PRODUCTION DATA
Thermal considerations constrain operation at different input current and voltage levels. The power dissipated inside the ISO121x devices is determined by the voltage at the SENSE pin (VSENSE) and the current drawn by the device (I(INx+SENSEx)). The internal power dissipated, when taken with the junction-to-air thermal resistance defined in the Section 5.4 table can be used to determine the junction temperature for a given ambient temperature. The junction temperature must not exceed 150°C.
Figure 8-5 shows the maximum allowed ambient temperature for the ISO1211 device for different current limit and input voltage conditions. The ISO1211 device can be used with a VSENSE voltage up to 60V and an ambient temperature of up to 125°C for an RSENSE value of 562Ω, which corresponds to a typical current limit of 2.25mA. At higher levels of current limit, either the ambient temperature or the maximum value of the VSENSE voltage must be derated. In any design, the voltage drop across the external series resistor, RTHR, reduces the maximum voltage received by the SENSE pin and helps extend the allowable module input voltage and ambient temperature range.

Figure 8-6 shows the maximum allowed ambient temperature for the ISO1212 device for different current limit and input voltage conditions. The ISO1212 device can be used with a VSENSE voltage up to 36V and an ambient temperature of up to 125°C for an RSENSE value of 562Ω, which corresponds to a typical current limit of 2.25mA. At higher current limit levels, either the ambient temperature or the maximum value of the VSENSE voltage must be derated. Operation of the ISO1212 device with an RSENSE value of 200Ω and with both channels active is not recommended beyond a VSENSE voltage of 36V. In any design, the voltage drop across the series resistor, RTHR, reduces the maximum voltage received by the SENSE pin and helps extend the allowable module input voltage and ambient temperature range.
