Q36:
I would like to integrate a T7256-based NT1 onto
both a T7250C-based 4-wire TE product and a
T7903-based 4-wire TE product in order to pro-
vide a U-interface on these products. I realize this
can be done by simply incorporating my external
NT1 design directly onto the TE board, but is
there a simpler approach in which I can avoid
having two sets of S/T transformers and associ-
ated line interface circuitry
A36:
Yes. First note Figures 34, 35, and 36, which
show example S/T line interface circuits for the
T7256, T7903, and T7250C, respectively. If no
external S/T-interface connection is required, the
T7256 can be directly connected to the T7903
and T7250C as shown in Figures 37 and 38. If
there is a requirement for connecting external
TEs, the circuits shown in Figures 39 and 40 can
be used. These two circuits show a hybrid
scheme in which a direct connect between the
T7256 and T7903/T7250C is implemented while
providing for an external S/T-interface (thus
requiring only one set of S/T transformers rather
than the two sets that would be required if the
T7256 and T7903/T7250C were transformer-cou-
pled to one another instead directly connected).
The direct connect circuits were derived as
shown in Figures 37 and 38 and the following text
sections:
Note:
In all of these analyses, the final value of
resistance chosen may be slightly differ-
ent than the ideal value computed
because standard resistance values
were used.
T7903/T7250C Transmit to T7256 Receive
a) Transmitter Load:
T7903: The line interface transformer has a
turns ratio of 2.0, and the transmitter drives a
total line-side load of 50
. Reflecting this
impedance to the device side of the trans-
former results in 200
(50
x N
2
). This
resistance, combined with the 40
total
resistance of the device-side resistors,
results in a total of 240
that the transmitter
typically drives.
So, to optimize the transmitter part of the cir-
cuit based on the load the transmitter expects
to drive, the transmitter should see a total
resistance of approximately 240
.
T7250C: The line interface transformer has a
turns ratio of 2.5, and the transmitter drives a
line-side load of 50
. Reflecting this imped-
ance to the device side of the transformer
results in 312.5
(50
x N
2
). This resis-
tance, combined with the 113
total resis-
tance of the device-side resistors, results in a
total of 425.5
that the transmitter typically
drives. So, to optimize the transmitter part of
the circuit based on the load the transmitter
expects to drive, the transmitter should see a
total resistance of approximately 425
.
