NVE Introduces Six-Kilovolt Isolators
Best-in-Class Performance V-Series best-in-class specifications include: • 6 kVrms isolation (1 minute) per UL 1577 • 1 kV Working Voltage (line voltage) per VDE 0884-10 • 10 kV surge voltage per VDE 0884-10 • 110 Mbps • Up to 125°C operating temperature (IL700V-Series) • >100 teraohm (1014 ohm) barrier resistance • Wide-body packages with True 8 mm creepage The Best Barrier Isolation is provided by NVE’s unique ceramic/polymer composite isolation barrier with a barrier resistance of 100 teraohms and an extrapolated life of 44000 years. True 8 millimeter Creepage The new isolators use NVE’s True 8™ isolator package, which meets demanding eight millimeter creepage requirements under IEC 60601. With ordinary wide-body packages, full eight millimeter creepage cannot be assured. Rigorous Testing In accordance with the benchmark UL 1577 Electrical Safety Standard, V-Series Isolators are 100% tested to a remarkable 7.2 kVrms (10.2 kVpeak). Popular Applications The new parts are ideal for demanding applications such as medical instruments, smart-grid interfaces, motor drives, and power supplies. Available Now Six-kilovolt versions of NVE’s most popular channel configurations are in stock for immediate delivery, and additional configurations will be available next quarter. A broad range of two, four, and five-channel datacouplers, as well as isolated RS-422 and RS-485 transceivers are available either now or next quarter. Datasheets and more information are available at www.nve.com. Better Performance; Same Great Price Pricing for the 6 kV parts is the same as for NVE’s 5 kV parts. In quantities of 1000, suggested pricing is $4.46 for the two-channel IL711V and IL721V; $5.83 for the four-channel IL715V, IL716V, and IL717V; $6.05 for the five-channel IL260V, IL261V, and IL262V; and $3.91 for the IL3522V, IL3585V, and IL3685V isolated transceivers. About NVE NVE is a leader in the practical commercialization of spintronics, a nanotechnology that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store and transmit information. The company manufactures high-performance spintronic products including sensors and couplers that are used to acquire and transmit data. NVE has also licensed its spintronic magnetoresistive random access memory technology, commonly known as MRAM.
