ADVANCE INFORMATION
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The ISO6163 devices are high-performance, six-channel digital isolators. These devices come with 4 high-speed channels and two low-speed control channels with automatic enable controlling the high-speed outputs in normal or low-power modes. The ISO6163 devices use single-ended CMOS-logic switching technology. The supply voltage range is from 2.5V 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 recommended operating conditions allowing the device to provide level shifting in addition to isolation. As an example, supplying the ISO6163 VCC1 with 3.3V (which is within 2.5V to 5.5V) and VCC2 with 5V (which is also within 2.5V to 5.5V) is possible. 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.
