Digital Isolators are essential components in the physical layer of any serial communication system. Defined as "a component to isolate two circuits across an interface and provide the functionality needed to ensure data transmission over the isolated link", they help to ensure data integrity across communications links. The SI8662BC-A-IS1 is an excellent example of a precision low-power digital isolator. This article will discuss the application field of the SI8662BC-A-IS1, as well as its working principle.

Application Field

The SI8662BC-A-IS1 is an isolation component designed for digital communication standards such as RS-485, CAN, I2C, USB and LVDS. It can be used to build isolation solutions for embedded systems, such as industrial automation, building automation, consumer electronics, shipping automation, and database platforms. As a digital isolation component, it has a high differential signal bandwidth of 32Mb/s, and it is capable of providing 8 isolated inputs and 8 isolated outputs with isolation voltage of up to 2500Vrms. It only requires a small footprint with low power dissipation, making it an ideal choice for embedded applications.

Working Principle

The SI8662BC-A-IS1 is based on the principle of capacitive coupling for signal isolation. It transfers data from one circuit to another by passing the electrical signal through an air gap between two capacitors. This is opposed to inductive coupling, which is slower and less efficient. The isolator also includes a dedicated broadcast channel, allowing the unit to operate at full speed without risk of data corruption or picket fencing.

The isolator contains two active components: the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter is responsible for sending out the data signal. It shifts the voltage level of the signal and sends it out on the data bus. The receiver then retrieves the shifted signal and converts it back to its original voltage level. The isolator calculates the differential between the shifted signal and the original signal, and the calculated difference is then used to calculate the final data value. This process of capacitive coupling ensures the data remains intact, and prevents any interference from other electrical signals.

The SI8662BC-A-IS1 supports multiple modes of operation and includes different levels of noise immunity. The built-in arbiter and intuitive backplane protocols ensure that the unit maintains its signal integrity and accuracy even under intense electromagnetic environment. It includes a special self-test feature to ensure optimal performance. The self-test feature is also used to detect faults in the device and alert the user to any potential issues.

Conclusion

The SI8662BC-A-IS1 is an ideal solution for digital communication and isolation applications. Its small size and low power dissipation make it a perfect choice for embedded systems. Its capacitive coupling technology and support for multiple modes of operation ensure high-speed, accurate data transfer. The self-test feature makes it easy to detect and troubleshoot any potential issue. It is an ideal choice for any application that requires precise and reliable data transfer.
