Abstract
Provided are embodiments for circuit for detecting an open-wire condition for a differential input. Embodiments include a sensor, and a line replaceable unit (LRU) coupled to the sensor, wherein the LRU comprises a differential amplifier to provide a sensor output. Embodiments can also include a synchronous demodulator coupled to an output of the differential amplifier through an alternating current (AC) coupling network, wherein the synchronous demodulator is configured to receive the differential amplifier output and a reference signal at the synchronous demodulator signal input and reference input, and provide a synchronous demodulator output voltage to indicate an open-wire condition. Also provided are embodiments of a method for detecting an open-wire condition for a differential input.
