INTERFACE FOR PASSING CONTROL INFORMATION OVER AN ISOLATION CHANNEL
Abstract: an isolated gate driver has a first portion in a first voltage domain and a second portion in a second voltage domain. the first and second portions are coupled by an isolation communication channel. the isolated gate driver transmits across the isolation communication channel a serial word containing first drive strength information and simultaneously transmits gate information with the serial word across the isolation communication channel. the gate information indicates a state of a gate signal for a transistor coupled to the second portion of the isolated gate driver. a demodulator circuit demodulates a signal containing the gate information and the drive strength information transmitted across the isolation communication channel in the serial word. a gate signal output circuit coupled to the demodulator circuit supplies the gate signal based on the gate information with a drive strength of the gate signal being based on the drive strength information.
