Product details
Overview
SI83404BCA-IFR from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-channel isolated smart switch with galvanic isolation, configured as high-side switches delivering 700 mA continuous current per channel (RON = 155 mΩ), supporting 9–32 V switch supply and 2.25–5.5 V logic supply, and used in industrial PLC output modules for driving solenoids and relays.
For engineers reviewing the SI83404BCA-IFR datasheet, SI83404BCA-IFR pinout, SI83404BCA-IFR application, or SI83404BCA-IFR equivalent, key selection considerations include its open-source high-side topology, absence of SPI interface, presence of open-drain open-channel indicator (OPEN_CH), lack of VDD2 warning pin, and dedicated fault reporting via active-low FLT pin.
Technical Context
The SI83404BCA-IFR implements four independent high-side switches with CMOS-based RF isolation, each featuring integrated voltage, current, and temperature sensing plus multi-voltage clamp for unlimited EAS handling. It uses parallel input control with asynchronous OE pin and lacks SPI functionality.
Its truth table (Table 4 in datasheet) confirms operation under Si834xxxCx configuration: FLT_CLR input enables fault clearing, OPEN_CH pin reports open-circuit condition across all channels, and FLT asserts active-low on any detected fault including overcurrent, overtemperature, or undervoltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switch Type | High-side, open-source configuration with 155 mΩ RON per channel |
| Continuous Current | 700 mA per channel - supports industrial resistive/inductive loads without external heatsinking |
| Supply Range | VDD1: 2.25–5.5 V; VDD2: 9–32 V - compatible with 3.3 V/5 V MCUs and 24 V industrial rails |
| Isolation Rating | 1.5 kVRMS - UL 1577 recognized, enabling safe separation between logic and power domains |
| CMTI | >100 kV/µs - prevents false triggering in noisy industrial environments with fast transients |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial temperature range operation |

Pinout & Package
SI83404BCA-IFR is housed in a compact 9×9 mm DFN-32 package with exposed thermal pad, optimized for high-density industrial PCB layouts and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Logic supply input | Powers digital interface (2.25–5.5 V); internal diode allows powering from logic inputs |
| VDD2 | Switch supply input | Powers high-side outputs (9–32 V); UVLO threshold at ~9 V ensures safe startup |
| GND1 / GND2 | Logic / power ground | Galvanically isolated grounds - mandatory physical separation on PCB |

| A1–A4 | Parallel logic inputs | Direct control of B1–B4 outputs; no SPI required - simplifies migration from optocouplers |
| B1–B4 | High-side switch outputs | Source current to load; each rated for 700 mA continuous, 155 mΩ RON |
| FLT | Fault indicator | Active-low open-drain output asserting on any fault (overcurrent, overtemp, undervoltage) |
| OPEN_CH | Open-circuit detector | Active-low open-drain pin indicating open-load condition on any channel |
| FLT_CLR | Fault clear input | Active-high input to reset latched faults after root cause removal |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI83404BBA-IFR | Lacks OPEN_CH pin; includes VDD2_WRN indicator instead | Suitable where open-load detection is unnecessary but supply voltage warning is preferred | Select SI83404BBA-IFR only if system-level diagnostics prioritize VDD2 brownout over open-circuit monitoring |
| SI83404ABA-IFR | Includes Inrush Current Mode (8 A/20 ms) and VDD2_WRN pin; no OPEN_CH | Optimized for lamp loads requiring high inrush tolerance and supply monitoring | Choose SI83404ABA-IFR when driving incandescent lamps or other high-inrush resistive loads |
Compared with SI83404BCA-IFR, SI83404BBA-IFR trades open-channel detection for supply warning capability, while SI83404ABA-IFR adds inrush support at the expense of both OPEN_CH and FLT_CLR functionality - making SI83404BCA-IFR the only variant offering hardware-level open-circuit visibility with full fault clearing.

FAQ
What is the switch configuration of SI83404BCA-IFR?
The SI83404BCA-IFR is configured as four independent high-side switches in an open-source topology. Each channel sources current from VDD2 to the load, with 700 mA continuous rating and 155 mΩ typical RON. It does not support low-side sinking operation - this is fixed by the part number's "C" suffix in the Si834x ordering guide.
Does SI83404BCA-IFR support SPI communication?
No, SI83404BCA-IFR does not support SPI. It belongs to the Si834xxxCx family variant, which uses parallel input control (A1–A4) and hardware fault signaling (FLT, OPEN_CH, FLT_CLR) only. SPI functionality is present only in "D" and "F" suffix variants like SI83408BDA-IFR.
What diagnostic features are available on SI83404BCA-IFR?
SI83404BCA-IFR provides two hardware diagnostic outputs: active-low FLT pin indicating any fault (overcurrent, overtemperature, undervoltage), and active-low OPEN_CH pin asserting when an open-circuit condition is detected on any of the four output channels. It does not expose VDD2_WRN or LEDn status indicators.
What is the purpose of the FLT_CLR pin on SI83404BCA-IFR?
The FLT_CLR pin on SI83404BCA-IFR is an active-high input that clears latched fault conditions after the root cause has been resolved. When asserted high, it resets the internal fault latch so FLT returns low - enabling hardware-only fault recovery without requiring SPI register access or MCU firmware intervention.
Is SI83404BCA-IFR RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, SI83404BCA-IFR is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per Skyworks' material declarations. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) and is qualified to AEC-Q100 stress test standards for industrial reliability, with full traceability through Skyworks' manufacturing lot codes.
