6.11 Receiver Detection

6.11.1 Rx Detect Overview

The Receiver Detection circuit is implemented as part of a Transmitter and must correctly detect
whether a load impedance equivalent to a DC impedance RRX-DC (Table 6-13) is present. The Rx
detection operates on the principle of the RC time constant of the circuit. This time constant
changes based on the presence of the receiver termination. This is conceptually illustrated in
Figure 6-23. In this figure, R_Detect is the implementation specific charging resistor. C_AC is the
AC capacitor that is in the circuit only if R_Term is also present, otherwise, only C_Parasitic is

present.

接收机检测电路是发送机的一部分，目的是发送机用来检测负载电阻值是否和远端接收机直流共模对地电阻相同（18 (min)~30(max)Ω），由此发送机可以判断远端接收机是否在线。检测原理是根据RC电路的时间常数，远端接收机RX-DC的存在与否会使RC电路的时间常数不同。
