Improvements in or relating to telephone circuits, monolithically integrated, for ring trip detection.

摘要

A telephone circuit for the ring trip detection, including a current transducer circuit (TR) that is coupled to a user's telephone line and supplies a current (IT) proportional to the current of the line (I<Sub>L</Sub>) for current values included between two predetermined threshold values, opposite in sign and equal in absolute value. When these threshold values are reached the current (IT) supplied by the transducers (TR) is maintained constant when the line current (I<Sub>L</Sub>) varies.

An integrator (INT) included in the circuit integrates the current supplied by the transducer on one or more full periods of the line voltage.

When the result of such an integration is different from zero, the detection circuit can inform the telephone exchange control equipment that the off-hook has taken place.
