### Core Electronic Characteristics
#### 1. Galvanic Isolation
This part uses high-frequency transformers or capacitive coupling internally to transfer data across an insulation barrier. This protects sensitive low-voltage microcontrollers (MCUs) from high-voltage transients on the field side.
#### 2. Signal Integrity
The "25" in the part number often refers to the **25 Mbps** maximum frequency. It is optimized for:
* Low propagation delay.
* Low pulse-width distortion.
* High common-mode transient immunity (CMTI).
#### 3. Power Consumption
Designed for low power draw, making it suitable for field-powered sensors or battery-operated industrial equipment.
