EVM Setup and Operation
This section includes the setup and operation of the EVM for parameter performance evaluation. Typical
waveforms are included.
The basic setup in
has the two power supplies required to evaluate isolator performance with
3.3-V on one side and 5-V on the other. If both sides are to be evaluated at the same supply voltage, only
one power supply is required and can be used to power both sides of the EVM.
CAUTION
Note that this EVM is for operating parameter performance evaluation only and
not designed for isolation voltage testing. Any voltage applied above the 5.5-V
maximum recommended operating voltage of the digital isolators will damage
the EVM.

In
, the J3 input to the EVM is a 20 MHz pulse displayed on channel 1 in
. The J4 output
of the EVM is channel 2.
