A circuit arrangement for generating charge pulses during digital telecommunications is indicated, whereby subscribers (Tln) of a telephone network are connected by cables with an exchange. The subscriber telephones are connected by electric service lines to an interface unit that is connected to the exchange. The interface unit has a digital interface on the exchange side and at least one analog interface on the subscriber side. A generating circuit (3) is located in the interface unit and produces charge pulses as a function of signals transmitted by the exchange, the charge pulses being transmitted to the respective subscriber (Tln). When loop current flows through the electric circuit of each subscriber (Tln) telephone, the interface unit measures an input voltage that is proportional to the length of the service line. The thus gained voltage value is used to adjust the voltage level of the charge pulses produced by the generating circuit (3).

Circuit arrangement for generating charge pulses

A switching device is presented for the transmission of telecommunication signals between a telephone network exchange and at least one subscriber connected thereto, where the exchange is able to transmit metering pulses, in addition to the voice signal. The signals are transmitted as digital signals between the exchange and the subscriber via a two-wire line, Which is connected with the exchange through a hybrid switching unit. To prevent the metering pulses from interfering with the voice signals, a parallel resonant circuit consisting of an inductance and a capacitor is connected to the two-wire system of the hybrid switching unit, and the receiving branch of the hybrid switching unit has an active and a passive filter connected in series. The passive filter is adjusted for the metering pulse frequency, and a filter that is tuned to the passive filter is used as the active filter, which compensates for a decrease in the NF (low frequency) level caused by the passive filter, with a corresponding increase.
