Digital isolators employ advanced silicon chip technology to provide effective electrical isolation and concurrently, high-speed digital communication between parts of a system with different reference potentials. The SI8711BC-B-IP is a high-performance, industry-standard digital isolator that is part of the classic component-level series from Texas Instruments. It offers different applications and needs to be installed and wired in accordance with standard procedures and specific local requirements.

Applications of the SI8711BC-B-IP

As a part of the high-performance digital isolator family, the SI8711BC-B-IP provides an isolation rating of 3000 VAC for one minute between the input and output and a current transfer ratio (CTR) of 200% min@50 μA. It also features high data rates and small package size so it can be used in a wide variety of applications including instrumentation equipment, industrial process control, current loop circuits, and process loop circuits. This isolator can also be used to increase reliability and safety in the design of electronic systems, where galvanically isolated barriers are necessary between high voltage sections of the circuit and the channel between them. This isolator also ensures noise immunity, which is particularly important in data communication applications.

Working Principle of the SI8711BC-B-IP

The primary function of an isolated system is that electrons must be exchanged between two isolated domains (sides of the barrier) which is done by the digital isolator itself. The output signal is electrically lonely from the input signal, and they both operate as if they are not even connected. The digital isolators use magnetically coupled components to transmit signals. It uses special components (like an inductor/transformer) to inject the output current into the isolated side. The transformer/inductor increases the current signal, then a light emitting diode turns it into a light, and finally photodiode detects the light and converts it into the current.

The process of transferring data from one channel to another is more complicated than it may seem. The SI8711BC-B-IP uses two ICs, one for the input side, and one for the output side. On the input side, the signal is converted into an optical signal by using a light emitting diode. The light is transferred through an optical isolator and then converted back into an electrical signal on the output side, this time by a photodiode. The output signal is further amplified to ensure the full transfer of the data. The data is then transmitted through a signal amplifier and then across the isolator to the other side, where it is further amplified and sent to the output.

Conclusion

The SI8711BC-B-IP is an advanced industrial-grade digital isolator designed to provide superior isolation and efficiency for different applications, thereby ensuring increased reliability and safety in the design of complex systems. It also features a CTR of 200% min@50 μA and provides an isolation rating of 3000 VAC for one minute. In terms of working principle, it’s based on a two-IC approach, which involves the conversion of the input signal into an optical signal and its conversion back into an electrical signal on the output side. This isolator is suitable for use in instrumentation equipment, industrial process control, current loop circuits, and process loop circuits.
