Data transmission method and a data transmission apparatus between ground-isolated apparatuses

A digital data transmission apparatus that transmits digital data and a clock from a first apparatus to a second apparatus ground-isolated first apparatus from said first apparatus, said transmission apparatus comprising:

• a signal generator that generates said reference signals from a power source voltage of said first apparatus and a ground of said first apparatus;
• a multiphase clock generator having the same base frequency as the maximum base frequency of said digital data from said clock;
• a comparator for comparing said digital data and said reference signals;
• and
• a latching device for latching the comparison results of said comparator using said multiphase clock.

A transmitter which comprises:

• a data generator for generating digital data in synchronization with a clock;
• and
• a voltage generator for generating threshold voltage corresponding to said digital data and said clock;
• wherein said transmitter thereafter transmits said clock, said digital data, and said threshold voltage.

A receiver which receives a clock, digital data and threshold voltage, wherein said receiver comprises:

• a first comparator that compares said clock and said threshold voltage;
• a second comparator that compares said digital data and said threshold voltage;
• and
• a sampler that samples the second output signals from said second comparator in response to the first output signals from said first comparator, wherein said sampler thereafter outputs sampled signals from said sampler.
