SMD April – USB Isolator overview

Posted on Posted in Courses, Kits, Projects

You can see from looking at the block diagram above that the isolation is transformer based, it’s quite remarkable that they can fit 5 transformers in such a small package.  If you can’t attend the workshop the pcb files can be found on github and all the parts at Newark/Element14.

Newark/Element14 have an excellent video from Analog Devices embedded in their product web page for the ADUM3160/4160.  I’ve embedded it below.
