Abstract: A transceiver that may be implemented in low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) transmission system or a multipoint LVDS transmission system, and corresponding systems are disclosed herein. The transceiver can filter a common-mode component of a differential input signal input into the transceiver while maintaining a high impedance for a differential-mode component of the differential input signal. The transceiver utilizes teeter-totter circuitry to maintain the high impedance for the differential-mode component of the differential input signal.

Abstract: A bus driver is provided that can withstand over voltages being applied to its output terminal without the protection circuit detracting from the voltage swing that can be provided by the driver. The circuit arrangement also allows transistors having good on state resistance and large tolerance of drain-to-source voltages to be used.

Abstract: Junction-isolated blocking voltage devices and methods of forming the same are provided. In certain implementations, a blocking voltage device includes an anode terminal electrically connected to a first p-well, a cathode terminal electrically connected to a first n-well, a ground terminal electrically connected to a second p-well, and an n-type isolation layer for isolating the first p-well from a p-type substrate. The first p-well and the first n-well operate as a blocking diode. The blocking voltage device further includes a PNPN silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) associated with a P+ region formed in the first n-well, the first n-well, the first p-well, and an N+ region formed in the first p-well. Additionally, the blocking voltage device further includes an NPNPN bidirectional SCR associated with an N+ region formed in the first p-well, the first p-well, the n-type isolation layer, the second p-well, and an N+ region formed in the second p-well.
