Si860x Data Sheet
Bidirectional I
2
C Isolators with Unidirectional Digital Channels
The Si860x series of isolators are single-package galvanic isolation solutions for I
2
C and
SMBus serial port applications. These products are based on Silicon Labs proprietary
RF isolation technology and offer shorter propagation delays, lower power consumption,
smaller installed size, and more stable operation with temperature and age versus opto
couplers or other digital isolators.
All devices in this family include hot-swap, bidirectional SDA and/or SCL isolation chan-
nels with open-drain, 35 mA sink capability that operate to a maximum frequency of 1.7
MHz. The 8-pin version (Si8600) supports bidirectional SDA and SCL isolation; the
Si8602 supports bidirectional SDA and unidirectional SCL isolation, and the 16-pin ver-
sions (Si8605, Si8606) feature two unidirectional isolation channels to support additional
system signals, such as interrupts or resets. All versions contain protection circuits to
guard against data errors when an unpowered device is inserted into a powered system.
Small size, low installed cost, low power consumption, and short propagation delays
make the Si860x family the optimum solution for isolating I
2
C and SMBus serial ports.
Automotive Grade is available for certain part numbers. These products are built using
automotive-specific flows at all steps in the manufacturing process to ensure the robust-
ness and low defectivity required for automotive applications.

Automotive Grade OPNs
Automotive-grade devices are built using automotive-specific flows at all steps in the manufacturing process to ensure robustness and
low defectivity. These devices are supported with AIAG-compliant Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation, and fea-
ture International Material Data System (IMDS) and China Automotive Material Data System (CAMDS) listing. Qualifications are compli-
ant with AEC-Q100, and a zero-defect methodology is maintained throughout definition, design, evaluation, qualification, and mass pro-
duction steps.
