Description
The Si8900/1/2 series of isolated monitoring ADCs are useful as linear
signal galvanic isolators, level shifters, and/or ground loop eliminators in
many applications including power-delivery systems and solar inverters.
These devices integrate a 10-bit SAR ADC subsystem, supervisory state
machine and isolated UART (Si8900), I
2
C/SMbus port (Si8901), or SPI
Port (Si8902) in a single package. Based on Silicon Labs’ proprietary
CMOS isolation technology, ordering options include a choice of 2.5 or
5 kV isolation ratings. All products are safety certified by UL, CSA, and
VDE (pending). The Si8900/1/2 devices offer a typical common-mode
transient immunity performance of 45 kV/µs for robust performance in
noisy and high-voltage environments. Devices in this family are available
in 16-pin SOIC wide-body packages.
