What this isolator does on the bus
It is rated for CAN, RS-232, and RS-485 bus protocols.
The 85 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity keeps data intact when large voltage transients slam across the barrier.
The wide-body SOIC gives the creepage distance needed to maintain the 5000 Vrms rating across the PCB — a narrower package would derate the isolation voltage. No isolated power on the secondary side; the part is a pure signal isolator, so each side needs its own supply rail.
