Abstract
An isolation receiver includes at least one isolation capacitor to provide a first logic signal in response to a second logic signal that is provided by a transmitter. The receiver includes a signal processing circuit to amplify the first logic signal to generate an amplified signal, and the signal processing circuit includes a an amplifier to apply a nonlinear function. A comparator of the receiver provides a third logic signal in response to the amplified signal.
