Abstract
An isolation switch includes a switch circuit connected between a first node and a second node so as to be turned on and off by a switch drive signal; a first transformer and a second transformer having a first primary side coil and a second primary side coil connected in parallel between a power supply terminal and a ground terminal, and a first secondary side coil and a second secondary side coil connected in series; a first pulse generation circuit and a second pulse generation circuit configured to pulse-drive the first primary side coil and the second primary side coil, respectively, in accordance with an input pulse; and a switch driving circuit configured to receive induction voltages generated in the first secondary side coil and the second secondary side coil, respectively, so as to generate the switch drive signal.
