Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance
semiconductors for signal-processing applications and a pioneer in
digital isolator technology, today introduced the ezLINX™ iCoupler®
isolated interface development environment. The plug-and-play
ezLINX iCoupler isolated interface development environment
significantly reduces development time by enabling the evaluation
of eight physical layer, digitally-isolated communication standards
simultaneously (USB, RS-422, RS-485, RS-232, CAN, 2 x SPI, I²C, and
LVDS). The tool was developed to assist embedded designers and
system architects in designing and evaluating isolated
communication interfaces using ADI’s isolated interface
transceivers with integrated iCoupler and isoPower® digital
isolation technology. These highly integrated isolated transceivers
offer lower power, higher timing performance and functional
integration, greater stability over lifetime and are easier to use
than the traditional method of isolating interfaces using discrete
optocouplers. The ezLINX iCoupler isolated interface development
environment also integrates an additional expansion port for added
functionality and scalability.

Development Environment
ADI’s ezLINX iCoupler isolated interface development environment
is designed for engineers working in industrial automation, energy
delivery, medical systems and other applications who need to better
evaluate system-level tradeoffs in critical, isolated
communications networks. Designers and system architects can
quickly benefit from the easy-to-access, open-source hardware and
software on the ezLINX iCoupler isolated interface development
environment, which is based on ADI’s proven ADSP-BF548 Blackfin®
processor core running a uCLinux® kernel. The ezLINX environment
also includes on-board sample application software, which allows
for direct monitoring of the bus traffic and helps designers make a
quick “box-to-bench” transition.

iCoupler Digital Isolation Technology Overview
As the global leader in digital isolation, ADI's proven iCoupler
digital isolator technology is based on chip-scale transformers,
rather than on the LEDs and photodiodes found in optocouplers.
Transformers support higher data rates, consume less power, and are
more stable over life compared to LEDs and photodiodes. By
fabricating the transformers directly on-chip using wafer-level
processing, iCoupler digital isolation channels can be integrated
with each other and other semiconductor functions at low cost.
iCoupler digital isolator transformers are planar structures formed
from CMOS and gold metal layers.
A high-breakdown thick polyimide layer underneath the gold layer
insulates the top transformer coil from the bottom coil, resulting
in the most reliable and highest level of digital isolation
available. CMOS circuits connected to the top coil and bottom coil
provide the interface between each transformer and its external
signals. With more than half a billion channels deployed to date,
ADI's iCoupler digital isolator technology has been designed into
hundreds of applications and growing.
