Product details
Overview
SI8440BA-D-IS1 from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-channel digital isolator with reinforced isolation rated at 2500 VRMS, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate and worst-case propagation delay under 9.5 ns. It operates across 2.70–5.5 V supply rails on both sides, delivers ultra-low power consumption (e.g., <3.8 mA per channel at 100 Mbps/5 V), and targets high-noise industrial motor control and isolated ADC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8440BA-D-IS1 datasheet, SI8440BA-D-IS1 pinout, SI8440BA-D-IS1 application, or SI8440BA-D-IS1 equivalent, this page provides verified timing specs, safety certifications (UL, CSA, VDE), package mapping to SOIC-16 wide-body, and real-world design implications for isolation barrier integrity, CMTI immunity (25 kV/µs), and channel-to-channel skew (≤1.8 ns).
Technical Context
The SI8440BA-D-IS1 implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation circuitry, enabling DC-to-150 Mbps signal transmission without start-up initialization. Its dual-supply architecture supports independent VDD1/VDD2 rails (2.70–5.5 V), and internal enable logic controls output tri-state behavior with 5–8 ns enable-to-data timing.
It achieves precise timing via matched channel paths: typical pulse width distortion is 1.5 ns, channel-channel skew is ≤1.8 ns, and propagation delay skew between units is ≤3.0 ns. Safety compliance includes UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE 0884-2 (IEC 60747-5-2) with 560 VPEAK working voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links in motor drives and isolated communications. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–9.5 ns - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical feedback loops in power inverters. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | ≤1.8 ns - ensures synchronized sampling across four isolated channels in multi-channel ADC systems. |
| CMTI | 25 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity during fast-switching transients in SiC/GaN-based power stages. |
| Isolation Voltage | 2500 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial mains-connected equipment. |
| Supply Range | 2.70–5.5 V on both sides - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends. |
| Power @ 100 Mbps | <3.8 mA per channel at 5 V - reduces thermal load in densely packed isolated gate driver PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
SI8440BA-D-IS1 is housed in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (package code IS1), with creepage/clearance of 8.0 mm and reinforced insulation certified to UL, CSA, and VDE standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, Pin 1 | Primary-side supply | Power input for input-side logic and isolation transmitter; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor. |
| GND1, Pin 2 | Primary-side ground | Reference return for input-side signals; requires low-inductance connection to VDD1 bypass cap. |
| EN1, Pin 3 | Input-side enable | Active-high control: drives outputs low when deasserted; enables power-gating of input side. |
| IN1–IN4, Pins 4–7 | Digital input channels | Accept CMOS-level signals (VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V); no external pull-ups required. |
| VDD2, Pin 10 | Secondary-side supply | Independent power rail for output-side logic and receiver; supports level-shifting applications. |
| GND2, Pin 11 | Secondary-side ground | Isolated reference for output-side signals; must be separated from GND1 by ≥8 mm clearance. |
| EN2, Pin 12 | Secondary-side enable | Controls output tri-state; assertion delays data valid by 5–8 ns (ten1) and tri-state by 7–9.2 ns (ten2). |
| OUT1–OUT4, Pins 13–16 | Digital output channels | CMOS-compatible outputs (VOH ≥VDD2–0.4 V, VOL ≤0.4 V); 85 Ω nominal output impedance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-channel isolation | Four independent bidirectional signal paths in one SOIC-16 package, reducing BOM count vs. discrete optocouplers. |
| No start-up initialization | Valid data appears within 15–40 µs of power application (tSU), eliminating boot-time uncertainty in safety-critical systems. |
| Ultra-low power at speed | Draws only 3.6–5.4 mA per side at 100 Mbps/5 V, enabling thermally constrained designs in sealed enclosures. |
| High CMTI immunity | 25 kV/µs common-mode transient rejection prevents false triggering during IGBT/SiC switching noise events. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified for automotive-grade temperature operation (–40 to 125 °C), supporting hybrid electric vehicle traction inverter designs. |

Use Value: 150 Mbps capability supports high-frequency digital control loops (>1 MHz switching), reducing latency vs. optocouplers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM140D0BRIZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 2.5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 narrow-body; higher 5.5 mA/channel power at 100 Mbps. | Same data rate and isolation rating but narrower creepage (4.01 mm); not certified for 600 VRMS working voltage per CSA. | Prefer for space-constrained layouts where 4.9 mm creepage suffices and AEC-Q100 is not required. |
| ISO6741QDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 wide-body; lower speed but higher isolation rating and integrated LDO. | Supports 5 kVRMS systems (e.g., medical AC mains) but insufficient for 150 Mbps motor control loops. | Select when system-level isolation requirement exceeds 2.5 kVRMS and data rate ≤50 Mbps is acceptable. |
Compared with ADUM140D0BRIZ and ISO6741QDWR, SI8440BA-D-IS1 uniquely balances 150 Mbps speed, 2.5 kVRMS reinforced isolation, AEC-Q100 qualification, and 8.0 mm creepage-making it optimal for high-reliability industrial and automotive inverter control where timing precision and noise immunity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SI8440BA-D-IS1?
The SI8440BA-D-IS1 is rated for continuous operation from –40 °C to +125 °C at full 150 Mbps data rate and 5 V supply, validated across all process corners and voltage extremes per Table 1 of the datasheet. This range supports placement near power stages in motor drives and traction inverters without derating.
Does SI8440BA-D-IS1 require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its input pins?
No, SI8440BA-D-IS1 does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on IN1–IN4 pins. Its input structure accepts standard CMOS logic levels (VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V) and exhibits ±10 µA leakage, making it compatible with direct MCU GPIO connections without additional biasing components.
What safety certifications apply to SI8440BA-D-IS1?
SI8440BA-D-IS1 holds UL 1577 recognition (2500 VRMS, 1 min), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE 0884-2 certification (IEC 60747-5-2). These cover reinforced insulation with 560 VPEAK working voltage and are fully documented in Tables 6 and 7 of the official Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.7.
How does the enable function work on SI8440BA-D-IS1?
SI8440BA-D-IS1 features independent EN1 (input-side) and EN2 (output-side) pins. When EN1 is low, input receivers are disabled and outputs go low; when EN2 is low, outputs enter high-impedance state. Enable-to-data timing is 5–8 ns (ten1) and enable-to-tri-state is 7–9.2 ns (ten2), per Figure 1 and Table 3.
Is SI8440BA-D-IS1 pin-compatible with other Si844x variants?
Yes, SI8440BA-D-IS1 shares identical pinout and package (SOIC-16 wide-body) with all Si8440/41/42/45 family members, including SI8441BA-D-IS1 and SI8442BA-D-IS1. Channel count, directionality, and enable functionality are consistent; only data rate and internal configuration differ across variants.
