Product details
Overview
SI8450AB-B-IS1 from Skyworks Solutions is a five-channel, ultra-low-power digital isolator in a 16-pin narrow-body SOIC package, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate with worst-case propagation delay <9.5 ns, 2.5 kVRMS isolation, and operation from 2.70–5.5 V across –40 to +125 °C. It serves as a high-reliability signal barrier in isolated power supplies and motor control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8450AB-B-IS1 datasheet, SI8450AB-B-IS1 pinout, SI8450AB-B-IS1 application, or SI8450AB-B-IS1 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing specs, safety certifications (UL/CSA/VDE), channel-specific supply current at 100 Mbps, CMTI ≥25 kV/µs, and precise skew metrics critical for real-time industrial communication and isolated ADC/DAC interfacing.
Technical Context
The SI8450AB-B-IS1 implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation, enabling DC-to-150 Mbps operation without start-up initialization. Its dual-supply architecture (VDD1/VDD2) supports independent 2.70–5.5 V domains per side, with integrated enable control and 85 Ω nominal output impedance for controlled-impedance PCB routing.
It achieves <1.5 ns typical pulse width distortion and ≤0.5 ns channel-channel skew at 150 Mbps, meeting stringent timing requirements in servo drives and isolated gate driver feedback loops. Safety compliance includes UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 (560 VPEAK working voltage).

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Primary-side supply | Power for input-side logic and channel 1–3 drivers; decoupling required per datasheet layout guidelines |

| VDD2 | Secondary-side supply | Independent 2.70–5.5 V supply for output-side logic and channels 4–5 |
| GND2 | Secondary-side ground | Isolated reference for VDD2; forms galvanic barrier between domains |
| OUT1–OUT3 | Output channels 1–3 | CMOS outputs with 85 Ω series termination; drive 15 pF loads at 150 Mbps with <1.5 ns PWD |
| IN4–IN5 | Input channels 4–5 | Additional isolated inputs referenced to VDD1/GND1; support bidirectional signal routing |
| OUT4–OUT5 | Output channels 4–5 | Matched timing to OUT1–OUT3 (<0.5 ns skew); enable synchronous multi-signal isolation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM141D0BRZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 2.5 kVRMS, SOIC-16; lacks dedicated EN2 pin and has higher 100 Mbps supply current (12.5 mA/VDD) | Not suitable for 5-signal isolation without external logic; limited to quad-channel use cases | Select when only four isolated signals are needed and ADI ecosystem integration is prioritized |
| ISO6751 | 5-channel, 50 Mbps max, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16; higher propagation delay (25 ns typ), lower CMTI (100 kV/µs) | Better suited for high-isolation-voltage but lower-speed applications like PLC I/O modules | Choose for enhanced surge immunity where speed is secondary to 5-kVRMS certification |
Compared with ADUM141D0BRZ and ISO6751, SI8450AB-B-IS1 uniquely balances five-channel count, 150 Mbps speed, sub-10 ns timing, and 2.5 kVRMS safety in one SOIC-16 footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-bandwidth industrial isolation where channel count and precision matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SI8450AB-B-IS1 at full 150 Mbps data rate?
The SI8450AB-B-IS1 is fully specified for continuous operation at –40 to +125 °C ambient temperature while sustaining 150 Mbps across all five channels. This rating is validated per Table 1 in the datasheet under VDD = 5 V, CL = 15 pF, and worst-case process corner conditions-ensuring reliable performance in under-hood automotive and industrial control cabinet environments where SI8450AB-B-IS1 is deployed.
Does SI8450AB-B-IS1 require external bypass capacitors beyond VDD1 and VDD2?
Yes, SI8450AB-B-IS1 requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to each VDD pin (VDD1 and VDD2) relative to its respective GND pin (GND1 and GND2), as specified in Section 2.4 "Layout Recommendations" of the datasheet. No additional external components-such as level shifters, terminators, or pull resistors-are needed for basic operation, making SI8450AB-B-IS1 a minimal-BOM solution.
How does the enable functionality work on SI8450AB-B-IS1?
SI8450AB-B-IS1 features two independent enable pins: EN1 controls channels 1–3 (IN1–IN3 → OUT1–OUT3), and EN2 controls channels 4–5 (IN4–IN5 → OUT4–OUT5). When an enable pin is low, its associated outputs enter high-impedance state (tri-state) with <2 µA leakage; when high, outputs drive actively with <9.5 ns propagation delay. This allows dynamic channel grouping and power-aware signal gating without affecting other isolated paths in SI8450AB-B-IS1.
What safety certifications apply specifically to SI8450AB-B-IS1?
SI8450AB-B-IS1 carries UL 1577 recognition (File E257455) for 2500 VRMS isolation, CSA Component Notice 5A (File 232873) for IEC 60950-1/61010-1 reinforced insulation, and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 certification (File 5006301-4880-0001) for 560 VPEAK working voltage. All certifications apply to the NB SOIC-16 package variant and were verified on production units tested to 3000 VRMS for 1 second-confirming SI8450AB-B-IS1's suitability for safety-critical industrial and automotive applications.
Can SI8450AB-B-IS1 operate with mismatched supply voltages on VDD1 and VDD2?
Yes, SI8450AB-B-IS1 supports independent supply rails: VDD1 may be set to 3.3 V while VDD2 operates at 5.0 V-or vice versa-within the 2.70–5.5 V range per side. This capability is explicitly confirmed in Tables 1–5 of the datasheet and enables direct interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog subsystems without external level translation, a key design advantage realized in SI8450AB-B-IS1's architecture.
