Product details
Overview
SI3010-KS from Silicon Laboratories is a globally compliant line-side Direct Access Arrangement (DAA) IC designed for telephone line interface in V.92 modems and fax machines. It delivers 80 dB dynamic range, programmable AC/DC termination, ring detection (13.5–23.65 Vrms), loop current monitoring (10–120 mA), and >5000 V isolation via proprietary capacitive barrier technology.
For engineers reviewing the SI3010-KS datasheet, SI3010-KS pinout, SI3010-KS application, or SI3010-KS equivalent, this page provides verified functional context, validated pin roles, confirmed global regulatory compliance (FCC/TBR21/JATE), and real-world design values for line-side DAA integration with Si3056 system-side devices.
Technical Context
The SI3010-KS implements a fully isolated line-side interface with integrated hybrid, DC termination control, and programmable ring detect threshold (RT = 0 or 1). It operates with Si3056 as system-side controller via serial interface and supports dual-mode ring validation and enhanced caller ID circuitry when paired with optional external components.
It features configurable DC termination voltage (up to 40 V at 60 mA), on-hook leakage <5 µA, and operates across 0–70 °C ambient with 3.3 V supply. Its transhybrid balance and programmable digital gain enable near-end echo reduction without external analog components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DAA line-side applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si3018-KS | Global line-side device with identical pinout and register map; lacks enhanced CID circuitry and RNG2 validation output. | Supports basic FCC/JATE compliance but not TBR21 Annex A ring validation or enhanced 1.5 VPEAK CID mode. | Select Si3018-KS for cost-sensitive designs requiring baseline global compliance without advanced caller ID features. |
| Si3019-KS | Line-side variant with +3.2 dBm TX/RX level mode enabled; includes dedicated billing tone filter and overload detection logic. | Optimized for voice-centric applications (e.g., VoIP gateways) requiring higher signal levels and billing tone immunity. | Choose Si3019-KS when system-level SNR budget demands +3.2 dBm full-scale operation and billing tone rejection is mandatory. |
Compared with SI3010-KS, Si3018-KS offers reduced feature set at lower cost, while Si3019-KS adds voice-optimized signal level and filtering-making SI3010-KS the balanced choice for fax/modem applications requiring full TBR21 ring validation and standard CID performance.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SI3010-KS in a DAA system?
The SI3010-KS serves as the line-side Direct Access Arrangement IC, providing isolated analog interface to the telephone line-including hybrid, DC/AC termination, ring detection, loop current monitoring, and polarity reversal detection. It pairs exclusively with the Si3056 system-side device to form a complete, transformerless DAA solution. The SI3010-KS handles all physical layer compliance requirements while offloading digital control to Si3056.
Does the SI3010-KS support caller ID functionality, and what are its specifications?
Yes, the SI3010-KS supports both Type I and Type II caller ID protocols. It delivers a 6 VPEAK full-scale level with 50 dB dynamic range in standard mode, and supports an enhanced 1.5 VPEAK mode with 62 dB dynamic range when configured with external components per AN67. Caller ID decoding is performed externally by the host DSP; SI3010-KS ensures clean, compliant analog signal delivery to that processor.
How does the SI3010-KS achieve >5000 V isolation without a transformer?
The SI3010-KS uses Silicon Labs' proprietary capacitive isolation technology-a monolithic, silicon-dioxide dielectric barrier integrated into the IC package. This replaces magnetic transformers and opto-isolators while meeting UL1950, IEC 60950, and EN60950-1 reinforced insulation requirements. The isolation barrier separates line-side analog circuitry from the Si3056 interface side, enabling safe, reliable operation at up to 5000 VDC test voltage.
Can the SI3010-KS operate independently, or does it require a companion IC?
The SI3010-KS cannot operate independently-it is designed exclusively as a line-side companion to the Si3056 system-side DAA IC. All digital control, clock generation, serial interface, and DSP interfacing are handled by Si3056. SI3010-KS receives configuration commands and status requests via the shared serial bus (SCLK/SDI/SDO/FSYNC) and returns analog line data through the isolation barrier. No standalone operation or direct microcontroller interface is supported.
What are the key differences between SI3010-KS and Si3018-KS?
The SI3010-KS adds TBR21 Annex A ring validation (dual RNG1/RNG2 outputs), enhanced caller ID circuitry (supporting 1.5 VPEAK mode), and finer-resolution loop current monitoring versus Si3018-KS. Both share identical pinout, package, and core DAA functionality-but SI3010-KS targets applications requiring stricter European and Japanese regulatory validation, particularly for multi-ring burst detection and extended CID reliability in noisy environments.
