POWER-SUPPLY AND COMMUNICATION

摘要

A power-supply and communication circuit is based on a flyback converter with a transformer (6) whose primary winding (10) is periodically connected to a supply voltage by means of a switching element (8) in the rhythm of control pulses from an oscillator (24). Data communication to the secondary electronic circuitry (4) is effected by interrupting the control pulses in response to a first data signal (SDTA1) to be transmitted. The absence of the alternating voltage across the secondary winding (18) is detected by means of a peak detector (28) and converted into a received first data signal (RDTA1). Data communication to the primary electronic circuitry (2) is effected by actively modulating the rectified voltage at the secondary side by means of a modulator (30) in response to a second data signal (SDTA2) to be transmitted. The resulting fluctuations in the flyback voltage across the primary winding are detected by means of a second peak detector (32) and converted into a received second data signal (RDTA2).
