Product details
Overview
SI8450BB-A-IS1R 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, 2.7–5.5 V dual supply operation, and 2500 VRMS reinforced isolation. It serves as a high-reliability signal barrier in isolated power supplies and motor control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8450BB-A-IS1R datasheet, SI8450BB-A-IS1R pinout, SI8450BB-A-IS1R application, or SI8450BB-A-IS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include channel count (5), isolation rating (2500 VRMS), timing precision (0.5 ns typical channel-channel skew), low-power operation at 100 Mbps (<30 mA total), and compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40 to +125 °C).
Technical Context
The SI8450BB-A-IS1R implements capacitive isolation using on-chip RF modulation/demodulation across a silicon dioxide barrier, enabling DC-to-150 Mbps bidirectional signal transmission without start-up initialization. Its architecture delivers stable timing performance across voltage (2.7–5.5 V) and temperature (–40 to +125 °C) extremes, with CMTI ≥25 kV/µs ensuring robustness in noisy power electronics environments.
Each of its five isolated channels features independent enable control, 85 Ω nominal output impedance for controlled-impedance PCB routing, and precise timing specs: 1.5 ns typical pulse width distortion, 6 ns minimum pulse width, and 2 ns propagation delay skew between channels - critical for synchronized gate driving and ADC sampling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 2500 VRMS (UL/CSA/VDE certified; 3600 VRMS max test voltage) |
| Data Rate | Up to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and PWM feedback loops |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–9.5 ns (typ/max) - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical isolation in motor gate drivers |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.70–5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog circuits |
| Power Consumption | <30 mA total at 100 Mbps (5 V), <21 mA at 100 Mbps (3.3 V) - reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.5–1.8 ns (typ/max) - ensures deterministic phase alignment across multiple isolated signals |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | ≥25 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity during fast-switching events in inverters and SMPS |
Pinout & Package
SI8450BB-A-IS1R is housed in a RoHS-compliant 16-pin narrow-body SOIC (SOIC-16 NB) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 10.3 mm × 7.5 mm footprint, and 2.35 mm height. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pins 1–8 form the primary-side interface, pins 9–16 the secondary-side interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Primary-side supply | Provides 2.7–5.5 V power to input-side logic and isolation transmitter; bypass capacitor required |
| GND1 | Primary-side ground | Reference for input signals and VDD1; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier |
| INx | Primary-side digital input (x = 1–5) | Accepts CMOS-level signals; VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V; no external pull-ups needed |
| ENx | Primary-side enable input (x = 1–5) | Active-high control per channel; outputs go high-impedance when ENx = low (Revision B) |
| VDD2 | Secondary-side supply | Independent 2.7–5.5 V supply for output-side logic and receiver; decoupling mandatory |
| GND2 | Secondary-side ground | Reference for isolated outputs; galvanically separated from GND1 per safety certification |
| OUTx | Secondary-side digital output (x = 1–5) | CMOS-compatible outputs; VOH ≥VDD2–0.4 V, VOL ≤0.4 V; 85 Ω series termination integrated |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Five independent isolation channels | Enables full isolation of multi-signal interfaces (e.g., 3-phase PWM + fault + enable) in single-package layout |
| No start-up initialization | Delivers valid output within 40 µs of power application - eliminates boot-time delays in safety-critical systems |
| Ultra-low power at high speed | Consumes only ~4.6 mA per side at 100 Mbps (5 V), reducing heat generation in thermally constrained enclosures |
| Precision timing performance | 0.5 ns typical channel-channel skew and 1.5 ns pulse width distortion support synchronous sampling in isolated ADCs |
| Reinforced insulation certification | UL 1577, CSA 5A, and VDE 0884-2 compliance ensures suitability for medical, industrial, and EV applications requiring 2500 VRMS isolation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM141DBRZ | Four-channel, 150 Mbps, 2500 VRMS, SOIC-16; lacks individual channel enable and has higher 100 Mbps supply current (~35 mA) | Not suitable for five-signal isolation without stacking; less flexible for partial channel shutdown | Select when four channels suffice and ADI ecosystem integration is prioritized |
| ISO6751QDR | Five-channel, 50 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16; lower speed but higher isolation rating and 125 °C operation | Better suited for ultra-high-isolation safety barriers where data rate ≤50 Mbps is acceptable | Prefer for medical or grid-tie inverters needing >3000 VRMS working voltage |
Compared with ADUM141DBRZ and ISO6751QDR, SI8450BB-A-IS1R uniquely balances five-channel count, 150 Mbps speed, and 2500 VRMS certification in a single SOIC-16 package - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed industrial and automotive isolation where channel granularity and timing precision are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SI8450BB-A-IS1R?
The SI8450BB-A-IS1R is rated for continuous operation from –40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature at full 150 Mbps data rate and 5 V supply. This specification is validated per IEC 60747-5-2 and confirmed in Table 1 of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.6, making SI8450BB-A-IS1R suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments.
Does SI8450BB-A-IS1R require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its input pins?
No, SI8450BB-A-IS1R does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on INx or ENx pins. Its inputs have defined VIH (≥2.0 V) and VIL (≤0.8 V) thresholds with ±10 µA leakage, allowing direct connection to CMOS outputs. The SI8450BB-A-IS1R datasheet explicitly states "only VDD bypass capacitors are required" for functional operation.
How many isolation channels does SI8450BB-A-IS1R provide, and how are they configured?
SI8450BB-A-IS1R provides five unidirectional, independently enabled isolation channels. Pins IN1–IN5 and EN1–EN5 reside on the primary side (VDD1/GND1), while OUT1–OUT5 are on the secondary side (VDD2/GND2). Each channel operates with identical timing and electrical specs - confirmed in Tables 3–5 of the SI8450BB-A-IS1R datasheet Rev. 1.6.
What safety certifications apply to SI8450BB-A-IS1R?
SI8450BB-A-IS1R carries UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE 0884-2 (IEC 60747-5-2) certifications. These cover reinforced insulation up to 560 Vpeak working voltage and are verified for the SOIC-16 narrow-body package - details appear in Tables 6 and 9 of the official Skyworks datasheet.
Is SI8450BB-A-IS1R recommended for new designs?
No - Skyworks explicitly marks SI8450BB-A-IS1R as "Not Recommended for New Designs" in the Rev. 1.6 datasheet header. While fully functional and supported, designers should evaluate newer alternatives such as the Si86xx or Si88xx families for enhanced power efficiency, higher CMTI, or extended temperature range before initiating new product development with SI8450BB-A-IS1R.
