Application Notes

1.6.1

Line Interface

The signals on the telephone line are not suitable for direct connection to the FX614. A Line Interface circuit is

necessary to:

•

Provide high voltage and dc isolation

•

Attenuate the Tx signal present at the Rx input

•

Provide the low impedance drive necessary for the line

•

Filter the Tx and Rx signals

Notes:

•

The components 'Z' between points B and C should match the line impedance.

•

Device A2 must be able to drive 'Z' and the line.
