Abstract

See full text

A signal transmission system for communicating across galvanic isolation. The signal transmission system includes first circuitry referenced to a first potential, the first circuitry comprising signal transmission circuitry, second circuitry referenced to a second potential and galvanically isolated from the first circuitry, the second circuitry comprising signal reception circuitry, and a magnetic coupling between the first circuitry to the second circuitry across the galvanic isolation, the magnetic coupling comprising a transmitter-side inductor and a receiver-side inductor. The signal transmission circuitry can include a source coupled to output, to the transmitter-side inductor of the magnetic coupling, a first state representation that represents a first logic state with multiple transitions, the first state representation including at least a first upward transition, a first downward transition, a second upward transition, and a second downward transition.
