Abstract: Telephone subscriber connection system based on a ditital time-division switch. System of connecting telephone subscribers whose devices (2) are connected to junctors (6, 7) of a digital time-division switch (1) controlled by a central processor (5). Each junctor is identically connected to the switching network (4) of the switch by the same number of channels of a shared time-division multiplex link (LM0), all information concerning a junctor passing on these channels between the junctor and either another junctor or the central processor. The latter has direct access to the switching memory (17) of the switching network enabling it to read or write there directly. Requests addressed to the central processor (5) from the devices (2) connected to a junctor (6) are directly transmitted by this means to said central processor.

Abstract: A plurality of PCM signal samples destined for the same telephone set are transmitted over different respective time slots of a time divided transmission link serving the telephone set. Each sample destined for the telephone set is decoded during a single time slot, the resulting decoded pulses are added together once per frame, and the sum transmitted to the telephone set for a period which is equal to the duration of one frame. The summing unit is coupled firstly to the output of a digital-to-analog converter and secondly to the input of a hold circuit. Its main components are an operational amplifier and capacitors which are suitably connected by transistors.
