摘要:
An enhanced subscriber line interface circuit for a digital switching system which includes a line configuration and protection circuit connection tot he subscriber line and to a thick-film hybrid module. The thick-film hybrid module comprises a high voltage interface circuit and a PCM conversion circuit. The high voltage interface circuit provides power to the subscriber line, converts received analog voice signals transmitted from the subscriber instrument into differential voltage voice signals and detects the subscriber lines status. The PCM conversion circuit is connected to the high voltage interface circuit and is disposed to convert received differential voice signals into PCM digital signals. A line control interface circuit receives control signals from a peripheral processor of the digital switching system, controls the operation of the circuits of the thick-film hybrid module, and receives subscriber line information from the high voltage interface circuit which it passes on to the peripheral processor. A time slot assignment circuit connected to the peripheral processor is arranged to develop and transmit to the PCM conversion circuit time slot assignment information and to connect the PCM digital signals from the enhanced subscriber line interface circuit to the digital switching system.

A hybrid balance and combination codec filter circuit used in a subscriber line interface circuit over which a connection is established between a digital switching network and a subscriber instrument. The hybrid balance and combination codec filter circuit in combination includes a transmit section that converts differential voltage audio signals representing voice transmissions transmitted from the subscriber instrument into Pulse Code Modulated (PCM) encoded digital data, for transmission to the digital switching network. A receive section converts PCM encoded digital data representing voice signals switched through the digital switching network into differential voltage audio signals for transmission to the subscriber instrument. An included hybrid balance and echo cancellation section connected between the transmit section and the receive section reshapes the audio band signals output by the receive section. The reshaped audio band signals are applied to the transmit section, where they cancel any reflected audio band signals not completely transferred to the terminating impedance. Finally, an impedance section provides an audio band feedback signal between the transmit section and the receive section for synthesizing a source impedance that is matched to the impedance of the tip and ring leads of the subscriber loop.

An enhanced high voltage line interface circuit for a digital switching system over which a connection is established between a digital switching system and a subscriber instrument via a subscriber loop. The high voltage line interface circuit includes in combination circuits that provide power to the subscriber loop and convert received analog voice signals transmitted from the subscriber instrument into differential voltage voice signals for subsequent conversion to digital data for use by the digital switching system. Additionally, differential voltage voice signals from the digital switching system are converted to analog voice signals for transmission along the subscriber loop to the subscriber instrument. The high voltage line interface circuit further includes circuits that detect and monitor the subscriber loop status and develop digital logic output signals that are used to report the status of the loop to a digital switching system controller.

A method of making a microelectronic package includes providing a substrate having a plurality of conductive leads at a first surface of the substrate. The conductive leads may have first ends permanently attached to the substrate and second ends remote from the terminal ends, the second ends being movable relative to the first ends of the leads. One or more microelectronic elements having contact bearing surfaces and back surfaces remote therefrom may be juxtaposed with the substrate and the contacts connected with the first ends of the leads. A substantially rigid plate may be attached to the back surfaces of the microelectronic elements. The substantially rigid plate may be moved to a precise height above the substrate to vertically extend the leads. While the plate is maintained at the precise height above the substrate, a spacer material is dispensed between the plate and the substrate. The spacer material is then at least partially cured for holding the plate at the precise height above the substrate.
