Description
Silicon Lab's family of ultra-low-power digital isolators are CMOS
devices offering substantial data rate, propagation delay, power, size,
reliability, and external BOM advantages when compared to legacy
isolation technologies. The operating parameters of these products
remain stable across wide temperature ranges throughout their
service life. For ease of design, only VDD bypass capacitors are
required.
Data rates up to 150 Mbps are supported, and all devices achieve
worst-case propagation delays of less than 10 ns. All products are
safety certified by UL, CSA, and VDE and support withstand voltages
of up to 2.5 kVrms. These devices are available in a 16-pin narrowbody SOIC package.

Notes:
1. The nominal output impedance of an isolator driver channel is approximately 85 , ±40%, which is a combination of
the value of the on-chip series termination resistor and channel resistance of the output driver FET. When driving loads
where transmission line effects will be a factor, output pins should be appropriately terminated with controlled
impedance PCB traces.
2. tPSK(P-P) is the magnitude of the difference in propagation delay times measured between different units operating at
the same supply voltages, load, and ambient temperature.
3. Start-up time is the time period from the application of power to valid data at the output.

Notes:
1. The nominal output impedance of an isolator driver channel is approximately 85 , ±40%, which is a combination of the
value of the on-chip series termination resistor and channel resistance of the output driver FET. When driving loads
where transmission line effects will be a factor, output pins should be appropriately terminated with controlled
impedance PCB traces.
2. tPSK(P-P) is the magnitude of the difference in propagation delay times measured between different units operating at
the same supply voltages, load, and ambient temperature.
3. Start-up time is the time period from the application of power to valid data at the output.

2. Functional Description
2.1. Theory of Operation
The operation of an Si846x 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 Si846x channel is shown in
Figure 3.

A channel consists of an RF Transmitter and RF Receiver separated by a semiconductor-based isolation barrier.
Referring to the Transmitter, input A modulates the carrier provided by an RF oscillator using on/off keying. The
Receiver contains a demodulator that decodes 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 better immunity to magnetic fields. See
Figure 4 for more details.

captured on an oscilloscope. The results 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 250 ps peak jitter were exhibited.

2.4. Layout Recommendations
To ensure safety in the end user application, high voltage circuits (i.e., circuits with >30 VAC) must be physically
separated from the safety extra-low voltage circuits (SELV is a circuit with <30 VAC) by a certain distance
(creepage/clearance). If a component, such as a digital isolator, straddles this isolation barrier, it must meet those
creepage/clearance requirements and also provide a sufficiently large high-voltage breakdown protection rating
(commonly referred to as working voltage protection). Table 6 on page 16 and Table 7 on page 17 detail the
working voltage and creepage/clearance capabilities of the Si84xx. These tables also detail the component
standards (UL1577, IEC60747, CSA 5A), which are readily accepted by certification bodies to provide proof for
end-system specifications requirements. Refer to the end-system specification (61010-1, 60950-1, etc.)
requirements before starting any design that uses a digital isolator.

The following sections detail the recommended bypass and decoupling components necessary to ensure robust
overall performance and reliability for systems using the Si84xx digital isolators.
2.4.1. Supply Bypass
Digital integrated circuit components typically require 0.1 µF (100 nF) bypass capacitors when used in electrically
quiet environments. However, digital isolators are commonly used in hazardous environments with excessively
noisy power supplies. To counteract these harsh conditions, it is recommended that an additional 1 µF bypass
capacitor be added between VDD and GND on both sides of the package. The capacitors should be placed as
close as possible to the package to minimize stray inductance. If the system is excessively noisy, it is
recommended that the designer add 50 to 100  resistors in series with the VDD supply voltage source and 50 to
300  resistors in series with the digital inputs/outputs (see Figure 6). For more details, see "3. Errata and Design
Migration Guidelines" on page 27.
All components upstream or downstream of the isolator should be properly decoupled as well. If these components
are not properly decoupled, their supply noise can couple to the isolator inputs and outputs, potentially causing
damage if spikes exceed the maximum ratings of the isolator (6 V). In this case, the 50 to 300  resistors protect
the isolator's inputs/outputs (note that permanent device damage may occur if the absolute maximum ratings are
exceeded). Functional operation should be restricted to the conditions specified in Table 1, “Recommended
Operating Conditions,” on page 4.
2.4.2. Pin Connections
No connect pins are not internally connected. They can be left floating, tied to VDD, or tied to GND.
2.4.3. Output Pin Termination
The nominal output impedance of an isolator driver channel is approximately 85 , ±40%, which is a combination
of the value of the on-chip series termination resistor and channel resistance of the output driver FET. When driving
loads where transmission line effects will be a factor, output pins should be appropriately terminated with controlled
impedance PCB traces. The series termination resistor values should be scaled appropriately while keeping in
mind the recommendations described in “2.4.1. Supply Bypass” above.

3. Errata and Design Migration Guidelines
When using the new Si846x products, or when migrating from Silicon Labs' legacy isolators, designers must
consider and adhere to the following requirements.
3.1. Power Supply Bypass Capacitors (Revision A and Revision B)
When using the Si846x isolators with power supplies > 4.5 V, sufficient VDD bypass capacitors must be present on
both the VDD1 and VDD2 pins to ensure the VDD rise time is less than 0.5 V/µs (which is > 9 µs for a > 4.5 V
supply). Although rise time is power supply dependent, > 1 µF capacitors are required on both power supply pins
(VDD1, VDD2) of the isolator device.

For recommendations on resolving this issue, see "2.4.1. Supply Bypass" on page 23. Additionally, refer to "5.
Ordering Guide" on page 29 for current ordering information.
3.2. Latch Up Immunity (Revision A Only)
Latch up immunity generally exceeds ± 200 mA per pin. Exceptions: Certain pins provide < 100 mA of latch-up
immunity. To increase latch-up immunity on these pins, 100  of equivalent resistance must be included in series
with all of the pins listed in Table 13. The 100  equivalent resistance can be comprised of the source driver's
output resistance and a series termination resistor.
3.2.1. Resolution
This issue has been corrected with Revision B of the device. Refer to "5. Ordering Guide" on page 29 for more
information.
