The input of ISOM871x can be driven by an inverting buffer or non-inverting buffer to change the truth table of the ISOM871x or provide sufficient input forward current to drive the device. Using a buffer is optional. If a buffer is used, the equation for RIN remains the same as shown above.
Sizing RIN based on the output voltage of the buffer, VBUF, and the desired forward input current, IF, Equation 1 becomes:
For example, using a buffer with a 5-V output, and a desired IF of 5-mA, RIN is calculated as:
