Abstract

A subscriber line interface circuit comprises a balanced amplifier having positive and negative inputs for amplifying a voltage thereacross to generate a pair of mutually complementary voltages across true and complementary outputs. Four resistors of a first value are respectively connected between a subscriber tip line and the negative input, between a subscriber ring line and the positive input, between the negative input and true output and between the positive input and complementary output. Two resistors of a second value smaller than the impedance of the subscriber loop are respectively connected between the tip line and the complementary output and between the ring line and the true output. A DC feedback circuit is connected to the complementary output to generate a DC feedback signal according to a desired variable DC power feeding characteristic. An AC feedback circuit generates an AC feedback signal proportional to a differential voltage across the tip and ring lines and inversely proportional to a desired AC impedence. The DC and AC feedback signals are combined in a circuit which supplies to the negative input a current corresponding to the combined signals.
