Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
The ISO7842 device is a high-performance, quad-channel digital isolator with a 5.7-kVRMS isolation voltage per UL 1577. The device comes with enable pins on each side that can be used to put the respective outputs in high impedance for multi-master driving applications and reduce power consumption. The ISO7842 device uses single-ended CMOS-logic switching technology. The supply voltage range is from 2.25 V to 5.5 V for both supplies, VCC1 and VCC2. When designing with digital isolators, keep in mind that because of 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.
Figure 18 shows the typical isolated RS-232 interface implementation.
For this design example, use the parameters shown in Table 3.
PARAMETER | VALUE |
---|---|
Supply voltage | 2.25 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 require external components to improve performance, provide bias, or limit current, the ISO7842 device only requires two external bypass capacitors to operate.
The typical eye diagram of the ISO7842 device indicates low jitter and wide open eye at the maximum data rate of 100 Mbps.
