The decentralized arbitration device of the invention comprises an arbitration unit associated with each processing unit. This arbitration unit comprises an individual elementary arbitrator and a level elementary arbitrator. Their outputs are connected to a comparator which compares their output signals with the code of the unit considered, which code is supplied by a coding identification circuit. The individual priority request terminals of the units in the same level are connected together and the level priority request terminals of all the units are connected together.

An arbiter cooperating with p.n processing units grouped into p levels each comprising n processing units. An elementary arbiter is assigned to each level, and a central arbiter attributes cyclically the priority to each level. The central arbiter comprises essentially a memory programmed for attributing a single priority to each level.

The invention relates to automatic outgoing and incoming channel balance and separation circuits between local telephone set lines and network junctors. The separation circuit associated with the telephone set lines possesses an electronic line feed circuit and a separator constituted by an operational amplifier whose output is connected via two equal resistors in series to one of the outputs of the electronic supply circuit, the junction of these two resistors being connected to the output of this separation circuit. The separation circuit associated with the junctor possesses two input amplifiers connected to the network via output resistors of equal value, one terminal of one of these output resistors being connected via a passive resistive and capacitative network to an operation amplifier, and the other terminal of this resistor being connected via a single resistor to this operational amplifier. Balance is provided for given values of the passive network components and for a given value of line impedance seen by the first separation circuit. The device possesses no adjustable components or transformers, and can be easily produced as an integrated circuit.
