Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of isolating device design, and particularly relates to a digital capacitive isolator. BACKGROUND
[0002] According to the difference of the isolation medium, the digital isolator can be divided into optical coupling isolator, magnetic coupling isolator and capacitive isolator. The capacitive isolator with SiO2 as the isolation medium adopts the standard CMOS process, has the advantages of high transmission rate, low delay, long service life and high voltage resistance.
[0003] The digital isolator generally includes a sending end (i.e. a modulation module), a receiving end (i.e. a demodulation module) and an isolation capacitor module. The sending end modulates the transmission signal into a signal that can pass through the isolation capacitor. The receiving end demodulates the signal passing through the isolation capacitor back into the transmission signal. The isolation capacitor connects the signal transmitting and receiving ends. The modulation and demodulation scheme is generally divided into two schemes, i.e. pulse modulation and OOK modulation.
[0004] CMTI refers to the common-mode transient signal suppression degree. The isolator is in different voltage domains at both ends. The signal transfer from one side voltage domain to the other side voltage domain exists voltage domain transfer, which will generate a common-mode transient signal at the receiving end. Different voltage rising rates will generate common-mode transient signals of different sizes. This common-mode transient signal will generate common-mode differential mode at the receiving end and affect the direct current working point, thereby causing misjudgment.
[0005] In order to avoid misjudgment, improving the CMTI index of the isolator has become one of the key indexes of the isolator design. For example, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN114244347A proposes a CMT suppression circuit for a four-port isolator and a four-port isolator. It also reacts by detecting CMT events, but its detection is complex and time-consuming, and it cannot respond to instantaneous CMT. In addition, it only has a discharge circuit but no supplement circuit. For example, the Chinese patent application with the publication number CN112019206A proposes a digital isolator, which reduces low-frequency CMT signals through filtering, but has no effect on high-frequency CMT signals.

[0035] In order to describe the present application more specifically, the technical solutions of the present application are described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0036] As shown in Figure 1 , the digital isolator of the present application mainly consists of a signal modulation and transmission module, an isolation capacitor module, a common-mode transient immunity enhancement module, and a signal receiving and demodulation module. The signal modulation and transmission module is connected with the isolation capacitor module, and the isolation capacitor module is simultaneously connected with the common-mode transient immunity enhancement module and the signal receiving and demodulation module. The input signal is converted into a full-differential signal by the signal modulation and transmission module TX and transmitted to the isolation capacitor module. The full-differential signal is transmitted to the common-mode transient immunity enhancement module through the isolation capacitor module. The common-mode transient immunity enhancement module processes the common-mode current and simultaneously transmits the differential-mode signal to improve the CMTI of the digital isolator. The full-differential signal is further transmitted to the signal receiving and demodulation module. The signal receiving and demodulation module suppresses the common-mode signal, amplifies the differential-mode signal, and restores the signal through an envelope comparator.
[0037] Figure 2 The schematic diagram shows the principle of CMTI. The schematic diagram is composed of a voltage difference V CM between different voltage domains, an input signal, and an output signal. The isolator is in different voltage domains. The signal transfer from one side voltage domain to the other side voltage domain will generate a common-mode transient pulse at the receiving end. Different voltage rising rates will generate common-mode transient pulses of different sizes. The common-mode transient pulse can be equivalent to a voltage difference excitation model. The common-mode transient pulse will produce a differential-mode effect, thereby causing an error code or even damaging the circuit. Figure 2 The schematic diagram shows that when the voltage domains at both ends of the isolator, i.e., the voltage difference excitation V CM , rises and falls at a certain rate, the input high-level signal is high, the output signal is also high, and the error code is within the requirement, i.e., the common-mode transient signal suppression degree can meet the voltage domain change at this rate.

[0039] When a positive common-mode transient signal occurs, positive high voltage is accumulated on the sampling resistors R1, R2 simultaneously, if the positive high voltage is lower than the positive fixed threshold, the comparator COMP3, COMP4 output remains unchanged, the digital processing P2 does not work, the controlled current source I3, I4 is not opened, at this time the whole common-mode transient immunity enhancement module shielding, the full differential signal is transmitted normally to the signal receiving demodulation module; if the positive high voltage is higher than the positive fixed threshold, the comparator COMP3, COMP4 output flips, the digital processing P2 works, the controlled current source I3, I4 is opened, at the same time the current of the controlled current source I3, I4 dynamically changes with the size of the positive high voltage on the sampling resistors R1, R2, at this time the common-mode current component in the full differential signal is pulled away, the rest of the full differential signal is transmitted to the signal receiving demodulation module. The pull-down current of the controlled current source I3, I4 and the same size are pulled down at the same time.
[0040] When a negative common-mode transient signal occurs, negative high voltage is accumulated on the sampling resistors R1, R2 simultaneously, if the negative high voltage is higher than the negative fixed threshold, the comparator COMP1, COMP2 output remains unchanged, the digital processing P1 does not work, the controlled current source I1, I2 is not opened, at this time the whole common-mode transient immunity enhancement module shielding, the full differential signal is transmitted normally to the signal receiving demodulation module; if the negative high voltage is lower than the negative fixed threshold, the comparator COMP1, COMP2 output flips, the digital processing P1 works, the controlled current source I1, I2 is opened, at the same time the current of the controlled current source I1, I2 dynamically changes with the size of the positive high voltage on the sampling resistors R1, R2, at this time the common-mode current component in the full differential signal is pulled away, the rest of the full differential signal is transmitted to the signal receiving demodulation module.
