OverviewThe document provides detailed information on the Si825x family of programmable digital power controllers and the Si844x family of digital isolators, both designed for high-performance power management and isolation in various applications.
Digital Power ControllersThe Si825x series offers closed-loop feedback control, system protection, and power management for switch mode power systems and motor control applications. Key features include:
- Single-chip, flash-based digital controller with a DSP-based loop processor.
- 50 MIPS flash system management processor.
- Real-time firmware kernel and turnkey digital power supply target board.
- Operating temperature up to 125 °C.
These controllers are available in 5x5 mm 28QFN and 32LQFP packages.
Quad Digital IsolatorsThe Si844x family uses an RF coupler for digital information transmission across isolation barriers, achieving high-speed operation at low power levels. Features include:
- Speed grades of 1, 10, and 150 Mbps with propagation delay under 10 ns.
- Wide operating supply voltage range (2.375 – 5.5 V).
- Low power consumption and precise timing.
- Available in a 16-pin wide body SOIC package.
Operating temperatures range from -40 to 125 °C at 100 Mbps and -40 to 100 °C at 150 Mbps.
ApplicationsThe products are suitable for a variety of applications, including:
- DC-DC and AC-DC converters.
- Power factor correction (PFC) circuits.
- Motor control systems and UPS systems.
- Isolation and level shifting.
- Isolated analog data acquisition and operator interface controls.
- Plasma TVs, Ethernet/CAN networks, and isolated point-to-point communications.
Development ToolsThe Si8250DK development kit includes a digitally-controlled, 35 W isolated half-bridge DC-DC converter, providing a flexible and intelligent system for optimal performance. The kit features:
- Digital half-bridge target board and real-time application firmware.
