Abstract

See full text

An interface circuit for converting a differential input voltage, having a common-mode level within a first range, into a differential output voltage having a different, common-mode level. The circuit feeds current between a pair of variable current sources and a pair of input terminals adapted to receive the differential input voltage through a pair of resistors. The amount of current passing through the pair of resistors is related to the common-mode level of the input signal. The resistors produce the differential output voltage at the pair of output terminals with a common-mode level related to the common-mode level of the input voltage translated an amount related to the amount of current passing through them.
