Würth Elektronik Launches Dual Channel Digital Isolator for Industrial Automation
Würth Elektronik Unveils High-Performance Dual-Channel Digital Isolators with Enhanced Isolation Voltage
Würth Elektronik expands its digital isolator portfolio with the introduction of a new two-channel version housed in a compact SOIC 8WB package (5.85 x 11.5 x 2.8 mm). This innovative design delivers a critical advantage: exceptional isolation voltage of 5 kV RMS. This enhanced isolation capability makes it ideal for electronic devices operating in demanding environments exposed to high voltage and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) interference.
Addressing Critical Needs in Industrial Applications
The new digital isolators are specifically designed to address the needs of industrial applications requiring:
- High Isolation Voltage: The 5 kV RMS isolation voltage safeguards against electrical breakdown and ensures reliable operation in environments with high voltage differentials.
- Two-Channel Functionality: The dual-channel configuration enables simultaneous isolation of two separate digital signals, streamlining design complexity.
- High-Speed Data Transmission: These isolators excel in high-speed applications, supporting data rates up to 150 Mbps.
- Superior Noise Immunity: The isolators boast exceptional common mode transient immunity (CMTI) of ±150 kV/µs, effectively mitigating the effects of system noise.
Galvanic Isolation for Reliable Data Transmission
Surface-mount technology (SMT) digital isolators are employed for galvanic isolation, a technique that electrically isolates circuits while enabling the transmission of digital signals. This isolation prevents distortion or errors in data transmission and protects personnel and sensitive circuits from exposure to high voltages.
Applications Across Diverse Industries
The WPME-CDIS (Capacitive Digital Isolator Standard) series, featuring UL 1577 approval, finds application in a wide range of industries, including:
- Test and measurement systems
- Battery management systems
- Solar inverters
- Industrial switching power supplies
- Motor controllers
- Communication bus isolation
Comprehensive Digital Isolator Portfolio
In addition to the new two-channel isolators, Würth Elektronik offers a comprehensive selection of digital isolators, encompassing various configurations:
- Two-channel and four-channel options
- High or low default output versions
Furthermore, the WPME-CDIP (Capacitive Digital Isolator Powered) series offers capacitive digital isolators equipped with an integrated DC/DC converter, providing a convenient solution for applications requiring power supply isolation.
