SAIC Motor has been granted a patent for a bidirectional isolated communication circuit and method for a differential signal. The circuit includes detection circuits for converting differential pairs ...

Modern measurement systems often operate with single 5-V power supplies, yet their input signals may have large common-mode voltages that exceed the supply by tens or hundreds of volts. Also, unless ...

Circuit designers often encounter the adverse effects of common-mode noise on a design. Once a common-mode problem is identified, there are several ways that it can be resolved. Circuit designers ...

As many of our customers know, Touchstone Semiconductor develops a line of high-performance, high-side current-sense amplifiers. As background, high-side current-sense amplifiers have been around ...

According to IEEE/ANSI Standard C62.41-1991 (formerly IEEE Standard 587), Recommended Practice on Surge Voltages in Low-Voltage AC Power Circuits, the worst normal mode surge expected inside a ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...
