2.2.1 ISO121x

The ISO1211 and ISO1212 devices are isolated 24-V digital input receivers, compliant to IEC 61131-2 Type 1, 2, and 3 characteristics, and suitable for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and motor-control digital input modules. Unlike traditional optocoupler solutions with discrete, imprecise current limiting circuitry, the ISO121x devices provide a simple, low-power solution with an accurate current limit to enable the design of compact and high-density I/O modules. These devices do not require field-side power supply and are compatible with high-side or low-side switches. The ISO121x devices operate over the supply range of 2.25 V to 5.5 V, supporting 2.5-V, 3.3-V, and 5-V controllers. A ±60-V input tolerance with reverse polarity protection helps ensure the input pins are protected in case of faults with negligible reverse current. These devices support up to 4-Mbps data rates passing a minimum pulse width of 150 ns for high-speed operation. The ISO1211 device is ideal for designs that require channel-to-channel isolation and the ISO1212 device is ideal for multichannel space-constrained designs.

Figure 2-2 shows the functional block diagram of one channel of the ISO121x family.
