7.3.1 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Considerations

Many applications in harsh industrial environment are sensitive to disturbances such as electrostatic

discharge (ESD), electrical fast transient (EFT), surge, and electromagnetic emissions. These electromagnetic

disturbances are regulated by international standards such as IEC 61000-4-x and CISPR 22. Although system-

level performance and reliability depends, to a large extent, on the application board design and layout, the

ISO7842 device incorporates many chip-level design improvements for overall system robustness. Some of

these improvements include

• Robust ESD protection cells for input and output signal pins and inter-chip bond pads.

• Low-resistance connectivity of ESD cells to supply and ground pins.

• Enhanced performance of high voltage isolation capacitor for better tolerance of ESD, EFT and surge events.

• Bigger on-chip decoupling capacitors to bypass undesirable high energy signals through a low impedance

path.

• PMOS and NMOS devices isolated from each other by using guard rings to avoid triggering of parasitic

SCRs.

• Reduced common mode currents across the isolation barrier by providing purely differential internal

operation.

Default

Default mode: When INx is open, the corresponding channel output goes to

the default logic state. Default= High for ISO7842 and Low for ISO7842F.

Default

Default mode: When VCCI is unpowered, a channel output assumes the

logic state based on the selected default option. Default= High for IISO7842

and Low for ISO7842F.

When VCCI transitions from unpowered to powered-up, a channel output

assumes the logic state of the input.

When VCCI transitions from powered-up to unpowered, channel output

assumes the selected default state.

Undetermined

When VCCO is unpowered, a channel output is undetermined (1).

When VCCO transitions from unpowered to powered-up, a channel output

assumes the logic state of the input

(1)

The outputs are undetermined when 1.7V < VCCI, VCCO < 2.25V.

(2)

A strongly driven input signal can weakly power the floating VCC through an internal protection diode and cause undetermined output.
