10.1 Application Information

The ISOM871x devices are single-channel opto-emulators with diode-emulator inputs and digital outputs. The devices use on-off keying modulation to transmit data across the isolation barrier. Since an isolation barrier separates the two sides of these devices, each side can be sourced independently with voltages and currents within recommended operating conditions. As an example, it is possible to supply the ISOM871x VCC pin with 3.3 V (which is within the 2.7-V to 5.5-V range for VCC) and drive the diode-emulator input with 5 mA (which is also within the 2-mA to 20-mA range for IF).

The opto-emulator may also be used as a current-to-voltage translator or voltage level-translator in addition to providing isolation. Opto-emulators do not conform to any specific interface standard and are intended for isolating single-ended digital signal lines. Isolation devices like ISOM871x are typically placed between a data controller (that is, an MCU or FPGA), and a sensor, data converter, or a line transceiver, regardless of the interface type or standard.
