Design files

Overview

This reference design provides power and data isolation for low and ultra-low power applications. Generating isolated and non-isolated power rails with a high efficiency and containing a power efficient isolated data interface for three forward- plus one reverse-direction channels. Targeted applications are isolated loop powered 4- to 20-mA transmitters. This design can be adapted to other applications requiring highly-efficient power conversion and isolated data transmission while being powered from sources with a limited current capability.

Features
  • Power input 5 VDC, source needs to be current limited to < 30 mA
  • Ultra-low power, isolated data interface
    • 5, 16, 130 μA per channel at 10, 100, 1000 kbps
    • 3 forward-channels, 1 reverse-channel
  • Isolated 10-mA DC/DC Converter
    • Efficiency up to 86.5%
  • 3.3-V, 10-mA buck converter on non-isolated side
    • Efficiency up to 93%, VOUT ripple < 15 mVpp
  • 3.3-V, 10-mA buck converter on isolated side
    • Efficiency up to 92%, VOUT ripple < 20 mVpp
  • 3.0-V, 10-mA LDOs
    • IQ = 16 μA @ Iout = 1 mA
    • PSRR > 36 dB at ≤ 200 kHz
