >10 kΩ @ -48 V) and tracks Vbat dynamically.
Control logic implements eight SLIC operating states-including ringing, active polarity reversal, tip open, and ground key detection-via three digital inputs (C3/C2/C1). Analog temperature guard allows uninterrupted transmission during thermal overload, unlike shutdown-based protection schemes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open-loop voltage | 43 V at -48 V battery feed - enables reliable line driving over long loops with standard central office voltage. |
| On-hook power dissipation | 65 mW in active state - minimizes thermal load during standby, supporting dense multi-channel designs. |
| Longitudinal balance | >60 dB - ensures effective common-mode rejection for noise immunity in noisy telecom environments. |
| Transmit gain select | 1× or 0.5× - allows flexible signal level matching to codec input ranges without external attenuation. |
| Ambient temperature range | -40 °C to +85 °C - supports deployment in uncontrolled industrial and outdoor telecom enclosures. |
| Loop current detection | Integrated analog detector - enables real-time supervision of line seizure, off-hook, and short-circuit conditions. |
| Programmable POV | Analog-adjustable overhead voltage - permits fine-tuning of headroom for varying line impedance and cable loss profiles. |

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 dissipation (120 mW); requires external thermal sensor; no analog POV adjustment. | Targeted at higher-density carrier-grade systems with forced-air cooling; lacks on-hook transmission mode. | Select when absolute thermal headroom exceeds 85 °C ambient and external supervisory MCU is available for state sequencing. |
| Si3226x | Digital-configurable POV and gain; integrated dc-dc converter; SPI interface; 32-pin QFN package. | Designed for software-defined line cards with firmware-based state management and dynamic parameter tuning. | Prefer for new designs requiring remote calibration, multi-vendor interoperability, or compact footprint with integrated power conversion. |
Compared with LE89316B and Si3226x, the PBL38640/2QNA offers analog-programmable headroom, zero-power-up-sequence operation, and lower on-hook dissipation-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained, or legacy-compatible analog telephony interfaces where deterministic analog control is prioritized over digital configurability.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the VPOR pin on the PBL38640/2QNA?
The VPOR pin accepts an analog voltage (0.5–2.5 V) that sets the programmable overhead voltage (POV) level, directly determining headroom margin for linear operation under varying line impedances. This enables precise adjustment of signal swing without changing external components, supporting deployment across diverse loop lengths and cable gauges.
Does the PBL38640/2QNA support true on-hook transmission?
Yes-the device supports simultaneous on-hook transmission by maintaining active hybrid function and codec interface while drawing only 65 mW. This allows diagnostic tone injection, line testing, or remote firmware updates without lifting the handset or disrupting line supervision states.
How does the analog overtemperature protection differ from digital thermal shutdown?
Unlike digital shutdown, the PBL38640/2QNA's analog overtemperature protection reduces internal bias current progressively while preserving signal path continuity. This avoids abrupt call termination and enables graceful degradation-maintaining basic line supervision and audio pass-through during thermal overload.
Can the PBL38640/2QNA operate without an external microcontroller?
Yes-it functions autonomously using only three digital control inputs (C3/C2/C1) to select among eight predefined SLIC states. No firmware, clock, or serial interface is required, making it suitable for fixed-function hardware designs with minimal control logic.
