Abstract:
Coupled resonators for galvanically isolated signaling between integrated circuit modules. An illustrative system embodiment includes first and second integrated circuits. The first integrated circuit includes: a transmitter that produces a modulated carrier signal on a primary conductor; a first transfer conductor connected to a first connection terminal; and a first floating loop electromagnetically coupled to the primary conductor and to the transfer conductor to convey the modulated carrier. The second integrated circuit includes: a second transfer conductor connected to a second connection terminal, the second connection terminal being electrically connected to the first connection terminal; a receiver that demodulates the modulated carrier signal; and a second floating loop electromagnetically coupled to the second transfer conductor and to the receiver to convey the modulated carrier signal to the receiver. The first and second floating loops are each resonant at the carrier frequency to provide resonance-coupled signalling between the integrated circuits.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for galvanically isolated signaling, comprising:\n equipping a first integrated circuit with a transmitter that modulates a carrier signal having a carrier frequency to produce a modulated carrier signal on a primary conductor; equipping a second integrated circuit with a receiver that demodulates the modulated carrier signal; and electromagnetically coupling the transmitter to the receiver using a resonantly-coupled signal path having:\n a first floating loop that is resonant at the carrier frequency in the first integrated circuit; \n a transfer loop that is not resonant at the carrier frequency; and \n a second floating loop that is resonant at the carrier frequency in the second integrated circuit.
