Abstract: Apparatus and methods for a difference amplifier are provided. In certain examples, the difference amplifier can provide high common mode rejection without differential signal attenuation. In an example, a difference amplifier circuit can include first and second amplifiers, first and second buffer amplifiers, a first feedback voltage divider coupled between an output of the first buffer amplifier and an output of the second amplifier, and a second feedback voltage divider coupled between an output of the second buffer amplifier and an output of the first amplifier.

Abstract: Techniques for duplex communication and power transfer across an isolator are provided. In an example, a first transceiver coupled to a first side of an isolator can include a transmit modulator configured to receive first data and timing signals, to provide control signals to oscillate an output of the transceiver to transmit power and to order each half-cycle of an oscillation cycle of the output to transmit the first data. A second transceiver coupled to a second side of the isolator can include a receive detection circuit configured to compare a received oscillation cycle with a plurality of thresholds and to provide a plurality of comparator outputs indicative of reception of the positive half-cycle and the negative half-cycle, and a receive decoder configured to identify the order of half-cycles and to provide an output indicative of logic level of the first data.

Abstract: An Ethernet or other communications module can amplify and reinforce a signal received from a non-local source without requiring a transformer or other magnetic component. A semiconductor integrated difference amplifier circuit can be used to amplify and reinforce a differential mode component of the received signal, while also attenuating a common mode component of the received signal. A transmission compensation network can generate a phase-shifted version of a locally transmitted signal being placed on the same communication terminals as the received signal during full duplex communications, for cancellation of such locally transmitted signal at inputs of a local receiver circuit. This can enhance detection of the received signal generated by the non-local source.
