Patent Classification: ["330", "258000"]

Abstract:
It is often desirable to distinguish between an open circuit condition and a no signal condition. In both cases an input signal may be absent, but only one of these events represents a failure of the equipment. The present disclosure provides a way to use a difference amplifier to check for open circuit events, without requiring additional circuitry at the input of the amplifier.

Claim (Index 2):
A method as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising using a relative change in magnitudes of the modulation of the common mode voltage at the output and the magnitude of the changes in the differential output to estimate the channel imbalance.
