APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 38 specifies atypical application circuit for the
MC3401 1A. Complete listings of external components
are provided at the end of this section along with
nominal component values.
The hook switch and polarity guard bridge
configuration is one of several options. If two bridges
are used, one for the tone ringer and the other for
speech and dialer circuits, then the hook switch can be
simplified. Component values should be varied to
optimize telephone performance parameters for each
application. The relationships between the application
circuit components and certain telephone parameters
are briefly described in the following:
On-Hook Input Impedance
Rl, C17, and 23 are the significant components for
on-hook impedance. C17 dominates at low frequencies,
RI at high frequencies and 23 provides the non-linearity
required for 2.5 Vand 10 Vimpedance signature tests.
C17 must generally be s1.0 pF to satisfy 5.0 Hz
impedance specifications. (EIA RS-470)

DTMF tones. Decreasing RI 4increases the level,@$J~$@s

Off-Hook ~:t~qpbdance
The aq~ain$u~ impedance is equal to the receive
ampl&W@#,’’i~b~dimpedance (at ,RXO) divided by the
re~eiv~$~rnplifier gain (voltage gain from V+ to RXO).
ln~~~lng the impedance of the receiver increases the
imp~dance of the telephone. Increasing the gain of the
current to the transmit amplifier output current
at V+. Normally the sidetone current from the
receiver will increase the transmit signal (if the
curre~t in the receiver is in phase with that in
RIO), Thus the transmit gain and sidetone levels
cannot be adjusted independently.
Receiver Gain
Feedback’ resistor R6 adjusts the gain at the receiver
amplifier. Increasing R6 increases the receiver amplifier
gain.
Sidetone Level
Sidetone reduction is achieved by the cancellation of
receiver amplifier input signals from R9 and R5. R8, RI 5,
and C6 determine the phase of the sidetone balance
signal in R9. The ac voltage at the junction of R8 and
R9 should be 180” out of phase with the voltage at V+.
R9 is selected such that the signal current in R9 is
slightly greater than that in R5. This insures that the
sidetone current in the receiver adds to the transmit
amplifier output current.
