1. Introduction
The ISOlinear reference design modulates the incoming analog signal, transmits the resulting digital signal through
the Si86xx digital isolator, and filters the resulting output-side data to reconstruct the analog input signal. Key
applications include: isolation amplifier for sensors, ground loop elimination, level shifting, and motor control. The
ISOlinear reference design offers the user an alternative to expensive analog isolation amplifiers, with the added
benefits of competitive performance and greater economy and user-flexibility. This reference design contains three
different cost/performance-optimized analog isolation circuits.
The heart of the ISOlinear reference design is the Si86xx digital isolator. The Si86xx is a family of high-
performance, CMOS-based galvanic isolators designed for industrial, commercial, and medical isolation
applications. With isolation ratings of up to 5 kVrms, these products are available in various channel counts
(1/2/3/4/5/6), speeds up to 150 Mbps, and multiple packaging options, including wide-body SOIC-16, narrow body
SOIC-16, QSOP-16, and SOIC-8.
2. Kit Contents
The Si86xxIsoLin evaluation kit (Si86xxIsoLin-Kit) contains the following:
Si86xxIsoLin evaluation board (Si86xxIsoLin-EB) featuring multiple Si8630 150 Mbps digital isolators in a
wide-body SOIC-16 package.
Type Input Range Bandwidth Resolution THD Gain Input Output Current

As shown in Figure 1, each circuit has analog input and output BNC connectors. Standard banana connectors are
used for applying power to the evaluation board, and each circuit can be individually powered using proper jumper
settings.

4.2. Circuit 1 Setup
Perform the following steps for Circuit 1 setup:
1. Connect the other end of the black banana cable to J4(GND1) and J5 (ISOGND1).
2. Shunt jumpers J3 and J6 to apply power to the circuit.
3. Turn ON the dc power supply.
4. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to J7 (Vin) and the other end to an analog signal source (if buffer is used,
connect the other end to the output of the buffer).
5. Connect one end of the other coaxial cable to J8 (Vout) and the other end to the circuit following. The output
may be connected to the oscilloscope (1 M impedance) for initial verification.
6. Figures 7–11 shows various analog signal response of Circuit1.
7. The board under test is ready for transferring signal across the isolation barrier.
8. Make sure the amplitude of the analog source < ±1 Vpk and frequency <100 kHz.
