Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention is a power generator which provides a power waveform for applying power to ringing circuits and message-waiting lamps (Ring/MWL) in standard analog telephones in a PBX and which power generator reduces power dissipation. In particular, an embodiment of the inventive power generator includes: (a) a controller which generates a low-level signal representing the power waveform and a timing and control signal indicative of various portions of the low-level analog signal; (b) a circuit, responsive to the timing and control signal, which alters the output of a power supply; and (c) a power amplifier, responsive to the low-level signal and the output of the power supply, which amplifies the low-level signal to produce the power waveform.
