ISO7420FCC utilize single-ended TTL-logic switching technology. Its supply voltage range is from 2.7 V to 5.5 V for both supplies, VCC1 and VCC2. When designing with digital isolators, it is important to keep in mind that due to 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 (i.e. μC or UART), and a data converter or a line transceiver, regardless of the interface type or standard.
ISO7420FCC can be used to isolate power MOSFETs from sensitive logic circuitry in Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) as shown in Figure 18. Low default output of ISO7420FCC is critical for proper operation of power MOSFETs in such applications.
Unlike optocouplers, which require external components to improve performance, provide bias, or limit current, the ISO7420FCC only requires two external bypass capacitors to operate.
(Calculated over recommended operating temperature range and Silicon process variation).
At VCC1 = VCC2 = 5 V ±10%:
At VCC1 = VCC2 = 3.3 V ± 10%:
At VCC1 = VCC2 = 2.7 V:
f is data rate of each channel measured in Mbps; CL is the capacitive load of each channel measured in pF; ICC1(maximum) and ICC2(max) are measured in mA.
(Calculated for TA = 25°C and nominal Silicon process material).
At VCC1 = VCC2 = 5 V:
At VCC1 = VCC2 = 3.3 V:
At VCC1 = VCC2 = 2.7 V:
f is Data Rate of each channel measured in Mbps; CL is the Capacitive Load of each channel measured in pF; ICC1(typ) and ICC2(typ) are measured in mA.
Figure 20 shows the INA input on Channel 1 and OUTA output on Channel 2 of an oscilloscope.
