Abstract

A novel technology for galvanic data isolation is demonstrated. The integrated high-speed isolated data transfer system-in-package (SIP) supports a maximum data-rate of 2.5Gbps at ~20pJ/bit and is resilient to common-mode-transients (CMTs) >150kV/μs at speeds <;600Mbps, both while meeting a bit-error-rate (BER) of <;10^-12. The SIP exceeds the standards body requirements on isolation rating for human safety [1] and extends state-of-art by ~4X in speed and >3X in immunity to CMT [2], [3].
