Abstract: A signal transmission device transmits a driving signal for a gate-driving transistor between a primary circuit system and a secondary circuit system while isolating between the primary and secondary circuit systems. The signal transmission device includes: a first external terminal configured such that the ground terminal of the secondary circuit system is connected to it; a second external terminal configured such that the terminal voltage at it varies according to whether the first external terminal is in an open state; and an open detection circuit configured to monitor the terminal voltage at the second external terminal to perform open detection for the first external terminal.

Abstract: A signal transmission device includes a capacitor having a first capacitor element and a second capacitor element connected in parallel such that electrodes of different polarities are connected together between them, and transmits an analog signal in a form converted into a pulse signal by use of a triangular-wave signal generated through charging and discharging of the capacitor.
