Product details
Overview
SI83404BBA-IFR from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel isolated smart high-side switch IC with galvanic CMOS isolation, 0.7 A continuous output per channel, 155 mΩ RON, 9–32 V switch supply, and 2.25–5.5 V logic supply-designed for driving solenoids, relays, and lamps in industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the SI83404BBA-IFR datasheet, SI83404BBA-IFR pinout, SI83404BBA-IFR application, or SI83404BBA-IFR equivalent, key selection considerations include its parallel-only interface (no SPI), absence of Inrush Current Mode, presence of open-channel indicator (OPEN_CH), and dedicated low-voltage warning (VDD2_WRN) for 9–32 V industrial power rails.
Technical Context
The SI83404BBA-IFR implements four independent high-side switches with integrated voltage, current, and temperature sensing, each featuring a multi-voltage smart output clamp for unlimited EAS handling and fast turn-OFF. Its isolation barrier uses RF modulation instead of optical coupling, delivering >100 kV/µs CMTI and 1.5 kVRMS safety rating.
Control is via parallel digital inputs and asynchronous OE pin; diagnostics are reported through active-low open-drain pins (FLT, VDD2_WRN, OPEN_CH, LED1–LED4), not SPI-distinguishing it from SPI-capable Si834x variants. Fault responses include current-limited overload protection, over-temperature shutdown, and undervoltage lockout on both VDD1 and VDD2 supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Channels | 4 independent high-side switches-enables consolidated control of multiple industrial loads without external drivers. |
| Continuous Output Current | 0.7 A per channel-supports typical solenoid and relay coils in PLC output modules without derating at 125 °C ambient. |
| RON | 155 mΩ max at 25 °C-minimizes conduction loss and self-heating under full load (0.076 W/channel at 0.7 A). |
| Switch Supply Range | 9 V–32 V-compatible with standard industrial DC bus voltages including 12 V, 24 V, and 32 V systems. |
| Logic Supply Range | 2.25 V–5.5 V-interfacing directly with low-power MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+) without level-shifting. |
| Isolation Rating | 1.5 kVRMS for 1 minute-meets UL 1577 recognition and supports functional isolation in IEC 61131-2 compliant controllers. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +125 °C-ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial enclosures and uncontrolled ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
SI83404BBA-IFR is housed in a compact 9 mm × 9 mm DFN-32 package with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for high-density industrial PCB layouts and thermal dissipation in sealed enclosures.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Logic supply input | Powers internal digital circuitry and isolation transmitter; requires 2.25–5.5 V with bypass capacitor. |
| VDD2 | Switch supply input | Provides power to all four high-side output stages; accepts 9–32 V with overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring. |
| GND1 / GND2 | Logic / switch ground | Galvanically separated grounds-mandatory physical separation on PCB to maintain isolation integrity. |
| A1–A4 | Parallel input channels | Direct TTL/CMOS-compatible control inputs for each switch; high = ON, low = OFF. |
| OE | Output enable | Asynchronous global disable-forces all outputs OFF regardless of A1–A4 states when pulled low. |
| B1–B4 | High-side switch outputs | Source current to loads; each rated for 0.7 A continuous, 155 mΩ RON, with built-in fault protection. |
| FLT | Fault indicator | Active-low open-drain output asserting when any monitored fault (overcurrent, overtemp, UVLO) is detected. |
| VDD2_WRN | Switch supply low-voltage warning | Active-low open-drain signal indicating VDD2 is below warning threshold (≈9 V), enabling early system response. |
| OPEN_CH | Open-circuit detection indicator | Active-low open-drain output asserted when any channel detects an open-load condition (e.g., broken wire). |
| LED1–LED4 | Channel status indicators | Active-low open-drain outputs mirroring B1–B4 states-directly drive LEDs for visual I/O status feedback. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Galvanic CMOS isolation | Replaces optocouplers with >100 kV/µs CMTI and 1.5 kVRMS rating-eliminates LED aging and improves long-term timing stability. |
| Smart output clamp | Multi-voltage clamp handles unlimited demagnetization energy (EAS)-prevents voltage spikes during inductive turn-OFF without snubbers. |
| Parallel-only interface | No SPI required-simplifies firmware, reduces MCU GPIO count, and enables drop-in replacement for legacy optocoupler+driver designs. |
| Comprehensive fault reporting | Eight diagnostics (via pin asserts): FLT, VDD2_WRN, OPEN_CH, and LEDn-enables real-time field diagnostics without host processor overhead. |
| Industrial-grade protection | Integrated overcurrent, overtemperature, open-load, and dual-supply UVLO-reduces need for external protection components in PLC output stages. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side isolated switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI83404BAA-IFR | Same 4-channel high-side configuration, but includes Inrush Current Mode (8 A for 20 ms) and LEDn indicators only-no VDD2_WRN or OPEN_CH. | Suitable for lamp loads requiring high inrush tolerance; lacks open-circuit and low-VDD2 warnings critical for predictive maintenance. | Select SI83404BAA-IFR only if lamp-driving capability is prioritized over diagnostic completeness. |
| SI83414BAA-IFR | 4-channel low-side sinking variant with identical pinout and specs-requires load connection to VDD2 instead of ground. | Used when load common is tied to positive rail (e.g., automotive body control); incompatible with high-side referenced PLC architectures. | Choose SI83414BAA-IFR only for low-side topologies-verify load grounding scheme before substitution. |
Compared with SI83404BBA-IFR, SI83404BAA-IFR adds inrush support but removes two critical diagnostics, while SI83414BAA-IFR changes output topology entirely-neither is pin-compatible, and both require PCB layout and firmware logic adjustments.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel for the SI83404BBA-IFR?
The SI83404BBA-IFR delivers up to 0.7 A continuous current per channel at 25 °C ambient, derating linearly to 0.5 A at 125 °C. This rating is validated across the full 9–32 V switch supply range and accounts for internal thermal limits and RON (155 mΩ max), making it suitable for standard 24 V solenoid and relay loads in industrial environments.
Does the SI83404BBA-IFR support SPI communication for diagnostics?
No, the SI83404BBA-IFR does not support SPI. It uses a parallel-only interface with dedicated open-drain diagnostic pins (FLT, VDD2_WRN, OPEN_CH, LED1–LED4). Unlike SPI-capable Si834x variants (e.g., SI83408BDA-IFR), this part relies entirely on hardware pin asserts for fault reporting-simplifying firmware but limiting diagnostic granularity.
What isolation rating and safety certifications apply to the SI83404BBA-IFR?
The SI83404BBA-IFR provides 1.5 kVRMS galvanic isolation per UL 1577 (recognized), complies with IEC 61131-2 for industrial controllers, and meets CSA 62368-1 and CQC GB4943.1 safety requirements. Its CMOS-based RF isolation achieves >100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity-exceeding optocoupler performance in electrically noisy factory settings.
Can the SI83404BBA-IFR drive inductive loads like solenoids without external clamping components?
Yes. The SI83404BBA-IFR integrates a multi-voltage smart output clamp that safely dissipates unlimited demagnetization energy (EAS) during inductive turn-OFF. This eliminates the need for external flyback diodes or RC snubbers when switching solenoids, relays, or other inductive loads-reducing board area and component count.
What is the function of the OPEN_CH pin on the SI83404BBA-IFR?
The OPEN_CH pin is an active-low open-drain indicator that asserts when any of the four output channels detects an open-circuit condition-such as a broken wire or disconnected load. This enables immediate field-level fault identification without polling registers, supporting predictive maintenance in PLC and DAQ systems where load continuity is mission-critical.
