Abstract

A circuit and method for isolating a subscriber line interface circuit ("SLIC") from the ringer generator in a telephone system. The circuit uses a gain blocking device to provide a signal gain when the ringer generator is not being utilized and to provide a high impedance when a ringer signal is present. The high impedance may be provided through an amplifier circuit which is tri-stated when the amplifier is not energized.
