Ⅱ. Working principle of SN6505BDBVR

1.Input terminal:The input terminal of SN6505BDBVR receives the signal or power from the external circuit. This can be a signal from a sensor, controller, power supply, or other source.
2.Output terminal:The output terminal receives the signal or power from the isolation transformer and outputs it to the external circuit for subsequent processing or control.
3.Electrical isolation:One of the main functions of the SN6505BDBVR is to provide electrical isolation. It achieves electrical isolation through an internal isolation transformer, which isolates the input and output ends, thereby preventing current or signals from being transmitted through the electrical connection. This electrical isolation effectively isolates different voltage levels or electrical environments, ensuring safety and signal integrity.
4.Isolation transformer:The chip contains an isolation transformer, which is a key part to achieve electrical isolation. An isolation transformer has two separate coils connected to the input and output. When a signal or power is applied to the input, the isolation transformer transmits it to the output, but not through a direct electrical connection.
5.Drive circuit:SN6505BDBVR usually also includes a drive circuit to control the work of the isolation transformer. This driver circuit adjusts the operation of the transformer according to the requirements of the input signal to ensure that the output gets the correct signal or power.
