Galvanic isolator
First Claim
1. A galvanic isolator comprising:
- a first circuit board comprising a first surface and a second surface, wherein a circuit is disposed on said first surface;
a second circuit board comprising a first surface and a second surface, wherein a circuit is disposed on said first surface;
a substrate comprising an insulating polymeric or polymeric/inorganic layer having first and second surfaces, said first and second surfaces being on opposite sides of said substrate, said first side of said first circuit board being adjacent said first side of said substrate and said first side of said second circuit board being adjacent said second side of said substrate;
a transmitter that receives an input signal and couples an electronic signal derived from said input signal to said first portion; and
a receiver connected to said second portion that generates an output signal that is coupled to an external circuit.

Abstract
A galvanic isolator having a split circuit element, a polymeric substrate, a transmitter and receiver is disclosed. The split circuit element has first and second portions, the first portion being disposed on a first surface of the substrate and the second portion being disposed a second surface of the substrate. The transmitter receives an input signal and couples a signal derived from the input signal to the first portion. The receiver is connected to the second portion of the circuit element and generates an output signal that is coupled to an external circuit. The galvanic isolator can be economically fabricated on conventional printed circuit board substrates and flexible circuit substrates.
