SI8642EB-B-IUR

Digital Isolators are important components used in fields requiring electrical isolation, such as digital signal isolation, data communications, power conversion and control, instrumentation, among other applications. The SI8642EB-B-IUR Isolator is an integrated circuit that combines integral functions of a digital signal isolator with a 12-bit shift register and a logic inverter. It involves bi-directional data transfer in industrial automation applications, such as motor control, digital I/O, signal amplification, PLCs, and HVAC systems.

Overview of SI8642EB-B-IUR Isolator

The SI8642EB-B-IUR Isolator is a bidirectional unidirectional (one-way) digital isolator that separates and isolates one circuit from another. It operates on a nominal voltage of 3.3V and provides nominally 8.2 kV of galvanic isolation between the input side and the output side. The input logic stages can be connected to a PLC, and the output stages of the isolator can be used to drive a relay, motor, or actuator. The digital isolator can also provide digital input/output isolation for AC signal applications, such as motor control.

Working Principle of the SI8642EB-B-IUR Isolator

The SI8642EB-B-IUR isolator works by breaking the galvanic connection between two circuits and prevents the current flow between them. It does this through the use of an opto-isolator, which uses an optical connection between the input side and the output side. A signal on the input side will be transmitted to the output side via the LED in the opto-isolator. On the output side, the LED will activate the photo-transistor, thus completing the circuit to switch the output signal.

The SI8642EB-B-IUR features a high-speed isolation barrier that provides low errors in data transmission. It also offers a low on-resistance logic gate, allowing high-speed switching with low loss. Furthermore, it features high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and excellent propagation delay, which ensures low start-up and response times. Additionally, it provides immunity to high input noise voltages, ESD compliance, wide temperature operating range and low power consumption.
