NEW! IL815 and IL817
Top-of-the-Line 4-Channel Isolators
 
IL815TE Top-of-the-Line IsolatorThe newest members of the groundbreaking IL800-Series Isolator family are four-channel, wide-body isolator. Four-channel isolators are one of our most popular configurations, with applications including analog-to-digital convertors and SPI interfaces.

IL815TE Top-of-the-Line IsolatorThe new IL815TE and IL817TE are also the first IL800-Series Isolators in NVE’s unique True 8™ eight-millimeter creepage wide-body package.

The IL800-Series is the industry’s new top-of-the-line isolators with best-in-class specifications:
  •  125°C max. operating temperature
  •  110 Mbps
  •  10 ns propagation delay
  •  DC-correct; deterministic power-up
  •  50 kV/µs typ.; 30 kV/µs min. transient immunity
  •  IEC 60747-5-5 (VDE0884) certified—600 Vrms WV
  •  44000-year barrier life
  •  Low EMC footprint
  •  True 8™ eight-millimeter creepage wide-body package
 
The new parts are in stock for immediate delivery, along with the previously-announced two-channel IL821T-3E and three-channel IL814T-3E.

Isolating SPI With IL817 Isolators
 
Isolating Serial Peripheral Interface Bus (SPI) eliminates ground loops between analog and digital sections and improves resolution by reducing noise.

With their high speed, high temperature, and high transient immunity, NVE’s new IL800-Series isolators are ideal (see story above).

Here’s an illustration of single-channel isolated delta-sigma ADC:
