Product details
Overview
ISO102 from Burr-Brown is a hermetic, capacitive-coupled isolation buffer amplifier designed for high-voltage analog signal isolation in industrial measurement systems. It provides 1500Vrms continuous isolation, ±10V input/output range, 70kHz small-signal bandwidth, and 14-bit linearity in a 24-pin ceramic DIP package. It is used to isolate transducer signals in process control while rejecting ground-loop noise.
For engineers reviewing the ISO102 datasheet, ISO102 pinout, ISO102 application, or ISO102 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1500Vrms isolation rating, 125dB min IMR at 60Hz, 14-bit linearity, ±10V analog range, and compatibility with ±10V to ±20V dual supplies - all critical for safe, accurate high-voltage sensor interfacing.
Technical Context
The ISO102 employs a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)–phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture with two internal 3pF high-voltage ceramic capacitors forming a differential isolation barrier. Its digital modulation scheme enables immunity to common-mode dV/dt up to 100V/µs, with transient recovery in ~50µs.
It features fully independent input and output stages powered by separate ±VCC1 and ±VCC2 supplies referenced to Common1 and Common2, respectively. The isolation barrier voltage appears across Common1–Common2, and no external components are required for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 1500Vrms continuous AC (60Hz); 2121VDC - defines maximum working voltage across barrier in long-term operation |
| Isolation Breakdown | 4000Vrms for 10 seconds - confirms robustness against short-duration overvoltage stress |
| IMR @ 60Hz | 115–120dB minimum - ensures <1µVrms/V output error under 60Hz ground-noise coupling |
| Input/Output Range | ±10V rated, ±12V derated - supports full-scale industrial sensor outputs without clipping |
| Small-Signal BW | 70kHz - enables accurate capture of fast transients in motor control or power monitoring |

Pinout & Package
ISO102 is housed in a 24-pin side-brazed ceramic DIP (package drawing #208), 600mil wide, with industry-standard dimensions except for missing pins between input and output sections to support automated insertion and maximize creepage/clearance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 23, 24 | ±VCC1 / Common1 | Input stage power rails and analog reference ground - must be decoupled locally with 0.1µF ceramics |
| 11–14, 16, 21, 22 | VIN, VOUT, Offset, Gain Adjust, Reference1, Reference2 | Analog signal and calibration interface - Reference1 must be strapped to Offset for basic operation |
| 3, 4, 9, 10, 15 | C1, C2, Digital Common, Common2 | Bandwidth control nodes and output-stage reference - C1/C2 set filter rolloff; Digital Common isolates digital return currents |
| 17–20 | ±VCC2 | Output stage power rails - electrically isolated from VCC1; requires separate decoupling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO122 | Higher 4000Vrms isolation rating; 20kHz BW; laser-trimmed 0.005% max nonlinearity | Targeted at precision medical instrumentation requiring tighter gain stability and lower noise | Select ISO122 only when >2500Vrms working voltage or sub-10ppm/°C gain drift is mandatory |
| AMC1301 | Replaces capacitive barrier with reinforced SiO₂ isolation; 7kVrms rating; 20MHz signal bandwidth | Designed for modern current sensing in inverters with integrated delta-sigma modulation and digital output | Choose AMC1301 for new designs needing SPI interface, higher bandwidth, or RoHS-compliant monolithic construction |
Compared with ISO122 and AMC1301, the ISO102 offers proven hermetic reliability at 1500Vrms with minimal external components, making it optimal for legacy industrial retrofits and environments where long-term parametric stability outweighs digital integration needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous isolation voltage rating for the ISO102?
The ISO102 is rated for 1500Vrms continuous isolation at 60Hz and 2121VDC. This rating is verified by 100% production testing at 4000Vrms for 10 seconds. The isolation barrier consists of two 3pF high-voltage ceramic capacitors with >10kV dielectric strength, ensuring reliable operation in industrial settings where sustained high-voltage differentials exist between input and output grounds.
Does the ISO102 require external components to function as an isolation amplifier?
No, the ISO102 is a complete isolation solution requiring no external components for basic operation. All functional blocks - including input VCO, differential ceramic barrier, PLL decoder, and second-order output filter - are integrated into the 24-pin ceramic DIP. Only local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitors on each supply rail are recommended per the datasheet to ensure stable operation and optimal IMR performance.
How does the ISO102 achieve high isolation-mode rejection (IMR) at 60Hz?
The ISO102 achieves ≥115dB IMR at 60Hz through its differential capacitive barrier architecture and internal synchronous demodulation. The two matched 3pF ceramic capacitors reject common-mode barrier voltage changes, while the PLL-based decoding rejects amplitude-modulated interference. Its IMR degrades predictably with frequency (e.g., 80dB at 100kHz), allowing designers to select appropriate bandwidth-limiting capacitors (C1/C2) for target noise environments.
Can the ISO102 be used with supply voltages other than ±15V?
Yes, the ISO102 operates over a supply range of ±10V to ±20V for both VCC1 and VCC2. Performance specifications (gain error, offset, bandwidth) are guaranteed at ±15V, but functional operation is maintained across the full range. Quiescent current varies only modestly - e.g., +VCC1 draws +11 to +15mA and –VCC1 draws –9 to –12mA - enabling flexible power system design in multi-rail industrial equipment.
What is the purpose of the C1 and C2 pins on the ISO102?
The C1 and C2 pins connect to internal nodes of the ISO102's second-order Butterworth output filter. Adding external capacitance (C2 = 2×C1) reduces small-signal bandwidth - e.g., 100pF/200pF yields ~7kHz flat response - to improve dynamic range and reduce residual carrier ripple. With no external caps, the ISO102 delivers full 70kHz bandwidth. These pins must be shielded from high electric fields to preserve AC IMR, as specified in the layout guidelines.
