Abstract

In order to reduce the consumption of power of an isolator interface and an ADC, it is proposed to operate a calling signal reception or Caller ID signal reception function only with power supplied from the system switch while maintaining the on-hook condition of a telephone. At the time of normal operation, the output of the analogue digital converter is input to an isolator through the isolator interface, and at the time of the calling signal reception or the caller identification information reception, the output of the analogue digital converter is input directly to the isolator.
