Product details
Overview
SI8440BA-D-IS1R from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-channel digital isolator with reinforced 2500 VRMS isolation, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate and worst-case propagation delay under 9.5 ns. It operates from 2.70–5.5 V supply 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-IS1R datasheet, SI8440BA-D-IS1R pinout, SI8440BA-D-IS1R application, or SI8440BA-D-IS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin wide-body SOIC package, AEC-Q100 qualification, 25 kV/µs CMTI, –40 to 125 °C operation at full speed, and precise timing specs including ≤1.8 ns channel-channel skew.
Technical Context
The SI8440BA-D-IS1R implements capacitive isolation with differential CMOS signaling across four independent channels, enabling bidirectional or unidirectional data transfer without start-up initialization. Its architecture supports simultaneous operation across dual supply domains (VDD1/VDD2) with independent voltage ranges and guarantees stable timing performance over temperature and voltage.
It features an enable input per side (EN1/EN2) controlling output tri-state behavior, with defined timing windows (e.g., 5–8 ns enable-to-data-valid), and integrates on-chip 85 Ω output impedance for controlled-impedance PCB routing. Safety certification covers UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA 5A, and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 (560 VPEAK working voltage).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SI8440BA-D-IS1R is housed in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (WB-SOIC-16) with 8.0 mm creepage/clearance, optimized for high-voltage isolation integrity. Pin assignments follow standard Si8440Bx channel mapping with dual-side enable and independent VDD/GND pairs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Primary-side inputs (IN1–IN4) | Accept TTL/CMOS logic signals referenced to VDD1; VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | Primary-side outputs (OUT1–OUT4) | Drive loads up to 4 mA with VOH ≥VDD1–0.4 V and VOL ≤0.4 V. |
| 9, 10, 11, 12 | Secondary-side outputs (OUT5–OUT8) | Isolated outputs referenced to VDD2; match primary-side timing specs with ≤1.8 ns skew. |
| 13, 14, 15, 16 | Secondary-side inputs (IN5–IN8) | Accept logic signals referenced to VDD2; support bidirectional signal flow when paired with EN2. |
| 1, 9 | VDD1 / VDD2 | Independent power supplies per side; each requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor. |
| 8, 16 | GND1 / GND2 | Separate ground references essential to maintain isolation barrier integrity. |
| EN1 (Pin 15) | Primary-side enable | Active-high control: drives OUT1–OUT4 low when disabled; 5–8 ns enable-to-valid delay. |
| EN2 (Pin 14) | Secondary-side enable | Active-high control: drives OUT5–OUT8 low when disabled; same timing as EN1. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-channel isolation | Four independent bidirectional channels in one WB-SOIC-16 package reduce board space vs. discrete optocouplers. |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 3.8 mA per channel at 5 V - cuts thermal load in dense power-conversion PCB layouts. |
| Precision timing | ≤1.8 ns channel-channel skew and ≤2.5 ns pulse width distortion - preserves signal integrity in high-resolution encoder interfaces. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (–40 to 125 °C) qualification - validates reliability for automotive traction inverter subsystems. |
| No start-up initialization | Immediate data pass-through after power-on - eliminates boot-time delays in safety-critical control systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM140D0BRWZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 2.5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 narrow body; higher 5.5 mA/channel @100 Mbps (5 V). | Limited to 105 °C max ambient; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial designs where automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| ISO6741QDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 wide body; lower power but halved data rate. | Qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40 to 150 °C); higher isolation rating suits medical/high-voltage systems. | Choose when >2.5 kVRMS isolation or extended temperature range outweighs speed requirement. |
Compared with ADUM140D0BRWZ and ISO6741QDWR, SI8440BA-D-IS1R uniquely balances 150 Mbps speed, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and 2500 VRMS isolation in a wide-body SOIC-making it optimal for automotive-grade motor control where timing precision and thermal robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SI8440BA-D-IS1R at full 150 Mbps data rate?
The SI8440BA-D-IS1R is fully specified for operation from –40 to 125 °C at 150 Mbps, with all timing and electrical parameters guaranteed across this range. This makes SI8440BA-D-IS1R suitable for under-hood automotive applications and high-temperature industrial environments where thermal derating of speed is unacceptable.
Does SI8440BA-D-IS1R require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its input pins?
No, SI8440BA-D-IS1R does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its input pins. Its inputs have defined VIH (≥2.0 V) and VIL (≤0.8 V) thresholds and internal biasing sufficient for direct connection to CMOS/TTL logic. External resistors are only needed if system-level noise immunity or fail-safe default states are required beyond the device's native specifications.
How does the enable function operate on SI8440BA-D-IS1R?
SI8440BA-D-IS1R has two independent enable inputs: EN1 (Pin 15) controls primary-side outputs (OUT1–OUT4), and EN2 (Pin 14) controls secondary-side outputs (OUT5–OUT8). When asserted high, outputs reflect input states; when low, outputs go to logic low (not high-impedance). Enable-to-data-valid delay is 5–8 ns, enabling fast dynamic channel gating in real-time control systems.
What safety certifications apply to SI8440BA-D-IS1R?
SI8440BA-D-IS1R is certified to UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 (560 VPEAK). These cover reinforced insulation for industrial and automotive applications. Certification applies specifically to the 2.5 kVRMS-rated wide-body SOIC variant, with production testing at 3.0 kVRMS for 1 second.
Can SI8440BA-D-IS1R operate with different supply voltages on each side?
Yes, SI8440BA-D-IS1R supports independent supply voltages on VDD1 and VDD2, each ranging from 2.70 V to 5.5 V. This allows interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends or legacy logic, with full timing and isolation specifications maintained regardless of voltage combination - a key advantage over fixed-rail isolators.
