Abstract
Abstract A loop-circuit for a telephone line is provided that includes a transistor having a first electrode directly connected to one of the wires of the line, a second electrode connected to the other of the wires of the line by means of a resistor, a gate electrode thereof being connected via a resistor to one of the wires of the line, and by means of a capacitor to the other wire of the line, wherein a switch is arranged to cut-off the transistor and another switch is arranged or provided to disconnect one of the plates of the capacitor from the rest of the circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A loop-circuit for a telephone line comprising a gyrator circuit consisting of a transistor of which a first electrode is directly connected to one of the wires of the line, of which a second electrode is connected to the other of the wires of the line via a resistor, of which the gate electrode is connected via a resistor to said one of the wires of the line, and via a capacitor to said other wire of the line, characterized in that a switch (SC2) directly connected between the gate electrode of said transistor (T1) and said other wire of the line is arranged responsive to a signal cutting off said transistor (T1), and that another switch (SC1) directly connected between said capacitor (C1) and said other wire of the line is arranged responsive to a signal disconnecting one of the plates of said capacitor (C1) from the rest of the circuit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A loop-circuit for a telephone line comprising a gyrator circuit consisting of a transistor of which a first electrode is directly connected to one of the wires of the line, of which a second electrode is connected to the other of the wires of the line via a resistor, of which the gate electrode is connected via a resistor to said one of the wires of the line, and via a capacitor to said other wire of the line, characterized in that a switch (SC2) directly connected between the gate electrode of said transistor (T1) and said other wire of the line is arranged responsive to a signal cutting off said transistor (T1), and that another switch (SC1) directly connected between said capacitor (C1) and said other wire of the line is arranged responsive to a signal disconnecting one of the plates of said capacitor (C1) from the rest of the circuit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A loop-circuit as defined in claim 1, characterized in that said transistor (T1) is realized according to the V-MOS technology
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A loop-circuit as defined in claim 1, characterized in that said switch (SC2) is an optocoupler comprising, particularly, a phototransistor (TL3) whose emitter-collector circuit is directly connected between the gate electrode of said transistor (T1) and said other wire of the line (LR).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A loop-circuit as defined in claim 1, characterized in that the other switch (SC1) is a two-way switch realized by means of two optocouplers (OC1, OC2) of which the phototransistors (TL1, TL2) are series - connected - oppositely - poled with the capacitor (C1).
