The project described here is a Quad-channel digital isolator with 5000V_RMS isolation ratings per UL 1577. The board has three forward and one reverse-direction channel which makes this project ideal for isolated SPI interface between microcontroller and subnode unit. The circuit provides isolation between the main SPI unit (microcontroller) and the SPI slave. It has high electromagnetic immunity, reduces noise, and high voltage traveling to the main unit. All the outputs are normally high, use ENABLE pins to disable the outputs. Connecting Enable 1 and Enable 2 pins to GND respective sides puts all outputs LOW and all outputs are disabled. If the input power or signal is lost then the output goes high. Level translation range: 2.25V to 5.5V.

The ISO7741 device is a high-performance, quad-channel digital isolator with 5000 VRMS isolation ratings per UL 1577. This family includes devices with reinforced insulation ratings according to VDE, CSA, TUV, and CQC. The ISO7741B device is designed for applications that require basic insulation ratings only. The ISO7741 device provides high electromagnetic immunity and low emissions at low power consumption while isolating CMOS or LVCMOS digital I/Os. Each isolation channel has a logic input and output buffer separated by a double capacitive silicon dioxide (SiO2) insulation barrier. These devices come with enable pins which can be used to put the respective outputs in high impedance for multi-master driving applications and to reduce power consumption. The ISO7741 device has three forward and one reverse-direction channel.
