1. Introduction
The ProSLIC® from Silicon Laboratories integrates a
complete
analog
telephone
low-voltage CMOS device and offers extensive software
programmability to meet many global telephony
requirements and customer specifications. In addition to
performing all BORSCHT functions, the Si321x also
dynamically generates and controls its own battery
voltage, eliminating the need for external battery
supplies. Two different battery generation architectures
are supported: a BJT/inductor design offering a low-cost
battery supply solution, and a MOSFET/transformer
design offering increased power efficiency and a wider
range of input voltages. This application note gives

1.1. Si321x DC-DC Converter Description
The dc-dc converter dynamically generates the large
negative voltages required to operate the linefeed
interface. The Si321x acts as the controller for a
buck-boost dc-dc converter that converts a positive dc
voltage into the desired negative battery voltage. In
addition to eliminating external power supplies, this
allows the Si321x to minimize power dissipation by
dynamically controlling the battery voltage to the
minimum required for any given mode of operation.
