Abstract
A line terminator (1) having a circuit board (8) with at least three circuits, and including a voltage regulator (2) combined with a voltage divider circuit and a noise reduction circuit path (17). The noise reduction circuit path (17) is coupled to two spaced apart high frequency capacitors (28a,28b), and the noise reduction path is apportioned to extend equally between the pair of spaced apart capacitors (28a,29b) and generally circumscribe the remaining circuits of the circuit board (8).
Claims21
A line terminator comprising:
- a circuit board having at least three circuits and being provided with a voltage regulator combined with a voltage divider circuit and a noise reduction circuit having a circuit path generally circumscribing remaining circuits of the circuit board and coupled to two spaced apart high frequency capacitors, and the path length is apportioned to extend equally between the pair of spaced apart high frequency capacitors,
- whereby high frequency noise and voltage spikes are shunted to ground.
A line terminator comprising:
- a voltage regulator, and a voltage divider circuit on a circuit board having at least three circuits, both said voltage regulator and said voltage divider circuit being coupled to a circuit path supplying input voltage from the voltage regulator, wherein the circuit path extends on the circuit board generally circumscribing remaining circuits of the circuit board and is apportioned to extend equally between a pair of spaced apart high frequency capacitors, and the high frequency capacitors are connected between the circuit path and ground,
