Description

The Si3232 is a low-voltage CMOS SLIC that offers a low-cost, fully software programmable, dual-channel, analog telephone interface for customer premise (CPE) applications. Internal ringing generation eliminates centralized ringers and ringing relays, and on-chip subscriber loop testing allows remote line card and loop diagnostics with no external test equipment or relays. The Si3232 performs all programmable SLIC functions in compliance with all relevant LSSGR, ITU, and ETSI specifications; all high-voltage functions are performed by the Si3200 linefeed interface IC.
