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 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 (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

System Overview
2. System Overview
2.1 Theory of Operation
The operation of an Si864x 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 Si864x 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.
