The present invention relates to a ring voltage generation circuit for
generating a ring voltage (VTR) between a TIP lead (9) and a RING lead
(10) with minimized power loss for electronic subscriber circuits,
comprising:a) an amplifier circuit (2) which receives an input voltage
(VI) for amplifying the input voltage (VI) to provide the ring voltage
(VTR); b) an absolute value generator (3) which receives the input
voltage (VI), measures an absolute value (|VI|) of the input voltage (VI)
and outputs the measured absolute value (|VI|) of the input voltage (VI);
c) a DC/DC converter (4) which receives the measured absolute value
(|VI|) of the input voltage (VI) and converts the measured absolute value
(|VI|) of the input voltage (VI) into a supply voltage (VSUPPLY) for the
amplifier circuit (2); and d) a common mode feedback device (5) which
receives the supply voltage (VSUPPLY), a TIP potential (VT) of the TIP
lead (9) and a RING potential (VR) of the RING lead (10) and which
generates thereof a control voltage (VC), whereas the common mode
feedback device (5) controls the amplifier circuit (2) by means of the
control voltage (VC)
