Digital isolator and the method thereof

摘要

An isolator system has a transmitter configured to generate a first pair of buffered differential signals base based on an input signal; an isolation barrier having an input side coupled to the transmitter to receive the first pair of buffered differential signals, and an output side configured to provide a second pair of differential signals; and a receiver coupled to the output side of isolation barrier to receive the second pair of differential signals, wherein the receiver provides an output signal based on restoring the second pair of differential signals into a third pair of differential signals, wherein the output signal is converted from the third pair of differential signals and is a duplicate of the input signal with inherited propagation delays.

1. A digital isolator system, comprising:
a transmitter configured to generate a first pair of buffered differential signals based on an input signal; an isolation barrier having an input side coupled to the transmitter to receive the first pair of buffered differential signals, and an output side configured to provide a second pair of differential signals; and a receiver coupled to the output side of the isolation barrier to receive the second pair of differential signals, wherein the receiver is configured to provide an output signal based on restoring the second pair of differential signals into a third pair of differential signals with valid logic levels, wherein the output signal is converted from the third pair of differential signals and is essentially a duplicate of the input signal but with inherited propagation delays.
