Abstract
A surgical system includes a power supply, a surgical instrument, and a power and data interface assembly. The power and data interface assembly includes a transformer having a primary winding, to which a first modulator and a second demodulator are coupled, and a secondary winding, to which a second modulator and a first demodulator are coupled. The power supply provides a power signal to the first modulator. The first modulator is configured to modulate, according to a first type of modulation, the power signal based on first data. The modulated power signal is communicated by the first modulator to the first demodulator by way of the transformer. The second modulator is configured to modulate, according to a second type of modulation, a second signal based on second data. The modulated second signal is communicated by the second modulator to the second demodulator by way of the transformer.
