Data Sheet
Low-Power, Single and Dual-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 advan-
tages when compared to legacy isolation technologies. The operating parameters of
these products remain 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 worst-case propaga-
tion delays of less than 10 ns. Ordering options include a choice of isolation ratings (up
to 5 kV) and a selectable fail-safe operating mode to control the default output state dur-
ing power loss. All products are safety certified by UL, CSA, and VDE, and products in
wide-body packages support reinforced insulation withstanding up to 5 kVRMS.
