ISO733x utilize single-ended TTL-logic switching technology. Its supply voltage range is from 3 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 (that is, μC or UART), and a data converter or a line transceiver, regardless of the interface type or standard.
ISO7331C combined with Texas Instruments' mixed signal micro-controller, RS-485 transceiver, transformer driver, and voltage regulator can create an isolated RS-485 system as shown in Figure 18.

ICC1 and ICC2 are typical supply currents measured in mA, f is data rate measured in Mbps, CL is the capacitive load measured in pF.
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 ISO733x incorporate many chip-level design improvements for overall system robustness. Some of these improvements include:
Typical eye diagrams of ISO733x below indicate low jitter and wide open eye at the maximum data rate of 25 Mbps.
Unlike Optocouplers, which need external components to improve performance, provide bias, or limit current, ISO733x only needs two external bypass capacitors to operate.
