Product details
Overview
SI8452BB-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, 2.5 kVRMS isolation, and operation from –40°C to +125°C. It serves as a high-speed signal barrier in isolated power supplies and motor control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8452BB-A-IS1R datasheet, SI8452BB-A-IS1R pinout, SI8452BB-A-IS1R application, or SI8452BB-A-IS1R equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, timing performance at 2.7–5.5 V supply, safety certification details (UL/CSA/VDE), and real-world design context for industrial and automotive isolation use cases.
Technical Context
The SI8452BB-A-IS1R implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation across five independent channels, enabling DC-to-150 Mbps bidirectional signal transfer without start-up initialization. Its architecture achieves <1.8 ns channel-channel skew and 25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) under full temperature range.
It supports dual supply domains (VDD1/VDD2), each configurable from 2.70 V to 5.5 V, with separate enable inputs per side. The device meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60747-5-2 and UL 1577, with production-tested 3.0 kVRMS withstand voltage and 60-year lifetime at rated working voltage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM141DARZ | Four-channel, 150 Mbps, 2.5 kVRMS, SOIC-16; no enable pins; higher 100 Mbps supply current (18.1 mA vs. 15.8 mA) | Lacks fifth channel and dual enable control; less suitable for complex multi-signal isolation where EN1/EN2 sequencing is required | Select when only four channels are needed and board space allows SOIC-16 footprint reuse |
| ISO6741QDR | Four-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16; lower speed but higher isolation rating; 3.0–5.5 V supply only | Insufficient for 150 Mbps SPI or fast serial protocols; better suited for lower-speed analog monitoring or safety-critical diagnostics | Choose when system-level isolation voltage >3.5 kVRMS is mandated and data rate ≤50 Mbps suffices |
Compared with ADUM141DARZ and ISO6741QDR, the SI8452BB-A-IS1R uniquely delivers five-channel 150 Mbps isolation with dual enable control and ultra-low 12.6 mA @100 Mbps current draw at 2.7 V supply - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed industrial and automotive subsystems requiring precise multi-signal coordination.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for SI8452BB-A-IS1R?
The SI8452BB-A-IS1R is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature at full 150 Mbps data rate and 15 pF load. This specification is validated across supply voltages (2.70–5.5 V) and confirmed in Tables 1 and 3–5 of the official Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.6. Thermal derating begins above 125°C case temperature per Figure 3.
Does SI8452BB-A-IS1R support independent enable control on both sides?
Yes, SI8452BB-A-IS1R provides two dedicated enable inputs: EN1 on the primary side (pins 1–8 domain) and EN2 on the secondary side (pins 9–16 domain). When either EN1 or EN2 is low, all five output channels enter high-impedance state. Timing parameters ten1 and ten2 (5.0–8.0 ns enable-to-valid) are specified in Table 3.
What safety certifications apply to SI8452BB-A-IS1R?
SI8452BB-A-IS1R carries UL 1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA Component Notice 5A (IEC 60950-1/61010-1), and VDE IEC 60747-5-2 certifications. These cover reinforced insulation with 560 VPEAK working voltage and 3.0 kVRMS production test voltage. Certification details appear in Tables 6 and 9 of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.6.
How does SI8452BB-A-IS1R differ from the Si8452AB-A-IS1R variant?
The SI8452BB-A-IS1R is the high-speed variant (150 Mbps), whereas Si8452AB-A-IS1R is the low-speed variant (1 Mbps). Key differences include propagation delay (3.0–9.5 ns vs. up to 35 ns), minimum pulse width (6 ns vs. 250 ns), and 100 Mbps supply current (12.6–15.8 mA vs. not characterized). Both share identical pinout, package, and safety ratings.
What is the output impedance of SI8452BB-A-IS1R and why does it matter?
SI8452BB-A-IS1R has a nominal output impedance of 85 Ω ±40%, formed by on-chip series termination and driver FET resistance. This value is critical for controlled-impedance PCB routing: when driving transmission lines (e.g., >10 cm traces at >50 Mbps), external series termination is unnecessary, reducing BOM count and improving signal integrity in high-speed isolation links.
