Si88x4x Data Sheet
Quad Digital Isolators with DC-DC Converter
KEY FEATURES
The Si88xx integrates Silicon Labs’ proven digital isolator technology with an on-chip
isolated dc-dc converter that provides regulated output voltages of 3.3 or 5.0 V (or >5 V
with external components) at peak output power levels of up to 5 W. These devices pro-
vide up to four digital channels. The dc-dc converter has user-adjustable frequency for
minimizing emissions, a soft-start function for safety, a shut-down option and loop com-
pensation. The device requires only minimal passive components and a miniature trans-
former.
• High-speed isolators with integrated dc-dc
converter
• Fully-integrated secondary sensing
feedback-controlled converter with
dithering for low EMI
• dc-dc converter peak efficiency of 83%
with external power switch
The ultra-low-power digital isolation channels offer substantial data rate, propagation de-
lay, size and reliability advantages over legacy isolation technologies. Data rates up to
100 Mbps max are supported, and all devices achieve propagation delays of only 23 ns
max. Ordering options include a choice of dc-dc converter features, isolation channel
configurations and a failsafe mode. All products are certified by UL, CSA, VDE, and
CQC.
• Up to 5 W isolated power with external
power switch
• Options include dc-dc shutdown, frequency
control, and soft start
• Standard Voltage Conversion
• 3/5 V to isolated 3/5 V
• 24 V to isolated 3/5 V supported
Automotive Grade is available for certain part numbers. These products are built using
automotive-specific flows at all steps in the manufacturing process to ensure the robust-
ness and low defectivity required for automotive applications.
• Precise timing on digital isolators
