Description
The Si871x/2x isolators are pin-compatible, single-channel, drop-in
replacements for popular optocouplers with data rates up to 15 Mbps.
These devices isolate high-speed digital signals and offer performance,
reliability, and flexibility advantages not available with optocoupler
solutions. The Si871x/2x series is based on Silicon Labs' proprietary
CMOS isolation technology for low-power and high-speed operation and
are resistant to the wear-out effects found in optocouplers that degrade
performance with increasing temperature, forward current, and device
age. As a result, the Si871x/2x series offer longer service life and
dramatically higher reliability compared to optocouplers. Ordering options
include logic output with and without output enable options.

2. Application Information
2.1. Theory of Operation
The Si871x/2x are pin-compatible, single-channel, drop-in replacements for popular optocouplers with data rates
up to 15 Mbps. The operation of an Si871x/2x 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 the Si871x/2x is shown in Figure 6.

*Note: This truth table assumes VDD is powered (VDD> UVLO). If VDD is below UVLO, see
"3.3.Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)" on page 16 for more information. When VDD <
UVLO, the output state is not guaranteed. In this condition, the output level is determined
by external circuity connected to the output.

3.2. Device Startup
During startup-up, for the Si8716, Output VO is high until VDD rises above the UVLO+ threshold for a minimum time
period of tSTART. Following this, the output is low when the current flowing from anode to cathode is > IF(ON). Device
startup, normal operation, and shutdown behavior for the Si8716 is shown in Figure 7. Note that Figure 7 assumes
that Enable is asserted and that the outputs are operating in their normal operating condition (inverting for the
Si8716). See Table 10 for more details on the Enable function.

3.3. Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The UVLO circuit unconditionally drives VO to its default state when VDD is below the lockout threshold. Referring
to Figure 8, upon power up, the Si871x/2x is maintained in UVLO until VDD rises above VDDUV+. During power
down, the Si871x/2x enters UVLO when VDD falls below the UVLO threshold plus hysteresis (i.e., VDD < VDDUV+
– VDDHYS).

4. Applications
The following sections detail the input and output circuits necessary for proper operation of the Si871x/2x family.
4.1. Input Circuit Design
Opto coupler manufacturers typically recommend the circuits shown in Figures 9 and 10. These circuits are
specifically designed to improve opto-coupler input common-mode rejection and increase noise immunity.

Figure 10. High CMR Si871x/2x Input Circuit
The optically-coupled circuit of Figure 9 turns the LED on when the control input is high. However, internal
capacitive coupling from the LED to the power and ground conductors can momentarily force the LED into its off
state when the anode and cathode inputs are subjected to a high common-mode transient. The circuit shown in
Figure 10 addresses this issue by using a value of R1 sufficiently low to overdrive the LED, ensuring it remains on
during an input common-mode transient. Q1 shorts the LED off in the low output state, again increasing commonmode transient immunity.
Some opto coupler applications recommend reverse-biasing the LED when the control input is off to prevent
coupled noise from energizing the LED. The Si871x/2x input circuit requires less current and has twice the off-state
noise margin compared to opto couplers. However, high CMR opto coupler designs that overdrive the LED (see
Figure 10) may require increasing the value of R1 to limit input current IF to its maximum rating when using the
Si871x/2x. In addition, there is no benefit in driving the Si871x/2x input diode into reverse bias when in the off state.
Consequently, opto coupler circuits using this technique should either leave the negative bias circuitry unpopulated
or modify the circuitry (e.g., add a clamp diode or current limiting resistor) to ensure that the anode pin of the
Si871x/2x is no more than –0.3 V with respect to the cathode when reverse-biased.

New designs should consider the input circuit configurations of Figure 11, which are more efficient than those of
Figures 9 and 10. As shown, S1 and S2 represent any suitable switch, such as a BJT or MOSFET, analog
transmission gate, processor I/O, etc. Also, note that the Si871x/2x input can be driven from the I/O port of any
MCU or FPGA capable of sourcing a minimum of 6 mA (see Figure 11B). Additionally, note that the Si871x/2x
propagation delay and output drive do not significantly change for values of IF between IF(MIN) and IF(MAX).

4.2. Output Circuit Design and Power Supply Connections
GND can be biased at, above, or below ground as long as the voltage on VDD with respect to GND is a maximum
of 5.5 V. VDD decoupling capacitors should be placed as close to the package pins as possible. The optimum
values for these capacitors depend on load current and the distance between the chip and its power source. It is
recommended that 0.1 and 1 µF bypass capacitors be used to reduce high-frequency noise and maximize
performance. Opto replacement applications should limit their supply voltages to 5.5 V or less.
