SIGNAL TRANSMISSION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18181929 titled 'SIGNAL TRANSMISSION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The signal transmission device described in the abstract includes a first integrated circuit chip with a first coil, a printed circuit board with a second coil, a second integrated circuit chip with connection terminals, and wires connecting the coils to the connection terminals.

  • The device utilizes a first coil on the first integrated circuit chip and a second coil on the printed circuit board to form an isolation transformer.
  • The second coil is only present in the wiring layer of the printed circuit board, which has a single wiring layer structure.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in wireless charging systems, data transmission devices, and power supply units.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently transferring signals or power between integrated circuit chips while maintaining isolation.

Benefits

The device provides a compact and efficient solution for signal transmission, reducing the need for bulky external components.
