Abstract
A method for reducing frequency-related power losses in a telecommunication line interface circuit comprises operating a switching converter circuit at an optimum frequency. Determination of the optimum frequency is based upon a subscriber loop length. Particularly, the subscriber loop voltage is detected at a battery feed circuit of the line interface circuit, and used to access an optimum frequency stored in an initialized database. The optimum frequency information is received in the switching converter circuit, and determines its operating frequency.
