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, 150 Mbps) are available and achieve
typical propagation delay of less than 10 ns.
