Circuits From the Lab

USB Isolation Reference Circuits


ADI engineers have built, tested, and verified Circuits from the Lab™ reference circuits to address today's common design challenges, such as how to easily implement USB isolation in a system. Detailed circuit documentation is available which describes the circuit's function and benefit, and includes evaluation and test data. View the complete collection of Reference Circuits.
These USB isolation circuits are enabled by the industry's only single-chip USB digital isolators, ADuM4160 (5KV rms) and ADuM3160 (2.5KV rms), based on Analog Devices' iCoupler® technology which supports:
D+/D- Bidirectional Isolation
USB 2.0 Compliance
Reinforced Isolation, up to 5kV rms isolation rating

    This circuit isolates a hub as if it were a full speed peripheral device. The hub or host function requires that 2.5 W of power be available to each downstream port. Power to run the downstream side of the isolator and power the hub and ports is provided as part of the solution.

    This circuit isolates a peripheral device that already implements a USB interface. While not meeting all requirements of the USB standard, it will provide a convenient isolated USB cable solution that provides power to the peripheral as well as operation at a fixed speed.

    USB Peripheral Isolation Circuit

    CFTLs

    This circuit isolates a peripheral device that already
    supports a USB interface. Because the peripheral is
    not explicitly defined in this circuit, power to run
    the secondary side of the isolator has been provided
    as part of the solution.
