    摘要: A method and apparatus for a telephone line interface or data access arrangement (DAA) which includes a shunt regulator in series with a line modulator. A sense resistor is placed in series between the shunt regulator and the line modulator to provide a measurement of the amount of current distortion in the DAA. The line modulator contains a Darlington pair which reduces the amount of current drawn by the line modulator, allowing the sense resistor to sense a majority of the system current. The voltage across the sense resistor is fed back to the line modulator. The line modulator is capable of adjusting the AC modulation and the DC termination presented to the telephone line. The method includes drawing power from the telephone line using a shunt regulator, modulating the telephone line in series with the shunt regulator, sensing a level of distortion in the DAA, and feeding the sensed level of distortion to the line modulator.

    摘要: A low power differential comparator wherein the input stage bias is used not only to set a bias level but is also used to set the hysteresis level of the differential comparator circuit. The positive and/or negative inputs to the differential comparator circuit are referred to ground to reduce the total DC current draw, e.g., by a factor of 7. The multiple use of the input stage bias and grounded connections to the positive and/or negative inputs reduce the overall current requirements of the differential comparator circuit substantially while maintaining full operating speed as compared to conventional differential comparator circuits. In one embodiment using the low power differential comparator circuit, a clock receiver implements hysteresis which is relatively independent from variations in environmental factors such as temperature, and from power supply variations. In this embodiment, the input stage of a low power comparator circuit is biased by the output of a bias circuit. The bias circuit, which in the disclosed embodiment is a regulated current source, may be started-up with the output of a start-up circuit if desired. In operation, when the temperature increases the bias current decreases, but the values of hysteresis resistors in the low voltage comparator also increase. Therefore, the resultant hysteresis value does not change appreciably.

    摘要: A circuit provides a modulation signal to an input terminal of a line modulator which places a line current modulated in accordance with the modulation signal on a telephone line. An amplifier of the circuit amplifies an analog input signal to provide the modulation signal at an output terminal. A first resistor and a first capacitor are coupled in series between a first input terminal of the amplifier and the line, and a second resistor and a second capacitor are coupled in series between a second input terminal of the amplifier and the line. First and second precharge amplifiers are used to precharge the first and second capacitors, respectively, to reduce DC setup time.

    摘要: A line powered data access arrangement (DAA) is disclosed which adaptively allows proper operation with power supplied from a telephone line as conditions warrant, while at the same time satisfying the relevant requirements of many countries. In the line powered codec, a startup procedure for the international line powered codec uses register settings, e.g., country-specific register settings, which are powered and maintained from the low voltage side (e.g., from the PC or modem side) of the line powered codec. In this way, even during low line power conditions the programmed state of the line powered codec can be maintained, thus a default condition will not necessarily returned to by the line powered codec upon reset due to a power loss in the telephone line. In another aspect, a charge storage device such as a charge capacitor is charged from a charge pump formed from a differential clock signal from the low voltage side. A current and voltage detection module in the line powered codec is always powered from the telephone line. Upon detection of an off-hook signal or a power down condition, the current detection module determines if/when the current and voltage on the telephone line is sufficient to power certain circuits on the line powered codec. If sufficient power is not present, the line powered codec does not power up. However, the line powered codec will power up if sufficient current is detected. In another aspect, a plurality of power rails may be provided. A first power rail may be associated with the line power, a second power rail may be associated with a low voltage side power source, e.g., a charge storage device. A third (and other) power rails may be switchably connected to either the first power rail or second power rail as line power conditions and on-hook/off-hook conditions warrant.
