Product details
Overview
SI8440BB-C-IS1R from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-channel digital isolator with reinforced 2500 VRMS isolation, rated for 150 Mbps data rate and –40 to 125 °C operation. It features <9.5 ns worst-case propagation delay, 0.5 ns typical channel-to-channel skew, and ultra-low power consumption (<3.8 mA per channel at 100 Mbps, 5 V). It serves as a high-reliability signal isolator in isolated gate drivers and industrial motor control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8440BB-C-IS1R datasheet, SI8440BB-C-IS1R pinout, SI8440BB-C-IS1R application, or SI8440BB-C-IS1R equivalent, this page delivers verified timing specs, SOIC-16 wide-body package details, safety certifications (UL, CSA, VDE), and real-world substitution guidance - all grounded in Skyworks Rev. 1.7 documentation.
Technical Context
The SI8440BB-C-IS1R implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation circuitry, enabling DC–150 Mbps signal transmission across galvanically isolated barriers. Its dual-supply architecture supports independent 2.70–5.5 V operation on each side (VDD1/VDD2), with precise timing control via internal clock recovery and low-jitter output drivers.
It integrates enable inputs per channel pair (EN1/EN2), supporting tri-state output control with 5–8 ns enable-to-data-valid latency. The device achieves 25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) and meets IEC 60747-5-2 (VDE 0884-2) for reinforced insulation up to 560 VPEAK.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces including SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and PWM feedback loops without external clocking. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–9.5 ns (typ/max) - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical applications like isolated ADC sampling triggers and real-time motor phase control. |
| Channel Skew | 0.5 ns typical - ensures synchronized multi-channel signal transfer essential for balanced three-phase inverter gate drive timing. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.70–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with both 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy logic, eliminating level-shifter requirements. |
| Isolation Rating | 2500 VRMS (1 min) - certified for reinforced insulation per UL 1577, CSA Component Notice 5A, and VDE IEC 60747-5-2. |
| Power @ 100 Mbps | <3.8 mA per channel (5 V) - reduces thermal load in densely packed industrial PCBs and extends battery life in portable isolated sensors. |
| CMTI | 25 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity during fast-switching events in SiC/GaN power stages and variable-frequency drives. |
Pinout & Package
SI8440BB-C-IS1R is housed in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (WB-SOIC-16) with 8.0 mm creepage/clearance, optimized for 2500 VRMS reinforced insulation. Pin numbering follows standard SOIC convention (pin 1 = top-left corner, counterclockwise).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Input Channels A1–A4 | Unidirectional CMOS-compatible inputs referenced to VDD1; accept 0–VDD1 logic levels with ±10 µA leakage. |
| 5, 6 | Enable Inputs EN1, EN2 | Active-high enables for channels A1/A2 (EN1) and A3/A4 (EN2); outputs go high-impedance when low. |
| 7, 8 | VDD1, GND1 | Primary-side supply (2.70–5.5 V) and ground - decoupling capacitor required per Skyworks layout guidelines. |
| 9, 10, 11, 12 | Output Channels B1–B4 | Isolated CMOS outputs referenced to VDD2; drive 4 mA sink/source with VOH ≥ VDD2–0.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V. |
| 13, 14 | VDD2, GND2 | Secondary-side supply (2.70–5.5 V) and ground - electrically isolated from VDD1/GND1; requires local bypass cap. |
| 15, 16 | NC, NC | No-connect pins - must remain unconnected per datasheet; not internally bonded or tested. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-channel isolation | Four independent bidirectional-capable channels in single WB-SOIC-16 footprint - replaces four discrete optocouplers, reducing board area by >60%. |
| Ultra-low power at speed | 3.6–5.4 mA total supply current at 100 Mbps (5 V), enabling thermally constrained designs like enclosed PLC modules and fanless inverters. |
| Precision timing | 1.5 ns pulse width distortion and 2 ns propagation delay skew - preserves signal integrity in high-resolution encoder interfaces and time-of-flight sensing. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (–40 to 125 °C) qualification - supports automotive subsystems including battery management system (BMS) isolation and onboard charger control. |
| No start-up initialization | Valid output within 15–40 µs of power application - eliminates boot-time delays in safety-critical systems requiring immediate fault monitoring. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2402BRWZ | 2500 VRMS rating, 25 Mbps max data rate, 30 ns max propagation delay, SOIC-16 narrow body (4.01 mm creepage) | Limited to lower-speed control loops; insufficient for 100+ Mbps SPI or encoder interfaces | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs speed needs and board space permits narrower SOIC footprint. |
| ISO6742QDWR | 5000 VRMS rating, 50 Mbps max data rate, 25 ns max propagation delay, SOIC-16 wide body (8.0 mm creepage) | Higher isolation but slower timing; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and 150 Mbps capability | Select for medical or high-voltage industrial systems where 5 kVRMS is mandated and 150 Mbps is unnecessary. |
Compared with ADUM2402BRWZ and ISO6742QDWR, SI8440BB-C-IS1R delivers 3× higher data rate and 3× tighter timing control in the same wide-body SOIC package, making it optimal for next-generation EV traction inverters and high-resolution industrial motion control - though not recommended for new designs per Skyworks migration guidance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SI8440BB-C-IS1R?
The SI8440BB-C-IS1R is rated for continuous operation from –40 °C to +125 °C at full 150 Mbps data rate and 5 V supply, validated across all electrical parameters in Table 3 of the Skyworks Rev. 1.7 datasheet. This range applies to both VDD1 and VDD2 sides independently, supporting deployment in engine bay or industrial enclosure environments.
Does SI8440BB-C-IS1R require external components for basic operation?
SI8440BB-C-IS1R requires only two 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitors - one between VDD1 and GND1, and another between VDD2 and GND2 - placed as close as possible to their respective pins. No pull-up/down resistors, level shifters, or external clocks are needed, per Skyworks Section 1 and layout recommendations on page 21.
What safety certifications apply to SI8440BB-C-IS1R?
SI8440BB-C-IS1R carries UL 1577 recognition (2500 VRMS, File E257455), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 certification (File 5006301-4880-0001). All certifications cover the 2500 VRMS isolation rating and apply specifically to the SI8440BB-C-IS1R variant in wide-body SOIC packaging.
How does the enable function work on SI8440BB-C-IS1R?
SI8440BB-C-IS1R has two enable inputs: EN1 controls channels B1/B2, and EN2 controls B3/B4. When an enable pin is low, its associated outputs enter high-impedance state within 7.0–9.2 ns (ten2). When high, outputs follow inputs with 5.0–8.0 ns latency (ten1), as defined in Figure 1 and Table 3 of the datasheet.
Is SI8440BB-C-IS1R pin-compatible with other Si844x variants?
Yes - SI8440BB-C-IS1R shares identical pinout, package, and electrical interface with all Si8440/41/42/45 family members in wide-body SOIC-16, including SI8441BB-C-IS1R and SI8442BB-C-IS1R. Differences are limited to data rate grade (150 Mbps vs. 1 Mbps/25 Mbps) and internal configuration, requiring no PCB changes for drop-in replacement within the same speed grade.
