Digital Isolators (Data Coupler)
Isolated Transmission of Digital Signals
Digital isolators, which are often also called data couplers, transmit digital signals isolated via an isolation barrier. Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) achieves this via a capacitive coupling technology that is very durable and robust. Data couplers are therefore a modern, energy-saving and durable replacement for optocouplers and support data rates of up to 150MHz and have an isolation of up to 5kVrms.

The main areas of application are:
- Signal isolation in industrial control systems (PLC)
- Isolated interfaces such as RS485, CAN, SPI, I2C, Ethernet, ModBus etc.
- Isolated supply of measuring and sensor networks
- Current loop sensors and analog transmitters (4-20mA)
- Isolated control of MOSFET and IGBT drivers
