UG130: Si86xxT-EVB User's Guide
The Si864xxT devices, the latest addition to the Si86xx isolator family, are 4-channel
CMOS-based galvanic digital isolators surge rated at 10 kV. Operating up to 150 Mbps,
they are available in wide body 16-pin SOIC packages and designed for the stringent
isolation needs of the industrial, commercial, and automotive markets. Various channel
configurations dictating the number of reverse channels and default output states are
also available per the Si86xx data sheet’s ordering guide.
The Si864xxT-EVB allows designers to quickly evaluate the Si8642ET’s capabilities
and functionality, either by driving inputs to logic low via shunts, or injecting signals to
the header pins via single wires or a 2x6 ribbon cable (not included).

3. Hardware Setup and Demonstration
3.1 Powering the Supplies
Both sides of the Si8642ET isolator accept supplies between 2.5-5.5 V. See the figure below.
Perform the following steps to set up the Si864xxT-EVB:
• Remove all shunts.
• Power Side-A.
• Clip 5.0 V from the first power supply to TP1 (VDD1) and its GND to TP3 or TP5 (GND1).
• LED, D1, will light up, confirming power is supplied.
• Power Side-B.
• Clip 5.0 V from the second power supply to TP2 (VDD2) and its GND to TP4 or TP6 (GND2).
• LED, D2, will light up, confirming power is supplied.

3.2 DC Signal Demonstration
3.2.1 Defaults
The default output signal state of the Si8642ET is a logic High, meaning that with all shunts removed (EN1 and EN2 floating), all digital
inputs (A1, A2, B3, B4) and all digital outputs will (B1, B2, A3, A4) will be at their respective High voltage level. These values can be
measured and confirmed using the DMM.
• Remove all shunts.
• Measure with the DMM that all digital inputs (A1, A2, B3, B4) are logic High.
• Measure with the DMM that all digital outputs (B1, B2, A3, A4) are logic High.
See Figure 3.1 EVB — Powered Up on page 4.

3.2.2 Fail-safes
When power is removed from one side of the isolator, the outputs at the other side of the isolator default to logic High.
• A-side
• Remove all shunts.
• Remove A-side power supply.
• Measure B-side outputs, B1 and B2 and see that they are logic High.
• Replace A-side power and see B1 and B2 driven to their appropriate states.
• B-side
• Remove all shunts.
• Remove B-side power supply.
• Measure A-side outputs, A3 and A4 and see that they are logic High.
• Replace B-side power and see A3 and A4 drive to their appropriate states.

3.2.3 Configured
For an example, see the figure below.
• Place a shunt across J1 at A2.
• This produces a logic Low input on forward channel A2. The SI8642ET will transmit this to the B-side, and the corresponding
logic Low can be observed and measured with the DMM on J2, B2.
• Place a shunt across J2 at B3.
• This produces a logic Low input on reverse channel B3. The SI8642ET will transmit this to the A-side, and the corresponding
logic Low can be measured with the DMM on J1, A3.

3.2.4 Utilizing Enable
For an example, see the figure below.
• Place a shunt across J1 at A2.
• This produces a logic Low input on forward channel A2. The SI8642ET will transmit this to the B-side, and the corresponding
logic Low can be observed and measured with the DMM on J2, B2.
• Place a shunt across J2 at EN2.
• This drives EN2 to a logic Low input which tri-states outputs B1 and B2. A Hi-Z output can be observed on outputs B1 and B2
with the DMM (appearing as a high), even while A1 is a logic Low and A2 is a logic High.

3.3 Optional Dynamic Signal Demonstration
Note: Logic inputs should NOT exceed the respective VDD.
For an example, see the figure below.
• Remove all shunts.
• Setup signal generator and oscilloscope.
• Generate 0 V to VDD1 peak, square wave (up to 300 MHz, but within the oscilloscope’s capabilities) on the signal generator.
• Split the signal generator output to two separate BNC cables via the splitter.
• Attach one BNC cable end to oscilloscope Channel 1 and configure the channel for 1x gain.
• Attach the 10x oscilloscope probe to oscilloscope channel 2 configure the channel for 10x gain.
• Connect the remaining BNC cable end to the BNC-to-test-clip adapter.
• Clip the signal generator’s output to A2 relative to GND1 (via either TP5 or TP3).
• Clip the oscilloscope probe’s signal line on B1 and reference to GND2 (via either TP4 or TP6).
• Observe Channel 1 (input – A2) and Channel 2 (output – B2) on the oscilloscope for various parametrics such as skew and jitter.
