Product details
Overview
SI8661EB-B-IUR from Skyworks is a six-channel CMOS 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 2.5 kVRMS isolation. It operates from 2.5–5.5 V supplies across –40 to 125 °C and features Schmitt-trigger inputs and selectable high-default fail-safe mode-used in isolated motor control feedback loops and battery management system signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the SI8661EB-B-IUR datasheet, SI8661EB-B-IUR pinout, SI8661EB-B-IUR application, or SI8661EB-B-IUR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, QSOP-16 package details, fail-safe behavior under undervoltage, CMTI of 50 kV/µs, and direct alternatives for industrial and automotive isolation designs requiring precise timing and low-power operation.
Technical Context
The SI8661EB-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 architecture supports independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides, with VDDUV+ = 2.24 V and hysteresis of 70 mV.
It provides five unidirectional input channels (VDD1 side) and one unidirectional output channel (VDD2 side), all with Schmitt-trigger inputs (VT+ = 1.67 V, VT– = 1.23 V) and 50 Ω nominal output impedance. The default-high fail-safe mode is implemented via internal pull-ups on all I/O lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI clocked at ≥75 MHz with margin. |
| Propagation Delay | 8.0 ns typical - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical feedback paths in motor gate drivers. |
| Channel Configuration | 5 inputs / 1 output - matches asymmetric signal routing in isolated ADC monitoring + PWM return paths. |
| Isolation Rating | 2.5 kVRMS - certified to UL 1577, CSA 5A, VDE 0884-10, and IEC 62368-1 reinforced insulation. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| CMTI | 50 kV/µs - prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt environments like IGBT gate drive circuits. |
| Fail-Safe Default | High - ensures safe logic-high state on output during VDD1 loss, critical for enable/disable control signals. |
Pinout & Package
SI8661EB-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 standard JEDEC land pattern. Pin numbering follows counter-clockwise orientation from notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side power supply | Supplies 5-channel transmitter side; bypass requires 0.1 µF capacitor to GND1. |
| GND1 | Input-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1 and all five input signals; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier. |
| IN1–IN5 | Digital input terminals | Accept 2.0–5.5 V logic; Schmitt-trigger inputs provide 440 mV hysteresis for noise rejection. |
| VDD2 | Output-side power supply | Supplies single-channel receiver; independent UVLO allows asymmetric power sequencing. |
| GND2 | Output-side ground reference | Return path for VDD2 and output; galvanically isolated from GND1 per safety certification. |
| OUT | Isolated digital output | Drives 50 Ω loads; default-high state maintained during VDD1 undervoltage per ordering option. |
| NC | No-connect pins (pins 8, 9, 16) | Internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid performance degradation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation barrier | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift-ensures stable 60-year life at rated working voltage. |
| Selectably high fail-safe mode | Guarantees logic-high output during VDD1 loss, enabling safe shutdown in BMS fault detection paths. |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 8.8 mA (VDD1) + 23 mA (VDD2) at 5 V - reduces thermal load in compact inverters and chargers. |
| Precise inter-channel timing | 0.5 ns channel-to-channel skew - maintains phase alignment across multi-sensor isolated ADC sampling. |
| Automotive-grade variant available | SI8661EB-AU qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40 to 150 °C) with PPAP and IMDS support. |
Applications
| Motor Control Feedback | Isolated ADC Interface |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Connecting sigma-delta modulator outputs (e.g., AD7403) to MCU-side digital filters in isolated power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Carries 1-bit bitstream at 20 MSPS while rejecting common-mode noise from switching nodes. Use Value: Achieves >85 dB SNR in isolated DC-DC converters by maintaining 50 kV/µs CMTI and 5 ns minimum pulse width integrity. |
| Battery Management System | On-Board Charger Control |
Use Scenario: Transmitting cell voltage monitoring alerts and pack contactor control commands between MCU and high-voltage battery stack. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fail-safe high-level enable signal to precharge relay drivers during HV engagement sequences. Use Value: Ensures contactor remains de-energized during MCU reset or supply brownout, preventing unsafe HV energization. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM141E0BRZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 2.5 kVRMS, SOIC-16; no selectable fail-safe default; higher 100 Mbps supply current (12.5 mA/ch). | Lacks 5:1 channel asymmetry; unsuitable for dedicated feedback + control routing where SI8661EB-B-IUR's configuration reduces component count. | Choose when 4-channel symmetry suffices and SOIC-16 footprint is preferred over QSOP-16. |
| ISO6761QDWR | 6-channel, 100 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16; default-low only; AEC-Q100 Grade 1; higher 100 Mbps current (15.2 mA/ch at 5 V). | Higher isolation rating but lower speed; fixed low-fail-safe conflicts with BMS enable logic requiring high-default assertion. | Choose only if 5 kVRMS is mandatory and 100 Mbps meets system timing; verify fail-safe polarity compatibility. |
Compared with ADUM141E0BRZ and ISO6761QDWR, SI8661EB-B-IUR uniquely delivers 5:1 channel asymmetry, selectable high-fail-safe mode, and QSOP-16 packaging-reducing board space and eliminating external pull-up resistors in safety-critical BMS and motor control signal chains.

FAQ
What is the default output state of SI8661EB-B-IUR during VDD1 undervoltage?
The SI8661EB-B-IUR has a factory-configured default-high fail-safe mode. When VDD1 drops below UVLO– (2.16 V), the OUT pin remains logic high as long as VDD2 is powered-critical for maintaining safe states in battery disconnect controls. This behavior is confirmed in Table 3.1 and Ordering Guide entry for SI8661EB-B-IUR.
Does SI8661EB-B-IUR require external bypass capacitors?
Yes, SI8661EB-B-IUR requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VDD1 and GND1, and another between VDD2 and GND2, placed within 3 mm of respective pins. This is mandatory per Section 3.3.1 to suppress supply transients and ensure stable RF modulation-omission causes increased jitter and potential startup failure.
What is the maximum ambient temperature rating for SI8661EB-B-IUR?
SI8661EB-B-IUR is rated for –40 to 125 °C ambient operation per Table 4.1. At 125 °C, derating applies: max data rate remains 150 Mbps, but supply current increases ~15% versus 25 °C. Full specification compliance is guaranteed across this range without external heatsinking.
Can SI8661EB-B-IUR replace SI8661BB-B-IUR in an existing design?
Yes, SI8661EB-B-IUR is pin-compatible and functionally identical to SI8661BB-B-IUR except for default output state: SI8661EB-B-IUR defaults high, while SI8661BB-B-IUR defaults low. No PCB changes are needed, but firmware must validate logic polarity on OUT during power transitions.
Is SI8661EB-B-IUR certified for reinforced insulation per IEC 62368-1?
Yes, SI8661EB-B-IUR carries VDE 0884-10 and IEC 62368-1 reinforced insulation certification at 2.5 kVRMS, validated per Table 4.6. This enables direct use in SELV/PELV boundaries of medical and industrial end equipment without additional system-level creepage verification.
