Abstract: A multi-channel digital isolator includes a digital isolator and an interlock circuit. The isolator includes a transmitter having a transmitter output, a receiver having a receiver input and a receiver output, an isolation barrier coupled between the transmitter output and the receiver input, and an output buffer having a buffer input and configured to output an isolated signal. The transmitter is configured to transmit an input signal across the isolation barrier. The interlock circuit has an interlock input coupled to the receiver output and an interlock output coupled to the buffer input. The interlock module is configured to prevent overlapping active states between the first isolated signal and a complementary isolated signal. In some implementations, the digital isolator also includes a dead-time insertion circuit.

Abstract: Universal Serial Bus (USB) repeater circuits and methods of operating the same for communicating data signals from a first pair of data terminals to a second pair of data terminals of the repeater. In a first channel, an amplifier stage in a receiver amplifies a differential signal received at the first pair of data terminals to generate a differential signal at first and second output nodes of the receiver, and a transmitting circuit transmits a differential signal at the second pair of data terminals responsive to the differential signal at the first and second output nodes of the receiver. The receiver includes a hysteresis stage that receives an offset in opposition to the differential signal at the first and second output nodes of the receiver. End-of-packet (EOP) dribble in USB communications in the HS mode is reduced by the offset at the hysteresis stage.

Abstract: In described examples, an integrated circuit includes an on-off keying (OOK) digital isolator, which includes a first circuitry, a multiplexer, an OOK modulator, an isolation barrier, an OOK envelope detector, and a second circuitry. The first circuitry generates and outputs a calibration signal. The multiplexer has a data signal input, and an input coupled to a first circuitry output. An OOK modulator input is coupled to a multiplexer output. An isolation barrier input is coupled to an OOK modulator output. An OOK envelope detector input is coupled to an isolation barrier output. The second circuitry includes an input coupled to an OOK envelope detector output, and an output coupled to an OOK envelope detector control input. The second circuitry detects a duty cycle distortion (DCD) of the OOK envelope detector output, and outputs a control signal to change the OOK envelope detector output's duty cycle based on the detected DCD.

Abstract: An isolating repeater and corresponding method for Universal Serial Bus (USB) communications. The isolating repeater includes, on either side of a galvanic isolation barrier, front end circuitry coupled to a pair of external terminals, a full speed (FS) transceiver adapted to drive and receive signals over one or more FS isolation channels, and a high speed (HS) transceiver adapted to drive signals over a one HS isolation channel and receive signals over another HS isolation channel. The front end circuitry encodes received signals corresponding to HS data into two-state signals for transmission over one HS isolation channel, and encodes received signals corresponding to HS signaling into two-state signals for transmission over one or more of the FS isolation channels. The front end circuitry on the other side of the isolation barrier decodes the two-state signals received over the one or more FS isolation channels and the two-state signals received over the HS isolation channel for transmission at its external terminals.

Abstract: Isolator structures for an integrated circuit with reduced effective parasitic capacitance. Disclosed embodiments include an isolator structure with parallel conductive elements forming a capacitor or inductive transformer, overlying a semiconductor structure including a well region of a first conductivity type formed within an tank region of a second conductivity type. The tank region is surrounded by doped regions and a buried doped layer of the first conductivity type, forming a plurality of diodes in series to the substrate. The junction capacitances of the series diodes have the effect of reducing the parasitic capacitance apparent at the isolator.
