8 Detailed Description

8.1 Overview

The ISO7831x device has an ON-OFF keying (OOK) modulation scheme to transmit the digital data across a silicon dioxide based isolation barrier. The transmitter sends a high frequency carrier across the barrier to represent one digital state and sends no signal to represent the other digital state. The receiver demodulates the signal after advanced signal conditioning and produces the output through a buffer stage. If the EN pin is low then the output goes to high impedance. The ISO7831x device also incorporates advanced circuit techniques to maximize the CMTI performance and minimize the radiated emissions because of the high frequency carrier and IO buffer switching. The conceptual block diagram of a digital capacitive isolator, Figure 17, shows a functional block diagram of a typical channel.

8.3.1 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Considerations

Many applications in harsh industrial environment are sensitive to disturbances such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transient (EFT), surge and electromagnetic emissions. These electromagnetic disturbances are regulated by international standards such as IEC 61000-4-x and CISPR 22. Although system-level performance and reliability depends, to a large extent, on the application board design and layout, the ISO7831x device incorporates many chip-level design improvements for overall system robustness. Some of these improvements include:

  • Robust ESD protection cells for input and output signal pins and inter-chip bond pads.
  • Low-resistance connectivity of ESD cells to supply and ground pins.
  • Enhanced performance of high voltage isolation capacitor for better tolerance of ESD, EFT and surge events.
  • Bigger on-chip decoupling capacitors to bypass undesirable high energy signals through a low impedance path.
  • PMOS and NMOS devices isolated from each other by using guard rings to avoid triggering of parasitic SCRs.
  • Reduced common mode currents across the isolation barrier by ensuring purely differential internal operation.

8.4 Device Functional Modes

Table 2 lists the ISO7831x functional modes.

Table 2. Function Table(1)

VCCI VCCO INPUT
(INx)(3)		 OUTPUT ENABLE
(ENx)		 OUTPUT
(OUTx)		 COMMENTS
PU PU H H or open H Normal Operation:
A channel output assumes the logic state of the input.
L H or open L
Open H or open Default Default mode: When INx is open, the corresponding channel output goes to its default logic state. Default is High for ISO7831 and Low for ISO7831F.
X PU X L Z A low value of output enable causes the outputs to be high-impedance
PD PU X H or open Default Default mode: When VCCI is unpowered, a channel output assumes the logic state based on the selected default option. Default is High for ISO7831 and Low for ISO7831F.
When VCCI transitions from unpowered to powered-up, a channel output assumes the logic state of the input.
When VCCI transitions from powered-up to unpowered, channel output assumes the selected default state.
X PD X X Undetermined When VCCO is unpowered, a channel output state is undetermined (2).
When VCCO transitions from unpowered to powered-up, a channel output assumes the logic state of the input
(1) VCCI = Input-side VCC; VCCO = Output-side VCC; PU = Powered up (VCC ≥ 2.25 V); PD = Powered down (VCC ≤ 1.7 V); X = Irrelevant; H = High level; L = Low level ; Z = High Impedance
(2) The outputs are in undetermined state when 1.7 V < VCCI, VCCO < 2.25 V.
(3) A strongly driven input signal can weakly power the floating VCC via an internal protection diode and cause undetermined output.
