Description
The Si840x series of isolators are single-package galvanic isolation
solutions for I2C and SMBus serial port applications. These products are
based on Silicon Labs proprietary RF isolation technology and offer shorter
propagation delays, lower power consumption, smaller installed size, and
more stable operation with temperature and age versus opto couplers or
other digital isolators.
All devices in this family include hot-swap, bidirectional SDA and SCL
isolation channels with open-drain, 35 mA sink capability and operate to a
maximum frequency of 1.7 MHz. The 8-pin version (Si8400/01) supports
bidirectional SDA and SCL isolation; the Si8402 supports bidirectional SDA
and unidirectional SCL isolation, and the 16-pin version (Si8405) features
two unidirectional isolation channels to support additional system signals,
such as an interrupt or reset. All versions contain protection circuits to
guard against data errors if an unpowered device is inserted into a powered
system.
Small size, low installed cost, low power consumption, and short
propagation delays make the Si840x family the optimum solution for
isolating I2C and SMBus serial ports.

Notes:
1. The nominal output impedance of a non-I2C 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.

Notes:
1. The values in this table correspond to the nominal creepage and clearance values as detailed in “8. Package Outline:
8-Pin Narrow Body SOIC” and “10. Package Outline: 16-Pin Narrow Body SOIC”. VDE certifies the clearance and
creepage limits as 4.7 mm minimum for the NB SOIC-8 package and 4.7 mm minimum for the NB SOIC-16 package.
UL does not impose a clearance and creepage minimum for component level certifications. CSA certifies the
clearance and creepage limits as 3.9 mm minimum for the NB SOIC-8 package and 3.9 mm minimum for the NB
SOIC-16 package.
2. To determine resistance and capacitance, the Si840x, SO-16, is converted into a 2-terminal device. Pins 1–8 (1-4, SO8) are shorted together to form the first terminal and pins 9–16 (5–8, SO-8) are shorted together to form the second
terminal. The parameters are then measured between these two terminals.
3. Measured from input pin to ground.

2. Functional Description
2.1. Theory of Operation
The operation of an Si84xx 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 unidirectional Si84xx channel is
shown in Figure 5.

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 6 for more details.

Device behavior during start-up, normal operation, and shutdown is shown in Figure 7, where UVLO+ and UVLO–
are the positive-going and negative-going thresholds respectively. Refer to Table 12 to determine outputs when
power supply (VDD) is not present.
3.1. Device Startup
Outputs are held low during powerup until VDD is above the UVLO threshold for time period tSTART. Following
this, the outputs follow the states of inputs.

when VDD is below its specified operating circuits range. Both Side A and Side B each have their own under
voltage lockout monitors. Each side can enter or exit UVLO independently. For example, Side A unconditionally
enters UVLO when AVDD falls below AVDDUVLO– and exits UVLO when AVDD rises above AVDDUVLO+. Side B
operates the same as Side A with respect to its BVDD supply.

3.3. 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 9 and Table 7 on page 9 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.
3.3.1. 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 8). For more details, see "5.Errata and Design
Migration Guidelines" on page 22.
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 3, “Si8400/01/02/05
Electrical Characteristics for Bidirectional I2C Channels1,” on page 5. and Table 4, “Electrical Characteristics for
Unidirectional Non-I2C Digital Channels (Si8402/05),” on page 7
3.3.2. Pin Connections
No connect pins are not internally connected. They can be left floating, tied to VDD, or tied to GND.
3.3.3. Output Pin Termination
The nominal output impedance of an non-I2C 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 “3.3.1. Supply Bypass” above.

3.4. Input and Output Characteristics for Non-I2C Digital Channels
The Si84xx inputs and outputs for unidirectional channels are standard CMOS drivers/receivers. 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. Table 12 details powered and unpowered operation of the Si84xx’s non-I2C digital channels.

