ABSTRACT:
A fault tolerance signal receiver (10) for use with differential voltage level transmission systems from which two voltage levels may be substantially simultaneously sensed to allow the two voltage levels to be decoded into digital signals. The receiver (10) includes an input unit (11) for receiving the two voltage levels and for producing outputs related to these two voltage levels, a first logic unit (12) for receiving the output from the input unit and for producing an output, with the output being selectively variable when the two voltage levels are valid and non-variable when the two voltage levels are invalid due to the presence of a fault condition in the transmission system, and a second logic unit (13) for receiving the output of the first logic unit (12) and the input unit (11) for correctly outputting a decoded digital signal (17) provided that the transmission system has no more than one fault condition present thereon. A fault condition signal (27) may also be provided.
