9.1 Application Information

The ISOS141-SEP four channel digital isolator provides flexibility for multiple use cases in LEO applications. Used in conjunction with isolated power supplies, these devices help prevent noise currents on data buses, such as UART, SPI, RS-485, RS-232, and CAN from damaging sensitive circuitry. The device can also be used to isolate multiple static signals in a system to provide additional redundancy and robustness. 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, MCU or FPGA), and a data converter or a line transceiver, regardless of the interface type or standard.

Additionally, this digital isolator can be used as a logic-level translator in addition to providing isolation. Since an isolation barrier separates the two sides, each side can be sourced independently with any voltage within recommended operating conditions. The supply voltage range is from 2.25V to 5.5V for both supplies, VCC1 and VCC2. As an example, supplying ISOS141-SEP VCC1 with 3.3V (which is within 2.25V to 5.5V) and VCC2 with 5V (which is also within 2.25V to 5.5V) is possible.
