Product details
Overview
SI8445BB-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 across 2.70–5.5 V supply rails and delivers <6 mA per channel at 100 Mbps (5 V), enabling high-speed signal isolation in motor control and isolated power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SI8445BB-D-ISR datasheet, SI8445BB-D-ISR pinout, SI8445BB-D-ISR application, or SI8445BB-D-ISR equivalent, this page provides verified timing specs, safety certifications (UL/CSA/VDE), channel skew (<1.8 ns), CMTI (25 kV/µs), and package-specific layout guidance for industrial and automotive-grade designs.
Technical Context
The SI8445BB-D-ISR implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation, delivering precise timing performance: typical pulse width distortion of 1.5 ns and channel-to-channel skew as low as 0.5 ns. Its dual-supply architecture (VDD1/VDD2) enables independent 2.70–5.5 V operation on each side, supporting level-shifting between disparate logic domains.
It features an active-enable input (ENx) with 5–8 ns enable-to-data-valid latency and supports tri-state output control. The device is AEC-Q100 qualified and rated for –40 °C to +125 °C ambient operation at full 150 Mbps data rate, with 60-year lifetime at rated working voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces (e.g., SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, isolated ADC/DAC clocking). |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–9.5 ns (typ/max) - ensures tight timing budgets in real-time motor control and power converter feedback loops. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.5–1.8 ns (typ/max) - maintains phase alignment across four isolated channels for synchronized sampling or PWM distribution. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 25 kV/µs - sustains reliable operation in noisy environments like inverters and industrial drives with fast-switching SiC/GaN FETs. |
| Isolation Voltage | 2500 VRMS (1 min) - certified for reinforced insulation per UL 1577, CSA Component Notice 5A, and VDE IEC 60747-5-2. |
| Supply Range | 2.70–5.5 V on both sides - enables interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| Power Consumption | <6 mA per channel at 100 Mbps (5 V) - reduces thermal load and extends battery life in isolated sensor nodes and portable equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM140D0BRWZ | Quad-channel, 150 Mbps, 3.0–5.5 V, 2.5 kVRMS, 16-pin SOIC wide-body; propagation delay 10.5 ns (max), CMTI 75 kV/µs. | Higher CMTI suits ultra-noisy environments (e.g., rail traction); slightly higher propagation delay may limit loop bandwidth vs. SI8445BB-D-ISR. | Select when extreme noise immunity outweighs sub-ns timing precision; verify layout compatibility with ADI's recommended ground separation. |
| ISO6741QDWR | Quad-channel, 50 Mbps, 1.71–5.5 V, 5 kVRMS, 16-pin SOIC wide-body; propagation delay 11 ns (max), AEC-Q100 qualified. | Higher isolation rating (5 kVRMS) targets medical and high-voltage industrial systems; lower data rate limits use in high-speed SPI or encoder interfaces. | Choose for applications requiring >2.5 kVRMS isolation with automotive qualification; not suitable for 100+ Mbps serial links. |
Compared with ADUM140D0BRWZ and ISO6741QDWR, SI8445BB-D-ISR offers the lowest propagation delay (9.5 ns max) and best channel matching (0.5 ns skew) among wide-body SOIC quad isolators, making it optimal for timing-critical motor control and high-resolution DAQ-while ADUM140D0BRWZ trades delay for superior CMTI, and ISO6741QDWR prioritizes isolation strength over speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SI8445BB-D-ISR at full 150 Mbps data rate?
The SI8445BB-D-ISR is rated for continuous operation from –40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature at 150 Mbps, as confirmed in Table 1 of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.7. This specification applies to both wide-body and narrow-body SOIC packages under 15 pF load and standard supply conditions (VDD = 5 V ±10%). SI8445BB-D-ISR maintains timing and isolation integrity across this full range without derating.
Does SI8445BB-D-ISR require external bypass capacitors beyond the recommended VDD decoupling?
SI8445BB-D-ISR requires only 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitors on each VDD pin (VDD1 and VDD2), placed as close as possible to the respective pins. No additional external components-such as series resistors, termination networks, or ferrite beads-are required for basic operation. The datasheet explicitly states "only VDD bypass capacitors are required" for ease of design, and SI8445BB-D-ISR integrates internal series termination (~85 Ω) to minimize external component count.
Is SI8445BB-D-ISR pin-compatible with other members of the Si8440/41/42/45 family?
Yes, SI8445BB-D-ISR shares identical pinout and package (16-pin wide-body SOIC) with all Si844xBx variants, including SI8440BB-D-ISR, SI8441BB-D-ISR, and SI8442BB-D-ISR. Channel count, enable functionality, and supply pin assignments are consistent across the Bx-speed grade. However, data rate capability differs: SI8445BB-D-ISR supports 150 Mbps, whereas SI8440BB-D-ISR is limited to 1 Mbps-so functional substitution requires verification of speed requirements.
What safety certifications apply specifically to SI8445BB-D-ISR?
SI8445BB-D-ISR carries UL 1577 recognition (2500 VRMS, File E257455), CSA Component Notice 5A certification (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 approval (File 5006301-4880-0001). All certifications cover the 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating and apply to the wide-body SOIC package. Regulatory testing includes 1-second withstand at 3.0 kVRMS and partial discharge <5 pC per IEC 60747-5-2.
Can SI8445BB-D-ISR operate with mismatched supply voltages on VDD1 and VDD2?
Yes, SI8445BB-D-ISR supports independent supply rails: VDD1 (side 1) and VDD2 (side 2) each operate from 2.70 V to 5.5 V, with no requirement for voltage matching. This enables level translation-for example, interfacing a 3.3 V FPGA (VDD1) to a 5 V analog subsystem (VDD2). Electrical characteristics (e.g., VIH/VIL thresholds, output drive) are specified per-side and remain valid across the full supply range per Skyworks Table 3 and Table 4.
