Description
Silicon Lab's family of digital isolators are CMOS devices that employ
an RF coupler to transmit digital information across an isolation
barrier. Very high speed operation at low power levels is achieved.
These parts are available in a 16-pin wide body SOIC package. Three
speed grade options (1, 10, 100 Mbps) are available and achieve
typical propagation delay of less than 10 ns.

Notes:
1.
t
PHL
propagation delay is measured from the 50% level of the falling edge of the V
Ix
signal to the 50% level of the falling
edge of the V
Ox
signal. t
PLH
propagation delay is measured from the 50% level of the rising edge of the V
Ix
signal to the
50% level of the rising edge of the V
Ox
signal.
2.
t
PSK
is the magnitude of the worst-case difference in t
PHL
or t
PLH
that is measured between units at the same operating
temperature, supply voltages, and output load within the recommended operating conditions.
3.
Codirectional channel-to-channel matching is the absolute value of the difference in propagation delays between any
two channels with inputs on the same side of the isolation barrier. Opposing-directional channel-to-channel matching is
the absolute value of the difference in propagation delays between any two channels with inputs on opposing sides of
the isolation barrier.
4.
CM
H
is the maximum common-mode voltage slew rate that can be sustained while maintaining V
O
> 0.8 V
DD2
. CM
L
is
the maximum common-mode voltage slew rate that can be sustained while maintaining V
O
< 0.8 V. The common-mode
voltage slew rates apply to both rising and falling common-mode voltage edges. The transient magnitude is the range
over which the common mode is slewed.
5.
Start-up time is the time period from the application of power to valid data at the output.
