Product details
Overview
SI8442BB-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 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 <11.8 mA per side at 100 Mbps (5 V), enabling high-speed isolation in motor control and isolated power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SI8442BB-D-ISR datasheet, SI8442BB-D-ISR pinout, SI8442BB-D-ISR application, or SI8442BB-D-ISR equivalent, this page provides verified timing specs, safety certifications (UL, CSA, VDE), supply current behavior at 2.7 V/3.3 V/5 V, and precise channel-to-channel skew values critical for synchronous signal integrity in industrial inverters and isolated ADC interfaces.
Technical Context
The SI8442BB-D-ISR implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation, delivering stable timing performance across –40 °C to +125 °C at 150 Mbps. Its dual-supply architecture (VDD1/VDD2) enables level-shifting between 2.7 V and 5.5 V domains while maintaining <1.5 ns pulse width distortion and <3 ns propagation delay skew.
Each of its four isolated channels features independent enable control, 85 Ω nominal output impedance, and supports tri-state output mode with 5–8 ns enable-to-data timing. The device achieves 2500 VRMS reinforced insulation with 8.0 mm clearance/creepage (wide-body SOIC) and meets IEC 60747-5-2, UL 1577, and CSA Component Notice 5A requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and isolated gate driver feedback loops. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 3.0–9.5 ns - ensures sub-10 ns latency for real-time control in motor drives and power inverters. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.5–1.8 ns - guarantees tight synchronization across all four channels for multi-phase PWM or ADC sampling. |
| Supply Current @ 100 Mbps | 11.8 mA per side (5 V) - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive industrial systems. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 25 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in noisy environments such as variable-frequency drives and EV traction inverters. |
| Isolation Voltage | 2500 VRMS (1 min) - certified for reinforced insulation in safety-critical applications per UL, CSA, and VDE standards. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SI8442BB-D-ISR is housed in a RoHS-compliant 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (package outline per Skyworks Doc #28), with 8.0 mm minimum creepage/clearance and 2500 VRMS isolation rating. Pin functions are symmetrically distributed across two sides to minimize PCB routing complexity in split-domain designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, VDD2 | Primary and secondary side supply inputs | Independent 2.7–5.5 V rails allow level translation; bypass capacitors required per side for noise suppression. |
| GND1, GND2 | Primary and secondary side ground references | Galvanically isolated grounds prevent ground-loop currents and enable floating domain operation. |
| IN1–IN4 | Input signal terminals (primary side) | Accept CMOS/TTL logic levels; VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V; input leakage ±10 µA ensures low standby current. |
| OUT1–OUT4 | Output signal terminals (secondary side) | Drive 15 pF loads with 3.8–5.0 ns rise/fall times; VOH ≥ VDD–0.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 4 mA. |
| EN1–EN4 | Per-channel enable inputs | Active-high control; outputs go high-impedance when disabled; enable-to-data valid time = 5–8 ns. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-channel isolation with independent enables | Enables selective channel shutdown in multi-signal systems (e.g., disable unused ADC channels to reduce power). |
| 0.5 ns typical channel-channel skew | Supports synchronized sampling across multiple isolated sensors or simultaneous gate drive signals in 3-phase inverters. |
| 25 kV/µs CMTI | Prevents data corruption during fast-switching events in SiC/GaN-based power converters with dV/dt > 50 V/ns. |
| 150 Mbps data rate with <9.5 ns max propagation delay | Meets timing budgets for isolated SPI clock rates up to 37.5 MHz (4x oversampling) and real-time encoder interfaces. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1) | Validated for automotive subsystems including battery management and onboard chargers operating at 125 °C ambient. |

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-16WB; higher 13.5 mA supply current at 100 Mbps (5 V); no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Targeted at industrial automation where automotive qualification is not required; lacks grade-1 temperature support. | Choose ADUM140D0BRWZ if legacy Analog Devices design ecosystem or specific layout compatibility is prioritized over automotive qualification. |
| ISO6741QDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps max, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16WB; lower speed but higher isolation rating; 10.5 mA @ 50 Mbps (5 V); AEC-Q100 qualified. | Suitable for high-isolation, lower-speed applications like HV battery monitoring where 150 Mbps is unnecessary. | Choose ISO6741QDWR when working-voltage requirements exceed 2500 VRMS and system data rates stay below 50 Mbps. |
Compared with ADUM140D0BRWZ and ISO6741QDWR, SI8442BB-D-ISR uniquely balances 150 Mbps speed, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and 2500 VRMS isolation in a single wide-body SOIC package-making it optimal for space-constrained automotive and industrial inverters requiring both high bandwidth and safety compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by SI8442BB-D-ISR?
The SI8442BB-D-ISR supports a maximum data rate of 150 Mbps, verified across the full operating temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) and supply voltages (2.7 V to 5.5 V). This specification applies specifically to the 'B' variant (e.g., SI8442BB-D-ISR) as confirmed in Tables 3–5 of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.7, distinguishing it from the 1 Mbps 'A' variant in the same family.
Does SI8442BB-D-ISR require external start-up initialization?
No, SI8442BB-D-ISR does not require start-up initialization. The device begins transmitting valid data within 15–40 µs after power application (tSU), with no firmware or configuration sequence needed. This zero-initialization behavior is explicitly stated in the Features section and confirmed in Table 3–5 timing notes for SI844xBx variants.
What safety certifications apply to SI8442BB-D-ISR?
SI8442BB-D-ISR holds UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 certifications. These cover reinforced insulation up to 2500 VRMS for 1 minute, with production testing at 3000 VRMS. Certification validity is tied to the wide-body SOIC package and applies to all Si844xBx devices per Table 6 and regulatory summary on page 14.
How does SI8442BB-D-ISR handle supply voltage mismatch between VDD1 and VDD2?
SI8442BB-D-ISR supports independent 2.7–5.5 V operation on VDD1 and VDD2, enabling true level-shifting (e.g., 3.3 V MCU to 5 V gate driver). Electrical characteristics-including VIH/VIL thresholds, VOH/VOL levels, and timing-are guaranteed across all combinations within this range, as validated in Tables 3–5 for 2.7 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V dual-rail configurations.
Is SI8442BB-D-ISR pin-compatible with other Si844x variants?
Yes, SI8442BB-D-ISR shares identical pinout and package (16-pin wide-body SOIC) with all Si8440/41/42/45 devices, including SI8442AB-D-ISR and SI8442BB-D-IS. Pin compatibility is confirmed in Skyworks' Package Outline (page 28) and Pin Descriptions (page 25), ensuring drop-in replacement within the same speed grade and channel count.
