IL 816TE

Overview

The IL 816TE is a general-purpose digital isolator manufactured by NVE Corp/Isolation Products. It features four channels with a unidirectional signal path and utilizes Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) technology for isolation. The device provides a basic isolation voltage of 2500Vrms and supports data rates up to 40Mbps. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V and functions across an industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The component is housed in a 16-SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GMR technology for high-speed digital isolation without integrated power supplies
• Provides robust common-mode transient immunity for noisy environments
• Supports unidirectional signal transmission across four isolated channels

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Medical equipment signal isolation
• Power electronics gate drive circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TE' to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging configuration, as standard tubes may differ. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing lot, as older variants may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure the procurement source provides valid traceability documentation for this discontinued or legacy component series.

Selection Notes

Select the IL 816TE when four-channel unidirectional isolation is required with high CMTI performance. Compare against the IL 711 series if bidirectional communication or higher data rates are necessary. Verify that the 16-SOIC footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints and that the operating temperature range meets the application's thermal requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IsoLoop® family of digital isolators from NVE Corporation. These devices leverage proprietary GMR sensor technology to achieve electrical isolation without optical components. The IL 816 variant specifically addresses applications requiring multiple isolated channels in a compact surface-mount package.
