Gain
Common Mode Transient Immunity, CMTI, also known as Com-
mon Mode Rejection
Gain is defined as the slope of the best-fit line of differen-
tial output voltage (V + – V –) vs. differential input
CMTI is tested by applying an exponentially rising/falling
voltage step on pin 4 (GND±) with respect to pin ꢁ (GND2).
The rise time of the test waveform is set to approximately
ꢁ0 ns. The amplitude of the step is adjusted until the dif-

Nonlinearity is defined as half of the peak-to-peak output

mV deviation from the average output voltage for more
than ±µs. The ACPL-C79B/C79A/C790 will continue to
function if more than ±0 kV/μs common mode slopes are
applied, as long as the breakdown voltage limitations are
observed.
