2 x 8 Channel 0,6A Evaluation Board with ISO1H812G
Introduction
Application
This Application Note describes a Demoboard with an isolated 2 x 8 Channel 0.6A Digital Output. The
®
board is designed to show the performance of the ISOFACE Part ISO1H812G providing an Isolated
Interface output to drive resistive, capacitive or inductive loads directly. The input can be driven by
applying 3,3V/5V CMOS compatible signals to connector K3. The input operates in Micro Controller
Mode by using Chip Select and SCLK Signals. The Output consists of 2 times 8 Channel High Side
Switches with 0.6A Current rating. The Output is protected with a channel selected over-temperature
switch (to off).
Typical Application
ISO1H812G
The ISO1H812G is a galvanic isolated 8-bit data interface in P-DSO-36 package that provides 8 fully
protected high-side power switches that are able to handle currents up to 625 mA.
An SPI microcontroller (µC) compatible interface allows connecting the IC directly to a µC system. The
input interface is designed to operate with 3,3V/5V CMOS compatible levels. The data transfer from
input to output side is realized by the integrated Coreless Transformer Technology.
This device includes 8 high-side power switches that are controlled by means of the integrated serial
®
interface. The interface is 8-bit µC compatible. The ISOFACE can replace optocouplers and the 8
high-side switches in conventional I/O-Applications as galvanic isolation is implemented by means of
the integrated coreless transformer technology. The µC compatible interface allows a direct
connection to the ports of a microcontroller without the need for other components. Each of the 8 highside power switches is protected against short to Vbb, overload, over-temperature and against overvoltage by an active zener clamp.

Functional Description
Power Supply
The Demo Board contains 2 galvanic isolated voltage domains that are independent from each other.
The input interface is supplied by Pin1 and Pin14 of K3.
Jumper K4 selects direct supply from K3 Pin1 either with 3,3V/5V VCC (Jumper 1-2) or using the onboard 5V voltage regulator (Jumper 2-3). The output stage is supplied at pin1 and 10 of K2, and K2
with Vbb voltage. The different voltage domains can be switched on at different times. The output
stage is only enabled once the input stage enters a stable state.
Serial Interface
The ISO1H812G contains a serial interface that can be directly controlled by the microcontroller output
ports.
SPI Signal Description
CS - Chip select. The system microcontroller selects the ISO1H812G by means of the CS pin.
Whenever the pin is in a logic low state, data can be transferred from the µC.
CS High-to-low transition:
• Serial input data can be clocked in from then on
• SO changes from high impedance state to logic high or low state corresponding to the SO bit-state
CS Low-to-high transition:
• Transfer of SI bits from shift register into output buffers, if number of clock signals was an integer
multiple of 8
• SO changes from the SO bit-state to high impedance state
To avoid any false clocking, the serial input pin SCLK should be logic high state during high-to-low
transition of CS. When CS is in a logic high state, any signals at the SCLK and SI pins are ignored and
SO is forced into a high impedance state. The integrated modulo counter that counts the number of
clocks avoids the take over of invalid commands caused by a spike on the clock line or wrong number
of clock cycles. A command is only taken over after the low-to-high transition of the CS signal, if the
number of counted clock cycles is an integer multiple of 8.
SCLK - Serial clock. The system clock pin clocks the internal shift register of the ISO1H812G. The
serial input (SI) accepts data into the input shift register on the rising edge of SCLK while the serial
output (SO) shifts the output information out of the shift register on the falling edge of the serial clock.
It is essential that the SCLK pin is in a logic high state whenever chip select /CS makes any transition.
The number of clock pulses will be counted during a chip select cycle. The received data will only be
accepted, if exactly an integer multiple of 8 clock pulses were counted during CS is active.
SI - Serial input. Serial data bits are shifted in at this pin, the most significant bit first. SI information is
read in on the rising edge of the SCLK. Input data is latched in the shift register and then transferred to
the control buffer of the output stages.
SO - Serial output. SO is in a high impedance state until the CS pin goes to a logic low state. The data
of the internal shift register are shifted out serially at this pin. The most significant bit will appear at
first. The further bits will appear following the falling edge of SCLK.

Daisy-chain Configuration
the connection of different ICs and a µC as shown below is called a daisy-chain. For this type of bustopology only one SPI interface of the µC for two or more ICs is needed. All ICs share the same clock
and chip select port of the SPI master. That is all ICs are active and addressed simultaneously. The
data out of the µC is connected to the SI of the first IC in the line. Each SO of an IC is connected to
the SI of the next IC in the line.

Output Stage
Each channel contains a high-side vertical power FET that is protected by embedded protection
functions. The continuous current for each channel is 625mA (all channels ON).
Each output is independently controlled by an output latch and a common reset line via the pin /DIS
that disables all eight outputs and reset the latches. A logic high input data bit turns the respective
output channel ON. A logic low data bit turns that output channel OFF.
Power Transistor Over-Voltage Protection
Each of the eight output stages has it own zener clamp that causes a voltage limitation at the power
transistor when inductive loads are switched off. VON is then clamped to 47V (min.).
Inductive and over-voltage output clamp (each channel)
Energy is stored in the load inductance.
EL= 1 / 2 x L x IL²
Inductive load switch-off energy dissipation (each channel)
While demagnetizing the load inductance, the energy dissipation in the DMOS with an approximate
solution for RL > 0 is:
Power Transistor Over-current Protection
The outputs are provided with a current limitation that enters a repetitive switched mode after an initial
peak current has been exceeded. The initial peak short circuit current limit IL(SCp) is set to a minimum of
0.7A at Tj = 125°C. During the repetitive mode, short circuit current limit IL(SCr) is set to 1.1A (typ.). If
this operation leads to an over-temperature condition, a second protection level (Tj > 135°C) will
change the output into a low Pulse-Width Modulated duty cycle (selective thermal shutdown with
restart) to prevent critical chip temperatures.
Common Diagnostic Output
The over-temperature detection information of the channels is OR-wired in the common diagnostic
output block. The information is send via the integrated coreless transformer to the input interface. The
output stage at pin DIAG has an open drain functionality combined with a current source. The red LED
D20 and D21 show the current state of the DIAG output.
LED ON: one of the Channels has over-temperature or the VBB Supply is below the operating
range
