Summary
Phone Line Monitor with Detectors (PLMD)
Description
The CPC5712 is a special purpose Phone Line Monitor with Detectors (PLMD) integrated circuit that is used in various high-voltage telephony applications such as VoIP gateways and IP-PBXs. The device monitors the TIP/RING potential through a high-impedance divider (resistor isolation) to derive two programmable signal level detects, polarity information, and a scaled representation of the phone line voltages. In use, the resistor divider and the high input impedance of the CPC5712 make the circuit practically undetectable on the line.
