7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The ISO7710 device has an ON-OFF keying (OOK) modulation scheme to transmit the digital data across

a silicon dioxide based isolation barrier. The transmitter sends a high frequency carrier across the barrier to

represent one digital state and sends no signal to represent the other digital state. The receiver demodulates

the signal after advanced signal conditioning and produces the output through a buffer stage. The device

also incorporates advanced circuit techniques to maximize the CMTI performance and minimize the radiated

emissions due the high frequency carrier and IO buffer switching. The conceptual block diagram of a digital

capacitive isolator, Figure 7-1, shows a functional block diagram of a typical channel.
