General Purpose Digital Isolator 2500Vrms 4 Channel 110MBd 15kV/µs CMTI 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
Active

Overview

The HCPL-092J-000E is a high-speed quad-channel digital isolator based on Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) technology. It supports data rates up to 110MBd with a 2500Vrms isolation rating, providing a robust alternative to traditional optocouplers in high-density digital systems. This CMOS-compatible device operates between 3V and 5.5V, offering unidirectional signal isolation with low power consumption.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers high CMTI of 15kV/microsecond, ensuring signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The GMR technology allows for significantly lower power consumption and faster propagation delays compared to standard optoisolators. Its narrow-body 16-SOIC footprint provides four isolated channels in a compact area, ideal for space-constrained PCB designs.

Applications

Industrial Fieldbus Isolation
Protects sensitive controllers while maintaining high-speed communication in RS-485, CAN, or DeviceNet networks.
Multiplexed Data Transmission
Utilizes its four unidirectional channels to manage multi-line data buses without signal interference.
Computer Peripheral Interfaces
Provides high-speed galvanic isolation for parallel interfaces and peripheral communication ports.
Digital Logic Level Shifting
Safely bridges signals between systems operating on different supply voltages while maintaining 110MBd throughput.

Getting Started

When designing with the HCPL-092J, ensure both VDD1 and VDD2 are bypassed with 0.1 microfarad ceramic capacitors placed as close to the supply pins as possible to minimize GMR switching noise. Verify that input signal rise and fall times are within datasheet limits to prevent jitter at 110MBd speeds. Since the channels are unidirectional, ensure the device orientation aligns with your signal flow requirements.
