Questions tagged [single-ended]

An electrical signal composed of a single conductor carrying a voltage which varies with respect to a reference voltage (usually ground), as opposed to a differential signal, which consists of complementary signals carried on each conductor.

An electrical signal composed of a single conductor carrying a voltage which varies with respect to a reference voltage (usually ground), as opposed to a differential signal, which consists of complementary signals carried on each conductor.

Single-ended signals are often easier to implement and may require fewer wires (since multiple signals can share a single reference voltage), but differential signals can reject noise which affect both signal wires (common mode noise).

Differential to single ended

I have a differential signal ranging from 0 to 2 MHz and need to transform it into a single-ended signal. I found out that there are 3 methods: Transformer Amplifier simply ground the negative part with a matching load How can I decide which…

Voltage and current measurement of battery Single ended or differential?

I am trying to measure battery's current and voltage for a battery charging/monitoring project. I have read all about current sensing (including high side & low side sensing). And i have decided to use Shunt resistors for current measurement as they…

Charge mode piezoelectric signal conditioning

I have a charge-mode piezoelectric dynamic pressure sensor (datasheet link) that I want to read a signal from. If you look at the datasheet it says the sensor outputs are in a balanced and floating configuration, which I think means its output is a…

How does the current of RS485 signals return from the receiver to the sender?

I am planning a system consisting of 1 master device which is connected to 19 slave devices using RS485 transceivers. Also, all devices are powered by 1 PSU. A simplified schematic is shown below. As you can see in the schematic, the slaves each…

Using Single Ended Output with Differential Input by Grounding one Input

I am making a frequency generator using the AD9833 (programmed from the PIC16F876). I wish to use a Programmable Gain Amplifier to adjust the signal level before being sent to a power amplifier (common collector coupled to class AB Push Pull). I…

Differential to single ended circuit

I have a differential signal up to 1.5 MHz and have to transform it to a single ended signal. I have found this amplifier which has a BW of 2.2 MHz and should therefore be okay for this task. The manufacturer also offers a simulation program,…

Efficiency of obtaining differential signalling from a single-ended manufactured transducers

This will be a conceptual question. I'm sometimes dealing with data-acquisition of transducers, like strain gauges, accelerometers ect. sort of sensors. Most of these sensors have their own precision amplifiers. So what I mean by the transducer…

Single Ended Signal Ground In a Loop

I have ten devices that I need to connect in a loop so they can send data from one device to the next until it returns to the original device. The devices are about 5 inches apart. They are all 5V UART signals (1M Baud). The 10 devices are connected…

Why do differential signals need an inverse wave?

At the moment, I'm working on converting a single ended audio signal to a differential one (source is a CS42L55, need a differential input for a CSR8670. The latter's datasheet is indecisive about how to approach this issue). I have a few options,…

What is the practical advantage of using mirrored signal outputs eventhough what matters is balancing the wires?

Some devices output differential outputs since both wires carry varying signals which are mirrored. Most devices on the other hand output one signal carrying and one GND wire. There is also differential-ended wiring and single-ended wiring. My…

LVDS to Singled-Ended - Transmission Line Balun Matching

I need to convert a LVDS clock into a single-ended signal. In the past I've used a voltage balun with a center tap on the secondary but I haven't found any good past 1GHz. I need to get to 2GHz in this application and found transmission line baluns…

Differential or Single-Ended ADC?

I'm getting to know the Freescale Kinetis L microcontroller. It's ADC has a lot of options, but long story short, it seems like I should be able to get 16-bit resolution in either single ended or differential mode. The sensors I want to read vary…
