ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER TO TRANSMIT DATA AND POWER

In described examples, a system includes a transformer including a primary winding and a secondary winding. The system also includes a primary side circuit coupled to the primary winding of the transformer. The primary side circuit includes a primary controller. The system further includes a secondary side circuit coupled to the secondary winding of the transformer. The primary controller coupled to cause the primary side circuit to transfer power and intermittently transmit data to the secondary side circuit via the primary winding and the secondary winding of the transformer.
