Pin Descriptions

NAME
DESCRIPTION
1
/DCD
/DCD is an active low output from the modem. The AT&C command controls when the
XE2420 asserts /DCD.
2
/CTS
/CTS is an active low output from the modem. The modem asserts /CTS to indicate that it can
accept data from the terminal equipment on /TXD.
3
RESET
RESET is an active high input which intiates a modem hardware reset. RESET must be active
for a minimum of 100 milliseconds for a proper modem reset sequence. No external reset is
required; if none is used the RESET signal should be left open.
4
/DSR
/DSR is an active low output from the modem. The AT&S command controls when the XE2420
asserts /DSR.
5
/RTS
/RTS is an active low input to the modem. /RTS indicates to the modem that the host has data
to send.
6
/DTR
/DTR is an active low input to the modem. The AT&D command determines how the modem
will interpret activity on /DTR.
7
/RXD
/RXD provides the path for received data and modem responses to be sent from the modem to
the host terminal equipment.

DESCRIPTION
8
/TXD
/TXD provides the path for transmitted data and modem commands to be passed from the host
terminal equipment to the modem.
9
/RI
The /RI signal reports on the presence of an incoming ring signal. When a ring occurs across
Tip and Ring, the /RI output toggles at the ring frequency. The /RI output is powered by Vui
and therefore operates even when VCC is removed from the modem.
10
Ground
Ground provides the reference voltage for all host interface signals.
11
N/C
No internal connection
12
EECL
EECL provides the clock to the optional external non-volatile memory. The XE2420 requires
a serial 8 by 256 Byte EEPROM for telephone number storage. If the non-volatile memory is
not used, EECL should remain unconnected.
13
EEDT
EEDT provides the serial data connection for the optional, external non-volatile memory. The
XE2420 requires a serial 8 by 256 Byte EEPROM for telephone number storage. If the non-
volatile memory is not used, EEDT should remain unconnected.
14
VCC
VCC provides 5 volt power to the modem. The RI output is not powered by VCC but by Vui.
15
Vui
Vui provides uninterrupted power to the XE2420 ring detect circuit. Placing 5 volt power on
Vui insures that the /RI ouput will operate when VCC is removed from the modem.
16
HI2
HI2 is one of the four hardware hooks for connecting shared line features to the XE2420.
HI2 interfaces to the 911 Interrupt circuit.
This circuit detects changes in the loop current
when an extension handset is lifted as when making an emergency call. The system host
should immediately abort the modem connection to permit the user to complete their call.
See the Application Note on Page 10 of this data sheet to see how these line monitoring
circuits interface with the XE2420.
17
CD
CD provides another of the four hardware hooks for connecting shared line features to the
XE2420. CD interfaces to the Connect Dectect circuit. Connect Detect allows the system
host to check the status of the telephone line before going off-hook to initiate a call. If the
phone line is in use,the host can delay its call until the telephone line is free. See the
Application Note on Page 10 of this data sheet to see how these line monitoring circuits
interface with the XE2420.
18
HI1
HI1 is one of the four hardware hooks for connecting shared line features to the XE2420.
HI1 interfaces to the 911 Interrupt circuit.
This circuit detects changes in the loop current
when an extension handset is lifted as when making an emergency call. The system host
should immediately abort the modem connection to permit the user to complete their call.

circuits interface with the XE2420.

22
Tip
The Ring and Tip signals provide modem the connection to the telephone line. FCC Part 68
Rules require a 1500 volt isolation barrier between the telephone line and all other circuits.
This isolation must be preserved throughout the system.
The telephone company places a DC “Battery” voltage across Tip and Ring on all public switched
telephone lines. The XE2420 will operate regardless of the polarity of this “Battery” voltage.
The “Battery” voltage drives up to 100 milliamps of DC loop current.
UL60950 requires minimum creepage and clearances distances be maintained between the
Tip and Ring traces and all other circuits. Clearance is the shortest distance between conductive
circuits; creepage is the distance between conductive surfaces along the surface

XE2420 Soldering Instructions
The XE2420 is subject to damage if over-exposed to heat during solder reflow operations. Following the
soldering instructions below will ensure that the process of soldering the module to the board does not damage the
modem. The XE2420 must not be exposed to direct Infrared (IR) heating. If your process includes direct IR
heating, you must shield the XE2420 from the infrared rays.

Notes:
1
FB1 and FB2 are ferrite beads which may be required for EMI filtering in your system. Without these
components you may experience unintended radiation when the telephone cable is attached to your system.
We recommend selecting components such as the TDK ACB2012L-120 which provide a minimum of 100
ohms of impedence at frequencies above 100 MHz.
2. C1 and C2 are high-voltage capacitors which may be required for EMI filtering in your system. Without these
components you may experience unintended radiation when the telephone cable is attached to your system. We
recommend selecting components such as the Panasonic ECKDRS471. This 470 pfd, 3000 volt capacitor will
direct the high frequency harmonics to the system ground. These capacitors must be rated at a minimum of 1500
volts to maintain the isolation required by FCC Part 68 Rules.
3. The Battery applied to Vui allows the XE2420’s Ring Indicate output to remain active even when the modem
itself is powered down. If this power-down mode is not required for your application, Vui should be tied to
VCC.
4. The EEPROM, NM24C04, provides for non-volatile storage of telephone numbers using the AT&Z command.
The EEPROM must be programmed using the Diplomat™ Utility from Zilog Inc.
Diplomat™ is a trademark of Zilog Inc.

Application Note: Using a 68-Pin PLCC Socket
The XE2420 can be inserted into a socket for a 68-pin PLCC device. The HyPLCC package uses only 24 pins; 15
on one side and 9 on the opposite side. Allignment within the socket is critical for all pins of the XE2420 to
make contact with the appropriate pins of the PLCC socket. The drawing below illustrates how the XE2420 can be
inserted into the 68-pin PLCC socket.

XE2420
Application Note: XE2420 Shared Line Feature
For applications where the XE2420 shares a telephone line with a telephone handset, Xecom has provided four
hardware hooks for connecting two monitoring circuits. These circuits monitor the status of the telephone line to
prevent the modem from interfering with a voice call.
The Connect Detection Circuit monitors the telephone loop voltage when the modem is not in use. This allows the
system host to check the status of the telephone line before initiating a call. The ConDetect signal will be be high
when the phone line is available but goes low to indicate that the telephone line is in use.
The Handset Interupt or 911 Interrupt circuit monitors loop current while the modem is in the off-hook state. This
circuit detects the change in loop current which occurs when a handset on the shared telephone line is lifted. The
HSInterrupt output will go low momentarily if the handset is lifted during data communications. The system host can
then immediately abort the modem connection and permit the user to complete their call.
