Key Differentiators

  • iCoupler technology eliminates optocoupler drawbacks (vs Optocouplers)
  • Higher CMTI than many competitors (vs TP8485E)
  • Automotive grade option available (vs ADUM1201BRZ)

Design Notes

Place 0.1Β΅F decoupling capacitors close to VDD1 and VDD2 pins to minimize noise. Use a solid ground plane on both sides of the isolation barrier, but do not connect the grounds together except through the isolator. Keep the isolation barrier clear of copper traces to maintain isolation rating.

Ensure the PCB layout provides adequate creepage and clearance distances between the two sides of the isolator to meet safety standards. For 2500Vrms isolation, maintain at least 4mm creepage and 2mm clearance on the PCB, depending on the application's safety requirements.

Do not exceed the maximum data rate of 1Mbps, as this may cause signal integrity issues. Also, ensure that the input signals have proper rise/fall times; slow edges can cause excessive propagation delay. Use pull-up or pull-down resistors as needed to define logic levels.
