Is the ISO721MMDREP susceptable to common mode noise at 100kHz?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ISO721

I have a design that incorporates two ISO721MMDREP devices to transfer static logic signals across an isolation barrier.

The same isolation barrier is bridged by an isolated 300Watt DC/DC converter that is operating at 100kHz. This converter is inducing some amount (<50mVAC) of common mode noise across the isolation barrier at the fundamental switching frequency of 100kHz.

Even when the input signals to the ISO721MMDREP are shorted, we see very short noise transients (less than 1uS) at 100kHz at the output of the isolator.

The issue originally appeared at cold temperature soak (-40C), but now appears at room temperature also.

Is the ISO21MMDREP susceptible to common mode noise at 100kHz across the isolation barrier?

  • Michael,
    ISO721 can handled small transients quiet well and we do not expect the out to misbehave.
    Can you please explain the nature of the noise transient that you see?
    Is it a full digital transition from low to high for 1us or is it ringing over the DC level?
    Can you also check if the Supply on either side is clean if not does adding decoupling capacitor help in the issue?
    As a debug could also check with ISO7310CD which is pin compatible with the ISO721.
