JAJSU48A April 2024 – May 2024 ISOM8610
PRODUCTION DATA
The input side of the ISOM8610 is current-driven. Placing a series resistor, RIN, in series with the input as shown in Figure 9-1 is recommended to limit the amount of current flowing into the AN pin.
RIN can be sized to minimize current flow and power consumption through the ISOM8610 input-side. RIN must be a value that limits the input forward current to be within the Recommended Operating Conditions for the ISOM8610. The equation to calculate RIN for a given input voltage, VIN, and desired input forward current, IF, is shown in Equation 1 where VF is the maximum specification for the ISOM8610 input forward voltage:
For example, with a 24V input and 2mA desired IF, RIN can be calculated as:
