Assignee: SKYWORKS SOLUTIONS, INC.
Field: Basic communication processes (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method for transmitting information in an isolated gate driver, the method comprising:
receiving gate control information and drive strength information at a first voltage domain portion of the isolated gate driver;
transmitting a serial word in multiple bit times from the first voltage domain portion to a second voltage domain portion of the isolated gate driver across an isolation communication channel, the transmitting including modulating a signal during each respective bit time of the multiple bit times to represent both the gate control information and the drive strength information, the gate control information indicating a state of a gate control signal to control a gate of a device coupled to the second voltage domain portion of the isolated gate driver;
with a demodulator circuit, demodulating the modulated signal transmitted across the isolation communication channel; and
with a gate signal output circuit coupled to the demodulator circuit, supplying the gate control signal based on the gate control information and with a drive strength based on the drive strength information.
