Abstract:
Systems, devices, methods, and techniques for bus receivers operable to provide a data output corresponding to a voltage differential provided on a two-conductor data bus. In one example, a bus receiver comprises a four-quadrant input circuit and a gain stage coupled to the four-quadrant input circuit. In various examples, the four-quadrant input circuit is operable to provide common mode current compensation based on a common mode voltage present on the two-conductor data bus.

Claim (Index 38):
A communication system comprising:\n a serial bus comprising a first conductor and a second conductor configured as a controller area network (CAN) bus; and a plurality of controller areas network (CAN) nodes coupled the CAN bus, wherein at least one of the CAN nodes comprising a transceiver configured to receive data received from the CAN bus and convert the received data to signal levels usable by a control area network (CAN) controller coupled to the transceiver, and to convert data received from the CAN controller into data signals acceptable for transmission by the CAN bus, wherein the transceiver comprises a bus receiver comprising: an input stage comprising a four-quadrant input circuit, the four-quadrant input circuit including a first current input configured to be coupled to a first conductor of the two-conductor communication bus and a second current input configured to be coupled to a second conductor of the two-conductor communication bus,\n wherein the four-quadrant input circuit is configured to receive a first current at the first current input from the first conductor and receive a second current at the second current input from the second conductor, and output a first differential voltage based on a difference in current flows between the first current and the second current, and output a second differential voltage based on the difference in current flows between the first current and the second current; and \n a gain stage coupled to the four-quadrant input circuit,\n wherein the gain stage is configured to receive the first differential voltage and the second differential voltage, generate a first current output based on the first differential voltage, generate a second current output based on the second differential voltage, and output a summed current comprising the first current output and the second current output that is indicative of either a first data state or a second data state present on the serial bus.
