Description
NVE's family of high-speed digital isolators are CMOS devices created
by integrating active circuitry and our GMR-based and patented*
IsoLoop®technology. The IL715, IL716 and IL717 are four channel
versions of the world's fastest digital isolator with a 110 Mbaud data
rate. These devices provide the designer with the most compact isolated
logic devices yet available. All transmit and receive channels operate at
110 Mbd over the full temperature and supply voltage range. The
symmetric magnetic coupling barrier provides a typical propagation
delay of only 10 ns and a pulse width distortion of 2 ns achieving the
best specifications of any isolator device. Typical transient immunity of
30 kV/µs is unsurpassed. The IL715 has four transmit channels; the
IL716 has two transmit channels and two receive channels; the IL717
has three transmit channels and one receive channel. The IL715, IL716
and IL717 high channel density make them ideally suited to isolating
ADCs and DACs, parallel buses and peripheral interfaces.
The IL715, IL716 and IL717 are available in 0.3" and 0.15" 16-pin
SOIC packages and performance is specified over the temperature range
of -40°C to +100°C without any derating.

Notes:
1. Absolute Maximum ambient operating temperature means the
device will not be damaged if operated under these conditions. It
does not guarantee performance.
2. PWD is defined as | tPHL– tPLH |. %PWD is equal to the PWD
divided by the pulse width.
3. tPSK is equal to the magnitude of the worst case difference in tPHL
and/or tPLH that will be seen between units at 25OC.
4. CMHis the maximum common mode voltage slew rate that can be
sustained while maintaining VO> 0.8 VDD. CMLis the maximum
common mode input voltage that can be sustained while
maintaining VO< 0.8 V. The common mode voltage slew rates
apply to both rising and falling common mode voltage edges.
5. Device is considered a two terminal device:
pins 1-8 shorted and pins 9-16 shorted.

Dynamic Power Consumption
Isoloop£devices achieve their low power consumption from the
manner by which they transmit data across the isolation barrier. By
detecting the edge transitions of the input logic signal and
converting these to narrow current pulses, a magnetic field is
created around the GMR Wheatstone bridge. Depending on the
direction of the magnetic field, the bridge causes the output
comparator to switch following the input logic signal. Since the
current pulses are narrow, about 2.5ns wide, the power
consumption is independent of mark-to-space ratio and solely
dependent on frequency. This has obvious advantages over
optocouplers whose power consumption is heavily dependent on
its on-state and frequency.
The approximate power supply current per channel for
Power Supply Decoupling
Both power supplies to these devices should be decoupled with
low ESR 47 nF ceramic capacitors. For data rates in excess of
10MBd, use of ground planes for both GND1 and GND2 is highly
recommended. Capacitors should be located as close as possible to
the device.
Signal Status on Start-up and Shut Down
To minimize power dissipation, the input signals are differentiated
and then latched on the output side of the isolation barrier to
reconstruct the signal. This could result in an ambiguous output
state depending on power up, shutdown and power loss
sequencing. Therefore, the designer should consider the inclusion
of an initialization signal in his start-up circuit. Initialization
consists of toggling each channel either high then low or low then
high, depending on the desired state.
Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity
This product has been tested for electrostatic sensitivity to the
limits stated in the specifications. However, NVE recommends that
all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate care to avoid
damage. Damage caused by inappropriate handling or storage
could range from performance degradation to complete failure.
Data Transmission Rates
The reliability of a transmission system is directly related to the
accuracy and quality of the transmitted digital information. For a
digital system, those parameters which determine the limits of the
data transmission are pulse width distortion and propagation delay
skew.
Propagation delay is the time taken for the signal to travel through
the device. This is usually different when sending a low-to-high
than when sending a high-to-low signal. This difference, or error,
is called pulse width distortion (PWD) and is usually in ns. It may
also be expressed as a percentage:
This figure is almost three times better than for any available
optocoupler with the same temperature range, and two times better
than any optocoupler regardless of published temperature range.
The IsoLoop®range of isolators surpasses the 10% maximum
PWD recommended by PROFIBUS, and will run at almost 35 Mb
before reaching the 10% limit.
Propagation delay skew is the difference in time taken for two or
more channels to propagate their signals. This becomes significant
when clocking is involved since it is undesirable for the clock
pulse to arrive before the data has settled. A short propagation
delay skew is therefore critical, especially in high data rate parallel
systems, to establish and maintain accuracy and repeatability. The
IsoLoop®range of isolators all have a maximum propagation delay
skew of 6 ns, which is five times better than any optocoupler. The
maximum channel to channel skew in the IsoLoop®coupler is only
3 ns which is ten times better than any optocoupler.
Application Notes:
PWD% = Maximum Pulse Width Distortion (ns) x 100%
Signal Pulse Width (ns)
For example: For data rates of 12.5 Mb
PWD% = 3 ns x 100% = 3.75%
80 ns

About NVE
NVE Corporation is a world leader in the practical commercialization of "spintronics," which many experts
believe represents the next generation of microelectronics — the successor to the transistor. Unlike
conventional electronics, which rely on electron charge, spintronics uses electron spin to store and transmit
information. Spintronics devices are smaller, faster, and more accurate, compared to charge-based
microelectronics.
It is the spin of electrons that causes magnetism. NVE's products use proprietary spintronic materials called
Giant Magnetoresistors (GMR). These materials are made of exotic alloys a few atoms thick, and provide
very large signals (the "Giant" in "Giant Magnetoresistor"). NVE has the unique capability to combine
leading edge GMR materials with integrated circuits to make high performance electronic components.
We are pioneers in creating practical products using this revolutionary technology and introduced the world's
first GMR products in 1994. We also license spintronics/Magnetic Random Access Memory (MRAM)
designs to world-class memory manufacturers.
Our products include:
· Digital Signal Isolators
· Isolated Bus Transceivers
· Magnetic Field Sensors
· Magnetic Field Gradient Sensors (Gradiometer)
· Digital Magnetic Field Sensors.
