    Abstract: A PSE includes a PSE controller that performs a handshaking routine with any PDs connected to the data wire pairs and spare wire pairs and applies power to the data wire pairs and spare wire pairs, via a switch, if certain conditions are met. Two different levels of currents are supplied to different terminals of the PSE controller that are connected to the data wire pairs and the spare wire pairs, and the resulting voltages are measured. The voltages are used to determine the PD impedances at the ends of the data wire pairs and spare wire pairs to determine whether a PD is connected to the data wire pair, whether another PD is connected to the spare wire pair, or whether a single PD is connected to both the data wire pairs and the spare wire pairs.

    Abstract: A linear regulator integrated circuit may be formed having four external terminals including a voltage input (Vin) terminal, a voltage output (Vout) terminal, a Set terminal, and an operational amplifier (op amp) power terminal. A user connects an external resistor to the Set terminal for creating a reference voltage. An op amp controls a pass (or series transistor) to cause an output voltage at the Vout terminal to equal the reference voltage. The op amp has a first power supply terminal internally coupled to the Vin terminal and a second power supply terminal coupled to the op amp power terminal. The op amp power terminal allows a user to externally couple the op amp second power supply terminal to either the Vout pin (for high voltage applications), system ground (for medium voltage applications), or another voltage (to provide additional headroom in very low voltage applications).

    Abstract: A method and an ADC circuit use multiple SD modulations on an analog value and apply digital post-processing of the pulse density modulation (PDM) streams from the SD modulations obtaining a higher resolution in the digital output value for a given oversampling ratio. SD ADC does not face the constraint of conversion time doubling for each additional bit of resolution. In one implementation, an SD ADC includes conversions in SD phase and resolution-boosting phase. During SD phase, MSBs of the digital output value are generated from the sampled analog value using a first SD conversion. At the end of SD phase, the sampled analog value is reduced to “residual quantization error,” which remains in a capacitor of an integrator of SD ADC. In resolution-boosting phase, the LSBs of the digital output value are generated from residual quantization error using a second SD conversion that provides at least the LSBs.

    Abstract: A method and a circuit achieve fully isolated sampling of bipolar differential voltage signals. The isolated sampling network is suitable for applications in which sampling signals far outside of the supply voltages are desired. A sampling network of the present invention may sample a differential signal between voltages −VDSMAX and VDSMAX, even with common mode voltages that exceed the supply voltage (e.g., an input stage of an ADC). The bipolar isolated input sampling network may include a polarity comparator and sampling switches that operate as rectifiers. Rectification ensures that a unipolar sampling network needs only to sample signals of predetermined voltage levels.
