Abstract
In order to transfer a signal for driving a high-side semiconductor power switch, a signal transfer device includes a transmitting circuit, a receiving circuit, and an insulating transformer provided between the transmitting circuit and the receiving circuit. In the insulating transformer, a secondary side of a set transformer part and a secondary side of a reset transformer part are magnetically coupled. The magnetic coupling direction is formed so that a secondary-side terminal of the transformer part and a secondary-side terminal of the transformer part can have polarities reverse to each other. Thus, it is possible to provide a signal transfer device for transferring a signal through an insulating transformer, in which occurrence of common-mode noise can be suppressed and a countermeasure circuit against the noise can be simplified.
