IL 012-3E

Overview

The IL012-3E is a low-power, general-purpose digital isolator from NVE Corp/Isolation Products. It features magnetic coupling technology with two channels (one in each direction). The device operates at data rates up to 10 Mbps and supports supply voltages of 3.3V or 5V. It provides an isolation rating of 2500Vrms and exhibits a common-mode transient immunity of 30kV/µs. Typical quiescent current is 0.3 mA per channel. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes IsoLoop® magnetic coupling technology for signal transmission without optical components.
• Provides galvanic isolation between circuits with high common-mode transient immunity.
• Designed for low-power operation with minimal quiescent current consumption per channel.

Applications

• Industrial communication interfaces requiring galvanic isolation
• Embedded systems connecting microcontrollers to peripheral devices
• Human-machine interface (HMI) circuits with external peripherals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package variant. Confirm that the manufacturer designation aligns with NVE Corp/Isolation Products. Ensure the component status is listed as active for long-term availability. Cross-reference the datasheet specifications against system voltage and speed requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, bidirectional isolator is needed for 3.3V or 5V logic levels. The 8-pin SOIC package suits space-constrained designs. Consider the 10 Mbps data rate limit for high-speed applications. Verify thermal performance within the specified operating temperature range for industrial environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the IL01x series of IsoLoop® digital isolators. It shares the same magnetic coupling architecture as other models in the family but differs in channel count and pin configuration. The series is designed to replace traditional optocouplers in various industrial and commercial applications.

Replacement Considerations
