PRODUCTION DATA.
A minimum of four layers is required to accomplish a low EMI PCB design (see Figure 34). Layer stacking should be in the following order (top-to-bottom): high-speed signal layer, ground plane, power plane and low-frequency signal layer.
If an additional supply voltage plane or signal layer is needed, add a second power or ground plane system to the stack to keep it symmetrical. This makes the stack mechanically stable and prevents it from warping. Also the power and ground plane of each power system can be placed closer together, thus increasing the high-frequency bypass capacitance significantly.
The ISO782xLL family of devices requires no special layout considerations to mitigate electromagnetic
emissions.
For detailed layout recommendations, see the Digital Isolator Design Guide (SLLA284).
For digital circuit boards operating at less than 150 Mbps (or rise and fall times higher than 1 ns) and trace lengths of up to 10 inches, use standard FR–4 UL94V-0 epoxy-glass as PCB material. ThisPCB is preferred over cheaper alternatives because of lower dielectric losses at high frequencies, less moisture absorption, greater strength and stiffness, and self-extinguishing flammability-characteristics.
