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 6):
A method as claimed in  claim 5 , comprising providing secondary paths to a common node, the secondary paths having deliberately different impedances, such that in the event of disconnection of the sensor from sensor from one or both differential signal input nodes, secondary paths introduce a common mode gain.
