9.1 Application Information

The ISO642x devices are high-performance, low power, dual-channel digital isolators. TheISO642x devices use single-ended CMOS-logic switching technology.

The supply voltage range is from 2.25V to 5.5V for both supplies, VCC1 and VCC2. Since an isolation barrier separates the two sides, each side can be sourced independently with any voltage within the Recommended Operating Conditions. As an example, supplying ISO642x 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. You can use the digital isolator as a logic-level translator in addition to providing isolation. 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.
