ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling a supply current to a load, such as a telephone subscriber line, generates an output current responsive to the changes in the load according to a predetermined response profile, which is defined by a plurality of parameters and includes a first range extending from a lower load level to higher load level, and a second range extending above the higher load level. A first control circuit generates a first set of parameters establishing the response profile within the first range; a second control circuit generates a second set of parameters establishing the response profile within the second range; and an apportionate feed circuit apportions signals within the apparatus. The first control circuit receives a load indicating current and first reference current, establishes the lower load level, and cooperates with the apportionate feed circuit to impose a first set of the operational parameters in generating an output current within the first range. The second control circuit receives a load indicating current and a second reference current; establishes the higher load level; and cooperates with the first control circuit and the apportionate feed circuit to impose a second set of the operational parameters in generating the output current within the second range. At least one of the parameters is generated having a plurality of values presented at a plurality of nodes. Each of the nodes is programmably selectable for employment by the apparatus.
