    • An improved videofax system for displaying a video image from a digital memory, while the digital memory is being updated with data representing a new image and received from a standard telephone line or other communication channel with relatively slow data access time. A video processor circuit uses a first digital counter to increment the address of a digital memory sequentially and load the stored data to a digital-to-analog converter for display of the resulting analog composite signal on a standard monitor. The video processor uses the address provided by a second digital counter to temporarily switch the digital memory address provided by the first counter and sequentially update the digital memory with new data received from a modem, a microcontroller, or any other data storage components with slow access time, enabling a user to view the new image as it overwrites the old image with a sense of continuity between the old image and the new image.

    • A telephone answering device (TAD) includes a remote access mode which is operative responsive to dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signals. At least three bandpass filters each receive an input signal from a telephone line interface provided in the TAD. A software controlled sampling section receives outputs from all the bandpass filters for sampling outputs from the bandpass filters, the sampling section including a multiplexer which receives the outputs from all of the bandpass filters, and a peak hold circuit coupled to an output of the multiplexer. An analog-to-digital converter receives an output from the peak hold circuit, and a digital controller receives the output of the analog-to-digital converter for controlling operations of the TAD in a remote access mode responsive to the detected DTMF signals. First and second ones of the bandpass filters have respective center frequencies corresponding to frequencies of respective DTMF signals and a third bandpass filter has a different center frequency. The absence of an output from the third filter confirms that there is no noise or other undesirable signals that would indicate that an incoming signal is not a DTMF signal. At least one of the bandpass filters preferably is a switched capacitor filter having a center frequency which is switchable between at least two different center frequencies. At least the bandpass filters, multiplexer, peak hold circuit and analog-to-digital converter are all included in a single application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

    • A simple, low-cost videophone system for transmitting and receiving still video images over a standard telephone line in response to a user command. A video processor circuit, comprising an A/D converter, a digital memory, a digital timing circuit, and a D/A converter, can grab a video image from a standard video camera and store one-half the number of lines of a video frame in the digital memory. A still video image can be displayed in a standard TV monitor by repeatedly sending the data stored in the digital memory to the D/A converter. The data stored in the digital memory can be transmitted using a standard modem to the digital memory of an equivalent system at a remote location, and the same still video image can be displayed at the remote location within a short time. Data compression is accomplished during transmission by decreasing the number of significant bits of the data being transmitted and using standard protocols adopted by the modem. Voice communication on the telephone line is temporarily suspended while data is transmitted, and automatically resumed when transmission is complete.

    • In an electronic inductor circuit, an operational amplifier drives the base of the electronic inductor transistor, and receives negative feedback from the emitter of the transistor. The transistor and operational amplifier combine to form a voltage-controlled, current source (VCCS) with respect to the loop current. A voltage divider connected across the rectified Tip and Ring voltage (or another node of the circuit at an equivalent voltage) provides a DC reference to the positive input of the operational amplifier, so that the line current automatically increases with an increase in line voltage. A capacitor couples the transmit signal driver to the positive input of the operational amplifier. This electronic inductor circuit can be driven using a low voltage supply and provides sufficient linearity for high-speed modem applications.

    • Using a telephone line interface circuit with negative feedback, it is possible to control the current through the circuit so that the ratio of the voltage applied across the circuit to the current is the desired value of impedance. Voltage feedback from the line controls the current through the circuit, thereby reflecting a “virtual” impedance to the telephone line. By adequately filtering the voltage feedback, the reflected impedance to the line can be adjusted to any desired impedance function, without using the actual values of the impedance. The circuit is thus ideally suited for applications in which the impedance values need to be varied depending upon the characteristics of the telephone system.

    • A data access arrangement (DAA) having improved surge protection. The DAA incorporates a high voltage clamping device functioning to protect line side circuitry from signal paths created by EMI capacitors. In one embodiment of the invention, EMI capacitors are added between the “plus” and “minus” terminals of the diode bridge of the DAA to balance and reduce noise injection onto the TIP and RING lines. These EMI capacitors also reduce EMI interference. However, by adding EMI capacitors on this side (the “rectified side” or “line side”) of the diode bridge, a high voltage signal path to earth ground is created that may have deleterious effects on the line side circuitry. To effectively negate undesirable signal paths through the EMI capacitors, the DAA includes a high voltage clamping device (e.g., a MOV, SIDACTor™, gas discharge tube or similar device) disposed between the plus and minus terminals of the diode bridge for suppressing high voltage spikes. The high voltage clamping device limits the voltage seen by the line side circuitry as a result of high voltage longitudinal surges by providing a current path from the plus terminal to the minus terminal of the diode bridge, thereby effectively bypassing the line side circuitry. The present invention recognizes and takes advantage of the fact that the diodes of a typical diode bridge are capable of withstanding the peak currents associated with most voltage surges.
    • 具有改善的浪涌保护的数据访问装置(DAA)。 DAA集成了一个高压钳位装置,用于保护线路侧电路不受EMI电容器产生的信号路径的影响。 在本发明的一个实施例中,在DAA的二极管桥的“正”和“负”端之间增加了EMI电容器,以平衡和减少对TIP和RING线路的噪声注入。 这些EMI电容器还可以降低EMI干扰。 然而,通过在二极管电桥的这一侧(“整流侧”或“线路侧”)上添加EMI电容器,产生了对接地的高电压信号路径,这可能对线路侧电路产生有害影响。 为了有效地消除通过EMI电容器的不期望的信号路径,DAA包括设置在二极管桥的正负端之间的高压钳位装置(例如,MOV,SIDACTor TM,气体放电管或类似装置),用于抑制 高电压尖峰。 高电压钳位装置通过提供从二极管桥的正极端子到负端子的电流路径来限制由于高压纵向浪涌而由线路侧电路所看到的电压,从而有效地绕过线路侧电路。 本发明识别和利用了典型二极管电桥的二极管能够承受与大多数电压浪涌相关的峰值电流的事实。
