A subscriber line interface circuit apparatus includes a linefeed circuit
and a subscriber line control circuit (SLCC). In an embodiment, the
linefeed circuit includes a signal conversion circuit which provides a
differential mode signal and a common mode signal in response to at least
the tip signal and the ring signal from the subscriber loop. The linefeed
circuit includes a tip control circuit and a ring control circuit. In an
embodiment, the SLCC is provided in a single integrated circuit chip and
is coupled to the linefeed circuit which isolates the SLCC from the tip
or ring signals. The SLCC includes a first and a second differential mode
inputs for receiving the differential mode signal, and a common-mode
input for receiving the common-mode signal. In an embodiment, the SLCC
also provides various tip and ring control signals to the tip control
circuit and the ring control circuit, respectively.
