St. Patrick’s Sayings
Shamrock• The Irish invented bagpipes and gave them to the Scots as a joke. The Scots haven't seen the joke yet.

• The Irish are a very fair people. They never speak well of one another.

High-Performance
Bidirectional Isolators

IL712IsoLoop Isolators are the award-winning industry standard for solid-state signal isolation and the ultimate in speed and performance.

Their unique spintronic technology make them especially good for bidirectional applications. IsoLoop isolators are incredibly fast, and inherently well-matched for remarkable propagation delay, pulse-width distortion, jitter, and channel-to-channel skew.

Key specifications are:
  • 18 ns max. propagation delay
  • Pulse-width distortion to 300 ps
  • 100 ps jitter
  • 3 ns max. channel-to-channel skew

And all IsoLoop Isolators have these key features:
  • 2.5 kVrms isolation (1 min.)
  • Low EMC footprint
  • MSOP, SOIC, and PDIP packages
  • UL1577 & IEC 61010-2001 approved

Popular bidirectional applications include serial interfaces, isolated CAN Bus, isolated SPI, and isolated A/D converters.

A bidirectional application example is shown in the Application Corner below.

NVE’s broad line of high-performance bidirectional Isolators includes 34 part types. Because the real world is bidirectional.

Isolated USB  
USB Logo
Isolating USB reduces noise and eliminates ground loops. Isolating the input to a USB controller (rather than the bus lines) requires fewer isolation channels and is therefore usually the simplest solution, as shown in the following illustrative circuit:

Isolated USB UART Using an IL712

The Microchip MCP2200 is a USB 2.0 to UART protocol converter. IL712/IL721 Series Isolators are best-in-class bidirectional isolators with a remarkable 100 ps of jitter. The isolators are available in PDIPs, SOICs, or unique MSOPs to reduce board space.
