NVE Introduces New Isolator Family
IL500-Series Isolators are cost-effective optocoupler replacements
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.January 7, 2009NVE Corporation (Nasdaq: NVEC)
today announced the introduction of the IsoLoop® IL500-Series of digital isolators,
designed to be cost-effective optocoupler replacements.
Compared to NVE’s industry-standard IL700-Series isolators, which have speeds
up to 150 megabits per second, IL500-Series isolators operate at two megabits
per second, offer a DC-correct design, and have an external synchronization option
on certain models.
A patented, controllable refresh clock ensures that outputs will be synchronized
to inputs within nine microseconds. Alternatively, on certain models the user
can supply an external synchronization clock. Unique technology provides 25 nanoseconds
worst-case propagation delay and 10 nanosecond pulse width distortion.
One-, two-, three-, and four-channel models are available for unmatched channel
density. One- and two-channel models are available in either SOIC packages or
unique 8-pin MSOPs. NVE’s MSOP isolators are billed as the world’s smallest of
their type. Three- and four-channel models are available in 0.15 inch wide or
0.3 inch wide 16-pin SOIC packages. All NVE products are available in RoHS-compliant
lead-free versions.
Extremely rugged, IL500-Series isolators operate over a supply voltage range of
3 to 5.5 volts and temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius. Typical transient
immunity is 30 kilovolts per microsecond. The parts are UL 1577 approved; IEC
61010-2001 approval is pending.
Available now, IL500-Series Isolator prices are as low as $0.53 per channel in
1,000-piece quantities. Datasheets and more information are available at www.IsoLoop.com
or www.nve.com.
NVE is a leader in the practical commercialization of spintronics, a nanotechnology
that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store and
transmit information. The company manufactures high-performance spintronic products
including sensors and couplers that are used to acquire and transmit data. NVE
has also licensed its spintronic magnetoresistive random access memory technology,
commonly known as MRAM.
Statements used in this announcement that relate to future plans, events, or
performance are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties including, among others the risk factors listed from time to time
in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other
reports filed with the SEC.
