SLLSEM3H November 2014 – May 2024 ISO7841
PRODUCTION DATA
The ISO7841 device uses an ON-OFF keying (OOK) modulation scheme to transmit the digital data across a silicon-dioxide based isolation barrier. The transmitter sends a high-frequency carrier across the barrier to represent one digital state and sends no signal to represent the other digital state. The receiver demodulates the signal after advanced signal conditioning and produces the output through a buffer stage. If the EN pin is low then the output goes to high impedance. The ISO7841 device also incorporates advanced circuit techniques to maximize the CMTI performance and minimize the radiated emissions because of the high-frequency carrier and IO buffer switching. The conceptual block diagram of a digital capacitive isolator, Figure 7-1, shows a functional block diagram of a typical channel.
