3 Description

The ISO124 is a precision isolation amplifier

incorporating a novel duty cycle modulationdemodulation

technique. The signal is transmitted

digitally across a 2-pF differential capacitive barrier.

With digital modulation, the barrier characteristics do

not affect signal integrity, thus resulting in excellent

reliability and good high-frequency transient immunity

across the barrier. Both barrier capacitors are

imbedded in the plastic body of the package.

The ISO124 is easy to use. No external components

are required for operation. The key specifications are

0.010% maximum nonlinearity, 50-kHz signal

bandwidth, and 200-μV/°C VOS drift. A power supply

range of ±4.5 V to ±18 V, and quiescent currents of

±5 mA on VS1 and ±5.5 mA on VS2 make the ISO124

device a good choice for a wide range of applications.

The ISO124 is available in 16-pin PDIP and 28-lead

SOIC plastic surface-mount packages.
