Zusammenfassung:A circuit (1) for developing an AC ringing voltage from a PBX DC line voltage supply applied across a positive main terminal (2) and ground terminal (3) comprises a H-bridge circuit (8) which includes a bridge circuit (7) having four first transistors (Q1 to Q4) which are operated by four second transistors (Q5 to Q8) under the control of a microprocessor (20). The DC supply voltage is applied across input terminals (5,6) of the bridge circuit (7) through an input circuit (15) and an output circuit (17). The microprocessor (20) controls the operation of the second transistors (Q5 to Q8) for in turn selectively and alternately switching the first transistors (Q1 to Q4) in pairs, namely, (Q1 and Q2, and Q3 and Q4) for alternately reversing the voltage on output terminals (10,11) of the bridge circuit (7) for developing the AC ringing voltage for applying to a telephone (14) through an extension line (12). A detecting circuit comprising a first resistor (R8) and a second resistor (R3) facilitates detection of the on and off-hook state of the telephone (14) by the microprocessor (20).
