8 Detailed Description

8.1 Overview

The isolator in Figure 12 is based on a capacitive isolation barrier technique. The I/O channel of the device consists of two internal data channels, a high-frequency channel (HF) with a bandwidth from 100 kbps up to
50 Mbps, and a low-frequency channel (LF) covering the range from 100 kbps down to DC. In principle, a single-ended input signal entering the HF-channel is split into a differential signal through the inverter gate at the input. The following capacitor-resistor networks differentiate the signal into transients, which then are converted into differential pulses by two comparators. The comparator outputs drive a NOR-gate flip-flop whose output feeds an output multiplexer. A decision logic (DCL) at the driving output of the flip-flop measures the durations between signal transients. If the duration between two consecutive transients exceeds a certain time limit, (as in the case of a low-frequency signal), the DCL forces the output-multiplexer to switch from the high- to the low-frequency channel.

Because low-frequency input signals require the internal capacitors to assume prohibitively large values, these signals are pulse-width modulated (PWM) with the carrier frequency of an internal oscillator, thus creating a sufficiently high frequency signal, capable of passing the capacitive barrier. As the input is modulated, a low-pass filter (LPF) is needed to remove the high-frequency carrier from the actual data before passing it on to the output multiplexer.

NOTE

Creepage and clearance requirements should be applied according to the specific equipment isolation standards of an application. Care should be taken to maintain the creepage and clearance distance of a board design to ensure that the mounting pads of the isolator on the printed circuit board do not reduce this distance.

Creepage and clearance on a printed circuit board become equal in certain cases. Techniques such as inserting grooves and/or ribs on a printed circuit board are used to help increase these specifications.

8.3.3 Safety Limiting Values

Safety limiting intends to prevent potential damage to the isolation barrier upon failure of input or output circuitry. A failure of the IO can allow low resistance to ground or the supply and, without current limiting, dissipate sufficient power to overheat the die and damage the isolation barrier, potentially leading to secondary system failures.

PARAMETER TEST CONDITIONS MIN TYP MAX UNIT
IS Safety input, output, or supply current DBQ-16 θJA = 104.5°C/W, VI = 5.5V, TJ = 150°C, TA = 25°C 217 mA
θJA = 104.5°C/W, VI = 3.6V, TJ = 150°C, TA = 25°C 332
θJA = 104.5°C/W, VI = 2.7V, TJ = 150°C, TA = 25°C 443
TS Maximum safety temperature 150 °C

The safety-limiting constraint is the absolute-maximum junction temperature specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The power dissipation and junction-to-air thermal impedance of the device installed in the application hardware determines the junction temperature. The assumed junction-to-air thermal resistance in the Thermal Information table is that of a device installed on a high-K test board for leaded surface-mount packages. The power is the recommended maximum input voltage times the current. The junction temperature is then the ambient temperature plus the power times the junction-to-air thermal resistance.
