Abstract
Abstract An integrated circuit construction for a telephone subscriber station having a microphone amplifier and a receiving audio amplifier is described. An impedance bridge replaces the conventionally used hybrid transformer. The aforementioned amplifiers are constructed in integrated circuit form as differential amplifiers, which are excited in parallel by separate reference voltages produced from two constant currents generated in a common source.
