Abstract
A circuit includes an isolator that provides isolated signal communications between a host-side circuit and a converter-side circuit. The isolated signal communications include a conversion start signal generated in the host-side circuit passing through the isolator to become an isolated conversion start signal in the converter-side circuit. The isolated signal communications includes an isolated system clock generated in the converter-side circuit passing through the isolator to become a system clock in the host-side circuit. A sampling clock generator in the host-side circuit generates the conversion start signal based on the system clock. A logic circuit in the converter-side circuit re-clocks the isolated conversion start signal through the logic circuit.
