My USB 2.0 isolation board is working. The Texas Instruments chip ISOUSB211 works as advertised, it really is the first USB 2.0 high-speed (480 Mbps) galvanic isolation chip on the open market. I'll release all the design files tomorrow. #electronics #usb

USB isolator board. The board is symmetrically laid out, left is the host side, right is the device side, with an isolation barrier in between. Across the barrier is a Texas Instruments ISOUSB211 isolated USB repeater chip, and also a DCDC power converter module.
Benchmark result using a USB flash drive. The read speed is 45 MiB/s, or 360 Mbps, this speed implies the isolator is working properly in high-speed USB mode.

TI ISOUSB211 development board design is now public. This TI chip is the first ASIC capable of doing USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbps, not 12 Mbps) galvanic isolation on the open market. As always, #Lain must be loved. notabug.org/niconiconi/isousb2 #electronics #usb

Back side of the PCB, there are only a few resistors and capacitors on this side. On the silkscreen there's a sketch image of Lain, with the words "Let's all love Lain"
