Abstract: An isolated gate driver has a first portion in a first voltage domain and a second portion in a second voltage domain. The first and second portions are coupled by an isolation communication channel. The isolated gate driver transmits across the isolation communication channel a serial word containing first drive strength information and simultaneously transmits gate information with the serial word across the isolation communication channel. The gate information indicates a state of a gate signal for a transistor coupled to the second portion of the isolated gate driver. A demodulator circuit demodulates a signal containing the gate information and the drive strength information transmitted across the isolation communication channel in the serial word. A gate signal output circuit coupled to the demodulator circuit supplies the gate signal based on the gate information with a drive strength of the gate signal being based on the drive strength information.

Abstract: In an RC calibration circuit, a single reference current is used to generate voltages across both a resistive and capacitive element. The component value of one of the resistive and capacitive element is successively altered until the voltages are substantially equal. Additionally, parasitic capacitances in the circuit are precharged to the resistive element voltage prior to the comparison. The RC calibration circuit eliminates the errors due to current matching and parasitic capacitances in prior art calibration circuits. The circuit includes a comparator and a digital control circuit (DCW) including a successive approximation register (SAR) holding the value of the digital control word used to control the component value of the tunable resistive or capacitive element. The SAR alters the DCW in an iterative, bit-by-bit binary searching pattern in response to the comparator output.
