ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a signal transmission device that transmits a signal applied to a pair of input terminals to a pair of output terminals insulated electrically from the pair of input terminals while reducing the influence of an external noise magnetic field. The signal transmission device has a pair of coils, a pair of magnetic sensors and a signal output section. Each of the coils is connected between the pair of input terminals. Each of the coils generates a magnetic field respectively in response to the input signal applied between the pair of input terminals. A direction of the magnetic field generated by one of the coils is opposite to a direction of the magnetic field generated by the other of the coils. Each of the magnetic sensors corresponds to one of the coils exclusively. Each of the magnetic sensors detects the magnetic field generated by the corresponding coil, and outputs a detection signal in response to the detected magnetic field. The signal output section outputs an output signal to the pair of output terminals. The output signal corresponds to a difference between the pair of detection signals outputted by the pair of magnetic sensors. In the difference, the signal component caused by an external noise magnetic field is canceled. On the other hand, in the difference, the signal component caused by the input signal applied between the pair of input terminals are doubled with respect to the input signal. Thereby, the signal output section outputs the output signal with high S/N ratio.
