Product details
Overview
SI8462AA-A-IS1 from Skyworks Solutions is a six-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 under 9.5 ns, 0.5 ns channel-to-channel skew, and 25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity. It operates across 2.70–5.5 V supply rails and delivers <13.3 mA per side at 100 Mbps (5 V), enabling high-speed isolation in motor control and isolated power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SI8462AA-A-IS1 datasheet, SI8462AA-A-IS1 pinout, SI8462AA-A-IS1 application, or SI8462AA-A-IS1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 Mbps capability, 2.5 kVRMS reinforced insulation rating, 6-channel unidirectional configuration (3+3), and operation from –40°C to +125°C at full speed - critical for industrial inverters and HEV battery management systems.
Technical Context
The SI8462AA-A-IS1 implements capacitive isolation with on-chip RF modulation/demodulation, eliminating startup initialization and ensuring deterministic timing behavior. Its architecture supports independent primary- and secondary-side supplies (VDD1/VDD2), enabling level-shifting between 2.7 V and 5.5 V domains without external components beyond bypass capacitors.
It features 85 Ω nominal output impedance per channel, optimized for controlled-impedance PCB routing, and achieves 6 ns minimum pulse width with 1.5 ns typical pulse width distortion - essential for preserving signal integrity in high-frequency gate drive and ADC sampling interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 150 Mbps - enables real-time feedback in 20 kHz+ motor control loops and fast serial interfaces like SPI/CAN FD physical layer isolation. |
| Propagation Delay | 3.0–9.5 ns (typ/max) - ensures sub-10 ns latency for time-critical gate driver enable/disable signals in SiC/GaN power stages. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.5 ns (typ) - maintains precise phase alignment across multiple isolated PWM channels in 3-phase inverter control. |
| Isolation Voltage | 2500 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60747-5-2, UL 1577, and CSA 5A for functional safety up to 300 VRMS working voltage. |
| Supply Range | 2.70–5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| CMTI | 25 kV/µs - suppresses false triggering during fast-switching transients in high-di/dt power converters. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C at 150 Mbps - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SI8462AA-A-IS1 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 16-pin narrow-body SOIC package (7.5 mm × 10.3 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) with creepage/clearance ≥3.9 mm and internal isolation barrier rated to 3600 VRMS surge.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Primary-side supply | Power input for input-side logic and isolation transmitter; accepts 2.70–5.5 V with bypass capacitor required. |
| GND1 | Primary-side ground | Reference return for VDD1 domain; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier. |
| IN1–IN3 | Input signal terminals | Unidirectional CMOS-compatible inputs accepting 0–VDD1 logic; no external pull-ups needed. |
| VDD2 | Secondary-side supply | Independent power for output-side logic and receiver; supports different voltage than VDD1. |
| GND2 | Secondary-side ground | Reference return for VDD2 domain; galvanically isolated from GND1. |
| OUT1–OUT3 | Output signal terminals | CMOS outputs driving 4 mA sink/source; 85 Ω matched impedance for controlled-impedance trace routing. |
| NC | No-connect pins | Pins 1, 2, 15, 16 are internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-startup-delay operation | Valid output data within 40 µs of power application - eliminates boot-time synchronization delays in safety-critical systems. |
| Low-power 100 Mbps mode | 13.3 mA per side at 100 Mbps (5 V) - reduces thermal load in densely packed isolated DC-DC controllers. |
| High CMTI immunity | 25 kV/µs common-mode rejection - prevents data corruption during 100 A/µs switching events in 650 V SiC half-bridges. |
| Precision timing | 0.5 ns channel-to-channel skew and 1.5 ns pulse width distortion - preserves edge alignment for multi-channel PWM generation. |
| Wide temperature stability | Full 150 Mbps performance maintained from –40°C to +125°C - avoids data-rate throttling in outdoor industrial drives. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM140D0BRZ | Quad-channel, 150 Mbps, 2.5 kVRMS, but only 4 channels vs. SI8462AA-A-IS1's 6 channels; higher 100 Mbps supply current (18.5 mA/side). | Limited to 4-signal isolation; unsuitable for 3-phase gate drive requiring 6 independent paths. | Select when system requires only four isolated signals and ADI ecosystem compatibility is prioritized. |
| ISO6760QDWR | Six-channel, 50 Mbps max, 5 kVRMS, 2.7–5.5 V, but lower speed limits use in >20 MHz clock domains. | Insufficient for 150 Mbps SPI or fast PWM; better suited for slower UART/IO-link isolation. | Choose only if 5 kVRMS isolation is mandatory and data rate ≤50 Mbps suffices. |
Compared with ADUM140D0BRZ and ISO6760QDWR, SI8462AA-A-IS1 uniquely delivers six-channel 150 Mbps isolation with sub-nanosecond skew in a standard SOIC-16 footprint - making it the only option for space-constrained, high-speed motor control designs needing full 3-phase gate drive isolation plus auxiliary signaling.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by SI8462AA-A-IS1?
The SI8462AA-A-IS1 supports a maximum data rate of 150 Mbps under specified conditions (VDD = 5 V, TA = –40°C to +125°C). This is confirmed in Table 3 and Table 4 of the Skyworks datasheet Rev. 1.6, where Si8462Bx variants (including SI8462AA-A-IS1) are explicitly rated for 0–150 Mbps operation with 6 ns minimum pulse width and 9.5 ns worst-case propagation delay.
Does SI8462AA-A-IS1 require external startup circuitry or initialization?
No, SI8462AA-A-IS1 requires no startup initialization. Valid output data appears within 40 µs of power application (tSU = 15–40 µs), as specified in Table 3. This zero-initialization behavior is inherent to its capacitive isolation architecture and eliminates firmware dependencies for power-on sequencing in safety-critical systems using SI8462AA-A-IS1.
What safety certifications apply to SI8462AA-A-IS1?
SI8462AA-A-IS1 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 up to 300 VRMS working voltage and are verified per Table 6 and Section 15 of the datasheet Rev. 1.6 - confirming SI8462AA-A-IS1's suitability for industrial and automotive isolation barriers.
Can SI8462AA-A-IS1 operate with different supply voltages on each side?
Yes, SI8462AA-A-IS1 supports independent VDD1 and VDD2 supplies ranging from 2.70 V to 5.5 V each. Electrical Characteristics tables (Tables 3–5) explicitly list separate VDD1/VDD2 current measurements, and the Functional Description section confirms bidirectional level-shifting capability - enabling SI8462AA-A-IS1 to interface a 3.3 V MCU with a 5 V gate driver stage without external level translators.
What is the channel configuration of SI8462AA-A-IS1?
SI8462AA-A-IS1 provides six unidirectional channels in a 3+3 configuration: IN1–IN3 feed OUT1–OUT3 respectively, with no cross-channel routing. This is defined in the Pin Descriptions section (page 27) and confirmed by the "Si8462" designation in the family naming convention - distinguishing it from Si8460 (1+1), Si8461 (2+2), and Si8463 (4+2) variants. The 'AA' suffix denotes this specific 3+3 channel mapping.
