CMX624 Preliminary Information
Note:
1. If the time constant of R24 and C22 is large enough then the voltage on RT will remain below the
threshold of the 'B' Schmitt trigger for the duration of a ring cycle.
The time for the voltage on RT to charge from VSS towards VDD can be derived from the formula:
VRT
=
VDD
1
-
e
−t
R 24 xC22
As the Schmitt trigger high-going input threshold voltage (VtHI) has a minimum value of 0.56 x VDD, then
the Schmitt trigger B output will remain high for a time of at least 0.821 x R24 x C22 following a pulse at
RD.
The values of R24 and C22 given in Figure 14 (470kΩ and 0.33µF) give a minimum RT charge time of
100ms, which is adequate for ring frequencies of 10Hz or above.
Note: The circuit will also respond to a telephone line voltage reversal. If necessary the µC can distinguish
between a Ring signal and a line voltage reversal by measuring the time that bit 6 of the FLAGS
register (Ring Detect) is high.