4. Typical Application Overview
4.1. I2C Background
In many applications, I2C, SMBus, and PMBus interfaces require galvanic isolation for safety or ground loop
elimination. For example, Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications typically use an I2C interface for communication
between the PoE power sourcing device (PSE), and the earth ground referenced system controller. Galvanic
isolation is required both by standard and also as a practical matter to prevent ground loops in Ethernet connected
equipment.

The physical interface consists of two wires: serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL). These wires are connected
to open collector drivers that serve as both inputs and outputs. At first glance, it appears that SDA and SCL can be
isolated simply by placing two unidirectional isolators in parallel, and in opposite directions. However, this
technique creates feedback that latches the bus line low when a logic low asserted by either master or slave. This
problem can be remedied by adding anti-latch circuits, but results in a larger and more expensive solution. The
Si840x products offer a single-chip, anti-latch solution to the problem of isolating I2C/SMBus applications and
require no external components except the I2C/SMBus pull-up resistors. In addition, they provide isolation to a
maximum of 2.5 kVRMS, support I2C clock stretching, and operate to a maximum I2C bus speed of 1.7 Mbps.
4.2. I2C Isolator Operation
Without anti-latch protection, bidirectional I2C isolators latch when an isolator output logic low propagates back
through an adjacent isolator channel creating a stable latched low condition on both sides. Anti-latch protection is
typically added to one side of the isolator to avoid this condition (the “A” side for the Si8400/01/02/05).
The following examples illustrate typical circuit configurations using the Si8400/01/02/05.

4.3. I2C Isolator Design Constraints
Table 13 lists the design constraints.
Table 13. Design Constraints
Design Constraint
Effect of Bus Pull-up Strength
and Temperature
Isolator VOL 0.8 V typical
Isolator VIL 0.6 V typical
This is normally guaranteed by the
isolator data sheet. However, if the
pull up strength is too weak, the output low voltage will fall and can get
Input/Output Logic Low Level
too close to the input low logic level.

To prevent the latch condition, the
isolator output low level must be
greater than the isolator input low
level.
Data Sheet Values
The bus output low must be less
than the isolator input low logic
level.
The isolator output low must be
less than the bus input low.
Bus VOL = 0.4 V maximum
Isolator VIL = 0.45 V minimum
If the pull up strength is too large,
the devices on the bus might not pull
the voltage below the input low
range. These have opposite temperature coefficients. Worst case is
hot temperature.
If the pull up strength is too large,
the isolator might not pull below the
Bus VIL 0.3 x VDD = 1.0 V minimum for
bus input low voltage.
VDD = 3.3 V
Si8400/01/05 Vol: –1.8 mV/C
CMOS buffer: –0.6 mV/C
Isolator VOL = 0.825 V maximum,
This provides some temperature
(0.5 mA pullup, –10 to 125 °C)
tracking, but worst case is cold temperature.
4.4. I2C Isolator Design Considerations
The first step in applying an I2C isolator is to choose which side of the bus will be connected to the isolator A side.
Ideally, it should be the side which:
1. Is compatible with the range of bus pull up specified by the manufacturer. For example, the Si8400/01/02/05
isolators are normally used with a pull up of 0.5 mA to 3 mA.
2. Has the highest input low level for devices on the bus. Some devices may specify an input low of 0.9 V and
other devices might require an input low of 0.3 x Vdd. Assuming a 3.3 V minimum power supply, the side with
an input low of 0.3 x Vdd is the better side because this side has an input low level of 1.0 V.
3. Have devices on the bus that can pull down below the isolator input low level. For example, the Si840x input
level is 0.45 V. As most CMOS devices can pull to within 0.4 V of GND this is generally not an issue.
4. Has the lowest noise. Due to the special logic levels, noise margins can be as low as 50 mV.
The Si840x isolators are not compatible with devices that have a logic low of 0.8 V. For this situation, a discrete
circuit can be used. See “AN352: Low-Cost, High-Speed I2C Isolation with Digital Isolators” for additional
information.

When using the Si840x 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
