The Manchester-encoded output from the DS8102 combines pulse-density-modulated measurement values from both differential input channels with a synchronization bit stream and is transmitted over a single pin. This transmission scheme is ideal for split voltage domain applications where the DS8102 and other "hot"side components must be electrically isolated from "cold" low-voltage components such as a companion microcontroller. In this type of application, the DS8102 can be capacitively coupled to a companion microcontroller with only two connection points required (MNOUT and DGND).
