Abstract
Disclosed herein are embodiments of a scalable connection and disconnection differential surge limiter circuit that may be utilized in any AC-coupled transceiver. Charge is recycled between PADP and PADN using two diode paths, hence protecting the PAD connected devices from voltage stress. The circuit can act as a protection circuit to limit the voltage on PADP and PADN during differential voltage spikes.
