A communication isolation system is provided that may employ error
correction techniques for the data communicated across an isolation
barrier used for connecting electronic circuitry to a communication line.
In one embodiment, each data bit to be transmitted to or from the phone
line may be transmitted three times across an isolation barrier so that
it is possible to withstand a single electronic fast transient event. In
another embodiment, the isolation barrier may be a capacitive isolation
barrier. In another embodiment, the three transmissions of the data bit
may be received across the isolation barrier and delay elements utilized
to provide the data bits to a logic circuit in a synchronized fashion so
that the three data bits may be compared to determine the error corrected
data.
