Product details
Overview
SI8440BB-D-ISR from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-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 2.5 kVRMS isolation. It operates from 2.70–5.5 V on both sides and delivers <6 mA per channel at 100 Mbps (5 V), enabling high-speed signal isolation in motor control and isolated ADC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8440BB-D-ISR datasheet, SI8440BB-D-ISR pinout, SI8440BB-D-ISR application, or SI8440BB-D-ISR equivalent, this page provides verified timing specs, safety certifications (UL/CSA/VDE), supply current behavior across voltage and data rates, and precise channel-to-channel skew (<1.8 ns) for deterministic real-time system design.
Technical Context
The SI8440BB-D-ISR implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation, delivering DC-to-150 Mbps operation without start-up initialization. Its dual-supply architecture supports independent 2.70–5.5 V domains on primary and secondary sides, enabling level-shifting between 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems.
It features an enable input per side (EN1/EN2), allowing dynamic power gating of isolated channels. With 25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity and <1.5 ns pulse width distortion, it maintains signal integrity in noisy industrial environments such as inverter gate drive feedback loops.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | VDD1 (Primary-side supply) | Power input for input-side logic; accepts 2.70–5.5 V; bypass capacitor required. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | GND1 (Primary-side ground) | Reference for input-side signals; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier. |
| 9, 10, 11, 12 | GND2 (Secondary-side ground) | Reference for output-side signals; galvanically isolated from GND1. |
| 13, 14, 15, 16 | VDD2 (Secondary-side supply) | Power input for output-side logic; independent 2.70–5.5 V domain; enables level shifting. |
| 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 | INx / OUTx (Bidirectional channel pins) | Pins 1/2 = CH1; 3/4 = CH2; 5/6 = CH3; 7/8 = CH4 - each pair crosses isolation barrier with direction determined by internal configuration. |
| 2, 4, 6, 8 | EN1 (Primary enable) | Active-high enable for all primary-side inputs; pulls outputs low when disabled (Revision C). |
| 10, 12, 14, 16 | EN2 (Secondary enable) | Active-high enable for all secondary-side outputs; tri-states outputs when disabled. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2402BRWZ | 2.5 kVRMS, 25 Mbps max, 35 ns max propagation delay, 5 V only supply | Limited to lower-speed control loops; no 2.7 V operation or AEC-Q100 qualification | Prefer ADUM2402BRWZ where cost sensitivity outweighs speed and extended voltage range requirements. |

The SI8440BB-D-ISR supports a maximum data rate of 150 Mbps, verified across its full operating temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) and supply voltage range (2.70–5.5 V). This performance is specified for the "Bx" variant in the Si844x family and confirmed in Tables 3–5 of the official Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.7. SI8440BB-D-ISR achieves this rate with <9.5 ns worst-case propagation delay and <2.5 ns pulse width distortion.
Does the SI8440BB-D-ISR require external components for basic operation?
No, the SI8440BB-D-ISR requires only VDD bypass capacitors (0.1 µF ceramic recommended per supply pin) for stable operation - no external resistors, transformers, or initialization firmware are needed. Its capacitive isolation architecture eliminates start-up delays, and the enable inputs (EN1/EN2) are optional for power-gating. SI8440BB-D-ISR is fully functional immediately after power application, with valid output within 40 µs.

The SI8440BB-D-ISR is certified to UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 (reinforced insulation). These certifications cover the 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating and are validated for the wide-body SOIC package used in SI8440BB-D-ISR. Regulatory test data is documented in Skyworks' certification files E257455 (UL), 232873 (CSA), and 5006301-4880-0001 (VDE).
How does the SI8440BB-D-ISR handle supply voltage mismatch between input and output sides?
The SI8440BB-D-ISR supports independent 2.70–5.5 V supplies on VDD1 (input side) and VDD2 (output side), enabling seamless level shifting - for example, 3.3 V MCU logic to 5 V PLC I/O. Input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive strength (VOH ≥ VDD–0.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V) are guaranteed across the full voltage range. SI8440BB-D-ISR maintains timing specs and isolation integrity regardless of VDD1/VDD2 combination.
Is the SI8440BB-D-ISR suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the SI8440BB-D-ISR is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1, –40 °C to +125 °C) and used in hybrid electric vehicle subsystems including battery management system (BMS) monitoring and traction inverter current sensing. Its 2.5 kVRMS isolation, 25 kV/µs CMTI, and 60-year lifetime at rated voltage meet stringent automotive reliability requirements.
