  • Publication number: 20240030950
    Abstract: A method for calibrating an isolator product includes receiving a calibration signal on a differential pair of nodes of a receiver signal path of a first integrated circuit die of the isolator product. The method includes generating a diagnostic signal having a level corresponding to an average amplitude of the calibration signal on the differential pair of nodes. The method includes configuring a programmable receiver signal path based on the diagnostic signal. Generating the diagnostic signal may include providing an analog signal based on a full-wave rectified version of the calibration signal on the differential pair of nodes. Generating the diagnostic signal may include converting the analog signal to a digital signal.

  • Patent number: 11831350
    Abstract: A method for measuring a received signal includes receiving a differential pair of signals by a differential pair of input nodes of a differential circuit. The method includes attempting to match a first current through a first node of the differential circuit corresponding to the differential pair of signals to a second current through a second node of the differential circuit corresponding to a feedback signal. The method includes generating an output measurement signal based on the first current and the second current. The output measurement signal has a level corresponding to an average amplitude of the differential pair of signals.

  • Patent number: 11750231
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a receiver of an isolator product includes adjusting a peaking frequency of a receiver signal path of a first integrated circuit die of the isolator product and a gain of the receiver signal path based on a predetermined peaking frequency, a predetermined gain, a first level of a diagnostic signal during a first interval, and a second level of the diagnostic signal during a second interval. The first interval and the second interval are non-overlapping intervals. The method may include receiving a calibration signal on a differential pair of nodes of the receiver signal path of the first integrated circuit die. The method may include generating a diagnostic signal corresponding to an average amplitude of a received version of the calibration signal.
