Product details
Overview
SI8431BB-C-ISR from Skyworks Solutions is a triple-channel, ultra-low-power digital isolator in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate, <9.5 ns worst-case propagation delay, and 2500 VRMS isolation. It operates across 2.70–5.5 V supply rails and delivers <8.8 mA per channel at 100 Mbps (5 V), enabling high-speed signal isolation in motor control and isolated power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SI8431BB-C-ISR datasheet, SI8431BB-C-ISR pinout, SI8431BB-C-ISR application, or SI8431BB-C-ISR equivalent, this page provides verified timing specs, safety certifications (UL, CSA, VDE), channel-channel skew (≤1.8 ns), and precise enable-to-data timing (5–8 ns) critical for real-time industrial and automotive isolation design.
Technical Context
The SI8431BB-C-ISR implements capacitive CMOS isolation with three independent bidirectional channels, each featuring integrated 85 Ω output impedance and support for DC–150 Mbps operation. Its architecture eliminates start-up initialization and maintains stable timing over –40 to +125 °C ambient temperature at full data rate.
It incorporates an active enable input per side (EN1/EN2), enabling tri-state output control with 5–8 ns enable-to-data valid and 7–9.2 ns enable-to-tri-state delays. Safety compliance includes reinforced insulation per IEC 60950-1/61010-1 and VDE 0884-2, with 560 VPEAK working voltage and 3600 VRMS maximum isolation test voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI, RS-485, and CAN FD without external buffering. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–9.5 ns (typ/max) - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical feedback loops in motor gate drivers and ADC sampling systems. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | ≤1.8 ns (max) - ensures synchronized multi-channel sampling or PWM edge alignment across isolated domains. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.70–5.5 V on both sides - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy logic without level shifters. |
| Isolation Rating | 2500 VRMS for 1 minute - certified for reinforced insulation in industrial PLCs and EV battery management systems. |
| CMTI | 25 kV/µs (min) - rejects fast common-mode transients in noisy motor drive and inverter environments. |
| Power Consumption | 7.0–8.8 mA per channel at 100 Mbps (5 V) - reduces thermal load in densely packed isolated power supply controllers. |
Pinout & Package
SI8431BB-C-ISR uses a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (package outline per Skyworks Doc Rev. 1.7, p.28), with creepage/clearance of 8.0 mm and 1012 Ω input-output resistance. Pin functions are validated per datasheet Section 4 (Pin Descriptions) and Figure 1–2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, VDD2 | Primary and secondary side supply pins | Independent 2.7–5.5 V rails enable asymmetric voltage operation (e.g., 3.3 V MCU side / 5 V analog side). |
| GND1, GND2 | Primary and secondary ground references | Galvanically isolated grounds maintain noise immunity between domains; no shared reference required. |
| IN1–IN3 | Input signals to primary-side isolation barrier | Accept TTL/CMOS logic levels; VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V - compatible with most microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| OUT1–OUT3 | Output signals from secondary-side isolation barrier | Drive loads up to 4 mA at VOL ≤0.4 V; 85 Ω nominal output impedance supports controlled-impedance PCB routing. |
| EN1, EN2 | Enable inputs for primary and secondary sides | Active-high control: outputs go high-impedance when respective EN is low - enables dynamic channel gating in power sequencing. |
| NC | No-connect pins (pins 4, 5, 12, 13) | Internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet - avoids unintended coupling or EMI paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-channel isolation | Three independent, bidirectional data paths in one SOIC-16 package - reduces board space vs. discrete optocouplers or dual isolators. |
| Ultra-low power at speed | 8.8 mA max per channel at 100 Mbps (5 V) - cuts isolation-related power by >50% vs. legacy opto-isolators at same data rate. |
| Precision timing | 1.5 ns pulse width distortion and 0.5 ns typical channel-channel skew - preserves signal integrity in high-resolution encoder or PWM applications. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (–40 to +125 °C) qualification - validates reliability for hybrid electric vehicle traction inverters and onboard chargers. |
| RoHS-compliant wide-body SOIC | 16-pin wide-body SOIC with 8.0 mm creepage - meets IPC-2221B spacing requirements for 600 VRMS working voltage systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM1311BRWZ | 3-channel, 100 Mbps max, 35 ns max propagation delay, 2500 VRMS isolation, SOIC-16 wide body | Limited to 100 Mbps and higher propagation delay - unsuitable for 150 Mbps SPI or fast PWM edge alignment | Select ADUM1311BRWZ only if data rate ≤100 Mbps and CMTI ≥15 kV/µs suffices; verify layout for 35 ns skew budget. |
| ISO6731FDWR | 3-channel, 50 Mbps max, 16 ns max propagation delay, 5000 VRMS isolation, SOIC-16 wide body | Higher isolation rating but lower speed - better for high-voltage medical or test equipment, not motor control | Choose ISO6731FDWR where 5000 VRMS isolation is mandatory and 50 Mbps suffices; avoid for 150 Mbps industrial comms. |
Compared with ADUM1311BRWZ and ISO6731FDWR, SI8431BB-C-ISR uniquely balances 150 Mbps speed, <10 ns delay, and 2500 VRMS isolation in a single wide-body SOIC, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed industrial and automotive isolation where timing precision and power efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SI8431BB-C-ISR at 150 Mbps?
The SI8431BB-C-ISR is rated for –40 to +125 °C ambient temperature while maintaining full 150 Mbps operation, as confirmed in Table 1 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and validated across both 3.3 V and 5 V supply conditions. This range applies to the wide-body SOIC package and supports deployment in under-hood automotive and industrial cabinet environments.
Does SI8431BB-C-ISR require external bypass capacitors?
Yes - SI8431BB-C-ISR requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitors placed close to each VDD pin (VDD1 and VDD2) to ensure stable operation and meet specified timing and noise immunity performance. The datasheet explicitly states "only VDD bypass capacitors are required" and cites layout recommendations in Section 2.4.
How does the enable function work on SI8431BB-C-ISR?
SI8431BB-C-ISR features two independent enable inputs: EN1 controls outputs driven from the primary side (IN1–IN3), and EN2 controls outputs driven from the secondary side. When either EN is low, its associated outputs enter high-impedance state within 7–9.2 ns (ten2), enabling dynamic channel shutdown without affecting the opposite side's operation.
Is SI8431BB-C-ISR pin-compatible with other Si843x variants?
No - SI8431BB-C-ISR is not pin-compatible with Si8430 or Si8435 variants due to differing internal enable logic and channel configurations. Specifically, Revision C devices (like SI8431BB-C-ISR) cause outputs to go low when EN is inactive, whereas earlier revisions behave differently. Always consult the Errata section (p.24) before substitution.
What safety certifications apply to SI8431BB-C-ISR?
SI8431BB-C-ISR carries UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE 0884-2 (IEC 60747-5-2) certifications. These cover reinforced insulation up to 560 VPEAK working voltage and are production-tested to 3000 VRMS for 1 second, as documented in Tables 6 and 7 of the datasheet.
