  • Noise detection circuit
    Patent number: 9835666
    Abstract: A noise detection circuit 100 for a power supply, the noise detection circuit 100 comprising: an impedance element 110 connected to a line 104 for carrying a power supply current having a noise signal component, the noise signal comprising a common mode noise signal and a differential mode noise signal; a filter element 112 coupled to the impedance element 110 and configured to suppress the differential mode noise signal in the noise detection circuit 110; and an evaluation circuit 140 coupled to the impedance element 110 or the filter element 112 and arranged to sense the common mode noise signal and provide an output representative of the common mode noise signal.

  • Noise sensor
    Patent number: 9506969
    Abstract: A common mode noise sensor with a single amplification path is disclosed. The common mode noise sensor includes first and second terminals for receiving respective first and second signals from a power supply, an amplifier stage connected to the first and second terminals and having an output and a resistor network connected to the amplifier stage. The resistor network is arranged such that the output of the amplifier stage is configured to provide an output signal in which a differential mode noise in the first and second signals is suppressed in preference to a common mode noise in the first and second signals.

  • Noise sensor
    Patent number: 9429611
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a noise sensor for an alternating or direct current power supply. The sensor comprises a noise sensing unit and a noise separator. The noise separator is configured to receive first, second and third input signals and provide a first output signal representative of the common mode noise and a second output signal representative of the differential mode noise. The noise sensing unit comprises a first capacitive element, a second capacitive element, a first resistive element and a second resistive element.
