Analog Devices recently has the ADUM4165/4166 USB2 high-speed isolators available. In 2021 Texas Instruments (TI) announced their ISOUSB211 product to be available in Q3 2022.

One of the integrated circuit (IC) for USB2 Isolation with support for high speed and used in many USB Isolation products (including Uptone ISO REGEN) was Silanna ICE08USB which was introduced in 2015 but discontinued in 2019.

Most of the earlier USB2 isolators provided by chip makers like Analog Devices only work in USB2 low speed (1.5Mbps) and full speed (12Mbps) modes, hence they are not suitable for USB audio use. High-res music in PCM and DSD requires USB2 to operate in 480Mbps high speed mode. From my experience, using industrial-grade USB isolator can improve the sound further even when the DAC has USB Ground galvanic isolation. Some high-end DACs already have USB Ground galvanic isolation inside the USB receiver. In audio use, it’s to isolate the noisy DC ground of the computer power supply. In industrial use, USB isolation was meant to protect computers from dangerous voltages in rugged environment, for example, PC-based oscilloscope used in automotive. Intona has the newer versions in metal case which can even improve Taiko Audio SGM Extreme USB Audio output. One person tried it with USB Audio signal path and discovered it indeed improves the sound significantly. The original Intona USB Isolator from Germany in crude plastic case was designed for industrial use. Budget USB isolators like Topping HS01 only provide Ground isolation unlike the industrial ones which provide isolation for ground, power and signal lines. The isolation voltage ranges between 1kV to 5kV. Most USB isolators were designed for rugged industrial use, but it works for audio as well. USB regen/reclocker PCIe cards have its own sound signature and the 5V DC supply really matters. USB2 Redriver has little improvement to SQ. I have evaluated USB2 Redriver and USB regen/reclocker cards. This product is designed to be in full compliance with CE requirements.This is the first time I evaluate USB2 high-speed isolators. If external power supply is used, available downstream current is limited by external supply capacity No external power required, 6mA min, up to 500mA from host when self-powered depending on downstream load USB 2.0 Full/Low-speedUSB 3.1 CompatibleUSB 1.1 CompatibleĢ.5 x 2.5 x 1 inches2.5 x 3.5 x 1 inches with mountsĢ84.2 grams (in enclosure)56.2 grams (-OEM version) The module’s enclosure is 2.5″ x 3.5″ x 1″. The USB-ISOLATOR is designed to be used in rugged industrial environments but is small enough to fit nicely onto any desk or testing station. The USB-ISOLATOR uses a smart switch DC jack to automatically switch between upstream power or external power upon insertion of the power supply plug. External power can be used if the downstream port needs more current with our optional medical grade external isolated supply. It can be powered from the USB upstream host port providing up to 380mA of isolated power to the downstream port. The USB-ISOLATOR has an LED that indicates the presence of power from the upstream port. Under UL60590-1 the card design meets or exceeds the DC-DC isolator specification.
This isolation component has an over 50 year isolation lifespan even if the isolation voltage potential is in excess of 846 volts AC. Our circuit uses a chip-level high-frequency DC-DC isolator which is rated at 5000Vrms for 1 minute under UL 1577. These gaps are rated under IPC-2221B at 1500V (upstream to downstream). The circuit is isolated with a ≥ 300mil gap between all signal and plane layers (upstream to downstream port). Our Tru-Iso™ products are designed under IPC-2221B, UL1577, and UL60950-1.

See the Isolation specification in user manual for full details. Robust EFT, Lightning, and ESD protection at ☒0kV on all signal pins (air and contact). Being able to operate at industrial grade temperatures, the USB-ISOLATOR offers its functionality to a wider range of user applications that many competitors’ isolators can’t provide.Ĭareful attention has been paid to isolation design, including extensive keep-out zones and hand-routed circuit paths, as well as component and material selection. This product utilizes a high-performance, low-power USB 2.0 isolator with an operating temperature rated for industrial grade environments.
