Si8630/31/35 Data Sheet
Low-Power Triple-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 advantag-
es over legacy isolation technologies. The operating parameters of these products re-
main 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 (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 are safety certified by UL, CSA, VDE, and CQC, and products in wide-
body packages support reinforced insulation withstanding up to 5 kV
RMS

System Overview
2. System Overview
2.1 Theory of Operation
The operation of an Si863x 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 Si863x channel is shown in the figure below.
Figure 2.1. Simplified Channel Diagram
A channel consists of an RF Transmitter and RF Receiver separated by a semiconductor-based isolation barrier. Referring to the trans-
mitter, input A modulates the carrier provided by an RF oscillator using on/off keying. The Receiver contains a demodulator that de-
codes 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 improved immunity
to magnetic fields. See the following figure for more details.

2.2 Eye Diagram
The figure below illustrates an eye diagram taken on an Si8630. 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 Si8630 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.

3. Device Operation
Device behavior during start-up, normal operation, and shutdown is shown in
Figure 3.1 Device Behavior during Normal Operation on
page 6,
where UVLO+ and UVLO– are the respective positive-going and negative-going thresholds. Refer to the following tables to
determine outputs when power supply (VDD) is not present and for logic conditions when enable pins are used.

Comments
Enabled, normal operation.
Undetermined Upon transition of VDDO from unpowered

as V
I
within 1 µs, if EN is in either the H or
NC state. Upon transition of VDDO from
unpowered to powered, V
O
returns to Hi-Z
within 1 µs if EN is L.
Note:
1. VDDI and VDDO are the input and output power supplies. V
I
and V
O
are the respective input and output terminals. EN is the
enable control input located on the same output side.
2. X = not applicable; H = Logic High; L = Logic Low; Hi-Z = High Impedance.
3. It is recommended that the enable inputs be connected to an external logic high or low level when the Si86xx is operating in noisy
environments.
4. No Connect (NC) replaces EN1 on Si8630/35. No Connect replaces EN2 on the Si8635. No Connects are not internally connec-
ted and can be left floating, tied to VDD, or tied to GND.
5. “Powered” state (P) is defined as 2.5 V < VDD < 5.5 V.
6. “Unpowered” state (UP) is defined as VDD = 0 V.
7. Note that an I/O can power the die for a given side through an internal diode if its source has adequate current.
8. When using the enable pin (EN) function, the output pin state is driven into a high-impedance state when the EN pin is disabled
(EN = 0).
9. See Ordering Guide for details. This is the selectable fail-safe operating mode (ordering option). Some devices have default out-
put state = H, and some have default output state = L, depending on the ordering part number (OPN). For default high devices,
the data channels have pull-ups on inputs/outputs. For default low devices, the data channels have pull-downs on inputs/outputs.
