- a secondary voltage (reception signal) is generated in the reception coil 26b by electromagnetic induction (point A voltage). That is, as the current of the transmission coil 26a increases in the negative direction, a negative voltage is generated in the reception coil 26b in an impulse shape, and as the current of the transmission coil 26a increases in the positive direction, A positive voltage is generated in the receiving coil 26b in an impulse shape.
- the signal generated in the receiving coil 26 b is input to the low pass filter 44.
- the low pass filter 44 integrates and averages the signal generated by the receiving coil 26b.
- the signal (point B voltage) output from the low-pass filter 44 is converted into a signal having a frequency not higher than the frequency limit fL that can be received by the detection circuit 47, and the peak voltage is equal to or lower than the withstand voltage of the detection circuit 47.
- the signal output from the low-pass filter 44 is input to the high-pass filter 46, and low-frequency noise components are removed.
- the signal (point C voltage) from which the noise component has been removed by the high-pass filter 46 is input to the comparators cmp1 and cmp2 of the detection circuit 47.
- the output signal Vc2 of the comparator cmp2 is at a low level during a period in which the signal output from the high pass filter 46 is lower than the threshold value Vthn. Further, during a period in which the signal output from the high pass filter 46 exceeds the threshold value Vthp, the output signal Vc1 of the comparator cmp1 becomes high level.
- the signal processing circuit 48 determines that a falling edge has occurred in the input signal input to the transmission circuit 24 and outputs the pulse signal Vr. As a result, the falling edge of the input signal at time t2 is restored as the output signal.
- the number of turns of the reception coil 26b is made larger than the number of turns of the transmission coil 26a. Increase the transformer gain. This enables stable signal transmission. If the outer diameter of the transformer coil is reduced and the number of turns of the receiving coil 26b is made larger than the number of turns of the transmitting coil 26a, the signal output from the receiving coil 26b exceeds the withstand voltage of the detecting circuit 47, and The frequency limit that can be received is exceeded.
- the signal output from the receiving coil is converted by the low-pass filter 44 so that the frequency band thereof falls within the receivable range of the detection circuit 47, and the peak voltage is made lower than the withstand voltage of the detection circuit 47.
- the signal transmission circuit 22 can stably transmit the input signal input to the transmission circuit 24 to the reception circuit 28.
- FIG. 10 shows the result of simulating the signal waveform at each point of the signal transmission circuit 22 described above.
- the signal (point A voltage) generated in the reception coil 26b exceeds the withstand voltage (usually 6V) of the detection circuit 47.
- the signal (point B voltage) output from the low-pass filter 44 and the signal (point C voltage) output from the high-pass filter 46 are suppressed to be equal to or lower than the withstand voltage of the detection circuit 47.
- these signals (point B voltage, point C voltage) have a wider pulse width than the signal generated by the receiving coil 26b. Therefore, the detection circuit 47 can restore the rising edge of the input signal input to the transmission circuit 24 from the signal input from the high pass filter 46.
- the high-pass filter 46 is arranged at the subsequent stage (on the detection circuit 47 side) of the low-pass filter 44. For this reason, compared with the structure (structure shown in FIG. 11) which arrange
- the signal transmission circuit 22 by adopting a configuration in which the high-pass filter 46 is disposed after the low-pass filter 44, a large gain can be obtained while reducing the capacitance of the capacitor. Note that when a resistor and a capacitor are formed in an IC, the capacitor has a larger area than the resistor. For this reason, the signal transmission circuit 22 can be formed with a more compact area by suppressing the capacitance of the capacitor.
- each circuit of the first embodiment described above is an example, and the technology of the present application is not limited to such a form.
- a detection circuit 52 as shown in FIG. 13 can be used.
- the detection circuit 52 includes a comparator cmp1, a signal processing circuit 56, and an RS flip-flop 58.
- two pulse currents are passed through the transmission coil 26a in response to the rising edge of the input signal, and one transmission coil 26a is supplied in response to the falling edge of the input signal.
- a pulsed current may be supplied.
- the signal processing circuit 56 can determine whether the input signal has a rising edge or a falling edge.
- the signal transmission device according to the second embodiment is different from the signal transmission device 22 according to the first embodiment in that a clamp circuit 62 is used instead of the low-pass filter 44.
- Other configurations of the signal transmission device according to the second embodiment are the same as those of the signal transmission device 22 according to the first embodiment. For this reason, the same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
- the receiving circuit 60 includes a clamp circuit 62, a high-pass filter 46, and a detection circuit 47.
- the reception coil 26 b is connected to the input terminal of the clamp circuit 62, and the reception signal output from the reception coil 26 b is input to the clamp circuit 62.
- one potential of the receiving coil 26b (that is, the potential not connected to the clamp circuit 62) is biased by 0.5 ⁇ Vdd (power supply potential). For this reason, as shown in FIG. 16, the level of the signal output from the receiving coil 26b is shifted by 0.5 ⁇ Vdd (power supply potential).
- the clamp circuit 62 can take, for example, the configuration shown in FIG. That is, the clamp circuit 62 can be composed of capacitors D1 and D2. As shown in FIG. 16, the clamp circuit 62 clamps the signal output from the reception coil 26 b so as not to exceed the power supply potential Vdd and so as not to become less than the ground potential (0 V). As a result, the peak voltage of the signal output from the clamp circuit 62 becomes equal to or lower than the withstand voltage of the detection circuit 47. Further, when the clamp circuit 62 is actually composed of elements, the clamp circuit 62 has a parasitic capacitance. As shown in FIG. 15, when the clamp circuit 62 is formed of a diode, the diode forming the clamp circuit 62 has reverse recovery characteristics.
- the pulse width of the signal input from the receiving coil 26b increases, and the signal is converted into a signal of a low frequency band by that amount.
- the signal output from the clamp circuit 62 has a peak voltage that is equal to or lower than the withstand voltage of the detection circuit 47 and a frequency band within the frequency region that can be detected by the detection circuit 47. Therefore, also in the signal transmission circuit according to the second embodiment, the input signal input to the transmission circuit can be stably transmitted to the reception circuit 60.
- the clamp circuit 62 shown in FIG. 15 is used, but the clamp circuit 74 shown in FIG. 17 can also be used.
- a resistor R1 is disposed between the receiving coil and the diodes D1 and D2.
- a circuit shown in FIG. 18 may be arranged between the reception coil 26b and the high pass filter.
- the circuit shown in FIG. 18 is a circuit in which a low-pass filter and a clamp circuit are connected. Even if such a circuit is used, the signal output from the receiving coil 26b can be converted into a signal of a low frequency band, and the peak voltage can be reduced.
