Abstract

A telephone network interface integrated circuit with digitally based loop current detection and digitally based ring signal detection. The ring signal detection includes discrimination with a cutoff frequency of about 13 Hz to distinguish ring signals from dialing signals. The discrimination includes filtration followed by triggering an oscillator for one time period and checking whether the number of oscillations exceeds a threshold.
