The Si840x series of isolators are single-package galvanic isolation
solutions for I2C and SMBus serial port applications. These products are
based on Silicon Labs proprietary RF isolation technology and offer shorter
propagation delays, lower power consumption, smaller installed size, and
more stable operation with temperature and age versus opto couplers or
other digital isolators.
All devices in this family include hot-swap, bidirectional SDA and SCL
isolation channels with open-drain, 35 mA sink capability and operate to a
maximum frequency of 1.7 MHz. The 8-pin version (Si8400/01) supports
bidirectional SDA and SCL isolation; the Si8402 supports bidirectional SDA
and unidirectional SCL isolation, and the 16-pin version (Si8405) features
two unidirectional isolation channels to support additional system signals,
such as an interrupt or reset. All versions contain protection circuits to
guard against data errors if an unpowered device is inserted into a powered
system.
Small size, low installed cost, low power consumption, and short
propagation delays make the Si840x family the optimum solution for
isolating I2C and SMBus serial ports.

Notes:
1. The nominal output impedance of a non-I2C isolator driver channel is approximately 85 , ±40%, which is a
combination of the value of the on-chip series termination resistor and channel resistance of the output driver FET.
When driving loads where transmission line effects will be a factor, output pins should be appropriately terminated with
controlled impedance PCB traces.
2. tPSK(P-P) is the magnitude of the difference in propagation delay times measured between different units operating at
the same supply voltages, load, and ambient temperature.

Notes:
1. The values in this table correspond to the nominal creepage and clearance values as detailed in “8. Package Outline:
8-Pin Narrow Body SOIC” and “10. Package Outline: 16-Pin Narrow Body SOIC”. VDE certifies the clearance and
creepage limits as 4.7 mm minimum for the NB SOIC-8 package and 4.7 mm minimum for the NB SOIC-16 package.
UL does not impose a clearance and creepage minimum for component level certifications. CSA certifies the
clearance and creepage limits as 3.9 mm minimum for the NB SOIC-8 package and 3.9 mm minimum for the NB
SOIC-16 package.
2. To determine resistance and capacitance, the Si840x, SO-16, is converted into a 2-terminal device. Pins 1–8 (1-4, SO8) are shorted together to form the first terminal and pins 9–16 (5–8, SO-8) are shorted together to form the second
terminal. The parameters are then measured between these two terminals.
3. Measured from input pin to ground.

2. Functional Description
2.1. Theory of Operation
The operation of an Si84xx channel is analogous to that of an opto coupler, except an RF carrier is modulated
instead of light. This simple architecture provides a robust isolated data path and requires no special
considerations or initialization at start-up. A simplified block diagram for a single unidirectional Si84xx channel is
shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Simplified Channel Diagram
A channel consists of an RF Transmitter and RF Receiver separated by a semiconductor-based isolation barrier.
Referring to the Transmitter, input A modulates the carrier provided by an RF oscillator using on/off keying. The
Receiver contains a demodulator that decodes the input state according to its RF energy content and applies the
result to output B via the output driver. This RF on/off keying scheme is superior to pulse code schemes as it
provides best-in-class noise immunity, low power consumption, and better immunity to magnetic fields. See
Figure 6 for more details.

3. Device Operation
Device behavior during start-up, normal operation, and shutdown is shown in Figure 7, where UVLO+ and UVLO–
are the positive-going and negative-going thresholds respectively. Refer to Table 12 to determine outputs when
power supply (VDD) is not present.
3.1. Device Startup
Outputs are held low during powerup until VDD is above the UVLO threshold for time period tSTART. Following
this, the outputs follow the states of inputs.

Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) is provided to prevent erroneous operation during device startup and shutdown or
when VDD is below its specified operating circuits range. Both Side A and Side B each have their own under
voltage lockout monitors. Each side can enter or exit UVLO independently. For example, Side A unconditionally
enters UVLO when AVDD falls below AVDDUVLO– and exits UVLO when AVDD rises above AVDDUVLO+. Side B
operates the same as Side A with respect to its BVDD supply.

3.3. Layout Recommendations
To ensure safety in the end user application, high voltage circuits (i.e., circuits with >30 VAC) must be physically
separated from the safety extra-low voltage circuits (SELV is a circuit with
