ISOM8710: side-1 vs side-2 definition

Tyler Holmvik

Part Number: ISOM8710

Hi -

On page 6 of the datasheet, it shows individual power dissipation limits for side-1 and side-2. I’m guessing side-1 is the receiver side and side-2 is the output side, but I can’t find where it explicitly defines which side is which. Can you help me understand which is side-1 and which is side-2?

Hello again Tyler,

You are correct. Side 1 refers to the diode emulator side (AN and CAT). Side 2 refers to the transistor output side (VCC, COL and EM).

Best,
Andrew

Thanks. Can you kindly point me to where this is defined in the datasheet? Maybe I missed it.

Hi Tyler,

It looks like there is not a direct mention in the datasheet. I will give this feedback to the team. However, this terminology is consistent throughout the datasheet and in our other isolation devices.

Here is one mention although it is in passing.

Best,
Andrew

Thank you. My questions have been anwered.

Yes please correct in datasheet. There should be definition of side-1 and side-2 if that is the terminology used in datasheet.
