Isolator, semiconductor device, and method for controlling isolator |
摘要 |
An isolator includes: a transmission circuit that generates an alternating current transmission signal in which a first potential is set to be a reference potential; a first insulating element to which the alternating current transmission signal is supplied; a second insulating element that generates an alternating current reception signal in which a second potential is set to be a reference potential by being alternating current-coupled to the first insulating element through an insulating film; a reception circuit that reproduces reception data based on the alternating current reception signal; an impedance control unit that controls an impedance of the first or the second insulating element to be higher than an impedance before the control; and a leakage current detection unit that detects a leakage current flowing between the first and the second insulating elements through the first or the second insulating element in which the impedance has been controlled. |

1. An isolator comprising:
a transmission circuit that generates an alternating current transmission signal in which a first potential is set to be a reference potential based on input transmission data; a first insulating element to which the alternating current transmission signal is supplied; a second insulating element that generates an alternating current reception signal in which a second potential different from the first potential is set to be a reference potential according to the alternating current transmission signal by being alternating current-coupled to the first insulating element through an insulating film; a reception circuit that reproduces reception data based on the alternating current reception signal; an impedance control unit that controls an impedance of the first or the second insulating element to be higher than an impedance before the control; and a leakage current detection unit that detects a leakage current flowing between the first and the second insulating elements through the first or the second insulating element in which the impedance has been controlled. |
