About

Isolated High-side Switches for Digital Outputs

ISOFACE™ Digital Output ICs provide a highly integrated solution for driving industrial actuators and all type of loads.  Featuring eight galvanically isolated IEC 61131-2 compliant high-side power switches per IC, they are an ideal solution for all kind of digital outputs used in industrial automation environments like PLCs but as well for industrial robots, drives, machinery, windpower, etc. With their high level of integration they simplify IEC 61131-2 compliant digital I/O designs while reducing PCB area and BOM complexity. The coreless transformer isolation protects control electronics from noise, transients and ground shifts in harsh industrial environments. Advanced protection and diagnostics, including overload, short-circuit, overtemperature and voltage monitoring, support reliable operation and efficient troubleshooting. Integrated clamping allows safe switching of inductive loads while reducing external components. The ISOFACE™ portfolio combines ultra robust switches with reliable, field proven isolation without degradation over lifetime and offers in addition diagnostic capabilities that make them a future proof solution for many upcoming smart factory applications.

Isolated Digital Input ICs Industrial Field Sensors

ISOFACE™ Digital Input ICs provide application tailored solutions for interfacing industrial sensors with digital control equipment such as PLCs. The ICs can be configured to different sensor types in a IEC61131-2 compliant manner.  All products provide a precise regulation of the sensor current, matching IEC61131-2 requirements and at the same time greatly reduce unwanted power dissipation. Having a robust and field proven galvanic isolation integrated the ICs transfer the captured sensor data safely to the logic voltage domain. Here the user can choose whether the data shall be post-processed with a digital averaging filter. Filter settings from 50µs to 20ms offer a broad spectrum to optimize the application against disturbances. For data exchange with external controllers, parallel or SPI interface types can be selected by the user. In addition sophisticated diagnostic features are available, enabling not only system monitoring and precise fault localisation that simplifies maintenance but also help to accelerate fab installation process and make ISOFACE™ Digital Input ICs an ideal choice for usage in upcoming smart factories, but as well for robotics, drives and windpower.
