Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description

MT3334SMI 15

Safety: All creepages and clearances for the MT3334SMI have been designed to meet requirements

of safety standards EN60950 and IEC950. The requirements are based on a working voltage of

250V. When the recommended DAA circuit interface is implemented in a third party design all

creepage and clearance requirements must be strictly adhered to. The third party safety design

must be evaluated by the appropriate national agency per the required specification.

User accessible areas: Based on where the third party design is to be marketed/sold or used, it may

be necessary to provide an insulating cover over all TNV exposed areas. Consult with the

recognized safety agency to determine the requirements.

Notice: Even if the recommended design considerations are followed, there are no guarantees that

a particular system will comply with all the necessary regulatory requirements. It is imperative that

specific designs be completely evaluated by a qualified/recognized agency.

This section discusses the FCC Part 68 and Industry Canada CS-03 Telecom compliance of the

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Model MT5634SM/SMI socketed modem module.

This module was tested by the NVLAP accredited KTL Dallas Inc. laboratory and conforms to the

above said standards. The modem module was tested in the MultiTech MTASR3-200, a 3-modem

asynchronous router that uses three socket modems for dial-up telephone access. The developer’s

guide (included on diskette) with the MT5634SM/SMI modem includes design specifications listing

recommendations for the RJ-11 phone jack and fuse which are needed for FCC Part 68 compliance.

The MTASR3-200 tested has sockets for three modem modules each having traces of varying

lengths out to the RJ-11 connectors. Trace lengths ranged from 1.97 to 3.15 inches. The trace widths

were all 12 mil. Since three ports with varying trace lengths were tested, we concluded that as long

as the customer’s printed circuit board characteristics are reasonably close to these parameters

there should not be any issues relating to telecom compliance. In addition to a recommended

external fuse, the modem module also has a Sidactor on board.

Multi-Tech believes that, provided the same components are used and parts placement is similar,

Telecom compliance will be maintained for the system and no additional testing is required.

Trace Impedance - Side-by-Side Traces

Where: Er = Relative permittivity of the PCB dielectric material. Typically 4 - 4.7

s = Spacing between traces - 12 mils (.012)

w = Trace width - 12 mils (.012)

t = Trace thickness - (.0022)
