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 ...

This battery charger circuit differs from the norm in a number of ways, all of which make it difficult to understand. For this reason, I do not recommend it for the beginner. Repairing /revamping a ...

Because stationary batteries and 48VDC power systems serve as lifelines for telecommunication networks, the reliability of these systems is of the utmost importance. Many system designers rely on ...

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 ...

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 ...
