LT1794 UUWUAPPLICATIO S I FOR ATIOLogic Controlled Operating CurrentShutdown and Recovery The DSP controller in a typical xDSL application can have The ultimate power saving action on a completely idle port I/O pins assigned to provide logic control of the LT1794 is to fully shut down the line driver by pulling the SHDN pin line driver operating current. As shown in Figure 4 one or to within 0.4V of the SHDNREF potential. As shown in two logic control inputs can control two or four different Figure 5 complete shutdown occurs in less than 10µs and, operating modes. The logic inputs add or subtract current more importantly, complete recovery from the shut down to the SHDN input to set the operating current. The one state to full operation occurs in less than 2µs. The biasing logic input example selects the supply current to be either circuitry in the LT1794 reacts very quickly to bring the full power, 10mA per amplifier or just 2mA per amplifier, amplifiers back to normal operation. which significantly reduces the driver power consumption while maintaining less than 2Ω output impedance to frequencies less than 1MHz. This low power mode retains termination impedance at the amplifier outputs and the VSHDN line driving back termination resistors. With this termina- SHDNREF = 0V tion, while a DSL port is not transmitting data, it can still sense a received signal from the line across the back- termination resistors and respond accordingly. AMPLIFIER OUTPUT The two logic input control provides two intermediate (approximately 7mA per amplifier and 5mA per amplifier) operating levels between full power and termination modes. 1794 F05 These modes can be useful for overall system power management when full power transmissions are not Figure 5.
