Product details
Overview
SI8661BB-B-IUR from Skyworks is a six-channel, ultra-low-power digital isolator with 5 input channels on VDD1 side and 1 output channel on VDD2 side, rated for 2.5 kVRMS isolation and supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs, selectable fail-safe low-default output, and operates across –40 to 125 °C - deployed in isolated motor control gate drivers and battery management system signal interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8661BB-B-IUR datasheet, SI8661BB-B-IUR pinout, SI8661BB-B-IUR application, or SI8661BB-B-IUR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, QSOP-16 package details, fail-safe mode behavior, CMTI of 50 kV/µs, and direct alternatives for industrial and automotive isolation design.
Technical Context
The SI8661BB-B-IUR 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 undervoltage lockout (UVLO) thresholds at 2.24 V (rising) and 2.16 V (falling).
Each channel delivers sub-10 ns propagation delay (typ. 8 ns), <2.5 ns channel-to-channel skew, and 5 ns minimum pulse width. The device uses internal Schmitt triggers (VT+ = 1.67 V, VT– = 1.23 V) and achieves 50 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity - critical for high-noise motor drive and inverter feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels / Direction | 6 total: 5 unidirectional inputs on VDD1 side, 1 unidirectional output on VDD2 side - enables asymmetric signal routing in isolated ADC monitoring or fault reporting paths. |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial communication in real-time motor control and fast-loop BMS cell voltage sampling. |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns typical (5–13 ns max) - ensures tight timing alignment between isolated control and feedback signals in PWM-driven systems. |
| CMTI | 50 kV/µs - suppresses false triggering during fast-switching transients in 650 V+ IGBT/SiC inverter stages. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side - allows direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level-shifting. |
| Fail-Safe Default | Low-output state when VDD1 is unpowered - guarantees safe shutdown of downstream power stages during input-side brownout. |
| Isolation Rating | 2.5 kVRMS - certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-10, and IEC 62368-1 reinforced insulation standards for industrial safety compliance. |
Pinout & Package
SI8661BB-B-IUR is housed in a RoHS-compliant QSOP-16 package (5.3 mm × 10.2 mm, 1.0 mm height) with 0.635 mm pitch and 8 mm creepage distance - optimized for space-constrained industrial PCBs requiring reinforced isolation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side supply | Power for 5 input channels and internal transmitter; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND1. |
| GND1 | Input-side ground | Reference for all input signals and VDD1; must be separated from GND2 by ≥8 mm creepage. |
| IN1–IN5 | Digital input terminals | CMOS-compatible Schmitt-trigger inputs (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.8 V); tolerate 5 V logic even at 2.5 V VDD1. |
| VDD2 | Output-side supply | Power for 1 output driver and receiver; independent of VDD1 - enables galvanic separation of control and power domains. |
| GND2 | Output-side ground | Reference for output signal and VDD2; forms isolation barrier with GND1 - defines safety boundary per IEC 62368-1. |
| OUT | Digital output terminal | Push-pull CMOS output (VOH = VDD2–0.4 V, VOL = 0.2 V); 50 Ω nominal impedance for controlled-impedance trace routing. |
| NC | No-connect pins | Pins 1, 9, 10, 16 are internally unused - must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid latch-up or EMI coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift; enables stable 60-year lifetime at rated working voltage without recalibration. |
| Selectably fail-safe output | Factory-configured low-default state ensures downstream MOSFETs/IGBTs turn OFF during VDD1 loss - critical for functional safety in BMS. |
| Ultra-low dynamic power | 8.8 mA total at 100 Mbps (5 V), 7.9 mA (3.3 V) - reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures and extends battery runtime in portable test equipment. |
| High-noise immunity | 50 kV/µs CMTI + 0.44 V input hysteresis - rejects switching noise from adjacent 100 A+ power stages without external filtering. |
| Wide-temp operation | –40 to 125 °C ambient range with <4.5 ns propagation skew over temperature - maintains timing integrity in engine bay or factory-floor environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM161N0BRZ-RL7 | 6-channel, 150 Mbps, 3.75 kVRMS, SOIC-16WB; default output undefined (requires external pull-up/down) | Higher isolation rating suits medical mains-connected designs; lacks factory-fail-safe configuration | Choose when reinforced 3.75 kVRMS is required and board-level fail-safe control is acceptable. |
| ISO6761QDWR | 6-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16WB; fails high by default; higher power (12.3 mA @ 100 Mbps) | Lower data rate limits use in fast-loop control; 5 kVRMS supports HV charging station interfaces | Prefer for ultra-high-voltage EV charging infrastructure where speed is secondary to isolation robustness. |
Compared with SI8661BB-B-IUR, ADUM161N0BRZ-RL7 offers higher isolation but no built-in fail-safe, while ISO6761QDWR provides greater voltage withstand at half the speed and higher quiescent current - making SI8661BB-B-IUR optimal for cost-sensitive, high-speed industrial BMS and motor control where deterministic low-default behavior is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the default output state of SI8661BB-B-IUR during input-side power loss?
The SI8661BB-B-IUR is factory-configured with a low-default fail-safe output: when VDD1 is unpowered and VDD2 remains active, the OUT pin drives logic low. This behavior is fixed per ordering code "BB" (low default) and does not require external circuitry - ensuring safe shutdown of downstream power stages in SI8661BB-B-IUR-based systems.
Does SI8661BB-B-IUR require startup initialization or configuration registers?
No, SI8661BB-B-IUR requires no startup initialization or register programming. It begins transmitting valid data within 40 µs of VDD1/VDD2 reaching UVLO threshold (2.24 V), with no handshake or clock synchronization needed. This zero-latency start-up is inherent to its RF modulation architecture and applies to every SI8661BB-B-IUR unit without firmware dependency.
Can SI8661BB-B-IUR operate with different supply voltages on VDD1 and VDD2 sides?
Yes, SI8661BB-B-IUR supports independent 2.5–5.5 V supplies on VDD1 and VDD2. For example, it can accept 3.3 V logic inputs on VDD1 while driving a 5 V microcontroller I/O on VDD2 - enabling seamless level translation across isolation barriers without external translators. This dual-supply flexibility is guaranteed across the full –40 to 125 °C range for SI8661BB-B-IUR.
What is the creepage distance of the QSOP-16 package used by SI8661BB-B-IUR?
The SI8661BB-B-IUR in QSOP-16 package provides 8 mm creepage distance between GND1 and GND2 pins, satisfying reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1 for up to 300 V RMS working voltage. This value is validated in Skyworks' Package Outline document #10 and confirmed in Table 4.6 of the SI8661BB-B-IUR datasheet.
Is SI8661BB-B-IUR qualified for automotive applications?
No, SI8661BB-B-IUR is an industrial-grade part (suffix "-I"). Automotive qualification requires the "-A" suffix (e.g., SI8661BB-AU), which undergoes AEC-Q100 stress testing, AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, and zero-defect manufacturing controls. SI8661BB-B-IUR is rated for –40 to 125 °C but lacks automotive-specific flow validation and PPAP support.
