Lightning-fast IL700S-Series isolators have a typical pulse-width distortion of 300 ps, which is the time it takes light to travel about three inches. At 1 Mpbs, the distortion is analogous to two 1,000-foot wires matched within three inches.

S stands for speed
The remarkable speed of the IL700S-Series Ultra-Fast Isolators all but eliminate signal distortion. Typical pulse width distortion is a jaw-dropping 300 picoseconds. Even if you don’t need 150 Mbps, S‑Series Isolators mean you don’t have to worry about propagation delay, pulse width distortion, or propagation delay skew.

Other features include:
  • Up to 150 Mbps data rate
  • 300 ps typical pulse width distortion
  • 100 ps typical jitter
  • One or two channels (including bidirectional)
  • 100°C max. temperature
  • UL1577 and IEC 61010-1 approved
  • 8-pin MSOP or SOIC packages

All S-Series part types are in stock and available for same-day shipment, with no minimum order:

PumpkinIsoLoop Isolators Stop Scary Timing

By Sandy “Speedy” Templeton
Director, Isolator Product Development and Applications

Isolating DACs and ADCs is can put a stake through the heart of noise and eliminate ground loop ghosts. But use conventional isolators, and yikes! Jitter and race conditions suck the precision from your system like a vampire in a blood bank. In an audio system, that can make your system shriek like a banshee.

IsoLoop isolators are a silver bullet for signal distortion.

For example, this circuit isolates the I²S serial interface between a CD module and a DAC:

CD Transport Circuit

Low-Jitter Isolation
 
All IsoLoop Isolators have an unmatched 100 picoseconds jitter. The ultrafast IL700S-Series Isolators have a maximum speed of 150 Mbps and typical pulse width distortion of a jaw-dropping 300 picoseconds.

So this Halloween, take the scary out of isolation timing.
