SPI Isolator 2 click

‍SPI Isolator 2 Click is a compact add-on board that contains a digital isolator optimized for a serial peripheral interface. This board features the ISO7741, a high-performance quad-channel digital isolator with a double capacitive silicon dioxide insulation barrier capable of galvanic isolation up to 5000Vrms from Texas Instruments. The ISO7741 provides high electromagnetic immunity and low emissions at low power consumption while isolating digital I/Os. It has three forward and one reverse-direction channel with enable pins that can be used to put the respective outputs in Hi-Z state. This Click board™ provides a simple, compact solution for isolated SPI data communication.

Click library

• Author : Jelena Milosavljevic
• Date : Jul 2021.
• Type : SPI type

Software Support

We provide a library for the SPIIsolator2 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

‍This library contains API for SPIIsolator2 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

• spiisolator2_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

  void spiisolator2_cfg_setup ( spiisolator2_cfg_t *cfg );

• spiisolator2_init Initialization function.

  err_t spiisolator2_init ( spiisolator2_t *ctx, spiisolator2_cfg_t *cfg );

Example key functions :

• spiisolator2_output_enable The function enable or disable output ( isolation ) of the ISO7741DWR High-Speed, Robust-EMC Reinforced and Basic Quad-Channel Digital Isolators on SPI Isolator 2 click board.

  void spiisolator2_output_enable( spiisolator2_t *ctx, uint8_t en_out );

• spiisolator2_set_cmd The function sends the desired command to the ISO7741DWR High-Speed, Robust-EMC Reinforced and Basic Quad-Channel Digital Isolators on SPI Isolator 2 click board.

  void spiisolator2_set_cmd ( spiisolator2_t *ctx, uint8_t cmd );

• spiisolator2_write_byte The function writes the byte of data to the targeted 8-bit register address of the ISO7741DWR High-Speed, Robust-EMC Reinforcedand Basic Quad-Channel Digital Isolators on SPI Isolator 2 click board.

  void spiisolator2_write_byte ( spiisolator2_t *ctx, uint8_t reg, uint8_t tx_data );

Example Description

‍This is an example that demonstrates the use of the SPI Isolator 2 click board.

This board uses the ISO7741 which provides high electromagnetic immunity and low emissions at low power consumption while isolating digital I/Os. In this example, we write and then read data from the connected EEPROM 5 click to the SPI Isolator 2 click board.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

‍Initializes SPI, set RST and CS pin as outputs, begins to write log, set write/read memory address, enable output.

void application_init ( void ) 
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;                         
    spiisolator2_cfg_t spiisolator2_cfg;       
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
 
    // Click initialization.
    spiisolator2_cfg_setup( &spiisolator2_cfg );
    SPIISOLATOR2_MAP_MIKROBUS( spiisolator2_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( SPI_MASTER_ERROR == spiisolator2_init( &spiisolator2, &spiisolator2_cfg ) ) 
    {        
        log_error( &logger, " Application Init Error. \r\n" );
        log_info( &logger, " Please, run program again... \r\n" );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
 
    spiisolator2_output_enable( &spiisolator2, SPIISOLATOR2_OUT_ENABLE );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
}

Application Task

‍Enables write to EEPROM, then writes the specified text message, and reads it back.

All data is being displayed on the USB UART where you can track the program flow.

void application_task ( void ) 
{
    spiisolator2_set_cmd( &spiisolator2, SPIISOLATOR2_EEPROM5_CMD_WREN );
    Delay_ms ( 10 );
 
    spiisolator2_multi_write( &spiisolator2, 
                              ( ( uint32_t ) SPIISOLATOR2_EEPROM5_CMD_WRITE << 24 ) | memory_address, 4, demo_data, 7 );
    log_printf( &logger," Write data : %s\r\n", demo_data );
    log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - -\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 100 );
 
    spiisolator2_multi_read( &spiisolator2, 
                             ( ( uint32_t ) SPIISOLATOR2_EEPROM5_CMD_READ << 24 ) | memory_address, 4, read_data, 7 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    
    log_printf( &logger, " Read data  : %s\r\n", read_data );
    log_printf( &logger, "---------------------\r\n" );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
    Delay_ms ( 1000 );
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.SPIIsolator2

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
