Abstract

A novel electronic inductor circuit is used to establish a DC current drawn from the telephone line needed for indicating to a central office (or PBX) that a telephone device (i.e. a modem) has seized the line. The electronic inductor's transistor is used to perform the functions of a hookswitch, thereby avoiding the introduction of unwanted impedance in the AC signal path of the device. In order to go on-hook, the electronic inductor's transistor (upon receiving a control signal) stops drawing current from the central office loop indicating that it is now in the on-hook state. Unlike a switch, the present invention operates by starting and stopping the CD current while the entire circuit remains connected to the line at all times. The line is ""seized"" by providing a control voltage to turn on the electronic inductor and thereby initialize line current to flow through its transistor- thus achieving the ""off-hook"" state.

Description of the invention (f) Background of the invention 1. Field of the invention The present invention relates generally to the field of telephone line interface circuits, and in particular to telephone line interface circuits without hook switches. 2. Related technical description A key switch determines whether a telephone device (such as a modem) allows or does not allow DC line current to flow into the device when it is offline or busy. Hook switches were previously considered to be the basic components of telephone line interface circuits. Shown in Figure 1 is a conventional telephone line interface circuit using a relay 6 as a hook switch. The relay 6 is connected to a telephone line (not shown) via a standard bridge diode 4 and then to the T i p and R i ng signal lines. These τ 1 p and R i n g signals are also connected to a ringing detection circuit (not shown) via terminals A and B. The relay 6 is widely used as a hook switch because of its extremely low impedance between the terminals. However, the 'Relay 6' is bulky and requires a large amount of power in a single circuit during operation. In addition, when this device is offline or busy, an undesirably high voltage spark will be generated between the terminals of the relay 6. Note that the relay 6 can completely isolate the modem circuit 2 from the telephone line. As shown in Figure 2, 'transistor 8 is commonly used for hook switch in the conventional technology, but transistor 8 also produces some unwanted results. In particular, in a typical hook switch application, the transistor 8 generates an undesired voltage drop between the T ip and Ring terminals, and the telephone line also generates a large amount of power consumption, the distortion of the transmitted signal, and the DC line current Changes resulting in large changes in backflow losses. It should be noted that although the FET transistor is shown in the figure, 4 paper sizes are applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) < Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page )

Description of Invention (> ") It is also possible to use a bipolar transistor. In addition, as with the relay circuit in Figure 1, the transistor 8 can completely isolate the modem circuit 2 from the telephone line. Furthermore, in order to operate effectively, the transistor used as a hook switch must work in the saturation region And it needs to maintain the full output of the line current. Although it is not difficult to maintain the transistor saturation when the current is at 20 mA, it will be a challenge to maintain the transistor saturation when the line current increases to 100 m A. The impedance generated by the transistor switch will also reduce the DC operating voltage of a typical integrated electronic sensor circuit (also known as " current holding circuit "). Therefore, the improvement of the hook switch has its demand. The present invention is based on the present invention, which uses a novel electronic sensor circuit that draws the required DC (direct current) current from the telephone line to form a loop current to display the telephone device (ie, the central office (or exchange)). Modem) already occupied this line. The transistor of the electronic sensor circuit is used to perform the function of a hook switch ', so it is possible to avoid introducing an unacceptable impedance to the A C (Alternating Current) signal path of the device. In order to go offline, the electronic sensor transistor (when receiving a control signal) stops drawing the loop current from the central office terminal to show that it is offline. Different from a switch, the present invention operates by starting and stopping DC current, but the entire circuit is still connected to a telephone line. In one configuration, a low current transistor is added in series with the AC impedance network (usually 60 Q ohms) to isolate this network from the telephone line when the device is offline. In this way, the electrons are generated by generating a control voltage (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) -------- Order ---------, Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed paper scales printed by employee consumer cooperatives Guan Xu · 7 ^) Α4 secret Q χ-4561 37 A7 Employee cooperation of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Du printed B7 5.

However, various changes will still be apparent to those skilled in the art, since the basic principles of the present invention have been defined in detail herein to provide a telephone line interface circuit without the hook switch of the prior art standard. The invention will now be described with reference to Figure 3. The transistor 10 is connected between the modem circuit 10 (or other telephone device) and the bridge diode 4. This transistor 10 is a part of the electronic sensor circuit. The rest is not shown, but its structure is well known in the art. The transistor 10 of the electronic sensor is used to perform the function of a hook switch. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an unnecessary impedance from being introduced into the AC signal path of the modem device 2. This transistor 10 is a voltage-controlled current source. When offline, the transistor 10 (when the control signal is received by the controller 12) stops drawing the loop current from the central office to show that it is offline. Unlike the switch, the operation mode of the present invention is to start and stop the DC current, but the entire circuit remains connected to the telephone line. In this way, by the control signal generated by the controller 12 to turn on the transistor 10, the telephone line will be occupied.

In a typical American telephone system, the transistor 10 will have to draw a current of about 17 mA to reach the answering state. The controller 12 can be programmed to set the loop current 値 drawn by the transistor 10. For example, how much loop current is drawn before the answer status is displayed. Many countries have different standards. The controller 12 can be programmed by the device designer to perform the correct operation in the required telephone environment without redesigning the entire system. Circuit. A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. It uses two transistors 16 and 18 to draw the loop current instead of one transistor. Controller 20 controls both transistors 16 and 18, and determines the amount of loop current drawn by the telephone line. However, each transistor has a slightly different function. The first transistor 16 is used to draw most of the DC current required to display the status of the answer (transistor 16 is used as a 〃busy 〃 indicator). The second transistor 18 only draws a DC current sufficient for proper biasing. The AC signal from the digital to analog (D / A) codec (C 0 DEC) is added to the base of the second transistor 18, and therefore the second transistor 18 compares the DC signal with the AC input signal For modulation, and as the driver of the modem transmitter. Due to cost and performance considerations, the inventors have judged that two transistors are better. Since two transistors are used, one can be used for the driver of the transmitter, and the other can be used for the busy indication. The first transistor may be an N P N transistor and the second transistor may be a P N P transistor. A third embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 5.
