DESCRIPTION
8
ISO213 signal isolation amplifier is a member of a
series of low-cost isolation products from Burr-Brown.
The low-profile ZIP plastic package allows PCB spacings of 0.5" to be achieved, and the small footprint
results in efficient use of board space.
To provide isolation, the design uses high-efficiency,
miniature toroidal transformers in both the signal and
power paths. An uncommitted instrumentation amplifier on the input and an isolated external bipolar supply
ensure the majority of input interfacing or conditioning
needs can be met.

DISCUSSION
OF SPECIFICATIONS
The ripple on ±VSS will typically be 100mVp-p at 25kHz.
Loading the supplies will increase the ripple unless extra
filtering is added externally; a capacitor of 1µF is normally
sufficient for most applications, although in some cases
10µF may be required. Noise introduced onto ±VSS should
be decoupled to prevent degraded performance.
ISO213 is intended for applications where isolation and
input signal conditioning are required. The best signal-tonoise performance is obtained when the input amplifier gain
setting is such that FB pin has a full scale range of ±10V. The
bandwidth is internally limited to typically 1kHz, making
the device ideal for use in conjunction with sensors that
monitor slowly varying processes. To power external functions or networks, 3mA at ±14V typical is available at the
isolated port.
THEORY OF OPERATION
ISO213 has no galvanic connection between the input and
output. The analog input signal is multiplied by the gain of
the input amplifier and accurately reproduced at the output.
A simplified diagram of ISO213 is shown in Figure 2. The
design consists of a DC/DC converter, an uncommitted
input instrumentation amplifier, a modulator circuit and a
demodulator circuit with a gain of 0.5. Magnetic isolation is
provided by separate transformers in the power and signal
paths.
LINEARITY PERFORMANCE
ISO213 offers non-linearity performance compatible with
12-bit resolution systems (0.025%). Note that the specification is based on a best-fit straight line.
INPUT PROTECTION
The inputs of ISO213 are individually protected for voltages
up to ±40V. For example, a condition of –40V on one input
and +40V on the other input will not cause damage. Internal
circuitry on each input provides low series impedance under
normal signal conditions. To provide equivalent protection,
series input resistors would contribute excessive noise. If the
input is overloaded, the protection circuitry limits the input
current to a safe value of approximately 1.5mA to 5mA. The
typical performance curve “Input Bias Current vs Input
Overload Voltage” shows this input current limit behavior.
The inputs are protected even if the power supplies are
disconnected or turned off.
The DC/DC converter provides power and synchronization
signals across the isolation barrier to operate the instrumentation amplifier and modulator circuitry. It also has sufficient capacity to power external input signal conditioning
networks. The uncommitted instrumentation amplifier may
be configured for signal buffering or amplification, depending on the application.
The modulator converts the input signal to an amplitudemodulated AC signal that is magnetically coupled to the
demodulator by a miniature transformer providing the
signal-path isolation. The demodulator recovers the input
signal from the modulated signal using a synchronous technique to minimize noise and interference.

