ABSTRACT:
In an optical coupled isolation circuit, a PWM encoder encodes a one-bit binary data signal supplied from a sigma-delta analog-digital converter in synchronization with a clock signal of a cycle T to produce a pulse width modulation signal. The pulse width modulation signal includes a narrower pulse having a width of 1/T and a wider pulse having a width of 3/T according to binary codes “0” and “1”. The pulse width modulation signal is transmitted to a decoder as a recovered pulse width modulation signal through a light emitting device, a light detector and an optical recovery circuit. A decoder decodes the recovered pulse width modulation signal at timing of a half of the clock cycle from each rising edge of the recovered pulse width modulation signal. The rising edge is synchronized with the clock signal. Thus, the clock signal and the data signal can be transmitted in one channel.
