Product details
Overview
SI8661BB-AS1R from Skyworks is a six-channel automotive-grade digital isolator with 5 input channels on VDD1 side and 1 output channel on VDD2 side, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate, <10 ns propagation delay, and 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating in narrow-body SOIC-16 package. It operates across –40 to 125 °C and features Schmitt-trigger inputs, selectable fail-safe low-default output, and ultra-low power consumption (1.5 mA/channel at 1 Mbps, 2.5 V).
For engineers reviewing the SI8661BB-AS1R datasheet, SI8661BB-AS1R pinout, SI8661BB-AS1R application, or SI8661BB-AS1R equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, automotive-qualified timing performance, fail-safe behavior under undervoltage, CMTI immunity of 50 kV/µs, and precise channel-to-channel skew control for high-reliability isolated communication in battery management and traction inverter systems.
Technical Context
The SI8661BB-AS1R implements RF-based on-off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. Its dual-supply architecture (VDD1/VDD2) supports independent 2.5–5.5 V operation per side with separate UVLO monitors and fail-safe logic state retention during input-side power loss.
Each channel integrates Schmitt-trigger inputs (VT+ = 1.67 V typ, VT– = 1.23 V typ), 50 Ω nominal output impedance, and precise timing: 0.5 ns typical channel-channel skew, 2 ns propagation delay skew, and 5 ns minimum pulse width - all stable over temperature and lifetime.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - enables high-speed CAN FD, SPI, or isolated ADC interface without protocol bottlenecks |
| Propagation Delay | 8.0 ns typical - ensures sub-10 ns timing margin for real-time motor control loop closure |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.5 ns typical - maintains phase alignment across multi-channel isolated gate drivers or encoder interfaces |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 50 kV/µs - prevents data corruption in high-dV/dt environments like IGBT switching nodes |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side - supports direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends |
| Isolation Rating | 2.5 kVRMS - certified to UL, CSA, VDE, and CQC standards for reinforced insulation in industrial and automotive systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40 to 125 °C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for under-hood and battery-pack applications |
Pinout & Package
Narrow-body SOIC-16 (NB SOIC-16) package with 8.3 mm creepage/clearance, RoHS-compliant, peak reflow 260 °C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | VDD1-side Inputs | Five isolated digital inputs referenced to VDD1/GND1; Schmitt-triggered for >0.44 V hysteresis against EMI |
| 6 | VDD1 | Input-side supply (2.5–5.5 V); requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND1 |
| 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 | VDD2-side Outputs | One output channel (Pin 7) and four NC pins - output drives 50 Ω trace with 2.5–4.0 ns rise/fall time |
| 12 | GND1 | Input-side ground reference; must be separated from GND2 by ≥8 mm for reinforced insulation compliance |
| 13, 14, 15, 16 | VDD2, GND2, NC, NC | VDD2 (Pin 13) powers output side; GND2 (Pin 14) is isolated return; Pins 15–16 are no-connect |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified with AIAG-compliant PPAP, IMDS/CAMDS support, and zero-defect manufacturing flow |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | Low-default output state ensures safe shutdown of downstream circuits during VDD1 loss - no external pull-downs needed |
| Ultra-low power at 1 Mbps | 1.5 mA per channel at 2.5 V - reduces thermal load in sealed battery enclosures and extends system standby time |
| High CMTI immunity | 50 kV/µs common-mode transient rejection - sustains data integrity near 1000 V DC bus switching edges |

FAQ
What is the default output state of SI8661BB-AS1R during input-side power loss?
The SI8661BB-AS1R has a low-default fail-safe output state, meaning Pin 7 outputs logic low when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active. This behavior is fixed by ordering code "BB" and ensures safe deactivation of downstream drivers or contactors without external circuitry. The SI8661BB-AS1R maintains this state until VDD1 recovers above UVLO+ (2.24 V typ).
Does SI8661BB-AS1R require external bypass capacitors?
Yes, the SI8661BB-AS1R requires a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VDD1 and GND1, and another between VDD2 and GND2, placed as close as possible to the respective pins. These capacitors stabilize supply rails during high-speed switching and are mandatory for achieving specified 150 Mbps operation and 50 kV/µs CMTI performance.
How does SI8661BB-AS1R differ from SI8660BB-AS1R in channel configuration?
The SI8661BB-AS1R provides five input channels on the VDD1 side and one output channel on the VDD2 side (5:1 asymmetry), whereas SI8660BB-AS1R offers six input channels and zero outputs (6:0). This makes SI8661BB-AS1R ideal for telemetry-heavy applications like BMS cell monitoring, where multiple sensors feed one controller, unlike SI8660BB-AS1R used for unidirectional control signal fan-out.
Is SI8661BB-AS1R compatible with 2.5 V logic interfaces?
Yes, the SI8661BB-AS1R supports 2.5 V operation on both VDD1 and VDD2 sides, with verified performance including 1.5 mA/channel supply current at 1 Mbps and valid logic thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max). Its Schmitt-trigger inputs ensure robust noise immunity even at reduced supply voltages, making it suitable for low-power 2.5 V microcontroller interfaces.
What safety certifications apply to SI8661BB-AS1R?
The SI8661BB-AS1R holds UL 1577 (5000 VRMS/1 min), CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5A, VDE 0884-10, and CQC GB4943.1 certifications for 2.5 kVRMS reinforced insulation. These approvals cover compliance with IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1, enabling use in medical-grade and automotive EV systems requiring certified galvanic isolation barriers.
