Skyworks Solutions Inc. SI860xI2C-KIT Evaluation Kit

Skyworks Solutions Inc. SI860xI2C-KIT Evaluation Kit is an engineering break-out board designed to demonstrate the features of the Si860x Ultra-Low-Power I2C Isolators. The Si860x Isolators are CMOS devices employing RF coupler technology to transmit digital information across an isolation barrier. These devices deliver very high-speed operation at low power levels. Based on Skyworks’ proprietary RF isolation technology, the Si860x Isolators offer shorter propagation delays, lower power consumption, improved noise immunity, a smaller footprint, and more stable operation with temperature and age versus optocouplers. The Si860x Isolator series consists of single-package galvanic isolation solutions for I2C, SMBus, and other digital power supply communications, including those for bus power management.

Skyworks Solutions Inc. SI860xI2C-KIT Evaluation Kit is populated with a Si8600 (isolated I2C, two bidirectional, SOIC-8 package), Si8602 (isolated I2C, one bidirectional, SOIC-8 package), and Si8605 (I2C isolator, two bidirectional, two unidirectional, SOIC-16 package). The Evaluation Kit is designed to be powered by two separate 5V, 500mA supplies.
