Remote or Isolated Systems
Figure 16 shows a floating system that sends data to a
grounded host system. The floating circuitry is isolated by
two optoisolators and powered by a simple capacitor
diode charge pump. The system has very low power
requirements because the LTC1096 shuts down between

conversions and the optoisolators draw power only when
data is being transferred. The system consumes only
50 A at a sample rate of 10Hz (1ms on-time and 99ms off-
time). This is easily within the current supplied by the
charge pump running at 5MHz. If a truly isolated system
is required, the system’s low power simplifies generating
an isolated supply or powering the system from a battery.
