2.2.5 ISOM8600

The ISOM8600 is a functionally isolated opto-emulator switch that is pin-compatible, drop-in replacements to popular photo-relays. While standard optocouplers use an LED as the input stage, the ISOM8600 uses a current controlled emulated diode as the input stage. The input stage is isolated from the driver stage by TI's proprietary silicon dioxide-based (SiO2) isolation barrier, which not only provides robust isolation, but also offers best-in-class performance.

The ISOM8600 isolates high voltage signals and offers performance, reliability, and flexibility advantages over traditional optocouplers which age over time. The devices are based on CMOS isolation technology for low-power and high-speed operation, therefore the devices are resistant to the wear-out effects found in optocouplers that degrade performance with increasing temperature, forward current, and device age.
