TI introduces smallest 2.5-kVrms digital isolation devices

September 30, 2013

DALLAS (Sept. 30, 2013) – Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced the industry’s first family of digital isolation devices to offer the highest isolation rating, at 2.5 kV rms, in a small, 5- by 6-mm QSOP package. The ISO71xx family is 50-percent smaller than traditional SOIC isolation devices and provides an isolation rating 2.5 times better than competitive devices in the same package. Reducing board space without compromising protection from lower isolation ratings or EFT surges is increasingly important in industrial automation applications, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and sensors, … Read More → "TI introduces smallest 2.5-kVrms digital isolation devices"
