Digital isolators provide a path for electrical isolation between two different circuits, often isolating two pieces of equipment from each other while still enabling them to communicate. The ADUM3473WCRSZ is one such device, designed for use in a variety of applications where the isolation of two circuits is required. This article will look at the application field and working principle of the ADUM3473WCRSZ.

The ADUM3473WCRSZ is a digital isolator with a linear optocoupler with integrated voltage regulator. It is used in applications where it is necessary to provide isolation between two circuits while still allowing communications between them. The digital isolator utilises optocoupling for electrical isolation, with a linear optocoupler providing the required level of isolation. The linear optocoupler is an optoelectronic device which uses a semiconductor light source to produce an output signal in response to an input signal. The optoelectronic device has a light emitting diode (LED) and a semiconductor photo-detector in a single package, providing isolation between the input and output of the device.

The ADUM3473WCRSZ digital isolator is intended for use in a variety of applications, including portable communications systems, medical devices and power supplies. The device is capable of withstanding high levels of surge voltage, and can be used to provide an isolation barrier between two circuits. This can be hugely beneficial, for example in medical applications where a patient is connected to a monitoring system which must be kept isolated from other equipment. Other applications include providing optical isolation in electrical circuits where the electrical connection must be broken without losing any of the digital signal transmission.

In order to understand how the ADUM3473WCRSZ digital isolator works, we must first understand how the linear optocoupler functions. As mentioned above, the linear optocoupler utilises a semiconductor light source (LED) to produce an output signal in response to an input signal. This light-emitting diode emits a beam of light when an electrical current is applied. The light passes through an optical element which separates the two sides of the optical barrier. The optical element is reflective on one side, and absorptive on the other side. This allows light produced on one side of the barrier to be reflected back onto the receiving side. The receiver side, which usually contains a semiconductor photo detector, will convert the light into an electrical current or voltage, depending on its design.

The ADUM3473WCRSZ digital isolator contains an integrated voltage regulator, which is used to ensure that the correct voltage is applied to the LED. This ensures that the output voltage of the device is constant and reliable, regardless of input voltage fluctuations. The regulator also helps to protect the device from overvoltage conditions, as it will automatically reduce the voltage to a safe level if one is detected. In order to ensure a reliable data transmission between the transmitter and receiver, the ADUM3473WCRSZ also contains an amplifier which boosts the signal before it is transmitted, and a demodulator which ensures that the received signal is as strong as the transmitted signal.

The ADUM3473WCRSZ digital isolator is a useful device for a variety of applications, as it provides an effective method of isolating two circuits while still allowing them to communicate. The device utilises a linear optocoupler and an integrated regulator to provide a reliable form of isolation, and also includes an amplifier and demodulator for reliable data transmission. The ADUM3473WCRSZ is well suited to applications such as portable communications systems, medical devices and power supplies, as it can provide an effective isolation barrier while still allowing the circuits to communicate.
