PSB 2120
PSB 2120 Applications in ISDN-Environments
Figure 3 shows an example out of the wide application field of the PSB 2120. In the network
termination one PSB 2120 supplies the internal IC’s directly from the U–interface. A second IRPC,
also powered from the U-line, supplies the S–interface if the main supply of the NT is out of order.
A third IRPC is used in the main supply to regulate the S-line feeding voltage.
In the subscriber terminal the PSB 2120 is used for feeding the internal circuits.
The PSB 2120 accommodates both galvanically isolated and non-isolated configuration.
Considering the diversity of DC/DC-converter applications, this part of the specification only shows
how to use the special ISDN-features of the PSB 2120.
The switching frequency of the SMPS is programmable by two external components.
Figure 4 shows the switching frequency as a function of RT and CT.
The minimum configuration so as to be able to use the PSB 2120 in ISDN-applications is by using
a flyback converter (figure 5).
The time constant of the soft start circuit is programmed by a capacitor at Pin CSS.
Figure 6 shows the primary start-up current limitation by connecting Pin CIN. To reduce chip-power-
dissipation, an auxiliary winding of the transformer is used to switch off the internal linear CMOS-
supply (pin VEXT). Polarity reversal is detected by pin POL.
Figure 7 shows the realization of a microprocessor-reset-signal with the universal usable
comparator of the IRPC.
Figure 8 shows the PSB 2120 in flyback configuration with transformer isolation.
Figure 9 shows the PSB 2120 in flyback configuration with opto isolation, which is useful for a high
reliability galvanically isolated application.
