Abstract

A circuit is disclosed for the transmission of digital signals on a bifilary line, especially a telephone line. The circuit disclosed is a so-called S interface circuit which has to produce digital signals within certain set limits. The proposed circuit uses four differential amplifiers, each controlling an output transistor (N-channel MOS transistors and P-channel MOS transistors). The amplifiers receive feedback to maintain the overvoltages within acceptable limits. The invention applies especially to the setting up of integrated service digital telephone networks.
