ESD/Latch-Up Considerations with iCoupler Isolation ProductsAnalog Devices iCoupler products offer an alternative isolation solution to optocouplers with superior integration, performance, and power consumption characteristics. An iCoupler isolation channel consists of CMOS input and output circuits and a chip scale transformer (see Figure 1). Because the iCoupler employs CMOS technology, it can be more vulnerable to latch-up or electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage than an optocoupler when subjected to system-level ESD, surge voltage, fast transient, or other overvoltage conditions.
