Si8921/22 Data Sheet Isolated Amplifier for Current Shunt Measurement KEY FEATURES The Si8921/22 is a galvanically isolated analog amplifier. The low-voltage differential input is ideal for measuring voltage across a current shunt resistor or for any place where a sensor • Low voltage differential input must be isolated from the control system. The output is a differential analog signal amplified by • ±62.5 mV and ±250 mV options either 8.2x or 32.8x. • Low signal delay: 0.8 µs The very low signal delay of the Si8921/22 allows control systems to respond quickly to fault • Typical input offset: ±40 µV conditions or changes in load. Low offset and gain drift ensure that accuracy is maintained over • Typical gain error: ±0.1% the entire operating temperature range. Exceptionally high common-mode transient immunity • Excellent drift specifications means that the Si8921/22 delivers accurate measurements even in the presence of high-power • ±0.5 µV/°C typical offset drift switching as is found in motor drive systems and inverters. • –4 ppm/°C typical gain drift The Si8921/22 isolated amplifier utilizes Silicon Labs’ proprietary isolation technology. It sup- • Typical Nonlinearity: 0.003% full- scale ports up to 5.0 kVrms withstand voltage per UL1577. This technology enables higher perform- ance, reduced variation with temperature and age, tighter part-to-part matching, and longer life- • Typical SNR: 82 dB over 100 kHz bandwidth times compared to other isolation technologies. • Typical THD: –88 dB Applications: • High common-mode transient • Industrial, HEV and renewable energy inverters immunity: 75 kV/µs • AC, Brushless, and DC motor controls and drives • Compact packages • 8-pin wide body stretched SOIC • Variable speed motor control in consumer white goods • 8-pin narrow body SOIC • Isolated switch mode and UPS power supplies • –40 to 125 °C Safety Approvals (pending): • UL 1577 recognized • Up to 5000 Vrms for 1 minute • CSA component notice 5A approval • IEC 60950-1 (reinforced insulation) • VDE certification conformity • VDE0884 Part 10 (basic/reinforced insulation) • CQC certification approval • GB4943.1 Si8921Si8922 VDDA VDDB VDDA VDDB OSC OSC AIP AOP AIP AO PWM PWM PWM PWM AIN AON AIN NC TransmitterReceiverTransmitterReceiver GNDA CMOS Isolation GNDB GNDA CMOS Isolation GNDB silabs.com | Building a more connected world.
