The ISO724x-Q1 family of devices transmit digital data across a silicon dioxide based isolation barrier. The digital input signal (IN) of the device is sampled by a transmitter and at every data edge the transmitter sends a corresponding differential signal across the isolation barrier. When the input signal is static, the refresh logic periodically sends the necessary differential signal from the transmitter. On the other side of the isolation barrier, the receiver converts the differential signal into a single-ended signal which is output on the OUT pin through a buffer. If the receiver does not receive a data or refresh signal, the timeout logic detects the loss of signal or power from the input side and drives the output to the default level.
