This simple, compact solution is ideal for isolated SPI data requiring communication across different ground potentials often found in Industrial PLCs (programmable logic controllers) and Instrumentation and data acquisition systems. Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a protocol that is commonly used for communication between microcontrollers and peripheral ICs such as sensors, ADCs, DACs, and others. The project is based on an ISOW7741 quad-channel digital isolator with an integrated DC-DC converter. For many industrial control applications, the communications pathway between the microcontroller and the I/O module devices must be isolated. Isolation helps to minimize noise and ground loop issues and also protects expensive control units (MCUs or FPGAs) and equipment operators. This module is the solution to all these problems and the inbuilt DC-DC converter is a great advantage that powers the output side of the circuitry and thus the project can work with a single supply. The DC-DC converter output can be used to power the peripherals device maximum load up to 100mA with 5VDC input.

The integrated isolated DC-DC converter uses advanced circuit and on-chip layout techniques to reduce radiated emissions and achieve up to 46% typical efficiency. The integrated transformer uses thin film polymer as the insulation barrier. The output voltage of the power converter can be controlled to 3.3 V or 5 V using VSEL pin. Read Note 2 for output voltage selection.
The project has four high-speed three forward and one reverse direction channels. The first three forward channels can be used, for CS (Chip Select) CLK, MI/SO, and the fourth reverse channel for MO/SI (the slash indicates the connection of the particular input and output channel across the isolator)
The device ISOW7741 is high-performance, quad channel digital isolator with integrated DC-DC converter. Typically, digital isolators require two power supplies isolated from each other to power up both sides of device. Due to the integrated DC-DC converter in the device, the isolated supply is generated inside the device that can be used to power isolated side of the device and peripherals on isolated side, thus saving board space. The device uses single-ended CMOS-logic switching technology.
