ISO1228: Use the Resistor to replace LED

Part Number: ISO1228

Tool/software:

HI Sir

Due to space issue, we need to remove the led & Resistor replace it

have any issue?

  • Hello Alex,

    In order to maintain the wire break feature of the ISO1228, you can choose to use a diode if an LED is not needed. The device needs some consistent voltage drop for the wire detect feature to work. A resistor cannot be used because it will not have constant voltage drop. Any diode of voltage higher than 0.8V can be used for wire break. 

    Also, please review "Figure 8-2. Sinking Type Digital Inputs with ISO1228". The cathode of the diode/LED should be connected to AVSS and not in parallel with the input signal.

  • hi Sir

    if i use the IN4148 to replace LED, iso1228 can work correct?

    thanks

  • Hello Alex,

    The IN4148 should work to replace the LED since it has VF = 1V (assuming IF=100mA). Please let me know the updated schematic.

  • hi Andrew

    Due to board space issue, we need to remove the all in4148 , after remove the in4148, if have problem?

  • Hi Alex, 

    The diodes are typically needed for full operation of the device. Certain features may be unavailable, however let me check with the team to see if there is a way to operate with less diodes or no diodes. 

  • Hello Alex,

    ISO1228 can operate without LED/diode in both sink and source mode but the wire break detection will not be available. “The LEDx pins can be connected directly to GND in sink mode provided wire-break detection is not used and V24V in source mode.” (7.3.2 Field Side LED Indication).

  • hi Andrew

    could you describe it detail? thanks

     the pin is mean The LED

    1. short the pin to Ground, what happen?
    2. The pin pull high to 24v ,what happen?
    3. floating the pin,what happen?thanks

  • Hi Alex, 

    Good questions. Please allow me some extra time to answer them. I am checking with the team on a few items.

  • hi

    Could i reduce the resistor space from 0805 down to 0603  Size?

    thanks

  • Hello Alex, 

    You can use the size needed for your application. However, please keep in mind that the smaller resistors will need to be rated for the correct surge and power rating that your application requires.

  • Hello Alex, 

    Thank you for your patience. To answer your questions, see below: 

    • In sink mode, LEDx pins can be connected to GND. A diode is needed for wire break detection to work. Wire break detection will not be available if the LEDx pin is shorted. 
    • In source mode, the LEDx pins can be connected to AVCC (wire break detection is not available in source mode). 
    1. short the pin to Ground, what happen?
      1. In Sink mode, no issue. The device will operate
      2. In Source mode, this is an invalid condition the device will not operate as expected.
    2. The pin pulled high to 24v, what happen?
      1. In Sink mode, this is an invalid condition the device will not operate as expected.
      2. In Source mode, no issue. The device will operate
    3. floating the pin, what happen? 
      1. Not a valid function. Device will not operate as expected.