ABOUT THE BARRIER
For any isolation product, barrier integrity is of paramount
importance in achieving high reliability. ISO213 uses miniature toroidal transformers designed to give maximum
isolation performance when encapsulated with a high dielectric-strength material. The internal component layout is
designed so that circuitry associated with each side of the
barrier is positioned at opposite ends of the package. Areas
where high electric fields can exist are positioned in the
center of the package. The result is that the dielectric
strength of the barrier typically exceeds 3kVrms.
ISOLATION VOLTAGE RATINGS
Because a long term test is impractical in a manufacturing
situation, the generally accepted practice is to perform a
production test at a high voltage for some shorter time. The
relationship between actual test voltage and the continuous
derated maximum specification is an important one. Historically, Burr-Brown has chosen a deliberately conservative
one: VTEST = (2 x ACrms continuous rating) + 1000V for ten
seconds, followed by a test at rated ACrms voltage for one
minute.
zation requires a higher applied voltage to start the discharge
and a lower voltage to extinguish it once started. The higher
start voltage is known as the inception voltage and the lower
voltage is called the extinction voltage. Just as the total
insulation system has an inception voltage, so do the individual voids. A voltage will build up across a void until its
inception voltage is reached. At this point, the void will
ionize, effectively shorting itself out. This action redistributes electrical charge within the dielectric and is known as
partial discharge. If the applied voltage gradient across the
device continues to rise, another partial discharge cycle
begins. The importance of this phenomenon is that if the
discharge does not occur, the insulation system retains its
integrity. If the discharge begins and is allowed to continue,
the action of the ions and electrons within the defect will
eventually degrade any organic insulation system in which
they occur. The measurement of partial discharge is both
useful in rating the devices and in providing quality control
of the manufacturing process. The inception voltage of these
voids tend to be constant, so that the measurement of total
charge being redistributed within the dielectric is a very
good indicator of the size of the voids and their likelihood of
becoming an incipient failure.
Recent improvements in high voltage stress testing have
produced a more meaningful test for determining maximum
permissible voltage ratings, and Burr-Brown has chosen to
apply this new technology to the manufacture and testing of
ISO213.
The bulk inception voltage, on the other hand, varies with
the insulation system and the number of ionization defects.
This directly establishes the absolute maximum voltage
(transient) that can be applied across the test device before
destructive partial discharge can begin.
PARTIAL DISCHARGE
When an insulation defect such as a void occurs within an
insulation system, the defect will display localized corona or
ionization during exposure to high voltage stress. This ioni-
Measuring the bulk extinction voltage provides a lower,
more conservative, voltage from which to derive a safe
continuous rating. In production, it’s acceptable to measure
at a level somewhat below the expected inception voltage
and then de-rate by a factor related to expectations about the

PARTIAL DISCHARGE TESTING IN PRODUCTION
This test method provides far more qualitative information
about stress withstand levels than did previous stress tests. It
also provides quantitative measurements from which quality
assurance and control measures can be based. Tests similar
to this test have been used by some manufacturers such as
those of high voltage power distribution equipment for some
time. They employed a simple measurement of RF noise to
detect ionization. This method was not quantitative with
regard to energy of the discharge and was not sensitive
enough for small components such as isolation amplifiers.
Now, however, manufacturers of HV test equipment have
developed means to measure partial discharge, and VDE, the
German standards group, has adopted use of this method for
the testing of opto-couplers. To accommodate poorly defined transients, the part under test is exposed to a voltage
that is 1.6 times the continuous rated voltage and must
display <5pC partial discharge level in a 100% production
test. Where transients are not present on an applied voltage
and the bulk inception voltage is not exceeded, degradation
will not take place. This is the case where OEM production
testing is performed to satisfy regulatory requirements. The
normal test is to apply a relatively slow ramp to a defined
test voltage. Maintain that voltage for 1 minute and then
ramp to zero. Where this test voltage is less than or equal to
the partial discharge test voltage it can be seen that degradation will not occur. Hence ISO213 is guaranteed to withstand a continuous test voltage for 1 minute at the partial
discharge test voltage.

the barrier will increase AC leakage and, in conjunction with
ground line resistance, may degrade high frequency IMR.
VOLTAGE GAIN MODIFICATIONS
The uncommitted instrumentation amplifier at the input can
be used to provide gain, signal inversion, or current to
voltage conversion. The standard design approach for any
instrumentation amplifier stage can be used, provided that
the full scale voltage appearing on FB does not exceed ±10V.
Also, it should be noted that the current required to drive the
equivalent impedance of any feedback network is supplied
by the internal DC/DC converter and must be taken into
account when calculating the loading added to ±VSS.
INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SUPPLY AND SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
As with any mixed analog and digital signal component,
correct decoupling and signal routing precautions must be
used to optimize performance. Figure 1 shows the proper
power supply and signal connections. VCC should be bypassed to Com 2 with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor and 100µH
inductor as close to the device as possible. Short leads will
minimize lead inductance. A ground plane will also reduce
noise problems. If a low impedance ground plane is not
used, signal common lines, and ACom 2 should be tied
directly to the ground at the supply and Com 2 returned via
a separate trace to the supply ground.
ISOLATED POWER OUTPUT DRIVE CAPABILITY
On the input side of ISO213, there are two power supplies
capable of delivering 3mA at ±14V typical to power external
circuitry. When using these supplies with external loads, it
is recommended that additional decoupling in the form of
10µF tantalum bead capacitors, is added to improve the
voltage regulation. Loss of linearity will result if additional
filtering is not used with an output load. Again, power
dissipated in a feedback network must be subtracted from
the available power output at ±VSS.
If ISO213 is to be used in multiple applications, care should
be taken in the design of the power distribution network,
especially when all ISO213s are synchronized. It is best to
use a well decoupled distribution point and to take power
to each ISO213 from this point in a star arrangement as shown
in Figure 4.
To avoid gain and isolation mode (IMR) errors introduced
by the external circuit, connect grounds as indicated in
Figure 3. Layout practices associated with isolation amplifiers are very important. In particular, the capacitance associated with the barrier, and series resistance in the signal and

