ISO1540 uses a silicon dioxide barrier that separates the logic input and output buffers. Bidirectional isolators based on TI's Capacitive Isolation technology have many advantages over opto-couplers (performance, size, power consumption etc.). When used together with isolated power supplies, they block high voltages, isolate grounds, and prevent interference from from noise currents.
