Overview
1Overview
The ISO2H823V2.5 is a galvanically isolated 8-bit data interface in PG-VQFN70-2 package that provides 8 fully
protected high-side power switches that are able to handle currents up to 730 mA per channel.
An 8-bit parallel µController compatible interface or a serial SPI-interface allows to connect the IC directly to a
µController system. The input interface supports also a direct control mode for writing driver information and is
designed to operate with 3.3 V CMOS compatible levels.
This product is the second generation of isolated 8 channel digital output device (ISO2H823V2.5) and provides a
robust integrated diagnosis for switches with low R
DS(on)
as well as an upgraded µController interface.
Figure 1 Typical Application
The data transfer from input to output side is realized by the integrated Coreless Transformer Technology.
The IC contains 2 galvanic isolated voltage domains that are independent from each other. The input interface
(µC-chip) is supplied at V
CC
and the output stage (power chip) is supplied at V
BB
. The different voltage domains
can be switched on at different time. The output stage is only enabled once the input stage enters a stable state.
The power chip generates out of V
BB
two internal voltages V
DDIO
= 3.3 V (+ 10%) and V
CORE
= 1.5 V (+ 10%) which
have to be buffered externally.
The ISOFACE ISO2H823V2.5 includes 8 high-side power switches that are controlled by means of the integrated
parallel/serial interface. The interface is 8-bit µController compatible. Furthermore a direct control mode can be
selected that allows the direct control of the outputs OUT0 … OUT7 (power chip) by means of the inputs AD0 …
AD7 (µC-chip) without any additional logic signal. The IC can replace 8 optocouplers and the 8 high-side switches
in conventional I/O-Applications as a galvanic isolation is implemented by means of the integrated coreless
transformer technology. The µController compatible interface allows a direct connection to the ports of a
microcontroller without the need for other components. Each of the 8 high-side power switches is protected against
overload, overtemperature and against overvoltage by an active zener clamp.
