PCM2707 design bus powered - galvanic isolation

Hello everyone;

i want to make a project with PCM2707 bus powered but i need GND isolation from usb-pc ;

i was thinking to use DCR01 Miniature, 1W Isolated Regulated DC/DC Converter for isolation but i don't know if usb bus differential line is working without reference to it`s own GND (from PC).

I really need to avoid using a full galvanic isolation module for usb (costly and used space)

  • Hi, Mihai,

    Welcome to E2E and thank you for your interest in our products.

    USB differential line and VBUS are all referenced to USB ground. Additionally, D+ should be pulled up with a 1.5 kohm resistor. The device must not provide power to the pull up resistor on D+ while VBUS of the USB port is inactive. This is to avoid back voltage in self-powered operation.

    Best regards,
