Abstract
A subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) for a subscriber loop includes a pair of output amplifiers for connection to the subscriber loop and a transient output current limit circuit. The transient output current limit circuit may have at least one programmable output current limit and limit respective output currents from the pair of output amplifiers based thereon. The transient output current limit circuit may limit both source and sink currents for each of the pair of output amplifiers.
