Abstract:
A low voltage drive circuit includes a transmit digital to analog circuit that converts transmit digital data into analog outbound data by: generating a DC component; a first plurality of oscillations, wherein each oscillation of the first plurality of oscillations has first unique oscillation characteristics; selecting one of the first plurality of oscillations in accordance with a first portion of the transmit digital data to produce a first selected oscillation; generating a second plurality of oscillations, wherein each oscillation of the second plurality of oscillations has second unique oscillation characteristics; selecting one of the second plurality of oscillations in accordance with a second portion of the transmit digital data to produce a second selected oscillation, and outputting the first selected oscillation and the second selected oscillation on an n-bit-by-n-bit basis to produce an oscillating component, wherein the DC component is combined with the oscillating component to produce the analog outbound data. A drive sense circuit drives an analog transmit signal onto a bus, wherein the analog outbound data is represented within the analog transmit signal as variances in loading of the bus in a first frequency range and wherein analog inbound data is represented within an analog receive signal as variances in loading of the bus in a second frequency range.
