IL 260-3E

Overview

The IL260-3E is a high-speed digital isolator from NVE Corp/Isolation Products, housed in a 16-SOIC package. It provides five independent isolation channels with a typical data rate of 110 Mbps and a common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 30 kV/µs. The device supports a working voltage of 600 VRMS and offers reinforced isolation up to 6 kVRMS for the VE-series variants. Typical quiescent current consumption is 1.2 mA per channel.

Feature Summary

• Provides five-channel digital isolation for signal transmission
• Features high common-mode transient immunity of 30 kV/µs
• Supports reinforced isolation ratings up to 6 kVRMS

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring galvanic isolation
• Medical equipment needing reinforced safety isolation
• Power electronics control circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '3E' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout and isolation rating variations. Ensure the component matches the required 16-SOIC package dimensions. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit devices. Confirm that the specified CMTI and isolation voltage meet your system's safety standards before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when five isolated channels are required within a single package. Consider the 110 Mbps data rate for high-speed communication needs. Evaluate the 1.2 mA/channel quiescent current against power budget constraints. Verify that the 600 VRMS working voltage aligns with the application's electrical stress requirements.

Part Context

The IL260 series belongs to NVE's family of high-speed digital isolators utilizing proprietary technology. These devices replace traditional optocouplers in many applications by offering higher speed and better reliability. The IL260 specifically integrates five channels, making it suitable for complex multi-signal isolation tasks in compact designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the IL261-3E or IL262-3E if channel configuration or specific isolation ratings differ. Verify pin compatibility and functional equivalence before replacing existing components in a design.