NOISE
Output noise is generated by residual components of the
25kHz carrier that have not been removed from the signal.
This noise may be reduced by adding an output low-pass
filter (see Figure 9). The filter time constant should be set
below the carrier frequency. The output from ISO213 is a
switched capacitor and requires a high impedance load to
prevent degradation of linearity. Loads of less than 1MΩ
will cause an increase in noise at the carrier frequency and
will appear as ripple in the output waveform. Since the
output signal power is generated from the input side of the
barrier, decoupling of the ±VSS outputs will improve the
signal to noise ratio.

ISO213 has an internal oscillator and associated timing

Because the oscillator frequency of each ISO213 can be
marginally different, “beat” frequencies ranging from a few
Hz to a few kHz can exist in multiple amplifier applications.
The design of ISO213 accommodates “internal synchronous” noise, but a synchronous beat frequency noise will not
be strongly attenuated, especially at very low frequencies if
it is introduced via the power, signal, or potential grounding
paths. To overcome this problem in systems where several
ISO213s are used, the design allows synchronization of each
oscillator in a system to one frequency. Do this by forcing
the timing node on the internal oscillator with an external
driver connected to Clk In (Figure 5). The driver may be an
external component with Series 4000 CMOS characteristics,
or one ISO213 in the system can be used as the master clock
for the system. An alternative where a specific frequency is
not required is to lock all ISO213s together by joining all
Clk Ins. This method can be used to lock an unlimited

CHARGE ISOLATION
When more than one ISO213 is used in synchronous mode,
the charge which is returned from the timing capacitor
(220pF in Figure 5) on each transition of the clock becomes
significant. Figure 7 illustrates a method of isolating the
“Clk Out” clamp diodes (Figure 5) from this charge.
two isolated power supplies capable of supplying 3mA at
±14V typical are available to power external circuitry.
APPLICATIONS FLEXIBILITY
In Figure 9, ISO213 +Vss isolated supply powers a REF200
to provide an accurate 200µA current source. This current is
used via the 1.5kΩ resistor to set the output to
–5V at 4mA input.
A 22kΩ resistor (recommended maximum) together with the
39kΩ internal oscillator timing resistor (Figure 5) forms a
potential divider. The ratio of these resistors should be
greater than 0.6 which ensures that the input voltage triggers
the inverter connected to “Clk In”. If using a single resistor,
then account must be taken of the paralleled timing resistors.
This means that the 22kΩ resistor must be halved to drive
two ISO213s, or divided by 8 if driving 8 ISO213s to insure
that the ratio of greater than 0.6 is maintained. The series
resistors shown in Figure 7 reduce the high frequency
content of the power supply current. Figure 8 can be used
where a specific frequency of operation is not required.
The primary function of the output circuitry is to add gain,
to produce a ±10V output and to reduce output impedance.
The addition of a few resistors and capacitors provides a low
pass filter with a cutoff frequency equal to the full signal
bandwidth of ISO213, typically 200Hz. The filter response
is flat to 1dB and rolls off from cut off at –12dB per octave.
The accuracy of REF200 and external resistors eliminates
the need for expensive trim pots and adjustments. The errors
introduced by the external circuitry only add about 10% of
ISO213 specified gain and offset voltage error.
ISO213 operates from a single +15V supply and offers low
power consumption and 12-bit accuracy. On the input side,

ISO213 isolation amplifier, together with a few low cost
components, can isolate and accurately convert a 4-to-20mA
input to a ±10V output with no external adjustment. Its low
height (0.43" (11mm) ) and small footprint (2.5" x 0.33"
(57mm x 8mm) ) make it the solution of choice in 0.5" board
spacing systems and in all applications where board area
savings are critical.
