  • Combination AC/DC peak detector and signal type discriminator
    Patent number: 8823417
    Abstract: A device and method for current detecting and discriminating is disclosed. The device includes a differential receiver configured to receive a current input, a positive-side Schmitt trigger in communication with the input stage, wherein the positive-side Schmitt trigger is configured to receive an output provided by the input stage, and wherein the positive-side Schmitt trigger is configured to create a positive-side Schmitt trigger output representative of the current input, and a negative-side Schmitt trigger in communication with the input stage, wherein the negative-side Schmitt trigger is configured to receive the output provided by the input stage, and wherein the negative-side Schmitt trigger is configured to create a negative-side Schmitt trigger output representative of the current input.

  • Single-supply single-ended high voltage peak detector
    Patent number: 8031452
    Abstract: A device for current detection is disclosed and includes a protection circuit having a current input provided via a positive input and a negative input arranged in parallel to the positive input, a pair of diodes communicatively coupling the positive input to the negative input, wherein the pair of diodes are configured to protect an operational amplifier from an overvoltage and negative voltages, and a peak detector in communication with the protection stage, wherein the peak detector is configured to receive an output provided by the operation amplifier of the protection stage, and wherein the peak detector is configured to create a peak detector output representative of the current input.
