Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for isolating digital signals are described. A carrier signal can be modulated using a first signal to generate a first modulated signal. The carrier signal and the first modulated signal can be transmitted through a forward path in an isolation barrier, where transmitting the carrier signal through the isolation barrier can transform the carrier signal into a delayed carrier signal. The first modulated signal can be demodulated to recover the first signal. The delayed carrier signal can be modulated using a second signal to generate a second modulated signal. The delayed carrier signal and the second modulated signal can be transmitted through a return path in the isolation barrier, where the return path and the forward path has opposite directions.

Abstract: A transformer less battery charger system. In one embodiment, the battery charger system includes input terminals for receiving an AC voltage, output terminals for receiving terminals of a rechargeable battery pack, and a non-isolated DC-DC converter coupled between the input terminals and the output terminals. A device is also coupled somewhere between the input terminals and the output terminals. The device is configured to selectively and indirectly couple the input terminals to the output terminals. More particularly, the device indirectly couples the input terminals to the output terminals when the rechargeable battery pack terminals are received by the output terminals, and the device indirectly decouples the input terminals from the output terminals when the rechargeable battery pack terminals are separated from the output terminals.

The transmission of Ic to the battery is interrupted in response to the processing unit processing the first digital signal. Current provided by the battery is divided into Idc and Idcr. Idc is transmitted to a device. A second voltage is generated that is related to Idcr. The second voltage is converted into a second digital signal. The processing unit receives and processes the second digital signal in accordance with instructions stored in the memory. The transmission of Idc to the battery is interrupted in response to the processing unit processing the second digital signal.
