Product details
Overview
SI8441AA-C-IS1 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 with worst-case propagation delay <9.5 ns, 0.5 ns channel-channel skew, and 25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity. It operates across 2.70–5.5 V supply rails and delivers <8.0 mA per channel at 100 Mbps (5 V), enabling high-speed isolated communication in motor control and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI8441AA-C-IS1 datasheet, SI8441AA-C-IS1 pinout, SI8441AA-C-IS1 application, or SI8441AA-C-IS1 equivalent, this device serves as a reinforced-isolation solution for bidirectional signal transfer across galvanic barriers where timing precision, low power, and AEC-Q100 qualification are critical - especially in isolated ADC interfaces, switch-mode power supplies, and hybrid electric vehicle subsystems.
Technical Context
The SI8441AA-C-IS1 implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation circuitry, delivering deterministic timing without start-up initialization. Its dual-supply architecture (VDD1/VDD2) supports independent 2.70–5.5 V operation on each side, enabling level-shifting between 3.3 V and 5 V domains while maintaining 2500 VRMS isolation rating.
It features an enable input (ENx) that places outputs in high-impedance state within 9.2 ns, supporting bus arbitration and dynamic power management. All four channels are fully functional with identical timing specs: 6 ns minimum pulse width, 1.5 ns typical pulse width distortion, and 2 ns propagation delay skew - verified across –40 to +125 °C at 150 Mbps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and isolated gate driver feedback loops. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–9.5 ns - ensures sub-10 ns latency for real-time control in motor drives and power inverters. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.5 ns max - enables precise synchronization of multiple isolated signals (e.g., PWM pairs in three-phase inverters). |
| Supply Current @ 100 Mbps | <10 mA per channel at 5 V - reduces thermal load and simplifies power budgeting in compact industrial modules. |
| Isolation Voltage | 2500 VRMS (1 min) - certified to UL 1577, CSA Component Notice 5A, and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 for reinforced insulation. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 25 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in noisy environments such as variable-frequency drives and EV battery management systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions at full data rate. |
Pinout & Package
SI8441AA-C-IS1 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, notch indicator).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Primary-side supply | Power for input-side logic and channel 1–2 drivers; accepts 2.70–5.5 V independently of VDD2. |
| GND1 | Primary-side ground | Reference for inputs and channel 1–2 outputs; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier. |
| IN1, IN2 | Input signals (side 1) | Digital inputs referenced to GND1; compatible with CMOS/LVTTL logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V). |
| EN1, EN2 | Enable controls (side 1) | Active-high enables output drivers for IN1/IN2; tri-states outputs when low (ten2 ≤ 9.2 ns). |
| VDD2 | Secondary-side supply | Power for output-side logic and channel 3–4 drivers; independent 2.70–5.5 V rail enables level shifting. |
| GND2 | Secondary-side ground | Reference for outputs and channel 3–4 receivers; galvanically isolated from GND1. |
| OUT1, OUT2 | Isolated outputs (side 2) | CMOS-compatible outputs referenced to GND2; VOH ≥ VDD2–0.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 4 mA sink. |
| EN3, EN4 | Enable controls (side 2) | Active-high enables output drivers for OUT1/OUT2; provides independent channel gating on secondary side. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-channel isolation | Four independent bidirectional signal paths in single WB-SOIC-16 package - reduces PCB area vs. discrete optocouplers or dual isolators. |
| No start-up initialization | Valid output data available within 40 µs of power application - eliminates boot-time delays in safety-critical systems. |
| Ultra-low power at speed | <8.0 mA per channel at 100 Mbps (5 V) - enables thermally constrained designs like enclosed motor drives and portable test equipment. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 0 (–40 to +125 °C) qualification - supports deployment in automotive subsystems including battery disconnect units and onboard chargers. |
| Controlled output impedance | ~85 Ω nominal series termination - minimizes reflections on controlled-impedance PCB traces without external resistors. |

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 10.5 ns max propagation delay; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Targeted at industrial automation, not automotive; narrower creepage (4.01 mm) limits use in high-pollution environments. | Preferred where board space is constrained and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| ISO6741QDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 wide body; lower speed but higher isolation; AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40 to +125 °C). | Suited for high-isolation safety-critical subsystems (e.g., EV traction inverter control) where 150 Mbps is not required. | Select when >3.75 kVRMS working voltage or enhanced partial discharge performance is mandated. |
Compared with ADUM140D0BRWZ and ISO6741QDWR, SI8441AA-C-IS1 uniquely balances 150 Mbps speed, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification, and 2500 VRMS isolation in a wide-body SOIC - making it optimal for high-speed, thermally demanding automotive and industrial control applications where timing fidelity and reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by SI8441AA-C-IS1?
The SI8441AA-C-IS1 supports a maximum data rate of 150 Mbps, verified across its full operating temperature range (–40 to +125 °C) and supply voltage range (2.70–5.5 V). This performance is specified for the 'Bx' variant (e.g., SI8441BB), and SI8441AA-C-IS1 is confirmed as a 150 Mbps-rated part per Skyworks' ordering guide and electrical characteristics tables.
Does SI8441AA-C-IS1 require external bypass capacitors?
Yes, SI8441AA-C-IS1 requires external 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitors placed close to each VDD pin (VDD1 and VDD2) and their respective ground pins (GND1 and GND2). The datasheet explicitly states "only VDD bypass capacitors are required" for stable operation, with no additional external components needed for basic functionality.
Is SI8441AA-C-IS1 pin-compatible with other Si844x variants?
SI8441AA-C-IS1 shares the same 16-pin wide-body SOIC package and pinout with all Si8440/41/42/45 devices in the family, including SI8441AB-C-IS1 and SI8441BB-C-IS1. Pin functions (IN1–IN2, EN1–EN2, VDD1/GND1, OUT1–OUT2, EN3–EN4, VDD2/GND2) are identical across variants - enabling drop-in replacement where speed and supply requirements align.
What safety certifications apply to SI8441AA-C-IS1?
SI8441AA-C-IS1 is certified to UL 1577 (2500 VRMS, 1 min), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2. These approvals cover reinforced insulation with 560 Vpeak working voltage and are validated for the wide-body SOIC package used in SI8441AA-C-IS1, as confirmed in Tables 6 and 7 of the datasheet.
Can SI8441AA-C-IS1 operate with different supply voltages on each side?
Yes, SI8441AA-C-IS1 supports independent supply rails: VDD1 (2.70–5.5 V) powers the input side and channels 1–2, while VDD2 (2.70–5.5 V) powers the output side and channels 3–4. This allows level-shifting between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V actuators or sensors without external level translators.
