This paper presents a galvanically isolated dc-dc converter with multi-channel communication exploiting a single isolation transformer. The proposed architecture makes compliant both regulated output power and data transmission on the same isolation physical link by using ASK modulation of the power signal and data/control signal multiplexing. The dc-dc converter consists of two integrated chips fabricated in 0.18-µm BCD and 0.13-µm CMOS technologies, respectively, along with a thick polyimide transformer chip able to comply with reinforced isolation requirements. The dc-dc converter delivers an isolated output power up to 50 mW at 3.3-V output voltage, while providing three data channels with a data rate up to 10 Mb/s.

Abstract

This paper presents a galvanically isolated dc-dc converter with multi-channel communication exploiting a single isolation transformer. The proposed architecture makes compliant both regulated output power and data transmission on the same isolation physical link by using ASK modulation of the power signal and data/control signal multiplexing. The dc-dc converter consists of two integrated chips fabricated in 0.18-µm BCD and 0.13-µm CMOS technologies, respectively, along with a thick polyimide transformer chip able to comply with reinforced isolation requirements. The dc-dc converter delivers an isolated output power up to 50 mW at 3.3-V output voltage, while providing three data channels with a data rate up to 10 Mb/s.
