The ISO7821 is a high-performance, dual-channel digital isolator with 5.7 kVRMS isolation voltage. It utilizes single-ended CMOS-logic switching technology. Its supply voltage range is from 2.25 V to 5.5 V for both supplies, VCC1 and VCC2. When designing with digital isolators, it is important to keep in mind that due to the single-ended design structure, digital isolators do not conform to any specific interface standard and are only intended for isolating single-ended CMOS or TTL digital signal lines. The isolator is typically placed between the data controller (that is, μC or UART), and a data converter or a line transceiver, regardless of the interface type or standard.
ISO7820DW can be used with Texas Instruments' mixed signal micro-controller, digital-to-analog converter, transformer driver, and voltage regulator to create an isolated 4-20 mA current loop.
For the ISO7820, use the parameters shown in Table 2.
PARAMETER | VALUE |
---|---|
Supply voltage | 2.25 V to 5.5 V |
Decoupling capacitor between VCC1 and GND1 | 0.1 µF |
Decoupling capacitor from VCC2 and GND2 | 0.1 µF |
Unlike optocouplers, which need external components to improve performance, provide bias, or limit current, ISO7820 only needs two external bypass capacitors to operate.
Many applications in harsh industrial environment are sensitive to disturbances such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transient (EFT), surge and electromagnetic emissions. These electromagnetic disturbances are regulated by international standards such as IEC 61000-4-x and CISPR 22. Although system-level performance and reliability depends, to a large extent, on the application board design and layout, the ISO7820 incorporate many chip-level design improvements for overall system robustness. Some of these improvements include:
