Data Sheet
Low-Power, Single and Dual-Channel Digital Isolators
Silicon Lab's family of ultra-low-power digital isolators are CMOS devices offering sub-
stantial data rate, propagation delay, power, size, reliability, and external BOM advan-
tages when compared to legacy isolation technologies. The operating parameters of
these products remain stable across wide temperature ranges and throughout device
service life for ease of design and highly uniform performance. All device versions have
Schmitt trigger inputs for high noise immunity and only require V
DD
bypass capacitors.
Data rates up to 150 Mbps are supported, and all devices achieve worst-case propaga-
tion delays of less than 10 ns. Ordering options include a choice of isolation ratings (up
to 5 kV) and a selectable fail-safe operating mode to control the default output state dur-
ing power loss. All products are safety certified by UL, CSA, and VDE, and products in
wide-body packages support reinforced insulation withstanding up to 5 kV
RMS
.

3.1 Theory of Operation
The operation of an Si84xx channel is analogous to that of an opto coupler, except an RF carrier is modulated instead of light. This
simple architecture provides a robust isolated data path and requires no special considerations or initialization at start-up. A simplified
block diagram for a single Si84xx channel is shown in the figure below.

Figure 3.1. Simplified Channel Diagram
A channel consists of an RF Transmitter and RF Receiver separated by a semiconductor-based isolation barrier. Referring to the
Transmitter, input A modulates the carrier provided by an RF oscillator using on/off keying. The Receiver contains a demodulator that
decodes the input state according to its RF energy content and applies the result to output B via the output driver. This RF on/off keying
scheme is superior to pulse code schemes as it provides best-in-class noise immunity, low power consumption, and better immunity to
magnetic fields. See the figure below for more details.

3.2 Eye Diagram
The figure below illustrates an eye-diagram taken on an Si8422. For the data source, the test used an Anritsu (MP1763C) Pulse Pattern
Generator set to 1000 ns/div. The output of the generator's clock and data from an Si8422 were captured on an oscilloscope. The re-
sults illustrate that data integrity was maintained even at the high data rate of 150 Mbps. The results also show that 2 ns pulse width
distortion and 350 ps peak jitter were exhibited.
