Hello,
I'm looking for a high-speed (480 Mbps) USB isolator for a a design I'm just beginning work on. I've noticed you have got a preview part that seems to do what I'm after - ISOUSB211.
Could you tell me:
- Is there an expected date for availability in the UK?
- Does it have an ESD rating as per IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 (±15 kV air discharge/±8 kV contact discharge). The datasheet only specifies HBM and CDM.
- Would you expect such a rating to be achievable on the circuit level with additional protection circuitry? (i.e. could the isolation barrier itself withstand such a discharge, even if specific inputs need protection)
- Do you have any other solutions for isolation of high speed USB?
I'd be very interested in designing with this part, but I'm currently a little concerned about likely availability and would need to be sure of this before choosing it.
Many thanks
