NSi8120/NSi8121/NSi8122
4.0 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The NSi812x is a Dual-channel digital isolator based on a capacitive isolation barrier technique. The digital signal is modulated with
RF carrier generated by the internal oscillator at the Transmitter side. Then it is transferred through the capacitive isolation barrier and
demodulated at the Receiver side.
The NSi812x devices are high reliability dual-channel digital isolator with AEC-Q100 qualified. The NSi812x device is safety
certified by UL1577 support several insulation withstand voltages (3.75kVrms, 5kVrms), while providing high electromagnetic
immunity and low emissions at low power consumption. The data rate of the NSi812x is up to 150Mbps, and the common-mode
transient immunity (CMTI) is up to 150kV/us. The NSi812x device provides digital channel direction configuration and the default
output level configuration when the input power is lost. Wide supply voltage of the NSi812x device support to connect with most
digital interface directly, easy to do the level shift. High system level EMC performance enhance reliability and stability of use.
The NSi812x has a default output status when VDDIN is unready and VDDOUT is ready as shown in Table 4.1, which helps for
diagnosis when power is missing at the transmitter side. The output B follows the same status with the input A within 1us after
powering up.

5.0 APPLICATION NOTE
5.1. PCB LAYOUT
The NSi812x requires a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor between VDD1 and GND1, VDD2 and GND2. The capacitor should be
placed as close as possible to the package. Figure 5.1 to Figure 5.4 show the recommended PCB layout, make sure the space under the
chip should keep free from planes, traces, pads and via. To enhance the robustness of a design, the user may also include resistors (50–
300 Ω ) in series with the inputs and outputs if the system is excessively noisy. The series resistors also improve the system reliability
such as latch-up immunity.
The typical output impedance of an isolator driver channel is approximately 50 Ω, ±40%. When driving loads where transmission line
effects will be a factor, output pins should be appropriately terminated with controlled impedance PCB traces.

5.2. HIGH SPEED PERFORMANCE
Figure 5.5 shows the eye diagram of NSi812x at 200Mbps data rate output. The result shows a typical measurement on the NSi812x
with 350ps p-p jitter.
Figure5.5 NSi812x Eye Diagram
5.3. TYPICAL SUPPLY CURRENT EQUATIONS
The typical supply current of NSi812x can be calculated using below equations. IDD1 and IDD2 are typical supply currents measured in
mA, f is data rate measured in Mbps, CL is the capacitive load measured in pF
NSi8120:
IDD1 = 0.19 *a1+1.45*b1+0.82*c1.
IDD2 = 1.36+ VDD1*f* CL *c1*10-9
When a1 is the channel number of low input at side 1, b1 is the channel number of high input at side 1, c1 is the channel number of
switch signal input at side 1.
NSi8121/ NSi8122:
IDD1 = 0.87 +1.26*b1+0.63*c1+ VDD1*f* CL *c2*10-9
IDD2 = 0.87 +1.26*b2+0.63*c2+ VDD1*f* CL *c1*10-9
When b1 is the channel number of high input at side 1, c1 is the channel number of switch signal input at side 1, b2 is the channel
number of high input at side 2, c2 is the channel number of switch signal input at side 2.
