ISO721-Q1,pdf(3.3-V / 5-V High

The ISO721 is a digital isolator with a logic input and output buffer separated by a silicon oxide (SiO₂) insulation barrier. This barrier provides galvanic isolation of up to 4000 V. Used in conjunction with isolated power supplies, this device prevents noise currents on a data bus or other circuits from entering the local ground, and interfering with or damaging sensitive circuitry.

A binary input signal is conditioned, translated to a balanced signal, then differentiated by the capacitive isolation barrier. Across the isolation barrier, a differential comparator receives the logic transition information, then sets or resets a flip-flop and the output circuit accordingly. A periodic update pulse is sent across the barrier to ensure the proper dc level of the output.
