ISO7041: Regarding the meaning of Cio

Part Number: ISO7041

Tool/software:

Hi team,

Cio: Barrier capacitance, input to output, is equivalent to the capacitive coupling in a photocoupler, correct?

Both refer to the capacitive coupling that occurs across the isolation barrier.

Best regards, 

Kyohei

  • Hi Kyohei,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    CIO (barrier capacitance) is the measurement of capacitance between side 1 and side 2 of the isolator.

    I am not sure on what you mean regarding capacitive coupling. If you are talking about the capacitance between input side and output side, yes it would be the same.

    If my understanding of your questions was not correct, some more explanation would be helpful.
