EVAL-CN0159-EB1Z, Universal Serial Bus (USB) Cable Isolator Circuit Evaluation Board based on ADuM4160

EVAL-CN0159-EB1Z, Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable isolator circuit evaluation board. This board is used to evaluate the CN0159 circuit. The universal serial bus (USB) is rapidly becoming the standard interface for most PC peripherals. It is displacing RS-232 and the parallel printer port because of superior speed flexibility and support of device hot swap. There has been a strong desire on the part of industrial and medical equipment manufacturers to use the bus as well, but adoption has been slow because there has not been a good way to provide the isolation required for connections to machines that control dangerous voltages or low leakage defibrillation proof connections in medical applications
