  • Differential integrated input circuit
    Patent number: 8692583
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for a differential integrated input circuit. The apparatus includes n-type semiconductor devices and p-type semiconductor devices. The p-type semiconductor devices are cross-coupled with the n-type semiconductor devices. Each of the p-type semiconductor devices biases a corresponding n-type semiconductor device.
    Type: Grant

  • Interference-tolerant communication circuit
    Patent number: 8368432
    Abstract: An interference-tolerant transmitter is provided. In accordance with various example embodiments, a transmitter circuit includes a control circuit configured to maintain the sum of current as applied to a load from respective high-side and low-side current sources at a target level (e.g., range). In some applications, clamp circuits are used to clamp current to high and low sides of the load respectively in response to changes at the low-side and high-side of the load.
