DESCRIPTION
The ISO150 is a two-channel, galvanically isolated
data coupler capable of data rates of 80MBaud, typical. Each channel can be individually programmed to
transmit data in either direction.
Data is transmitted across the isolation barrier by
coupling complementary pulses through high voltage
0.4pF capacitors. Receiver circuitry restores the pulses
to standard logic levels. Differential signal transmission rejects isolation-mode voltage transients up to
1.6kV/µs.

R/T2A
ISO150 avoids the problems commonly associated
with optocouplers. Optically isolated couplers require
high current pulses and allowance must be made for
LED aging. The ISO150’s Bi-CMOS circuitry operates at 25mW per channel.
ISO150 is available in a 24-pin DIP package and in a
28-lead SOIC. Both are specified for operation from
–40˚C to 85˚C.

Conventional isolation barrier testing applies test voltage far
in excess of the rated voltage to catastrophically break down
a marginal device. A device that passes the test may be
weakened, and lead to premature failure.
ISOLATION BARRIER
Data is transmitted by coupling complementary logic pulses
to the receiver through two 0.4pF capacitors. These capacitors are built into the ISO150 package with Faraday shielding to guard against false triggering by external electrostatic
fields.
The integrity of the isolation barrier of the ISO150 is
verified by partial discharge testing. 2400Vrms, 60Hz, is
applied across the barrier for one second while measuring
any tiny discharge currents that may flow through the
barrier. These current pulses are produced by localized
ionization within the barrier. This is the most sensitive and
reliable indicator of barrier integrity and longevity, and does
not damage the barrier. A device fails the test if five or more
current pulses of 5pC or greater are detected.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the ISO150 connected for basic operation.
Channel 1 is configured to transmit data from side B to A.
Channel 2 is set for transmission from side A to B. The R/T pins
for each of the four transceivers are shown connected to the
required logic level for the transmission direction shown. The
transmission direction can be controlled by logic signals
applied to the R/T pins. Channel 1 and 2 can be independently
controlled for the desired transmission direction.

Channel 1
Data In
LOGIC LEVELS
A single pin serves as a data input or output, depending on
the mode selected. Logic inputs are CMOS with thresholds
set for TTL compatibility. The logic threshold is approximately 1.3V with 5V supplies and with approximately 400mV
of hysteresis. Input logic thresholds vary with the power
supply voltage. Drive the logic inputs with signals that swing
the full logic voltage swing. The ISO150 will use somewhat
greater quiescent current if logic inputs do not swing within
0.5V of the power supply rails.
In receive mode, the data output can drive 15 standard
LS-TTL loads. It will also drive CMOS loads. The output
drive circuits are CMOS.
PROPAGATION DELAY AND SKEW
Logic transitions are delayed approximately 27ns through
the ISO150. Some applications are sensitive to data skew—
the difference in propagation delay between channel 1 and
channel 2. Skew is less than 2ns between channel 1 and
channel 2. Applications using more than one ISO150 must
allow for somewhat greater skew from device to device.
Since all devices are tested for delay times of 20ns min to
40ns max, 20ns is the largest device-to-device data skew.
MODE CHANGES
The transmission direction of a channel can be changed “on
the fly” by reversing the logic levels at the channel’s R/T
pins on both side A and side B. Approximately 75ns after the
transceiver is programmed to receive mode its output is
initialized “high”, and will respond to subsequent input-side
changes in data.
POWER SUPPLY
Separate, isolated power supplies must be connected to side
A and side B to provide galvanic isolation. Nominal rated
supply voltage is 5V. Operation extends from 3V to 5.5V.
Power supplies should be bypassed close to the device pins
on both sides of the isolation barrier.
The VS pin for each side powers the transceivers for both
channel 1 and 2. The specified supply current is the total of
both transceivers on one side, both operating in the indicated
mode. Supply current for one transceiver in transmit mode
and one in receive mode can be estimated by averaging the
specifications for transmit and receive operation. Supply
current varies with the data transmission rate—see typical
curves.
STANDBY MODE
Quiescent current of each transceiver circuit is very low in
transmit mode when input data is not changing (1nA typical). To conserve power when data transmission is not
required, program both side A and B transceivers for transmit mode. Input data applied to either transceiver is ignored
by the other side. High speed data applied to either transceiver will increase quiescent current.
CIRCUIT LAYOUT
The high speed of the ISO150 and its isolation barrier
require careful circuit layout. Use good high speed logic
layout techniques for the input and output data lines. Power
supplies should be bypassed close to the device pins on both
sides of the isolation barrier. Use low inductance connections. Ground planes are recommended.
POWER-UP STATE
The ISO150 transmits information across the barrier only
when the input-side data changes logic state. When a transceiver is first programmed for receive mode, or is poweredup in receive mode, its output is initialized “high”. Subsequent changes of data applied to the input side will cause the
output to properly reflect the input side data.
Maintain spacing between side 1 and side 2 circuitry equal
or greater than the spacing between the missing pins of the
ISO150 (approximately 16mm for the DIP version). Sockets
are not recommended.
SIGNAL LOSS
The ISO150’s differential-mode signal transmission and
careful receiver design make it highly immune to voltage
across the isolation barrier (isolation-mode voltage). Rapidly
changing isolation-mode voltage can cause data errors. As
the rate of change of isolation voltage is increased, there is
a very sudden increase in data errors. Approximately 50% of
ISO150s will begin to produce data errors with isolationmode transients of 1.6kV/µs. This may occur as low as
500V/µs in some devices. In comparison, a 1000Vrms, 60Hz
isolation-mode voltage has a rate of change of approximately
0.5V/µs.
Still, some applications with large, noisy isolation-mode
voltage can produce data errors by causing the receiver
output to change states. After a data error, subsequent changes
in input data will produce correct output data.
