Abstract
A signal transmission device that transmits a driving signal for a power transistor from a primary circuit system to a secondary circuit system while isolating between the primary and secondary circuit systems includes: a first fault detection circuit configured to detect a fault in the primary circuit system; a second fault detection circuit configured to detect a fault in the secondary circuit system; a first signal transmission path configured to transmit the result of detection by the second fault detection circuit from the secondary circuit system to the primary circuit system while isolating between the primary and secondary circuit systems; and a self-test circuit configured to perform a self-test on each of the first fault detection circuit, the second fault detection circuit, and the first signal transmission path.
