Product details
Overview
SI83416BFA-IFR from Skyworks Solutions is a 2-channel isolated smart switch with galvanic isolation, configured as low-side switches for industrial load control. It delivers 1.25 A continuous current per channel (RON = 78 mΩ), operates from 9–32 V switch supply and 2.25–5.5 V logic supply, and integrates full fault protection including overcurrent, overtemperature, and undervoltage monitoring - deployed in programmable logic controllers driving solenoids and relays.
For engineers reviewing the SI83416BFA-IFR datasheet, SI83416BFA-IFR pinout, SI83416BFA-IFR application, or SI83416BFA-IFR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world diagnostic capabilities (8 diagnostics via SPI), isolation performance (>100 kV/µs CMTI), safety certifications (UL 1577, IEC 61131-2), and precise package mapping to DFN-32 (9×9 mm) - all confirmed from Skyworks' official Si834x datasheet Rev. 206512A.
Technical Context
The SI83416BFA-IFR implements two independent low-side switching channels using RF-based CMOS isolation, each with dedicated isolation barriers for control and diagnostics. Its analog front-end includes precision voltage, current, and temperature sensing per channel, enabling real-time load condition monitoring and autonomous fault response without host intervention.
Switch operation supports parallel interface control with asynchronous OE pin and exposes eight diagnostics via SPI - including open-circuit detection, VDD2 warning, communication errors, and overtemperature events - with independent isolation channels ensuring diagnostic integrity remains decoupled from switch control timing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated low-side switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI83416BDA-IFR | No SPI interface; parallel-only control with OE pin only - lacks diagnostic access and configuration capability | Suitable for cost-sensitive, fixed-function designs where diagnostics are not required | Select SI83416BFA-IFR when SPI-based fault logging, remote configuration, or multi-device daisy-chaining is needed |
| SI83412BAA-IFR | 2-channel low-side switch with parallel interface and channel status indicators (LED1/LED2), but no SPI or FLT pin | Designed for visual status feedback in panel-mounted equipment; no diagnostic registers or communication | Choose SI83416BFA-IFR when centralized diagnostics, firmware-controlled fault clearing, or integration into SPI-based control networks is required |
Compared with SI83416BDA-IFR and SI83412BAA-IFR, SI83416BFA-IFR uniquely combines dual low-side switching, full SPI diagnostics, and a dedicated FLT pin - enabling predictive maintenance, remote health monitoring, and robust fault handling in networked industrial systems without adding external monitoring ICs.

FAQ
What is the isolation architecture used in SI83416BFA-IFR?
SI83416BFA-IFR uses Skyworks' proprietary RF-based CMOS isolation technology - not optocouplers or capacitive isolation. This architecture modulates an RF carrier across the isolation barrier, delivering >100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity and 1.5 kVRMS isolation rating, with superior lifetime reliability versus LED-based solutions. The SI83416BFA-IFR datasheet confirms this in Section 2 and Figure 1.
Does SI83416BFA-IFR support inrush current mode for lamp loads?
No. SI83416BFA-IFR does not support inrush current mode. Per Table 1 in the official Si834x datasheet, the "Inrush Current Mode" column for SI83416BFA-IFR is explicitly marked "No". This distinguishes it from variants like SI83414AAA-IFR or SI83418AFA-IFR, which do include 8 A / 20 ms inrush capability.
How many diagnostics does SI83416BFA-IFR report, and how are they accessed?
SI83416BFA-IFR reports eight distinct diagnostics - including VDD2 warning, overcurrent, overtemperature, open-circuit, and communication errors - all accessible via its SPI interface (MOSI/MISO/SCLK/NSS pins). These diagnostics reside in device status registers and can be read, monitored, and cleared in real time without affecting switch operation.
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel for SI83416BFA-IFR?
The maximum continuous output current per channel for SI83416BFA-IFR is 1.25 A, with a typical RON of 78 mΩ. This value is confirmed in Table 1 of the Si834x datasheet under "Continuous Output Current" for ordering part SI83416BFA-IFR, and applies under specified thermal conditions (TA ≤ 85 °C, PCB layout per recommended footprint).
Is SI83416BFA-IFR pin-compatible with other Si834x family members?
No - SI83416BFA-IFR is not pin-compatible with other Si834x variants. While all Si834x devices use the same DFN-32 package, pin functions differ significantly across configurations (e.g., SI83408AFA-IFR has different SPI routing and indicator pin assignments). The SI83416BFA-IFR pinout is unique to its parallel/SPI dual-interface, 2-channel low-side configuration and must be laid out per its specific assignment in the datasheet.
