Abstract:
The invention relates to a monolithically integrated telephone circuit for driving wide-band telephone lines and transmitting digital data at a very high frequency. The telephone circuit is powered from a battery DC supply providing a pair of voltage references. The telephone circuit includes an output circuit portion including a pair of differential output stages, each having a pair of inputs and being connected with its output to a respective lead of a two-wire telephone line. The telephone circuit also includes a device for deriving a reference voltage from the supply voltage, and includes a low-voltage supply network which is input a DC signal and produces a voltage reference to be added to the reference voltage for delivery to one input of each output stage. The other input of each stage receives an AC signal in order to present at the circuit output a suitable AC+DC differential voltage for driving the telephone line.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method and to an equalizer circuit of signals transmitted on a line. In an embodiment the equaliser circuit of signals transmitted on a line having an attenuation comprising: an analogical adaptive filter (1) applied in series to said line comprises at least two transconductance filters having a bias current (Pc1-Pcn) each and to which it is associated at least one pole and at least one zero the position in frequency of which in the working band (B) is variable in response to said bias current (Pc1-Pcn); a retroaction circuit (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) applied to the output of said filter (1) able to vary said bias current (Pc1-Pcn); said bias current (Pc1-Pcn) varies at the varying of said attenuation of said line; characterised in that said at least two transconductance filters have said bias current of prefixed value; said bias current is made to vary at the increasing of said attenuation so that said at least one pole is moved toward the high frequencies; said bias current is made to vary at the increasing of said attenuation so that said at least a zero is moved toward the low frequencies.
