TW366639B - A method and device for detecting a ringtrip - Google Patents

Abstract

A ringtrip detector comprises a reference counter for controlling a battery current generator, which shapes the ring signal, a zero pass detector for detecting zero passes in a voltage at a node, which is proportional to the telephone line current and two other counters. The zero passes of the voltage create a pulse at both the positive and the negative zero crossing of the zero pass detector. The reference counter is gated into a memory, when these pulses appear. The zero passing of the previous and the present ring cycle are stored in the memory. A counter decides the difference between the previous and the present ring cycles zero passes. If the zero pass difference between the present and previous ring cycles is greater than a fixed value, the output will indicate a "phase difference" and if it is less than the fixed value, it will indicate "no phase difference". Another counter counts a predetermined number of successive ring cycles with "no phase difference" at the start of a ring burst signal, and after establishing the ring burst signal, another predetermined number of successive ring cycles with "phase difference" is counted to detect the ringtrip.
