Galvanic isolator
First Claim
1. A galvanic isolator, comprising:
- a generally planar electrically insulating substrate comprising opposing first and second surfaces, the substrate comprising an electrically insulating, low dielectric loss material and having a transmitter coil disposed on the first surface and a receiving coil disposed on the second surface;
a transmitter circuit operably connected to the transmitter coil, said transmitter circuit comprising;
a first detector that detects a rising edge of an input signal;
a first pulse generator that generates a plurality of first pulses upon detection of said rising edge;
a second detector that detects a falling edge of said input signal;
a second pulse generator that generates a plurality of second pulses upon detection of said falling edge;
a receiver circuit operably connected to the second receiving coil;
wherein said receiver circuit generates a signal that is substantially similar to said input signal based on said first pulses and said second pulses.

Abstract
Galvanic isolators are disclosed herein. An embodiment of a galvanic isolator comprises a generally planar electrically insulating substrate comprising opposing first and second surfaces, the substrate comprising an electrically insulating, low dielectric loss material and having a transmitter coil disposed on the first surface and a receiving coil disposed on the second surface. A transmitter circuit is operably connected to the transmitter coil. The transmitter circuit comprises a first detector that detects a rising edge of an input signal; a first pulse generator that generates a plurality of first pulses upon detection of the rising edge; a second detector that detects a falling edge of the input signal; and a second pulse generator that generates a plurality of second pulses upon detection of the falling edge. A receiver circuit is operably connected to the second receiving coil. The receiver circuit generates a signal that is substantially similar to the input signal based on the first pulses and the second pulses.
