Product details
Overview
SI8450BB-B-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, 2.5 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 SI8450BB-B-IS1R datasheet, SI8450BB-B-IS1R pinout, SI8450BB-B-IS1R application, or SI8450BB-B-IS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include channel count (5), isolation rating (2.5 kVRMS), timing precision (0.5 ns typical channel-channel skew), low-power operation at 100 Mbps (<30 mA total), and SOIC-16 narrow-body package compatibility.
Technical Context
The SI8450BB-B-IS1R implements capacitive isolation using on-chip RF modulation/demodulation, enabling DC-to-150 Mbps signal transmission 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 precise timing alignment across all five channels.
It achieves 25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) and maintains stable propagation delay skew (<3 ns P-P) over temperature and voltage. Safety certification includes UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 (560 VPEAK working voltage).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 5 unidirectional isolated signal paths - enables full isolation of control, feedback, and communication lines in compact systems. |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces such as isolated SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and gate driver signaling. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–9.5 ns (typ/max) - ensures sub-10 ns timing fidelity for real-time motor control and power converter feedback loops. |
| Isolation Rating | 2500 VRMS for 1 minute - meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial and automotive auxiliary power systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.70–5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level-shifting. |
| CMTI | 25 kV/µs - prevents false triggering in noisy environments like inverters and variable-frequency drives. |
| Operating Temp | –40 to +125 °C at 150 Mbps - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SI8450BB-B-IS1R is housed in a 16-pin narrow-body SOIC package (7.5 mm width, JEDEC MS-012AC), with creepage/clearance certified to 4.01 mm / 4.9 mm and 2.5 kVRMS isolation barrier between sides 1–8 and 9–16.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Primary-side supply | Power for input-side logic and channel 1–3 drivers; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor near pin. |
| GND1 | Primary-side ground | Reference for input signals and VDD1; requires low-impedance connection to isolate noise coupling into secondary side. |
| IN1–IN3 | Input channels 1–3 | Digital inputs referenced to GND1; accept 2.0 VH/0.8 VL thresholds compatible with CMOS/LVTTL. |
| EN1 | Enable for channels 1–3 | Active-high control: drives outputs low when disabled; enables power-gating for standby mode. |
| VDD2 | Secondary-side supply | Power for output-side logic and channel 4–5 drivers; independent of VDD1 for galvanic separation. |
| GND2 | Secondary-side ground | Reference for output signals and VDD2; must be physically separated from GND1 by ≥8 mm on PCB. |
| OUT1–OUT3 | Output channels 1–3 | Inverted outputs relative to IN1–IN3; 85 Ω nominal output impedance for controlled-impedance trace matching. |
| OUT4–OUT5 | Output channels 4–5 | Non-inverting outputs; support independent enable via EN2 (pin 15) - not present on SI8450 variant. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | <6.9 mA per side at 5 V - reduces thermal load in densely packed isolated gate driver modules. |
| Precision timing alignment | 0.5 ns typical channel-channel skew - enables synchronized sampling across multiple isolated ADC channels. |
| No start-up initialization | Valid output within 40 µs of power application - eliminates boot-time delays in safety-critical power-on sequences. |
| High CMTI immunity | 25 kV/µs - suppresses false edge detection during fast-switching events in SiC/GaN-based inverters. |
| RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 | Lead-free, halogen-free package with 1.27 mm pitch - compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM141DBRZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 2.5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 wide-body (10.3 mm) | Lacks fifth channel; wider package increases PCB area by 36% and reduces creepage margin for same layout. | Choose when only four isolated signals are needed and board space permits wider SOIC. |
| ISO6751QDR | 5-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 narrow-body, higher CMTI (100 kV/µs) | Lower data rate limits use in high-speed SPI or gate driver timing; higher isolation suits medical mains-connected systems. | Prefer where enhanced isolation voltage (>3.75 kVRMS) is mandatory and 50 Mbps suffices. |
Compared with ADUM141DBRZ and ISO6751QDR, SI8450BB-B-IS1R uniquely delivers five-channel 150 Mbps performance in a narrow-body SOIC footprint with industry-leading timing precision (0.5 ns skew) and ultra-low 100 Mbps supply current (<30 mA), making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed industrial inverters.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SI8450BB-B-IS1R at full 150 Mbps data rate?
The SI8450BB-B-IS1R 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, with no derating required up to the upper limit. SI8450BB-B-IS1R maintains <9.5 ns propagation delay and <3 ns channel skew across this range.
Does SI8450BB-B-IS1R require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its input pins?
No, SI8450BB-B-IS1R inputs have built-in hysteresis and do not require external biasing resistors. The VIH and VIL thresholds (2.0 V and 0.8 V respectively) are internally defined and stable over temperature and supply voltage. External resistors may be added only for specific ESD protection or noise filtering per system-level requirements, but are not necessary for basic logic-level compatibility.
How does the enable function operate on SI8450BB-B-IS1R?
SI8450BB-B-IS1R features a single enable pin (EN1, pin 4) that controls channels 1–3. When EN1 is low, OUT1–OUT3 are driven to logic low; when high, they replicate IN1–IN3 with inversion. There is no enable for channels 4–5 - those outputs are always active. Enable timing is characterized: data valid occurs within 8.0 ns (max) after EN1 rises, per Figure 1 and Table 3.
Can SI8450BB-B-IS1R operate with different supply voltages on each side (e.g., 3.3 V on VDD1 and 5 V on VDD2)?
Yes, SI8450BB-B-IS1R supports independent supply voltages on VDD1 and VDD2 within 2.70–5.5 V each. Electrical characteristics including VIH/VIL thresholds, VOL/VOH levels, and supply current are guaranteed across all combinations (e.g., 3.3 V/5 V, 5 V/3.3 V). This enables seamless interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog subsystems without level shifters.
What safety certifications apply specifically to SI8450BB-B-IS1R?
SI8450BB-B-IS1R carries UL 1577 recognition (2500 VRMS, File E257455), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 certification (File 5006301-4880-0001). These apply to the 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating and are verified on every production unit via 3.0 kVRMS for 1 second testing, as stated in Table 6 and the regulatory summary on page 14 of the datasheet.
