    摘要: A digital isolator. The digital isolator a logic module for receiving an input signal D, and providing command signals to first and second sawtooth modulators. The first sawtooth modulator can provide a first sawtooth signal at a node A1 having a fast rising edge triggered by a rising edge of a control signal, followed by a slow falling edge, when D equals 1 and having a fast falling edge triggered by a rising edge of a control signal, followed by a slow rising edge, when D equals 0. A second sawtooth modulator provides a second sawtooth signal at node A2, inverted with respect to first sawtooth signal. Isolation capacitors connected to nodes A1 and A2 can be used as isolation barrier and as part of high-pass filters together with dipoles Z1 and Z2.

    摘要: A level shifter includes a low-level adjustment circuit, a comparator circuit, and a high-level adjustment circuit. The low-level adjustment circuit pulls down a level of one between a first input node and a second input node to a first low supply voltage. The comparator outputs a one having higher level between the level of the first input node and a second low supply voltage to a first output node, wherein the second low supply voltage is higher than the first low supply voltage. The high-level adjustment circuit selectively adjusts the level of the first output node according to the level of the first input node and the level of the second input node to generate an output signal.
