Abstract
An integrated circuit package includes a portion of a lead frame disposed within an encapsulation. The lead frame includes a first conductor including a first conductive loop and a third conductive loop disposed substantially within the encapsulation. A second conductor formed in the lead frame is galvanically isolated from the first conductor and includes a second conductive loop disposed substantially within the encapsulation proximate to the first conductive loop to provide a communication link between the first and second conductors. The third conductive loop is wound in an opposite direction relative to the first conductive loop. A transmit circuit is disposed within the encapsulation and is coupled to the second conductor to provide a transmitter current. A receive circuit is disposed within the encapsulation and is coupled to the first conductor to receive a transmitter induced signal in response to the transmitter current.
