2.2.3.1 Host (SPI) Interfacing Using the ISO6741

The binary input module is isolated from the host interface. The ISO6741 reinforced digital isolator has been considered to achieve the required isolation. The high performance, quad-channel isolator provides a cost-optimized solution for communicating SPI data from the ADC to the host processor while shielding from noise currents.
