Product details
Overview
PEF 4268 F V1.2 from Infineon Technologies is a ringing Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC-DC) with integrated DC/DC converter for POTS line interface in VoIP gateways and CPE. It generates up to −150 V DC feed, delivers 85 Vrms sinusoidal ringing, operates from a single 9–40 V unregulated supply, supports synchronized multi-SLIC operation (up to 8 units), and interfaces directly with VINETIC-2CPE and legacy Infineon codecs.
For engineers reviewing the PEF 4268 F V1.2 datasheet, PEF 4268 F V1.2 pinout, PEF 4268 F V1.2 application, or PEF 4268 F V1.2 equivalent, key selection criteria include programmable DC feed, transversal current sensing, GR-909-compliant ITDF support, and compatibility with ADM5120SP-based ATA designs requiring low-BOM analog voice front-ends.
Technical Context
The PEF 4268 F V1.2 implements a balanced SLIC architecture with on-chip flyback DC/DC conversion enabling full POTS line powering from one input rail. Its patented ring mode dynamically reduces quiescent current during ringing, lowering thermal load without compromising peak output capability.
It features a standardized SLIC-Codec interface compatible with SLIC-S/E/P families and extended support for VINETIC-2CPE, including SYNC pin for deterministic multi-channel timing alignment and SENSE terminal for real-time transversal line current monitoring used in loop diagnostics and fault detection.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SLIC-DC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PEF 4268 T | Different package: P-DSO-24-8 (24-pin SOIC); lacks SYNC and SENSE pins; lower max ringing voltage (75 Vrms) | Suitable only for single-line, non-synchronized CPE; no GR-909 diagnostics support | Select when board space permits larger SOIC footprint and multi-line sync or advanced diagnostics are unnecessary |
| Si3226x (Skyworks) | Higher integration: includes integrated codec and DSP; requires separate 3.3 V digital supply; different register map and interface protocol | Targeted at fully integrated single-chip VoIP SoCs; not drop-in compatible with Infineon VINETIC-based platforms | Select when migrating to new platform with unified voice processing and reduced external memory requirements |
Compared with PEF 4268 T and Si3226x, the PEF 4268 F V1.2 uniquely balances high-voltage line driving, multi-unit synchronization, and legacy codec compatibility - making it optimal for incremental upgrades of Infineon-based multi-line VoIP gateways requiring field-proven reliability and minimal firmware changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input supply voltage for PEF 4268 F V1.2?
The absolute maximum unregulated supply voltage is 40 V DC. Operation above this level risks permanent damage to the internal DC/DC converter and line driver stages. The recommended operating range remains 9–40 V, with thermal derating required above 30 V under full load due to increased switching losses in the integrated flyback stage.
Does PEF 4268 F V1.2 support GR-909 line testing without external microcontroller assistance?
Yes. The Integrated Test and Diagnostic Function (ITDF) executes GR-909-compliant open/short/capacitance/resistance measurements autonomously using internal state machines and ADCs. Host processor interaction is limited to command initiation and result readout via the standard SLIC interface - no external test controller or dedicated firmware is required.
Can multiple PEF 4268 F V1.2 devices share a single DC/DC converter?
No. Each PEF 4268 F V1.2 contains its own dedicated on-chip DC/DC converter optimized for its specific line interface. Sharing converters would compromise isolation, fault containment, and compliance with telecom safety standards (e.g., IEC 60950-1). The SYNC pin coordinates timing only - power domains remain fully independent.
Is the SENSE pin on PEF 4268 F V1.2 compatible with standard ADC inputs?
Yes. The SENSE pin outputs a buffered, rail-to-rail analog voltage (0–3.3 V) linearly proportional to transversal line current (±100 mA full scale). It drives standard 10 kΩ minimum input impedance ADCs directly without external amplification or level shifting, and includes internal ESD protection rated to ±4 kV HBM.
