PRODUCTION DATA.
The ISOW7821 high-performance, dual channel digital isolator with integrated DC-DC converter. Typically digital isolators require two power supplies isolated from each other to power up both sides of device. Due to the integrated DC-DC converter in the ISOW7821 device, the isolated supply is generated inside the device that can be used to power isolated side of the device and peripherals on isolated side, thus saving board space. The ISOW7821 device uses single-ended CMOS-logic switching technology. 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 a microcontroller or UART), and a data converter or a line transceiver, regardless of the interface type or standard.
The ISOW7821 device is suitable for applications that have limited board space and desire more integration. These devices are also suitable for very high voltage applications, where power transformers meeting the required isolation specifications are bulky and expensive.
