    摘要: A differential bus network, in general, or a controller area network (CAN) driver, in particular, controls and minimizes the variation on the common-mode signal of the CAN bus. This CAN driver also provides improved symmetry between its differential output signals, CANH and CANL, and provides protection for its low voltage devices from voltage transients occurring on its output lines. The common-mode signal is sensed and buffered, then during the dominant to recessive transition, the bus signals are shorted to the buffered common mode voltage. Specifically, additional switches or transistors are used to pull the differential output signals, CANH and CANL, to the common mode signal VCM when the state of the CAN bus transitions from dominant to recessive. This improvement minimizes high frequency spikes in the common-mode signal and eliminates DC shifts during transitions of the state of the CAN bus. A driver system may include a plurality of CAN drivers are serially interconnected to form a driver system, wherein each downstream driver stage receives a time-delayed form of the digital input signal TxD, each stage providing a time-delayed contribution to the differential output signals of the overall driver system.

    摘要: A high voltage output stage amplifier that maximizes the output voltage swing when the peak-to-peak output voltage signal is higher than the supply voltage used in the signal conditioning circuits of the amplifier. The amplifier allows the maximum peak-to-peak swing on the output stage by shifting the quiescent voltage of the output stage to the midpoint of the output supply voltage. The shift is accomplished by tapping an offset current at the input of the error integrating stage of the amplifier proportional to the difference in the two power supply voltages.

    摘要: A CAN receiver architecture design that provides better immunity against EMI interference than conventional designs is disclosed herein. This CAN receiver includes a voltage divider network connected to a front-end amplifier for dividing down the input signal from a two wire line by a predetermined amount and amplifying the signal by the same predetermined amount. The front-end amplifier generates the common-mode voltage of the input signal for a reference generator that determines the logic level of the incoming signal and subtracts a bandgap voltage reference from the common-mode voltage. A comparator compares the difference between the output of the front-end amplifier and the resultant signal generated by the reference generator to generate an output signal for the receiver. This CAN receiver architecture is faster than conventional designs and possesses an improved common-mode rejection, while operating over a wide input common mode range.

    摘要: System and method for controlling current across a load. A preferred embodiment comprises a current varying circuit (such as current varying circuit 525) that can create a sequence of voltage drops in a driver circuit (such as the driver circuit 505) coupled to an inductive load (such as the inductive load 535). By initially producing a large voltage drop and then stepping the voltage drop down gradually, the current in the inductive load can be rapidly removed without producing a current undershoot, which, in certain applications, can result in unwanted noise and vibration.
