8.3.3 Isolation Channel Signal Transmission

The ISO224 uses an on-off keying (OOK) modulation scheme to transmit the modulator output bitstream across the SiO2-based isolation barrier. As shown in Figure 44, the transmitter modulates the bitstream at TX IN with an internally-generated, high-frequency carrier across the isolation barrier to represent a digital one and does not send a signal to represent the digital zero. The nominal frequency of the carrier used inside the ISO224 is 480 MHz.

The receiver demodulates the signal after advanced signal conditioning and produces the output. The ISO224 also incorporates advanced circuit techniques to maximize the CMTI performance and minimize the radiated emissions caused by the high-frequency carrier and IO buffer switching.
