Abstract: An integrated system for signal and power transmission with galvanic isolation is disclosed. The integrated system comprises an insulative layer having a primary side and a secondary side; a planar signal transformer and a planar power transformer for signal and power transmission between the primary and the secondary sides of the insulative layer respectively. The planar signal transformer comprises two signal coupling elements which are disposed on the primary and the secondary sides of the insulative layer respectively. The planar power transformer includes two power coupling elements which are disposed on the primary and the secondary sides of the insulative layer respectively. Each of the two signal coupling elements and the two power coupling elements is embedded in at least one layer of a multi-layer printed circuit board. The integrated system of the present disclosure has a compact structure and is suitable for automatic assembly and manufacturing.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a detection device for a circuit comprising a plurality of switch devices coupled in series. The detection device comprises a plurality of detecting circuits, wherein each detecting circuit is integrated with a gate driver of a corresponding switch device. Each detecting circuit comprises a voltage divider and a signal processor. The voltage divider is coupled in parallel with the corresponding switch device and comprises a plurality of voltage dividing components coupled in series. The signal processor is coupled with one of the voltage dividing components and configured to receive a divided voltage across the voltage dividing component and output an output signal indicating the voltage across the switch device. Embodiments of the present disclosure also relate to a system and method for protecting series-connected switch devices.
