Product details
Overview
SI8452BA-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 <9.5 ns worst-case propagation delay, 2.5 kVRMS isolation, and operation from 2.70–5.5 V across –40 to +125 °C - deployed in isolated ADC interfaces and motor control gate drivers.
For engineers reviewing the SI8452BA-A-IS1R datasheet, SI8452BA-A-IS1R pinout, SI8452BA-A-IS1R application, or SI8452BA-A-IS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include channel count (5), isolation rating (2500 VRMS), supply voltage range (2.7–5.5 V), timing precision (<1.8 ns channel-channel skew), and regulatory compliance (UL, CSA, VDE).
Technical Context
The SI8452BA-A-IS1R implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation circuitry, enabling high-speed signal transfer without magnetic or optical coupling. It features independent enable inputs per side and supports bidirectional or unidirectional channel configurations per device variant.
Its architecture delivers stable timing performance across temperature and voltage: propagation delay skew remains ≤3.0 ns (P-P), pulse width distortion ≤2.5 ns, and common-mode transient immunity ≥25 kV/µs - critical for noise-prone industrial power electronics and EV inverter control loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 5 independent isolation channels - enables consolidated isolation of multiple digital signals (e.g., PWM, fault, status) in single-package motor drive or power supply designs. |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-resolution encoder feedback, fast SPI communication, and real-time control loop signaling without bottlenecks. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–9.5 ns - ensures sub-10 ns latency for time-critical gate driving and protection response in inverters and SMPS. |
| 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 - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V logic, simplifying level-shifting in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Power @ 100 Mbps | 12.6–15.8 mA per side at 5 V - ultra-low active power enables thermal-constrained designs in sealed enclosures or high-density PCBs. |
| CMTI | ≥25 kV/µs - rejects fast transients from IGBT switching noise, preventing false triggering in industrial motor drives and solar inverters. |
Pinout & Package
SI8452BA-A-IS1R is housed in a 16-pin narrow-body SOIC (SOIC-16 NB) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 10.3 mm × 6.4 mm footprint, and 2.35 mm max height - compatible with standard automated assembly and IPC-7351B land patterns.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | Input channels A1–A5 | Primary-side digital inputs accepting CMOS/TTL logic levels; each independently isolated to corresponding output. |
| 6 | VDD1 | Primary-side supply (2.7–5.5 V); bypass capacitor required between Pin 6 and Pin 8 (GND1). |
| 7 | GND1 | Primary-side ground reference; must be separated from secondary-side ground by isolation barrier. |
| 8 | EN1 | Primary-side enable input - pulls all A-side outputs low when asserted low; open-drain compatible. |
| 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 | Output channels B1–B5 | Secondary-side isolated outputs driving CMOS loads; output impedance ~85 Ω for controlled-impedance trace matching. |
| 14 | VDD2 | Secondary-side supply (2.7–5.5 V); bypass capacitor required between Pin 14 and Pin 16 (GND2). |
| 15 | GND2 | Secondary-side ground reference; galvanically isolated from GND1. |
| 16 | EN2 | Secondary-side enable input - controls B-side outputs; independent of EN1 for asymmetric enable control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Five-channel integration | Reduces component count and board area vs. discrete single-channel isolators - lowers BOM cost and layout complexity in multi-signal isolation applications. |
| Sub-10 ns propagation delay | Enables tight-tolerance timing in closed-loop motor control and synchronous rectification where phase alignment is critical. |
| 0.5 ns typical channel-channel skew | Preserves signal integrity across parallel data paths (e.g., 3-phase PWM), minimizing timing mismatch-induced torque ripple or EMI. |
| 2.7–5.5 V dual-supply flexibility | Supports mixed-voltage system interfacing - e.g., 3.3 V MCU on primary side and 5 V gate driver on secondary side - without external level shifters. |
| RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 NB | Meets global environmental compliance requirements and fits legacy SOIC footprints, easing migration from optocouplers or older isolators. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Isolated ADC Interface |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM141D1BRZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 2.5 kVRMS, SOIC-16; no enable pins; higher typical supply current (14.5 mA @ 100 Mbps, 5 V) | Lacks dedicated enable control per side; unsuitable where asymmetric enable sequencing is required. | Choose ADUM141D1BRZ only if exactly four channels are needed and enable functionality is implemented externally. |
| ISO6751QDR | 5-channel, 50 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16; wider body; higher propagation delay (25 ns max); supports 1.8–5.5 V | Lower speed limits use in high-bandwidth control loops; higher isolation voltage suits medical or grid-tied applications. | Select ISO6751QDR when 5 kVRMS isolation is mandatory and data rate ≤50 Mbps suffices - not for 150 Mbps timing-critical paths. |
Compared with ADUM141D1BRZ and ISO6751QDR, SI8452BA-A-IS1R uniquely balances five-channel count, 150 Mbps speed, sub-10 ns timing, and integrated dual enable control - making it optimal for compact, high-performance motor and power converter designs requiring precise, low-latency isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by SI8452BA-A-IS1R?
The SI8452BA-A-IS1R supports a maximum data rate of 150 Mbps under specified conditions (VDD = 5 V, TA = –40 to +125 °C, CL = 15 pF). This is confirmed in Table 3 of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.6 for Si845xBx variants. The SI8452BA-A-IS1R belongs to the 'Bx' speed grade, distinguishing it from the slower 'Ax' (1 Mbps) versions in the same family.
Does SI8452BA-A-IS1R require external start-up initialization?
No, SI8452BA-A-IS1R does not require external start-up initialization. As stated in the datasheet Features section, "No start-up initialization required." Its internal oscillator and isolation circuitry achieve valid output data within 40 µs of power application (tSU), with no firmware or configuration sequence needed - simplifying system boot design.
What safety certifications apply to SI8452BA-A-IS1R?
SI8452BA-A-IS1R is certified to UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2. These approvals cover reinforced insulation and are explicitly listed in Tables 6 and 7 of the datasheet. Certification applies to the 2.5 kVRMS rated devices, with 100% production testing at 3.0 kVRMS for 1 second.
Can SI8452BA-A-IS1R operate with different supply voltages on each side?
Yes, SI8452BA-A-IS1R supports independent supply voltages on VDD1 and VDD2, each ranging from 2.70 V to 5.5 V. Electrical Characteristics tables (Tables 3–5) specify performance across 2.7 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V combinations. This enables interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V gate drivers without level-shifting components.
What is the channel configuration of SI8452BA-A-IS1R?
SI8452BA-A-IS1R provides five unidirectional channels, configured as A1–A5 inputs on the primary side (Pins 1–5) and B1–B5 outputs on the secondary side (Pins 9–13). Pin Descriptions (Section 4 of datasheet) confirm this fixed 5-channel, input-to-output mapping - no channel reconfiguration or bidirectional capability is supported in this variant.
