Range of two-channel digital isolators expanded

Würth Elektronik is expanding its portfolio of digital isolators with a two-channel version in SOIC 8WB package (5.85mm x 11.5mm x 2.8mm). The new design provides an isolation voltage of 5kVRMS. This is particularly important for electronic devices operating in environments exposed to high voltages and EMC interference, which require two-channel digital isolators with high isolation voltage. The isolators are ideal for high-speed applications up to a data rate of 150Mbps and are characterised by their high CMTI to system noise of ±150kV/µs.

SMT-mountable digital isolators are employed for galvanic isolation in transmitting digital signals. This provides 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 utilised, for example, in test and measurement systems, battery management systems, solar inverters, industrial switching power supplies and motor controllers and 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), the company also provides capacitive digital isolators with integrated DC-DC converter.

Free samples of all the digital isolators can be ordered from the company.
