Abstract

A method of calibrating longitudinal balance for a subscriber line interface circuit includes providing a first and a second driver of a differential driver pair for driving a subscriber line. An output of each of the first and second drivers is coupled to a common output. The common output is coupled to an input of the first driver. The gain of at least one of the first and second drivers is adjusted until a calibration signal (V) present at the input of the first driver is substantially the same as a calibration signal (V) present at the input of the second driver.
