Würth Elektronik is expanding its portfolio of digital isolators with a two-channel version in SOIC 8WB package (5.85 x 11.5 x 2.8 mm). The new design boasts an isolation voltage of 5 kVRMS. This is particularly important for electronic devices operating in environments exposed to high voltages and EMC interference which need 2-channel digital isolators with high isolation voltage. The isolators are ideally suited for high-speed applications up to a data rate of 150 Mbps and are characterized by their high common mode transient immunity (CMTI) to system noise of ±150 kV/µs.
SMT-mountable digital isolators are used for galvanic isolation in transmitting digital signals. This ensures reliable data transmission without distortion or errors to protect people or sensitive circuits from high voltage. The WPME-CDIS (Capacitive Digital Isolator Standard) series of isolators with UL 1577 approval can be used, for example, in test and measurement systems, battery management systems, solar inverters, industrial switching power supplies and motor controllers as well as for isolating communication buses. Alongside the new components, there are already various two-channel and four-channel configurations with high or low default output. With its designation WPME-CDIP (Capacitive Digital Isolator Powered), Würth Elektronik also offers capacitive digital isolators with integrated DC/DC converter.
Free samples of all the digital isolators can be ordered from Würth Elektronik.
