A METHOD AND AN ARRANGEMENT IN AN ANALOG LINE INTERFACE CIRCUIT

摘要

In a line interface circuit for analog broadband applications, a terminating impedance towards a two-wire twisted copper line is set by sensing the line voltage, amplifying the sensed line voltage by a voltage amplification factor, converting the amplified voltage into a current, buffering and amplifying the current by a current amplification factor, injecting the amplified current onto the line, and adjusting the voltage amplification factor and/or the current amplification factor to set the terminating impedance to a desired value.
