CONTACTLESS DATA COMMUNICATION USING IN-PLANE MAGNETIC FIELDS, AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Embodiments described herein are related to contactless data communication. Related systems and methods for contactless data communication are disclosed herein. For example, a magnetic field-based contactless transmitter (32) is disclosed that includes a substrate (44), a pair of dipole coils (36A, 36B) disposed on the substrate, and a drive circuit (38) electrically coupled to the pair of dipole coils. To transmit data to a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) receiver (34) disposed on a second substrate (64), the drive circuit is configured to drive the pair of dipole coils so as to generate a magnetic field (HIX) in-plane to the MTJ receiver. Data can be transmitted from the magnetic field-based contactless transmitter to the MTJ receiver using the magnetic field.
