Abstract
In general, one aspect disclosed features an apparatus comprising: a receiver comprising a receiver inductor-capacitor (LC) tank; a transmitter comprising an oscillator; and a capacitive isolation barrier electrically coupled between an output of the transmitter and an input of the receiver.
Claims13
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver comprising a receiver inductor-capacitor (LC) tank and a differential receive amplifier;
- a transmitter comprising an oscillator and a differential transmit driver;
- and
- a capacitive isolation barrier electrically coupled between an output of the transmitter and an input of the receiver,
- wherein:
- the oscillator is electrically coupled to a first input of the differential transmit driver by a first capacitor;
- the oscillator is electrically coupled to a second input of the differential transmit driver by a second capacitor;
- the receiver LC tank comprises a coupled inductor pair having a center tap and one or more capacitors, the coupled inductor pair being electrically coupled between differential inputs of the differential receive amplifier;
- and
- the coupled inductor pair is configured to cancel a common mode transient signal passing through the receiver LC tank without attenuating a differential signal of interest at a resonant frequency of the receiver LC tank.
