Methods and apparatus for a signal isolator that mitigates the effects of CMTI strikes. In embodiments, a first die comprises a transmit module and the first die has a first voltage domain; and a second die comprises a receive module including a receive amplifier configured to receive from the transmit module a transmit signal that includes a differential signal and a common mode current. The second die may have a second voltage domain with the first and second die being separated by an isolation barrier. In embodiment, the receive amplifier includes a differential amplifier to receive the differential input signal from the transmit module; and a common mode module configured to sense the common mode current and sink or source the common mode current and minimize changes to an input impedance of the receive amplifier.

Common mode transient suppression

A sensor includes: a reference magnetic field generator configured to generate a reference magnetic field that is modulated at a first frequency, a first magnetic field sensing element that is configured to generate a first internal signal that is modulated at a second frequency, and a second magnetic field sensing element that is configured to generate a second internal signal that is modulated at the second frequency. A first amplifier is configured to receive the first internal signal and output a first amplified signal; and a second amplifier is configured to receive the second internal signal and output a second amplified signal. A gain adjustment circuit is configured to produce a gain adjustment signal and adjust a gain of at least one of the first amplifier and the second amplifier based on the gain adjustment signal.
