Abstract
This amplifier biasing circuit is used in a telecommunication ring trip circuit to control the bias of a sense amplifier (SA) having input terminals (I1, I2) coupled to output terminals (A, B) of a Herter bridge (R0/R5) which is also coupled to a telecommunication line (L) and to a ringing signal source (RC). The bias circuit is a negative feedback loop coupled between terminals I1 and I1, I2 of SA and regulates the voltage at the latter terminals to a reference value when the input voltage on terminal I1 exceeds a predetermined value in one direction, by connecting a variable bias impedance (R6, PNP1, R7, PNP2) between the amplifier input terminals and VBAT.
