Table 13 lists the design constraints.
5.4. I
The first step in applying an I
Ideally, it should be the side which:
1. Is compatible with the range of bus pull up specified by the manufacturer. For example, the Si8400/01/02/05
2. Has the highest input low level for devices on the bus. Some devices may specify an input low of 0.9 V and
3. Have devices on the bus that can pull down below the isolator input low level. For example, the Si840x input
4. Has the lowest noise. Due to the special logic levels, noise margins can be as low as 50 mV.
The Si840x isolators are not compatible with devices that have a logic low of 0.8 V. For this situation, a discrete
circuit can be used. See “AN352: Low-Cost, High-Speed I
information.
Design Constraint
To prevent the latch condition, the
isolator output low level must be
greater than the isolator input low
level.
The bus output low must be less
than the isolator input low logic
level.
The isolator output low must be
less than the bus input low.
isolators are normally used with a pull up of 0.5 mA to 3 mA.
other devices might require an input low of 0.3 x Vdd. Assuming a 3.3 V minimum power supply, the side with
an input low of 0.3 x Vdd is the better side because this side has an input low level of 1.0 V.
level is 0.45 V. As most CMOS devices can pull to within 0.4 V of GND this is generally not an issue.

C Isolation with Digital Isolators” for additional
This is normally guaranteed by the
isolator data sheet. However, if the
pull up strength is too weak, the out-
put low voltage will fall and can get
too close to the input low logic level.
These track over temperature.
If the pull up strength is too large,
the devices on the bus might not pull
the voltage below the input low
range. These have opposite temper-
ature coefficients. Worst case is hot
temperature.
If the pull up strength is too large,
the isolator might not pull below the
bus input low voltage.
Si8400/01/05 Vol: –1.8 mV/C
CMOS buffer: –0.6 mV/C
This provides some temperature
tracking, but worst case is cold tem-
perature.
