SI8652EC-B-IS1R

Digital Isolators

Digital Isolators are electrical components which are used to provide galvanic isolation of integrated circuits. They are also referred to as opto-isolators or opt-couplers. Digital isolators use a combination of optical and electrical isolation techniques to create a high isolation barrier. This barrier reduces the rate of noise transmission between individual integrated circuits.

SI8652EC-B-IS1R Application Field and Working Principle

The SI8652EC-B-IS1R is a digital isolator from the Silicon Labs family of isolators. This chip is designed for use in power generation, measurement and control applications in industrial, medical, automotive and consumer markets. It provides galvanic isolation between two different circuits and features high fidelity data transfer with low latency and jitter. It also features EasyBridge technology which helps to reduce system cost and size.

The SI8652EC-B-IS1R digital isolator has a robust power rated isolation barrier of up to 4 kilovolt (kV). It operates over an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The isolation dielectric strength is greater than 70V RMS, making it suitable for industrial applications with greater electrical loads. The SI8652EC-B-IS1R is highly efficient with low soft-error rates (SER). It also features a low EMI signature, which helps reduce instances of electromagnetic interference (EMI) in complex systems.

The working principle of the SI8652EC-B-IS1R can be broken into three stages: Power-On, Transfer, and Power-Off. During the Power-On stage, the isolator provides power to the device and sets up the communication port. During Transfer, the isolator converts data between the two circuits using optical isolation technology. Finally, during Power-Off, the isolator shuts down the port and removes power from the device.

The main applications for the SI8652EC-B-IS1R include power generation, measurement, and control applications. It is commonly used for safety-critical applications in industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer markets. It can be applied to motors, drives, servos, power supplies, and more. In addition, it is often used to isolate and protect sensitive communication systems such as Ethernet and Modbus.
