SI8655BA-B-IU

Digital Isolators are electronic devices used to degrade and isolate communication signals or power signals. These have become increasingly popular as industries seek to protect communication signals from damage due to various factors such as power surges, static electricity, and/or electrical noise in the environment. One manufacturer of digital isolators is Pacific Microchip. The company’s SI8655BA-B-IU product is an example of a digital isolator and it offers a number of features and advantages that make it attractive to customers.

The SI8655BA-B-IU is a second-generation, 8-bit digital isolator that provides an isolation barrier between two circuits. It is designed to operate with a nominal input frequency of up to 25 MHz, making it suitable for a wide range of peripheral interface applications.

The SI8655BA-B-IU consists of four main components: an isolation package, an isolation input/output pair (I/O), an integrated circuit, and a non-isolated signal path. The isolation package consists of two sections: an isolation section and an I/O section. The isolation section contains the integrated circuit and is responsible for providing the necessary electrical isolation between the two circuits, while the I/O section houses the signal path components. The non-isolated signal path is responsible for the data or power transfer between the two circuits.

The SI8655BA-B-IU utilizes pi-Net isolation architecture for signal and data transmission. This isolation architecture uses capacitive coupling to provide a barrier between two circuits without the use of transformers and other expensive passive components. This allows for a more efficient and cost-effective isolation solution.

The SI8655BA-B-IU features 8-bit input/output resolution, a 0-100MHz operating frequency range, a transmission speed of up to 100MHz and low power dissipation. It offers both error detection and correction and can be used in a variety of applications, such as industrial communication buses, consumer electronics and automotive systems.

The SI8655BA-B-IU is a highly reliable and cost-effective isolation solution, designed to protect communication signals from various factors such as power surges, static electricity, and/or electrical noise in the environment. Furthermore, it features 8-bit resolution, a wide operating frequency range, and a high transmission speed, making it suitable for a variety of applications in various industries.
