DESCRIPTION
The ISO103 isolation amplifier provides both signal
and power across an isolation barrier. The ceramic
non-hermetic hybrid package with side-brazed pins
contains a transformer-coupled DC/DC converter and
a capacitor-coupled signal channel.
Extra power is available on the isolated input side for
external input conditioning circuitry. The converter is
protected from shorts to ground with an internal current limit, and the soft-start feature limits the initial
currents from the power source. Multiple-channel synchronization can be accomplished by applying a TTL
clock signal to paralleled Sync pins. The Enable con-
trol is used to turn off transformer drive while keeping
the signal channel demodulator active. This feature
provides a convenient way to reduce quiescent current
for low power applications.
The wide barrier pin spacing and internal insulation
allow for the generous 1500Vrms continuous rating.
Reliability is assured by 100% barrier breakdown
testing that conforms to UL1244 test methods. Low
barrier capacitance minimizes AC leakage currents.
These specifications and built-in features make the
ISO103 easy to use, as well as providing for compact
PC board layouts.

ISO103
The ISO103 isolation amplifier contains a transformercoupled DC/DC converter that is powered from the output
side of the isolation amplifier. All power supply pins (1, 2,
3, 4, 14, and 16) of the ISO103 have an internal 0.1µF
capacitor to ground. L1 is used to slow down fast changes in
the input current to the DC/DC converter. C1 is used to help
regulate the voltage ripple caused by the current demands of
the converter. L1, C1, and C2 are optional, however, recommended for low noise applications.
The DC/DC converter creates an unregulated ±15V output
to ±VCC1. If the ISO103 is the only device using the DC/DC
converter for power, pins 1 and 2 and pins 3 and 4 can be
connected directly without CO or LO in the circuit. If an
external capacitor is used in this configuration, it should not
exceed 1µF. This configuration is possible because the
isolation amplifier and the DC/DC converter are synchronized internally.
If additional devices are powered by the DC/DC converter
of the ISO103, the application may require that the ripple
voltage of the ISO103 converter be attenuated. In which
case, LO and CO should be added to the circuit. The inductor
is used to attenuate the ripple current and a higher value
capacitor can be used to reduce the ripple voltage even
further.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The block diagram on the front page shows the isolation
amplifier’s synchronized signal and power configuration,
which eliminate beat frequency interference. A proprietary
800kHz oscillator chip, power MOSFET transformer drivers, patented square core wirebonded transformer, and single
chip diode bridge provide power to the input side of the
isolation amplifier as well as external loads. The signal
channel capacitively couples a duty-cycle encoded signal
across the ceramic high-voltage barrier built into the package. A proprietary transmitter-receiver pair of integrated
circuits, laser trimmed at wafer level, and coupled through a
pair of matched “fringe” capacitors, result in a simple,
reliable design.
SIGNAL AND POWER CONNECTIONS
Figure 1 shows the proper power supply and signal connections. All power supply pins should be bypassed as shown
with the π filter for +VCC2, an option recommended if more
than ±15mA are drawn from the isolated supply. Separate
rectifier output pins (±VCC1) and amplifier supply input pins
(±VC) allow additional ripple filtering and/or regulation. The
separate input and output common pins and output sense are
low current inputs tied to the signal source ground, output
ground, and output load, respectively, to minimize errors
due to IR drop in long conductors. Otherwise, connect Com
1 to Gnd 1, Com 2 to Gnd 2, and Sense to VOUT at the
ISO103 socket. The enable pin may be left open if the
ISO103 is continuously operated. If not, a TTL low level
will disable the internal DC/DC converter. The Sync input
must be grounded for unsynchronized operation while a
1.2MHz to 2MHz TTL clock signal provides synchronization of multiple units.
OPTIONAL GAIN AND OFFSET ADJUSTMENTS
Rated gain accuracy and offset performance can be achieved
with no external adjustments, but the circuit of Figure 2a
may be used to provide a gain trim of ±0.5% for the values
shown; greater range may be provided by increasing the size
of R1 and R2. Every 2kΩ increase in R1 will give an
additional 1% adjustment range, with R2 ≥ 2R1. If safety or
convenience dictate location of the adjustment potentiometer on the other side of the barrier from the position shown
in Figure 2a, the position of R1 and R2 may be reversed.
