Si864x Data Sheet
Low-Power Quad-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 over 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 VDD bypass capacitors.
Data rates up to 150 Mbps are supported, and all devices achieve propagation delays of
less than 10 ns. Enable inputs provide a single point control for enabling and disabling
output drive. Ordering options include a choice of isolation ratings (1.0, 2.5, 3.75 and 5
kV) and a selectable fail-safe operating mode to control the default output state during
power loss. All products >1 kV are safety certified by UL, CSA, VDE, and CQC, and
products in wide-body packages support reinforced insulation withstanding up to 5
kV
RMS
.
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.

1. Ordering Guide
Industrial and Automotive Grade OPNs
Industrial-grade devices (part numbers having an “-I” in their suffix) are built using well-controlled, high-quality manufacturing flows to
ensure robustness and reliability. Qualifications are compliant with JEDEC, and defect reduction methodologies are used throughout
definition, design, evaluation, qualification, and mass production steps.
Automotive-grade devices (part numbers having an “-A” in their suffix) are built using automotive-specific flows at all steps in the manu-
facturing process to ensure robustness and low defectivity. These devices are supported with AIAG-compliant Production Part Approval
Process (PPAP) documentation, and feature International Material Data System (IMDS) and China Automotive Material Data System
(CAMDS) listing. Qualifications are compliant with AEC-Q100, and a zero-defect methodology is maintained throughout definition, de-
sign, evaluation, qualification, and mass production steps.

Package
Note:
1. All packages are RoHS-compliant with peak reflow temperatures of 260 °C according to the JEDEC industry standard classifica-
tions and peak solder temperatures.
2. “Si” and “SI” are used interchangeably.
3. An "R" at the end of the part number denotes tape and reel packaging option.
4. The package designated IS2 has a design that eliminates tie bars, thus allowing for extra creepage distance while maintaining
standard WB SOIC-16 package dimensions and land pattern.
5. Temperature range is –40 to 125 °C.
6. Automotive-Grade devices (with an "–A" suffix) are identical in construction materials, topside marking, and electrical parameters
to their Industrial-Grade (with an "–I" suffix) version counterparts. Automotive-Grade products are produced utilizing full automo-
tive process flows and additional statistical process controls throughout the manufacturing flow. The Automotive-Grade part num-
ber is included on shipping labels.
7. In the top markings of each device, the Manufacturing Code represented by either “RTTTTT” or “TTTTTT” contains as its first
character a letter in the range N through Z to indicate Automotive-Grade.
