  • Patent number: 5535272
    Abstract: A sensor circuit for telephone line (10) includes a detection coil (12a) inserted in a telephone line (14). The coil generates a magnetic flux according to a line current which flows in the telephone line. A magnetic sensor (12b) such as a Hall element generates a voltage signal in response to the magnetic flux. An output of the magnetic sensor is amplified by an amplifier (16). A calling signal detection circuit (18) which receives an output of the amplifier includes a capacitor (20) for cutting-off a direct current component included in the amplified output. An alternating current component is inputted to a (-) input of a hysteresis comparing circuit (22) which receives a reference voltage (Vref1) at a (+) input thereof. Therefore, the alternating current component is converted into a pulse signal which is then withdrawn at an output terminal (34) as a calling signal for ringing a bell of a telephone set.

  • Patent number: 5311587
    Abstract: A sensor circuit for telephone line includes a detection coil (52) inserted in a telephone line (22). The coil generates a magnetic flux according to a line current which flows in the telephone line. A magnetic sensor (54) such as a Hall element generates a voltage signal in response to the magnetic flux. An output of the magnetic sensor is applied to a comparing circuit (58) and a tone deriving circuit (60) via an amplifier (56). The comparing circuit includes two comparators one of which compares the voltage signal from the magnetic sensor with a first reference voltage (V1) and the other of which compares the output signal with a second reference voltage (V2), so that a line current supervisory signal is outputted from the comparing circuit. The tone deriving circuit includes a band-pass filter and derives a tone signal from the voltage signal of the magnetic sensor.
