Si8941/46/47 Data Sheet Isolated Delta-Sigma Modulator for Current Shunt Measurement KEY FEATURES The Si8941/46/47 is a galvanically isolated delta-sigma modulator which outputs a digital signal proportional to the voltage level at the input. The low-voltage differential input is ideal for meas- • Low voltage differential input uring voltage across a current shunt resistor or for any place where a sensor must be isolated • ±62.5 mV and ±250 mV options from the control system. Low noise, low error, and high precision ensure an accurate measure- • Modulator clock options ment of system current. • External clock up to 25 MHz (Si8941) The output of the Si8941/46/47 comes from a 2nd order delta-sigma modulator. The modulator • 10 MHz internal clock (Si8946) can be clocked either from an onboard oscillator (Si8946/47) or from an external clock (Si8941). The output is typically digitally filtered by a MCU or FPGA in the system. • 20 MHz internal clock (Si8947) • Typical input offset: ±40 µV The Si8941/46/47 isolated delta-sigma modulator utilizes Silicon Labs’ proprietary isolation • Typical gain error: ±0.1% technology. It supports up to 5.0 kVrms withstand voltage per UL1577. This technology enables • Excellent drift specifications higher performance, reduced variation with temperature and age, tighter part-to-part matching, • ±0.15 µV/°C typical offset drift and longer lifetimes compared to other isolation technologies. • ±14 ppm/°C typical gain drift Applications: • Typical 14-bit (ENOB) precision • Industrial, HEV and renewable energy inverters • High common-mode transient • AC, Brushless, and DC motor controls and drives immunity: 75 kV/µs • Typical SNR: 90 dB • Variable speed motor control in consumer white goods • Typical THD: –97 dB • Isolated switch mode and UPS power supplies • Typical nonlinearity: 0.002 • Automotive BMS and charging • Compact packages Safety Approvals (pending): • 8-pin wide body stretched SOIC • UL 1577 recognized • 8-pin narrow body SOIC • Up to 5000 Vrms for 1 minute • –40 to 125 °C • CSA component notice 5A approval • IEC 60950-1 (reinforced insulation) • VDE certification conformity • VDE0884 Part 10 (basic/reinforced insulation) • CQC certification approval • GB4943.1 Si894x VDDA VDDB AIP CLK ACLK DSM AIN ADAT TransmitterReceiver GNDA CMOS Isolation GNDB silabs.com | Building a more connected world.
