Rev. 0.2 9 4. Summary Many analog systems require isolation to provide safety, le vel shifting or to mitigate ground noise. ISOamps are a common but expensive solution that lack flexibility and force the designer to compromise and/or add supplemental circuitry to a design. Silicon Labs' ISOlinear reference design (Si 86IsoLin-EVB) offers a lower-cost, more flexible linear isolation solution. This design is enabled by the Silicon Labs Si86xx industry-leading digital isolator and requires only four operational amplifiers and some passive components in addition to the isolator. The ISOlinear reference design benefits the user with a robust, competitive solution and the opportunity to create an optimum solution for the application at hand at a fraction of the price of an ISOamp. 4.1.
