PRODUCTION DATA
The AMC0x11S uses an on-off keying (OOK) modulation scheme, as shown in Figure 7-1, to transmit the modulator output bitstream across the SiO2-based isolation barrier. The transmit driver (TX) as illustrated in the Functional Block Diagram transmits an internally generated, high-frequency carrier across the isolation barrier to represent a digital one. However, TX does not send a signal to represent a digital zero. The nominal frequency of the carrier used inside the AMC0x11S is 480MHz.
The receiver (RX) on the other side of the isolation barrier recovers and demodulates the signal and provides the input to the analog filter. The AMC0x11S transmission channel is optimized to achieve the highest level of common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) and the lowest level of radiated emissions. The high-frequency carrier and RX/TX buffer switching cause these emissions.
