The ISO808, ISO808-1 (PowerSO-36) and ISO808Q, ISO808Q-1 (TFQFPN32) are galvanic isolated 8-channel drivers featuring a low supply current. Each driver contains 2 independent galvanic isolated voltage domains (VCC and VDD for the Process and Control Logic stages, respectively). The ICs are intended for driving any kind of load with one side connected to ground. Active channel current limitation (OVL) combined with thermal shutdown (OVT), independent for each channel, protects the device against overload. Built-in thermal shutdown protects each channel from overtemperature and overload: each overheated channel automatically turns OFF after its junction temperature triggers the protection threshold (TJSD). The channel turns back ON if its junction temperature decreases lower than restart threshold (TJR). An additional case temperature sensor protects the whole chip against overtemperature (OVC event): if the case temperature triggers the TCSD threshold then overloaded channels are turned OFF and restart only when case temperature decreased down to the reset threshold (TCR). Non overloaded channels continue to operate normally. Other embedded functions are loss of ground protection, VCC and VDD UVLOs (with hysteresis), and watchdog. An internal circuit provides an OR-wired not latched OVT that is reported on the common FAULT indicator pin. FAULT is an open drain, active low, fault indication pin. The Synchronous Control Mode (by driving SYNC and LOAD pins independently) is used to reduce the jittering of the outputs and to drive at the same time the outputs of different devices.

Each driver contains 2 independent galvanic isolated voltage domains (VCC and VDD for the Process and Control Logic stages, respectively). The ICs are intended for driving any kind of load with one side connected to ground. The Control Logic Stage features an 8-bit Output Status Register (where the MCU sets the ON/OFF status of the output channels in the Process Stage), daisy chaining is allowed. The two stages communicate through the galvanic isolation channel by an ST proprietary protocol. Active channel current limitation (OVL) combined with thermal shutdown (OVT), independent for each channel, protects the device against overload. Built-in thermal shut down protects each channel from over-temperature and overload: each overheated channel automatically turns OFF after its junction temperature triggers the protection threshold (TJSD). The channel turns back ON if its junction temperature decreases lower than restart threshold (TJR). An additional case temperature sensor protects the whole chip against over-temperature (OVC event): if the case temperature triggers the TCSD threshold then overloaded channels are turned OFF and will restart only when case temperature decreased down to the reset threshold (TCR). Non overloaded channels continue to operate normally. Other embedded functions are loss of ground protection, VCC and VDD UVLOs (with hysteresis), watchdog and VCC Power GOOD. An internal circuit provides an OR-wired not latched common FAULT indicator signaling the channel OVT. The PGOOD diagnostic pin is activated if VCC goes below the power good threshold. Both FAULT and PGOOD pins are open drain, active low, fault indication pins.

The ISOSD61 is a galvanic isolated second order Sigma-Delta modulator based on embedded transformer coupling technology. It converts an analog input signal with maximum range of ±320 mV into a high speed, 25 Msps, 1-bit digital data stream. The signal information can be rebuilt by means of a digital filtering. The modulator is isolated from the digital I/O section through a high-speed isolated data coupling, whose performances are far better than other isolated transceivers like optocouplers.

Transil diode arrays provide high overvoltage protection by clamping action. Their instantaneous response to transient overvoltages makes them particularly suited to protect voltage sensitive devices such as MOS Technology and low voltage supplied IC’s. The ITA series combines high surge capability against energetic pulses with high voltage performance against ESD.

The KF series are very low drop regulators available in SO-8 and DPAK packages and in a wide range of output voltages. The very low dropout voltage (0.4 V) and the very low quiescent current make them particularly suitable for low noise, low power applications and especially in battery powered systems. A shutdown logic control function is available (pin 5, TTL compatible). This means that when the device is used as a local regulator, it is possible to put a part of the board in standby, decreasing the total power consumption. It requires only a 2.2 μF capacitor for stability allowing space and cost saving.
