I have an H bridge, all transistors are controlled by high current integrated drivers and are fully isolated and controlled by a fast-speed optocoupler ACPL-P484.
The switching frequency of the bridge is relatively high up to 400kHz.
The isolator does not switch any large capacitances, only the parasitic capacitance of the logic input IC, PCB and Pul Up / Down resistor with a current in the order of tens of uA. Vcc 5V
I would like to replace 4 pieces of optoisolators with one piece of digital isolator, for example ISO676x.
At first glance, I do not see a problem in the change, the digital isolator seems to be faster. It is assumed that the 4 channels in one case will be even more subdued than in the four cases.
The first look may not be correct, so I ask, isn't there a problem with a similar upgrade?
