Description
NVE's family of high-speed digital isolators are CMOS devices created
by integrating active circuitry and our GMR-based and patented
*
IsoLoop
®
technology. The IL260 and IL261 are five channel versions of
the world's fastest digital isolator with a 110 Mbaud data rate. These
devices provide the designer with the most compact isolated logic
devices yet available. All transmit and receive channels operate at 110
Mbd over the full temperature and supply voltage range. The symmetric
magnetic coupling barrier provides a typical propagation delay of only
10 ns and a pulse width distortion of 2 ns achieving the best
specifications of any isolator device. Typical transient immunity of 30
kV/µs is unsurpassed. The IL260 has five transmit channels, while the
IL261 has four transmit channels and one receive channel. Their high
channel density make them ideally suited to isolating multiple ADCs
and DACs, parallel buses and peripheral interfaces.
Performance is specified over the temperature range of -40°C to +85°C
without any derating.

Preliminary
Data Transmission Rates
The reliability of a transmission system is directly related to the
accuracy and quality of the transmitted digital information. For a
digital system, those parameters which determine the limits of the
data transmission are
pulse width distortion
and
propagation delay
skew.
Propagation delay is the time taken for the signal to travel through
the device. This is usually different when sending a low-to-high
than when sending a high-to-low signal. This difference, or error,
is called pulse width distortion (PWD) and is usually in ns. It may
also be expressed as a percentage:
PWD% = Maximum Pulse Width Distortion (ns)
Signal Pulse Width (ns)
For example:
For data rates of 12.5 Mb
PWD% =
3 ns
80 ns
x 100% =
3.75%
x 100%
Dynamic Power Consumption
Isoloop
devices achieve their low power consumption from the
manner by which they transmit data across the isolation barrier. By
detecting the edge transitions of the input logic signal and
converting these to narrow current pulses, a magnetic field is
created around the GMR Wheatstone bridge. Depending on the
direction of the magnetic field, the bridge causes the output
comparator to switch following the input logic signal. Since the
current pulses are narrow, about 2.5ns wide, the power
consumption is independent of mark-to-space ratio and solely
dependent on frequency. This has obvious advantages over
optocouplers whose power consumption is heavily dependent on
its on-state and frequency.
The approximate power supply current per channel for
Power Supply Decoupling
Both power supplies to these devices should be decoupled with
low ESR 100 nF ceramic capacitors. For data rates in excess of
10MBd, use of ground planes for both GND1 and GND2 is highly
recommended. Capacitors should be located as close as possible to
the device.
This figure is almost
three times
better than for any available
optocoupler with the same temperature range, and
two times
better
than any optocoupler regardless of published temperature range.
The
IsoLoop
®
range of isolators will run at almost 35 Mb before
reaching the 10% limit.
Propagation delay skew is the difference in time taken for two or
more channels to propagate their signals. This becomes significant
when clocking is involved since it is undesirable for the clock
pulse to arrive before the data has settled. A short propagation
delay skew is therefore critical, especially in high data rate parallel
systems, to establish and maintain accuracy and repeatability. The
IsoLoop
®
range of isolators all have a maximum propagation delay
skew of 6 ns, which is
five times
better than any optocoupler. The
maximum channel to channel skew in the IsoLoop
®
coupler is only
3 ns which is
ten times
better than any optocoupler.
Signal Status on Start-up and Shut Down
To minimize power dissipation, the input signals are differentiated
and then latched on the output side of the isolation barrier to
reconstruct the signal. This could result in an ambiguous output
state depending on power up, shutdown and power loss
sequencing. Therefore, the designer should consider the inclusion
of an initialization signal in his start-up circuit. Initialization
consists of toggling each channel either high then low or low then
high, depending on the desired state.
Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity
This product has been tested for electrostatic sensitivity to the
limits stated in the specifications. However, NVE recommends that
all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate care to avoid
damage. Damage caused by inappropriate handling or storage
could range from performance degradation to complete failure.

and the ADC. In this application, the IL717 is the best
choice for isolation. It isolates the control bus from the
microcontroller. The system clock is located on the
isolated side of the system.

The second
∆Σ
application is where multiple ADC's are
configured in a channel-to-channel isolation configuration.
The problem for designers is how to control clock jitter
and edge placement accuracy of the system clock for each
ADC. The best solution is to use a single clock on the
system side and distribute this to each ADC. The IL261
adds a 5th channel to the IL717. This 5th channel is used
to distribute a single, isolated clock to multiple ADC's as
shown in Figure 2.
