Product details
Overview
SI8442BB-D-IS1 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, 0.5–1.8 ns channel-channel skew, and ultra-low power consumption (11.8 mA per side at 100 Mbps, 5 V). It serves as a high-reliability signal isolator in isolated ADC interfaces and motor control gate drivers.
For engineers reviewing the SI8442BB-D-IS1 datasheet, SI8442BB-D-IS1 pinout, SI8442BB-D-IS1 application, or SI8442BB-D-IS1 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing specs, SOIC-16 wide-body package details, safety certifications (UL, CSA, VDE), and real-world substitution guidance for industrial and automotive isolation designs.
Technical Context
The SI8442BB-D-IS1 implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation across four independent bidirectional channels. Its dual-supply architecture (VDD1/VDD2 = 2.7–5.5 V) enables level-shifting between isolated domains while maintaining precise timing-propagation delay skew ≤3.0 ns and pulse width distortion ≤2.5 ns at 150 Mbps.
It integrates enable-controlled output tri-state functionality (ten1 ≤8.0 ns, ten2 ≤9.2 ns), supports 25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity, and meets IEC 60747-5-2 (VDE 0884-2) for reinforced insulation up to 560 VPEAK working voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 150 Mbps maximum - supports high-speed serial links like SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and isolated PWM feedback. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–9.5 ns - ensures tight timing alignment in closed-loop motor control and fast ADC sampling systems. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.5–1.8 ns - enables synchronous multi-channel acquisition without inter-channel timing error compensation. |
| Isolation Voltage | 2500 VRMS (1 min) - certified for reinforced insulation in industrial PLCs and EV battery management systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.70–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with both 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy logic or analog circuitry. |
| Power Consumption | 11.8 mA per side at 100 Mbps (5 V) - reduces thermal load in densely packed isolated power supply controllers. |
| CMTI | 25 kV/µs minimum - prevents data corruption during fast-switching events in IGBT/MOSFET gate driver circuits. |

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 (4.01 mm creepage) | Limited to 105 °C max ambient; lower creepage limits restrict use in high-pollution industrial zones. | Prefer SI8442BB-D-IS1 where reinforced insulation, 125 °C operation, or ≥8.0 mm creepage is required. |
| ISO6741QDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 wide body, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Lower data rate; higher isolation voltage but lacks 150 Mbps capability for high-resolution encoder or fast ADC links. | Select SI8442BB-D-IS1 when 150 Mbps speed and sub-2 ns skew are mandatory for real-time control. |
Compared with ADUM140D0BRIZ and ISO6741QDWR, the SI8442BB-D-IS1 uniquely combines 150 Mbps speed, 125 °C operation, 2500 VRMS reinforced isolation, and 0.5 ns typical channel skew-making it optimal for high-fidelity motor control and isolated high-speed data acquisition where timing fidelity and thermal resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SI8442BB-D-IS1?
The SI8442BB-D-IS1 is rated for continuous operation from –40 to 125 °C ambient temperature at full 150 Mbps data rate and 5 V supply. This specification is validated across both wide-body SOIC package variants and aligns with AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification requirements for automotive under-hood use cases.
Does SI8442BB-D-IS1 support independent enable control for each channel?
No, SI8442BB-D-IS1 provides two global enable inputs: EN1 controls all four A-side outputs (pins 1–4), and EN2 controls all four B-side outputs (pins 9–12). There is no per-channel enable; both enables assert tri-state simultaneously on their respective sides with ten2 ≤9.2 ns delay.
What safety certifications apply to SI8442BB-D-IS1?
SI8442BB-D-IS1 carries UL 1577 recognition (2500 VRMS, 1 min), CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 certification. These cover reinforced insulation up to 560 VPEAK working voltage and are production-tested to 3000 VRMS for 1 second.
Can SI8442BB-D-IS1 operate with mismatched supply voltages on VDD1 and VDD2?
Yes, SI8442BB-D-IS1 supports independent 2.70–5.5 V supplies on VDD1 and VDD2, enabling true level translation-for example, 3.3 V MCU logic on side A and 5 V analog front-end on side B-without external level shifters or voltage translators.
What is the minimum pulse width supported by SI8442BB-D-IS1 at 150 Mbps?
At 150 Mbps operation, SI8442BB-D-IS1 guarantees a minimum pulse width of 6.0 ns (typical), as specified in Table 3 timing characteristics. This enables reliable transmission of narrow pulses used in high-frequency PWM control and fast edge-triggered interrupts.
