Product details
Overview
SI8661EB-AUR from Skyworks is a six-channel digital isolator with five input channels on VDD1 side and one output channel on VDD2 side, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate, <10 ns propagation delay, and 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation in a wide-body SOIC-16 package. It operates from 2.5–5.5 V supplies, features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and implements selectable high-default fail-safe mode-used in isolated motor control gate drivers and battery management system signal interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8661EB-AUR datasheet, SI8661EB-AUR pinout, SI8661EB-AUR application, or SI8661EB-AUR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, fail-safe behavior under undervoltage, CMTI performance at 50 kV/µs, thermal stability from –40°C to 125°C, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification for traction inverter and on-board charger designs.
Technical Context
The SI8661EB-AUR uses RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing without PLL lock time. Its architecture supports independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides, with VDDUV+ = 2.24 V (typ) and hysteresis of 70 mV (typ), ensuring robust power sequencing in dual-supply systems.
All six channels integrate Schmitt-trigger inputs (VT+ = 1.67 V, VT– = 1.23 V, VHYS = 0.44 V typ), 50 Ω nominal output impedance, and fail-safe logic that holds outputs high when VDD1 is unpowered-critical for safe shutdown in isolated IGBT/SiC gate drive feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - enables real-time PWM and fault reporting in high-frequency motor drives |
| Propagation Delay | 8.0 ns (typ) - ensures sub-10 ns timing alignment between isolated control and feedback signals |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.5 ns (typ) - maintains phase coherence across multi-channel isolated ADC sampling paths |
| CMTI | 50 kV/µs (typ) - prevents false triggering during fast-switching transients in 650 V+ inverters |
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements per VDE 0884-10 and UL 1577 for mains-connected systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V - supports direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V gate drivers without level shifters |
| Fail-Safe Default | High - guarantees active-high enable or fault-clear signals remain asserted during primary-side power loss |
Pinout & Package
SI8661EB-AUR is housed in a RoHS-compliant 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (WB SOIC-16) with 8.0 mm creepage and 8.3 mm clearance, certified for reinforced insulation up to 5 kVRMS. Pin assignments follow standard Si866x layout with VDD1/GND1 on left side (pins 1–8) and VDD2/GND2 on right side (pins 9–16).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 | VDD1-side input | Five isolated digital inputs referenced to VDD1/GND1; accept 2.0–5.5 V logic levels |
| 2, 5, 8 | VDD1-side ground/power | GND1 (pin 2), VDD1 (pin 5), GND1 (pin 8) - decoupling capacitor must be placed near pin 5 |
| 9, 11, 12, 14, 15 | VDD2-side output | One output (pin 9) + four unused pins - pin 9 delivers fail-safe high default signal to secondary-side controller |
| 10, 13, 16 | VDD2-side ground/power | GND2 (pin 10), VDD2 (pin 13), GND2 (pin 16) - separate supply domain with independent UVLO monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM161NBRZ | 6-channel, 150 Mbps, 3.75 kVRMS, SOIC-16 NB; no fail-safe default selection; 10 ns max propagation delay | Lacks configurable fail-safe output-requires external pull-up for high-default behavior | Choose ADUM161NBRZ only if board space constraints require narrow-body SOIC and fail-safe is implemented externally |
| ISO6761FRDWR | 6-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 WB; fixed low-fail-safe; 11 ns max propagation delay; 2.25–5.5 V supply | Lower data rate limits use in >100 kHz control loops; fixed low-default conflicts with high-active fault signaling | Prefer ISO6761FRDWR only for cost-sensitive, lower-speed industrial I/O where high-default fail-safe is not required |
Compared with ADUM161NBRZ and ISO6761FRDWR, SI8661EB-AUR uniquely combines 150 Mbps speed, 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation, wide 2.5–5.5 V supply range, and factory-configured high-default fail-safe-making it optimal for automotive-grade motor control and BMS where safety-critical signal integrity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe behavior of SI8661EB-AUR during VDD1 power loss?
When VDD1 is unpowered, SI8661EB-AUR's single output (pin 9) defaults to logic high due to its factory-configured "E" ordering option. This behavior is guaranteed by internal pull-ups and remains active as long as VDD2 is powered-ensuring critical fault-clear or enable signals stay asserted during primary-side brownouts in motor control systems using SI8661EB-AUR.
Does SI8661EB-AUR support 3.3 V and 5 V mixed-supply operation?
Yes, SI8661EB-AUR supports independent 2.5–5.5 V supplies on both sides: VDD1 can be 3.3 V (MCU interface) while VDD2 is 5 V (gate driver interface). Input thresholds (VT+ = 1.67 V, VT– = 1.23 V) and output drive (VOH ≥ VDD2 – 0.4 V) ensure reliable logic translation without external level shifters-verified in SI8661EB-AUR electrical specifications across temperature.
What is the creepage and clearance of the SI8661EB-AUR wide-body SOIC package?
The SI8661EB-AUR uses a WB SOIC-16 package with 8.0 mm creepage and 8.3 mm clearance-certified for 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation per VDE 0884-10 and UL 1577. This exceeds IEC 60664-1 requirements for 650 V working voltage systems, making SI8661EB-AUR suitable for direct placement across primary-secondary barriers in OBC and traction inverter PCB layouts.
How does SI8661EB-AUR achieve 50 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity?
SI8661EB-AUR achieves 50 kV/µs CMTI through its RF-based modulation architecture and differential receiver design, which rejects fast common-mode edges without false triggering. Measured per Figure 4.2 test circuit with 1500 V transient and VI = VDD/0 V, this performance is intrinsic to the Si866x isolation barrier-not dependent on external layout-ensuring robustness in high-dV/dt SiC inverter environments where SI8661EB-AUR is deployed.
Is SI8661EB-AUR qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SI8661EB-AUR is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40°C to +125°C), manufactured using automotive-specific process flows, and supported with AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation. Its top marking includes automotive manufacturing code (first character N–Z), and it is explicitly listed in Skyworks' Automotive OPNs table-confirming SI8661EB-AUR's suitability for on-board chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverters in production EV platforms.
