Digital isolators are a form of opto-isolator, which are a type of electrical insulation between two interconnected circuits. Digital isolators use optical components, such as optical fibers or integrated optics. An opto-isolator can provide total isolation between two circuits, or between two sections of a circuit, blocking all electrical conduction while still allowing signals or power to pass through. This makes them especially useful in situations where safety, reliability and data integrity is paramount, such as medical instruments and manufacturing equipment. Digital isolators are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and configurations, and can be adapted for specific applications.

SI8440-A-IS application field and working principle:

The Silicon Labs SI8440-A-IS Digital Isolator is a single-channel isolator that uses high-efficiency optics to provide galvanic isolation of up to 10 kV/ms in a compact package. It is designed to provide signal isolation between two pieces of electrical equipment. The SI8440-A-IS isolator is ideal for use in industrial control systems, medical instrumentation, automotive systems, and other applications where reliable and secure communication is critical. It is also suitable for applications where precise signal integrity is required.

The SI8440-A-IS isolator is made up of a dual-channel photovoltaic optocoupler circuit. The optocouplers detect the input signal on one side of the isolation barrier and transfer it to the output side of the barrier, where the signal is amplified and then sent to its destination. The two optocouplers are separated by an isolation barrier, which is a highly efficient layer that blocks the transmission of electrical signals. This ensures that electrical noise, current surges, or inductively coupled noise are not transmitted between the two sides of the isolation barrier. As a result, the SI8440-A-IS isolator provides excellent signal integrity and superior noise immunity, while providing a strong level of electrical isolation.

The SI8440-A-IS isolator is also designed to consume low power. The optocouplers are powered by the output voltage on channel 1 and will draw no more than 10 μA from the output. This allows the isolator to operate with a supply voltage as low as 2.7V, making it suitable for low-power applications. Additionally, the optocouplers have an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, making them suitable for use in extreme environments.

The SI8440-A-IS isolator is available in a variety of packages, including a 5-pin SOT-23, as well as an 8-pin SOIC and an 8-pin DIP. It is also available in a number of different configurations, including single-channel, dual-channel, and four-channel isolators. It is suitable for use in a variety of different applications, including industrial control systems, medical instrumentation, automotive systems, and other applications where reliable and secure communication is critical.
