Abstract

The invention relates to an overvoltage protected high-voltage integrated circuit and a low-voltage integrated circuit with switching control for a hybrid circuit connected peripherally to a telephone exchange for serving telephone instruments. In particular it serves to provide battery feed, ringing voltage generation, and voice signal transmission. Essentially the circuit includes a transformer for transmission of high-frequency energy to the high-voltage circuit, which incorporates transfer of signal currents through four high-resistance, pair-organized symmetrical voltage dividers. The circuit further includes a ringing signal generating arrangement that is activated by means of a voltage increase applied to the high-voltage circuit supply voltage.
