Coil structures and isolators using them. A coil(s) is (are) used as a magnetic field-generating element(s) paired with another coil(s) or other magnetic field-receiving element(s). The coil(s) is(are) formed in or on a substrate which does not include some or all of the driver (i.e., input) or receiver (i.e., output) circuits. The coil(s) and magnetic field-receiving element(s) thus can be manufactured separately from the driver and / or receiver circuitry, using different processes, instead of subjecting the chip areas containing both input and output circuits to post processing to form the coil(s). Isolators can be assembled using such coils with a resultant lower cost. Isolators also can be assembled using transformers made from such coils wherein the transformers can be driven on either of their windings in order to provide bi-directional isolation with a single transformer.

Pulse type transformer with increased coupling coefficient through configuration of plural primary windings

The present invention provides a low duty cycle, high current DC pulse type transformer with increased coupling coefficient between the primary and secondary windings by changing the proximity of the primary windings to the secondary windings through a plurality of primary windings separated by layers of secondary windings thus reducing the average distance between the primary windings and secondary windings. In addition to the increased coupling coefficient, the invention provides a reduction in electrical potential between primary windings and secondary windings through an electrical connection between the primary winding and a tap within the secondary winding. The invention significantly increases the coupling coefficient in applications where the transformer's core becomes saturated due to the high peak current typically found in capacitive discharge type circuits such as those used in electric fence controllers, strobe circuits, and high performance ignition systems for automobile, marine, or motorcycle engines.
