Product details
Overview
PBL38640/2SOA from Infineon Technologies is a FlexiSLIC™ Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) designed for analog telephony line interface in voice-over-DSL, VoIP gateways, and IP-PBX systems. 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 PBL38640/2SOA datasheet, PBL38640/2SOA pinout, PBL38640/2SOA application, or PBL38640/2SOA equivalent, key selection criteria include on-hook transmission capability, longitudinal balance >60 dB, automatic high/low battery switching, analog overtemperature protection with continued transmission, and SSOP-24 package compatibility with legacy telephony PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The PBL38640/2SOA integrates full two-wire loop feed, hybrid function, codec receive interface, and relay driver in a single IC. It implements analog-based battery feed control with close-tolerance current regulation and programmable signal headroom via POV configuration, enabling stable operation under varying line leakage conditions (RLeak > 10 kΩ).
Its SLIC operating states-including open circuit, ringing, active, tip open, and polarity reversal-are controlled by three digital inputs (C3/C2/C1). The device features analog temperature guard that permits continued transmission during thermal events, and includes dedicated detectors for ground key, ring trip, and loop current monitoring.
Key Specifications

| Longitudinal balance | >60 dB - minimizes common-mode noise coupling into four-wire codec path |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to +85 °C - supports industrial-grade deployment in uncontrolled telecom environments |
| Transmit gain options | 1× or 0.5× - allows flexible matching to line impedance and codec sensitivity requirements |
| Package type | P-/PG-SSOP-24-1 - 0.65 mm pitch, surface-mount, footprint-compatible with legacy P-SSOP-24 designs |
| Loop current tolerance | Close-tolerance feeding - maintains constant loop voltage for line leakage < 5 mA (RLeak > 10 kΩ) |
Pinout & Package
PBL38640/2SOA is housed in a 24-pin Plastic Shrink Small Outline Package (P-/PG-SSOP-24-1), with 0.65 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal performance in high-density telephony modules.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SLIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LE89316B | Integrated DC-DC converter for battery generation; requires no external -48 V supply | Suitable for AC-powered VoIP adapters where centralized battery feed is unavailable | Select when system lacks -48 V infrastructure but requires same SLIC functionality |
| Si3050 | Digital-configurable SLIC with SPI interface; higher integration of codec and DTMF generator | Targeted at highly integrated single-chip VoIP solutions requiring software-defined line states | Select when firmware control of all SLIC parameters and embedded DTMF are required |
Compared with LE89316B and Si3050, the PBL38640/2SOA offers analog simplicity, deterministic timing, and minimal external component count-ideal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability analog line interfaces where fixed-function operation and thermal resilience are prioritized over configurability.

FAQ
What is the maximum loop length supported by PBL38640/2SOA?
The PBL38640/2SOA supports loop lengths up to 5 km with standard 24 AWG twisted-pair cable, based on its 43 V open-loop voltage at -48 V feed and ability to maintain constant loop voltage for line leakage < 5 mA (RLeak > 10 kΩ). Performance beyond this depends on actual line impedance and termination.
Does PBL38640/2SOA require external components for battery feed regulation?
Yes - it requires an external precision current-sense resistor (RSN) for closed-loop loop current regulation, and external resistors (RR, RT, RRX, RTX, RB) to configure battery feed characteristics, hybrid balance, and gain settings as specified in Table 6 of the datasheet.
Can PBL38640/2SOA operate without a microcontroller interface?
Yes - it uses three hardwired digital control inputs (C3/C2/C1) to select among seven predefined SLIC operating states (e.g., ringing, active, tip open), eliminating the need for SPI/I²C or firmware intervention in basic deployments.
Is PBL38640/2SOA RoHS-compliant?
The PBL38640/2SOA was released in April 2005, predating full RoHS enforcement; Infineon's official documentation confirms RoHS-5 compliance (lead exemption for high-melting-temperature solder alloys), with Pb-free versions (e.g., PBL38640/2SOA-1) introduced later under separate part numbering.
