isolated USB

Started by Mouarf August 17, 2006
Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to get galvanic isolation of a USB device (whatever  
it is). Do you know somewhere a company or a product or a way to get this  
isolation, I think that optocoplers won't fit the bandwidth.

I need such product for USB high speed or at least USB full speed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You can get a hub with isolation: http://www.bb-elec.com/product.asp?SKU=UISOHUB4 Leo Havm&#4294967295;ller.
thanks a lot, if nearly fits the bill but it does not work for USB 2.0 but  
only USB1.1, does anyone know something that work for USB2.0?

Thanks in advance

Do you realize that anything that is USB 1.1 conforming and works at full speed? A USB 1.1 hub will work with USB 2.0 host and device at full speed, just not high speed. -- Jack Klein Home: http://JK-Technology.Com FAQs for comp.lang.c http://c-faq.com/ comp.lang.c++ http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~ajo/docs/FAQ-acllc.html

yes I do realize but my app needs high speed transfer to work correctly so a USB1.1 isolation is not enough for the application to work properly...

It is a common misconception to think that saying USB 2.0 is the same as saying USB High Speed. It may be true that USB 1.0 and 1.1 did not have High Speed and that USB 2.0 does have high speed, but USB 2.0 also has Low Speed and Full Speed. So saying USB 2.0 says nothing about the speed. If you need High Speed, you should say USB High Speed. It is the USB 2.0 that is then implied, not the other way around.

Take a look at my first post, I told about High Speed...

Who says we are here to help? Our purpose is to carp and fuss about foolish misuse of usenet, such as failure to snip (horrible example above) and lack of precision. The sacrifice of at least one rooster on the block is necessary before any help can be offered. Better results are had with sheep, and even better a bull.
