A typical active impedance line feed circuit includes tip and ring amplifiers (20, 40) being controlled in response to signals at tip and ring voltage taps (6, 7) by a control circuit (60) to exhibit a.c. impedance and d.c. resistance characteristics for the purpose of supplying energizing current via tip and ring terminals (2, 3) for tip and ring leads of two wire communication line. In one example of the active impedance line feed circuit, improved operational tolerance of longitudinal interference and of a ground fault condition is provided by a d.c. amplifier (210a) being responsive to voltages at the tip and ring terminals. The circuit is characterized in that an inverting input of the d.c. amplifier is connected via resistors (212a, 313a) to the tip and ring voltage taps. In operation, the d.c. amplifier provides complete cancellation of all common mode signals at the tip and ring voltage taps. A compensation amplifier (235) is also connected between the tip and ring voltage taps and is responsive to the output of a control amplifier (231) for compensating for non-symmetrical current, the non-symmetrical current being introduced between the tip and the ring voltage taps by normal operation of the control circuit. Thereby, a threshold of ground fault current limiting action is substantially constant under all operating conditions. The d.c. amplifier is conveniently manufacturable in integrated circuit technology along with the remaining amplifiers in the active impedance line feed circuit.

A process for fabricating a CMOS compatible bipolar transistor is described. The transistor, which is of the polysilicon emitter type, is fabricated by forming a p-type layer in a well, providing a polysilicon emitter in contact with the layer, using the emitter as a mask to implant p⁺-type base contact regions, and applying contacts to the device.

In an integrated services digital network (ISDN) a telephone subscriber is physically connected to a telephone exchange by a digital signal subscriber loop which provides in time division multiplex (TDM), two B channels and a D channel. The two B channels are used for voice and data at a bit rate of sixty-four kilobits per second each. The D channel is used for packet data and for telephone signalling and supervision at a bit rate of sixteen kilobits per second. An ISDN D channel handler, in an exchange termination (ET) collects D channel data from and distributes D channel data to various ISDN subscriber lines. A frame processor, in the D channel handler, receives D channel information as it occurs in each of the receive channels. It directs D channel data to a receive buffer storage location where it is accessible by a translator. The translator recognizes information in the data which relates to supervisory and signalling functions, and passes the information to a central controller in the ET. Likewise, signalling and supervisory information destined for an ISDN subscriber line is translated into ISDN compatible data which is stored in transmit buffer storage locations. The frame processor subsequently pulls this data from the storage locations, and formats it according to CCITT standard, before transmitting it on the appropriate transmit D channel of the TDM bit stream to the subscriber. Packet data received in the D channel is recognized after is has been stored in the receive buffer storage location and then is immediately queued for transmission via the frame processor and a digital transmission link to a separate packet network. Packet data from the separate packet network is received from the digital transmission link and stored via the frame processor in buffer storage locations. Subsequently, the information bits of each stored data packet are formatted according to the CCITT standard by the frame processor, and transmitted to the intended subscriber on the appropriate D channel.

In a high-speed fiber-optic tranmission system, data streams are synchronized using fixed stuffing before being multiplexed for transmission. The fixed stuffing information is replaced with forward error correction (FEC) information, whereby FEC is effected without any increase in transmission speed. FEC information blocks of each data stream can be synchronized to the frame timing of the transmission system, or they can be relatively unsynchronized. In the latter case, an FEC decoder acts in a self-framing manner to synchronize itself to the FEC information blocks of the respective data stream.

The system uses a 3B2T line code, i.e. one in which sets of three or triplets of binary digits are converted into pairs or duplets of ternary elements. All nine of the possible ternary duplets are used, in such a way that the same ternary duplet does not occur twice consecutively. This is done in one version by using the ninth duplet 00 as a repeat indicator, and in the other version by a conversion process in which each conversion operation takes into account the result of the preceding operation.

In the monolithic integration of HFET and DOES devices, a wide band gap carrier confining semiconductor layer is provided only at predetermined locations where DOES devices are desired. This layer is not provided at other predetermined locations where HFET devices are desired as it would constitute a shunt path which would degrade the high frequency operation of the HFET devices. The invention is particularly useful where monolithic integration of optical sources, optical detectors, and electronic amplifying or switching elements is desired.

System and method are disclosed for collateral out-of-band messaging within the distributed data processing environment in a digital switch which has mainstream in-band data channels. The system comprises independent reset modules, which decode and recognize the out-of-band messages to effect emergency control functions of the distributed processors, such as resetting and jamming an insane processor.
