Description
The Si87xx isolators are pin-compatible, one-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 Si87xx 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 Si87xx series offer longer service life and
dramatically higher reliability compared to optocouplers. Ordering options
include open collector output with and without integrated pull-up resistor
and output enable options.

2. Application Information
2.1. Theory of Operation
The Si87xx are pin-compatible, one-channel, drop-in replacements for popular optocouplers with data rates up to
15 Mbps. The operation of an Si87xx 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 Si87xx is shown in Figure 5.

Notes:
1. This truth table assumes VDD is powered. UVLO is typically 2.8 V.
2. Si8712 only.
3. The output voltage level is determined by the external pull-up supply.
3.2. Device Startup
Output VO is held low during power-up until VDD rises above the UVLO+ threshold for a minimum time period of
tSTART. Following this, the output is high when the current flowing from anode to cathode is > IF(ON). Device startup,
normal operation, and shutdown behavior is shown in Figure 6.

4. Applications
The following sections detail the input and output circuits necessary for proper operation of the Si87xx family.
4.1. Input Circuit Design
Opto coupler manufacturers typically recommend the circuits shown in Figures 7 and 8. These circuits are
specifically designed to improve opto-coupler input common-mode rejection and increase noise immunity.

Figure 8. High CMR Si87xx Input Circuit
The optically-coupled circuit of Figure 7 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 8 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 Si87xx 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 8) may require increasing the value of R1 to limit input current IF to its maximum rating when using the
Si87xx. In addition, there is no benefit in driving the Si87xx 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
Si87xx 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 9, which are more efficient than those of
Figures 7 and 8. 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 Si87xx input can be driven from the I/O port of any MCU
or FPGA capable of sourcing a minimum of 6 mA (see Figure 9B). Additionally, note that the Si87xx 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
The speed of the open collector circuit is dependent upon the supply, VCC, the pullup resistor, RL, and the load
modeled by CL. Figure 10 illustrates three common circuit output configurations. For VDD = 5 V operation,
RL>350 is recommended to ensure proper VOL levels. For VDD = 30 V operation, RL > 2.1 kis recommended
to ensure proper VOL levels. If the enable pin is used (see Figure 10B) and two separate supplies power VDD and
the VO pullup resistor, the enable pin should be referenced to the VDD pin because VO cannot exceed VDD by more
than 0.5 V. Figure 10C illustrates a circuit using the internal 20 k resistor.
Note that GND can be biased at, above, or below ground as long as the voltage on VDD with respect to GND is a
maximum of 30 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 30 V or less.
