Abstract
Interface circuits for differential signal channels. The interface circuit includes, for example, a transformer, a common mode choke, and a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode. The transformer is coupled to two circuit side terminals of a differential signal channel. The common mode choke is coupled to the transformer. The common mode choke is also coupled to the two line side terminals of the differential signal channel via a first signal path and a second signal path. The bidirectional TVS diode includes a first output connection coupled to the first signal path. The bidirectional TVS diode also includes a second output connection coupled to the second signal path.
