    Abstract: An interface circuit is disposed between a generator of control signals and a plurality of electronic switches in order to produce boosted voltage signals corresponding to the control signals for activating the electronic switches. To avoid the use of a capacitor with a high capacitance and thus to reduce an area of the integrated circuit, the interface circuit includes a generator of activation signals and a plurality of voltage multipliers each having an input connected to an output of the control signal generator, an output connected to at least one terminal for activating an electronic switch and two control terminals connected to an activation signal generator. Each voltage multiplier includes MOS transistors operatively coupled in series between the input and the output. The MOS transistors operate in response to the activation signals to produce a boosted voltage on the capacitor.

    Abstract: A monolithically integrated AC coupling circuit is presented for DC uncoupling and AC coupling (typically in telephone applications) to an input signal. The AC coupler includes a high-pass filter having a first pole at a frequency well below a frequency of interest and a zero at zero frequency. The AC coupler also includes a pole/zero doublet between the frequency of the first pole and the frequency of interest. The frequency of the first pole for a specified error is increased by addition of the doublet. Because the frequency of the first pole is increased, the size of the required capacitors is decreased, enabling integration. An implementation of the circuit using switched capacitor techniques is described. An alternative circuit employing a unit gain interface is presented. The alternative circuit reduces the dynamic range and driving voltage requirements of its field-effect transistors.

    Abstract: A circuit is provided in telecommunication terminal equipment for splitting a limited supply of current received from a subscriber's line current among a plurality of functional circuits according to their priority rank. The circuit uses a differential pair of current delivering transistors and a special circuit to monitor the actual current of absorption of at least the functional circuit of highest rank to produce a control signal that is used for modifying the drive conditions of the current delivering transistors. All current exceeding the actual absorption needs of the highest rank functional circuit is distributed to the other functional circuits and the prior art practice of sinking unneeded current through a dissipative shunt voltage regulator associated with each functional circuit is avoided. This same principle may be advantageously applied also to functional circuits of progressively lesser rank of priority.

A switching stage is controlled by the differential output nodes of the second differential stage. A common source node of the switch stage is coupled to the output of the common mode measuring stage and to the differential output nodes of the differential input stage.

    Abstract: An operational amplifier frequency self-compensated with respect to closed-loop gain comprises a transconductance input stage and an amplifier output stage connected serially together to receive an input signal on at least one input terminal of the amplifier and generate an amplified signal on an output terminal of the amplifier. Provided between the input and output stages is an intermediate node which is connected to a compensation block to receive a frequency-variable compensation signal therefrom. The compensation block is coupled with its input to the input terminal of the amplifier. The compensation block is connected to receive at least the feedback signal. Preferably, the compensation signal is variable as a function of a gain value which is determined by the feedback circuit, and said variation of the compensation signal occurs in a relationship of inverse proportionality to the gain value.
