In summary, the Si826x products provide significant benefits over opto-drivers. The Si826x offers substantial improvements in lifetime, operating stability, signal timing, noise immunity, and power consumption while simplifying the system design. The Si826x isolation is based on Silicon Labs’ proven CMOS, capacitive isolation technology, and the products are offered in many different packages and configurations to maximize the sockets that can be improved. The Si826x devices can be used to replace compatible opto-drivers with little or no PCB modifications. Doing so will provide improved stability over temperature, time, and voltage variations. Unlike opto-drivers, there are no wear-out mechanisms in the Si826x products. Evaluation boards and sample packs are available now.
