    摘要: In one embodiment, a method of communicating data values over a three conductor interface is provided. Different data values are transmitted by generating and transmitting three respective signals to a receiver using three conductors. The first signal is maintained as a set voltage level. The second signal is alternated between a high voltage and a low voltage according to a carrier frequency. The third signal is alternated between the high and low voltages and is out of phased with the second signal. To transmit a first data value, the first signal is generated on a first conductor, the second signal is generated on a second conductor, and the third signal is generated on a third conductor. To transmit a second data value, the second signal is generated on the first conductor, the first signal is generated on the second conductor, and the third signal is generated on the third conductor.

    摘要: Line driver for a LIN-bus. The line driver has a current source output transistor (T1) for pulling down the LIN-bus wire (LB) to ground (GND). The LIN-bus wire (LB) is connected to a positive supply voltage (VBAT) through a pull-up resistor (R1). The output transistor (T1) is driven by a driver stage (DRV) in response to an input current (J1) at an input node (X). The driver stage has a further resistor (R2) connected between the gate of the output transistor (T1) and a reference terminal (GND), a reference transistor (T2) which has its source connected to the reference terminal (GND) and its drain coupled to the input node (X); the gates of the output transistor (T1) and the reference transistor (T2) are connected to an output (DAO1) of a differential amplifier (DA1) which has an inverting input (DAN1) coupled to a bias voltage source (E2) and a non-inverting input (DAP1) coupled to the input node (X). The further resistor (R2) stage provides a low-impedance path to ground for RF disturbances reaching the gate of the output transistor (T1) through the drain-gate capacitance of the output transistor (T1) and prevents these disturbances from penetrating the driver stage.

    摘要: The common mode component in the difference signal on the bus terminals (2, 4) of a CAN bus is counteracted by four transistors (M1-M4) connected between the supply terminals (28, 32) and a center tap (16) of a voltage divider (6A, 6B, 8, 10, 12A, 12B) between the bus terminals (2, 4). As a result of this, the voltage on the center tap (16) varies to a substantially smaller extent or not at all. Thus, it is possible to use a simpler differential amplifier (20) having a smaller common mode swing at the inputs (22, 24). Moreover, the attenuation factor selected for the voltage divider can be smaller, as a result of which a higher difference voltage is available for the differential amplifier (20).

    摘要: Bus driver having a P-channel output transistor (T1) for driving a first bus terminal (6) from a positive supply terminal (2), an N-channel output transistor (T2) for driving a second bus terminal (12) from a negative supply terminal (4), a P-channel driver transistor (T3) and an N-channel driver transistor (T4) series connected between the positive (2) and the negative (4) supply terminal. The control electrodes of the P-channel transistors (T1, T3) are interconnected and the control electrodes of the N-channel transistors (T2, T4) are interconnected to obtain a fixed relationship between the currents through the P-channel transistors (T1, T3) and through the N-channel transistors (T2, T4). The conduction of the driver transistors (T3, T4) is controlled by two floating control voltage sources (22, 24) which are connected between the interconnection node (20) of the driver transistors (T3, T4) and the respective control electrodes of the driver transistors. Any difference between the current through the P-channel driver transistor (T3) and the N-channel driver transistor (T4) is compensated for by a change in the voltage level at the interconnection node (20). In this way the currents through the driver transistors (T3, T4), and also through the output transistors (T1, T2) which are scaled copies of the driver transistors, are always equal and a highly symmetrical driving of the two bus wires (8, 14) is obtained. As a result, the electromagnetic radiation of the bus wires is low.

    摘要: A balanced voltage-to-current converter has two cells. Each cell has a first input terminal coupled to a first current source via a diode-connected first transistor and to an output terminal via the main current path of a third transistor, and a second input terminal coupled to a second (controllable) current source via the main current path of a second transistor. The control electrode of the third transistor is connected to the node between the second current source and the second transistor. The first input terminal of one of cell is connected to the second input terminal of the other cell and vice versa. The quiescent current through the third transistor is controlled by a differential amplifier which compares the voltage difference between the control electrode and a first main electrode of the third transistor with a reference voltage which is representative of the current through the third transistor. The output signals of the differential amplifiers are summed in an adder and are applied to control inputs of the second current sources.
