    Abstract: An output terminal of a signal output device is connected through a branch path to a voltage dividing point in a main path, and transmits an output signal based on a voltage of the voltage dividing point to an outside. A signal generation circuit adjusts the voltage of the voltage dividing point and generates the output signal. A short circuit detection circuit detects a short circuit between the output terminal and another terminal when a current flowing in the branch path is greater than a predetermined short circuit detection threshold. A switching circuit switches a current carrying capacity or a configuration of the signal generation circuit to limit a short circuit current flowing in the branch path when the short circuit is detected. The short circuit current is set to a value equal to or greater than the short circuit detection threshold and less than a current upper limit value.

    Abstract: A signal output device is provided in a communication apparatus. The communication apparatus communicates with a different one of the communication apparatus using a single line. The signal output device includes a signal output unit. The signal output unit includes a first filter and a second filter. The first filter is provided by a Bessel filter. The second filter is provided by a Chebyshev filter or a Butterworth filter. The signal output unit outputs a signal which is obtained by passing a predetermined signal through the first filter and the second filter. The signal output from the signal output unit has a pass characteristic of the first filter and a pass characteristic of the second filter. A cutoff frequency of the first filter is set to be lower than a cutoff frequency of the second filter.

    Abstract: An insulated communication system includes a communication controller that sets communication data to a communication symbol through a numeral system and executes insulated communication through an insulator by adopting the communication symbol. The numeral system includes multiple states having a positive state, a negative state and a zero state. The positive state is represented by at least one positive integer, and the negative state is represented by at least one negative integer. The zero state is represented by zero being a level without generating current consumption. An absolute value of the at least one positive integer and an absolute value of the at least one negative integer are identical to each other. The communication controller sets an initial section of the communication data in the communication symbol to the positive state or the negative state, and sets a following section of the communication data to one of the multiple states.

    Abstract: In a pulse edge detection circuit, a measurement circuit has a comparator provided therein which compares a voltage with a reference voltage and outputs a pulse signal. An RSFF puts a signal in a high level at a timing at which detecting a rise edge due to a change of the pulse signal to the high level. In such manner, a set signal of an RSFF becomes inactive and a reset signal of the RSFF becomes active, and a fall edge of the pulse signal becomes detectable. When a fall edge is generated due to a change of the pulse signal from the high level to the low level, the set signal of the RSFF becomes active, and a signal becomes high level.

    Abstract: A communication apparatus operates with a supply voltage of a power and transmits a sensor value with a digital communication method using consecutive frames. In the communication apparatus, a data source unit is configured to generate a frame using a data of a sensor value processed by a signal processing unit. A switching unit is configured to perform a signal switching to permit a transmission circuit to perform a re-transmission of re-transmitting a signal including the sensor value stored in a memory in response to a restoration of the power after an instantaneous power interruption. A frame monitoring unit is configured to monitor a status of a frame transmission and determine a frame at the occurrence of the instantaneous power interruption. The sensor value to be re-transmitted is determined based on information of the frame determined by the frame monitoring unit at the occurrence of the instantaneous power interruption.
