Abstract: A telephone line power utility circuit, in which direct-current power supplied through a telephone line-side is utilized as a power source for a line terminal device having a direct-current resistance, the telephone line power utility circuit including a DC-DC converter connected with the line terminal device for supplying the direct-current power to the line terminal device, the DC-DC converter having an input direct-current resistance; and a central processing unit (CPU), connected with the DC-DC converter, for obtaining a maximum input direct-current resistance of the DC-DC converter to increase the efficiency of receiving power of the DC-DC converter by allowing the direct-current resistance of the line terminal device, viewed from the telephone line-side, to satisfy a predetermined standard, controlling the duty ratio of the primary side switching element, and/or switching the taps of the primary side winding of the transformer of the DC-DC converter, such that the direct-current power supplied through t

Abstract: A signal separation circuit for separating direct current power on a telephone with a transistor. A CPU, which includes an A/D converter, is connected to detect the emitter-collector voltage of the transistor, and to control the base current of the transistor to maintain the emitter-collector voltage constant.
