  • the invention relates to a method for increasing onhook voltage in a subscriber loop, said method being employed in a subscriber interface unit, said subscriber loop comprising lines, and at least one terminal, and said subscriber interface unit comprising adapter means for adapting said lines for the subscriber interface unit, a battery voltage being generated by a battery voltage source.
  • the solution of the invention can be used in telecommunication equipments, particularly in subscriber signalling equipments, which in some cases require that onhook voltage in a subscriber loop be increased.
  • Onhook voltage refers to the voltage that occurs between subscriber lines when the handset of a terminal, e.g. a telephone, is on its mounting.
  • Offhook voltage refers to the voltage that occurs between subscriber lines when the handset of a terminal, e.g. a telephone, is lifted from its mounting.
  • An offhook situation occurs in the system when offhook voltage prevails.
  • Subscriber signalling equipments are normally connected to an operating voltage, or battery voltage, of e.g. -48 V. However, the battery voltage used is not always high enough for generating a sufficiently high onhook voltage to a subscriber loop.
  • there are telephone exchanges which require a higher voltage for a subscriber loop than is generated by means of the normal battery voltage. The object of the invention is thus to increase onhook voltage.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a new type of solution for increasing onhook voltage in an onhook situation, which avoids the problems associated with the prior art.
  • the object is achieved with a method of the type described in the introductory portion, the method being characterized in that the onhook voltage supplied from the adapter means to the terminal is increased by an additional voltage generated by said battery voltage source.

  • the adapter means 1 are preferably implemented with a subscriber line interface circuit SLIC.
  • the SLIC can be, for example, the commercial circuit Am79M574.
  • the arrangement further comprises an additional voltage source 2.
  • the additional voltage source 2 is implemented with a commercial DC/DC converter or with a switching mode power supply.
  • the additional voltage source 2 comprises a primary side 2a and a secondary side 2b.
  • the primary side 2a of the additional voltage source 2 is connected to the battery voltage source 4, whereas its secondary side 2b is connected to the adapter means 1.
  • battery voltage Vbat which is typically -44 V to -54 V, occurs in the battery voltage source 4.
  • the magnitude of the battery voltage Vbat has an effect on the magnitude of the onhook voltage Von occurring in the subscriber loop B.
  • the additional voltage source 2 which is connected to the battery voltage source 4, generates an additional voltage Vad from the battery voltage Vbat.
  • the generated additional voltage Vad is added to the battery voltage Vbat generated by the battery voltage source 4, whereby the onhook voltage Von supplied to the subscriber loop B through the adapter means 1 increases in proportion.
  • a subscriber terminal 3 which in practice is a telephone machine, is connected between the lines a and b.
  • the battery voltage Vbat supplied from the battery voltage source 4 to the primary side 2a of the additional voltage source 2 is negative.
  • the battery voltage Vbat may, however, also be positive; in this case, the coupling must be adjusted to correspond to the polarity of the battery voltage Vbat.
  • the additional voltage source 2 converts the negative battery voltage Vbat supplied from the battery voltage source 4; as a result of this conversion, a criterion voltage Vkr of -60 V occurs at point A between the secondary side 2b of the additional voltage source 2 and the adapter means 1.

  • the battery voltage Vbat generated by the battery voltage source 4 is typically in the range of -44 V to -54 V.

  • the current limiting means 5 comprise a voltage regulation circuit 8 for keeping the criterion voltage Vkr constant at point A between the diodes 6, 7 and the adapter means 1 , even if the battery voltage Vbat generated by the battery voltage source 4 should oscillate.
  • the regulation circuit 8 it is ensured that the maximum supply voltage of the adapter means 1 is not exceeded at point A. If disturbance voltages, such as ripple voltage, occurs in the battery voltage generated by the battery voltage source 4, the regulation circuit 8 keeps the voltage Vkr at point A constant.
  • a current I is supplied through the adapter means 1.
  • the current limiting means 5 are designed so as to take the amount I of current in an onhook situation, i.e. the same amount as is taken by the adapter means 1.
  • the voltage occurring at the anodes of the diodes 6, 7, at point A is the sum of the battery voltage Vbat generated by the battery voltage source 4 and the additional voltage Vad generated by the additional voltage source 2.
  • the additional voltage Vad generated by the additional voltage source 2 is not added to the battery voltage Vbat generated by the battery voltage source 4. In this case, only the battery voltage Vbat occurs at point A.
  • the voltage at point A regulated by means of the regulation circuit 8 is -60 V.
  • the desired magnitude of the onhook voltage Von in an onhook situation is -44 V, for example, and the battery voltage Vbat used is -44 V
  • the voltage required at point A is -60 V.
  • the additional voltage source 2 generates an additional voltage Vad, which is about -18 V. If the additional voltage Vad and the battery voltage Vbat are simply added together, the sum obtained is -62 V. However, about 2 V of this voltage goes to various voltage drops.
  • the voltage occurring at point A in Figure 2 is thus -60 V, which allows an onhook voltage of -44 V to be generated in an onhook situation.
