The ceramic side-brazed hybrid package contains a transformercoupled DC/DC converter and a capacitor-coupled signal channel. Extra power is available on the isolated input side for external input conditioning circuitry. The converter is protected from shorts to ground with an internal current limit, and the soft-start feature limits the initial currents from the power source. Multiple-channel synchronization can be accomplished by applying a TTL clock signal to paralleled Sync pins. The Enable control is used to turn off transformer drive while keeping the signal channel demodulator active. This feature provides a convenient way to reduce quiescent current for low power applications. The wide barrier pin spacing and internal insulation allow for the generous 5Vrms continuous rating. Reliability is assured by 1% barrier breakdown testing that conforms to UL544 test methods. Low barrier capacitance minimizes AC leakage currents. These specifications and built-in features make the ISO17 easy to use, as well as providing for compact PC board layouts.

THEORY OF OPERATION The block diagram on the front page shows the isolation amplifier s synchronized signal and power configuration, which eliminates beat frequency interference. A proprietary 8kHz oscillator chip, power MOSFET transformer drivers, patented square core wirebonded transformer, and single chip diode bridge provide power to the input side of the isolation amplifier as well as external loads. The signal channel capacitively couples a duty-cycle encoded signal across the ceramic high-voltage barrier built into the package. A proprietary transmitter-receiver pair of integrated circuits, laser trimmed at wafer level, and coupled through a pair of matched fringe capacitors, result in a simple, reliable design. OPTIONAL GAIN AND OFFSET ADJUSTMENTS Rated gain accuracy and offset performance can be achieved with no external adjustments, but the circuit of Figure a may be used to provide a gain trim of ±.5% for the values shown; greater range may be provided by increasing the size of R1 and R1. Every kω increase in R1 will give an additional 1% adjustment range, with R R1. If safety or convenience dictates location of the adjustment potentiometer on the other side of the barrier from the position shown in Figure a, the position of R1 and R may be reserved. Gains greater than 1 may be obtained by using the circuit of Figure b. Note that the effect of input offset errors will be multiplied at the output in proportion to the increase in gain. Also, the small-signal bandwidth will be decreased in in- SIGNAL AND POWER CONNECTIONS Figure 1 shows the proper power supply and signal connections. All power supply pins should be bypassed as shown with the π filter for V CC an option recommended if more than ±ma are drawn from the isolated supply. The separate input and output common pins and output sense are low current inputs tied to the signal source ground, output ground, and output load, respectively, to minimize errors due to IR drop in long conductors. Otherwise, connect Com 1 to Gnd 1, Com to Gnd, and to at the ISO17 socket. The enable pin may be left open if the ISO17 is continuously operated. If not, a TTL low level will disable the internal DC/DC converter. The Sync input must be grounded for unsynchronized operation while a 1.MHz to MHz TTL clock signal provides synchronization of multiple units. FIGURE a.

verse proportion to the increase in gain. In most instances, a precision gain block at the input of the isolation amplifier will provide better overall performance. Figure shows a method for trimming V OS of the ISO17. This circuit may be applied to either Signal Com (input or output) as desired for safety or convenience. With the values shown, ±V supplies and unity gain, the circuit will provide ±mv adjustment range and.5mv resolution with a typical trim potentiometer. The output will have some sensitivity to power supply variations. For a ±1mV trim, power supply sensitivity is 8mV/V at the output. V CC1 or VCC 1kΩ V CC1 or VCC FIGURE.

The small signal bandwidth is extended above khz as a result of this compensation. ISOLATION BARRIER VOLTAGE The typical performance of the ISO17 under conditions of barrier voltage stress is indicated in the first two performance curves Recommended Range of Isolation Voltage and IMR/Leakage vs Frequency. At low barrier modulation levels, errors can be determined by the IMRR characteristic. At higher barrier voltages, typical performance is obtained as long as the dv/dt across the barrier is below the shaded area in the first curve. Otherwise, the signal channel will be interrupted, causing the output to distort, and/or shift DC level. This condition is temporary, with normal operation resuming as soon as the transient subsides. Permanent damage to the integrated circuits occurs only if transients exceed kv/µs. Even in this extreme case, the barrier integrity is assured. HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING The ISO17 was designed to reliably operate with 5Vrms continuous isolation barrier voltage. To confirm barrier integrity, a two-step breakdown test is performed on 1% of the units. First, an 8V peak, 6Hz barrier potential is applied for 1s to verify that the dielectric strength of the insulation is above this level. Following this exposure, a 5Vrms, 6Hz potential is applied for one minute to conform to UL544. Life-test results show reliable operation under continuous rated voltage and maximum operating temperature conditions. 4Ω 1 9 4.7nF FIGURE 4. Ripple Reduction. MULTICHANNEL SYNCHRONIZATION Synchronization of multiple ISO17s can be accomplished by connecting pin 19 of each device to an external TTL level oscillator, as shown in Figure 6. The PWS75-1 oscillator is convenient because its nominal synchronizing output frequency is 1.6MHz, resulting in a 8kHz carrier in the ISO17 (its nominal unsynchronized value). The open collector output typically switches 7.5mA to a.v low level so that the external pull-up resistor can be chosen for different pull-up voltages as shown in Figure 6. The number of channels synchronized by one PWS75-1 is determined by the total capacitance of the sync voltage conductors. They must be less than 1pF to ensure TTL level switching at 8kHz. At higher frequencies the capacitance must be proportionally lower. Customers can supply their own TTL level synchronization logic, provided the frequency is between 1.MHz and MHz, and the duty cycle is greater than 5%. 7 ISO17
