  • Decoupling unit for bus systems that blocks abnormal dominant signals from passing between connected bus systems
    Patent number: 6996649
    Abstract: A decoupling unit for two bus systems connected with each other includes a connecting circuit between two interface circuits. The first interface circuit has ports for one of the two bus systems and a bidirectional data port for the connecting circuit. The second interface circuit has ports for the other bus system and a bidirectional data port for the connecting circuit. The connecting circuit includes a filter for blocking abnormal dominant signals and passing normal signals between the bus systems.
