1. Introduction
The Si80xx evaluation kit allows designers to evaluate Silicon Lab's family of low-power digital isolators. These are
CMOS devices offering substantial data rate, propagation delay, power, size, reliability, and external BOM
advantages over legacy isolation technologies. The operating parameters of these products remain stable across
wide temperature ranges and throughout device service life for ease of design and highly uniform performance. All
device versions have Schmitt trigger inputs for high noise immunity and only require VDD bypass capacitors. Data
rates up to 10 Mbps are supported, and all devices achieve propagation delays of less than 65 ns. Enable inputs
provide a single point control for enabling and disabling output drive. Ordering options include a choice of 1kV
isolation ratings. For more information, refer to the Si80xx family data sheets. This evaluation kit consists of an
evaluation board featuring the QSOP-16 package. Note that the other packages are not available at this time.
