IL 716-3E

Overview

The IL716-3E is a quad-channel digital isolator from NVE, utilizing GMR technology for signal transmission. It features a data rate of 110 Mbps and supports 2500 Vrms isolation voltage. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum input current of 10 μA, a rise time of 4 ns, and a maximum forward voltage of 7V.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) technology for internal signal DC processing
• Features a ceramic/polymer composite barrier providing excellent isolation
• Designed for high noise immunity with minimal self-generated EMC noise

Applications

• Industrial communication systems
• Data acquisition equipment
• Medical electronics interfaces
• Power supply control circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '3E' against official NVE documentation to confirm voltage and channel configurations. Ensure the 16-pin SOIC footprint matches the target PCB design. Cross-reference the datasheet for thermal management requirements given the wide operating temperature range. Confirm compliance with relevant safety standards for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when four isolated channels are required in a compact surface-mount package. The GMR technology offers superior performance compared to traditional optical or capacitive isolators in high-noise environments. Consider the 110 Mbps speed limit for signal integrity requirements. Evaluate the 2500 Vrms rating against system isolation needs.
