Single-Port Inline USB Isolator For Industrial And Medical Applications

Posted by Industry News on

SeaISO ISO-1 single-port inline USB isolator by Sealevel Systems, IncThe SeaISO ISO-1 single-port, inline USB isolator by Sealevel Systems, Inc. offers an easy-to-use method of protecting host and field equipment from damaging transients and surges commonly found in commercial, industrial and medical environments. The ISO-1 is UL Recognized, in accordance with EN60601-1 3rd Edition, and protects both the data and power lines with 4 kV of medical-grade isolation between the host control system and connected USB equipment.

The ISO-1 is USB bus powered, eliminating the need for external power. The efficient DC/DC design allows energy transfer over the isolation barrier. The isolator provides up to 300 mA to a downstream USB device when connected to a standard 500 mA USB port. Additionally, the isolator can provide a full 500 mA to a downstream device when connected to a USB port capable of sourcing 1 A, or greater. Convenient high-retention USB connectors prevent accidental cable disconnections.

Supported in Microsoft Windows, Linux, and other USB aware operating systems, the ISO-1 requires no separate drivers and is easy to install. Simply plug the isolator into an available USB port with the included cable, and it is automatically recognized as a generic USB hub device.

The ISO-1 is a USB 2.0 compatible device connecting to the host over a high-speed link and features full-speed (12 Mbps) data rates between the downstream USB device. The ISO-1 is housed in a rugged plastic enclosure with mounting ears that simplify mounting to walls, under counters, or inside panels.

USB Complete - The Developer's Guide by Jan Axelson

Now in its Fifth Edition, USB Complete bridges the gap between the technical specifications and the real world of designing and programming devices that connect over the Universal Serial Bus (USB). Learn how to select a USB speed, device class, and hardware for a design; communicate with devices using Visual C#; use standard host drivers to access devices, including devices that perform vendor-defined tasks; save power with USB's built-in power-conserving protocols; and create robust designs using testing and debugging tools. This fully revised edition also covers SuperSpeed and SuperSpeedPlus (USB 3.1), wireless options, and USB OTG and embedded hosts.
