Isoloop digital isolators

Want to lose those slow opto isolators and opto couplers? Try the IsoLoop ten point plan for kicking the opto isolator habit.


Single, dual, four and five channel 100M bps active input Isoloop digital isolators.

Active input digital magnetic isolators

Single, dual, four and five channel 150 Mbps active input Isoloop digital isolators. Ideal for logic level shifting, isolated data interfaces, peripheral interfaces, Profibus, DeviceNet, CANbus & I2C bus applications.

Isolated RS422, RS485 ( with or without handshake ) and Profibus interfaces.

Isolated bus transceivers

Isolated RS422, RS485 ( with or without handshake ) and Profibus interfaces. Low cost and fractional load transceivers.

Single and dual input and output passive input Isoloop digital isolators

Passive input isolators

Single and dual input and output Isoloop digital isolators, ideal for CANbus and I2C bus applications, isolated gate drives and logic level shifting. Smallest versions available in MSOP package.

DC correct digital isolators

DC correct digital isolators

Compared to the industry standard IL700-series, which have speeds up to 150 Mbps, IL500-Series isolators are more cost effective, offer a DC-correct design, and have an external clocking option on some models.
