Product details
Overview
SI8663BB-AS1R from Skyworks is a six-channel digital isolator with 3 input channels on VDD1 side and 3 on VDD2 side, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate, <10 ns propagation delay, and 2.5 kVRMS isolation in a narrow-body SOIC-16 package. It operates from 2.5–5.5 V, features Schmitt-trigger inputs, selectable fail-safe low-default output, and is qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q100.
For engineers reviewing the SI8663BB-AS1R datasheet, SI8663BB-AS1R pinout, SI8663BB-AS1R application, or SI8663BB-AS1R equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, automotive-grade timing performance, isolation safety certifications (UL, VDE, CQC), and real-world design context for motor control, battery management, and isolated power systems.
Technical Context
The SI8663BB-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 supports independent 2.5–5.5 V operation on both sides with separate undervoltage lockout (UVLO) monitors per side.
Each of its six bidirectional-capable channels uses Schmitt-trigger inputs (VT+ = 1.67 V typ, VT– = 1.23 V typ) and delivers 50 Ω nominal output impedance. The device achieves 0.5 ns typical channel-to-channel skew and 35 kV/µs minimum common-mode transient immunity (CMTI), meeting reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1.
Key Specifications

| 7, 8 | GND1 | Input-side ground reference; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor near pin |
| 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 | VDD2-side I/O (3 inputs, 3 outputs) | Side B interface pins; electrically isolated from VDD1 side; enable galvanic separation of domains |
| 15, 16 | GND2 | Output-side ground reference; requires separate PCB plane from GND1 to maintain isolation integrity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8663BB-IS1R | Industrial-grade (–I suffix); identical electrical specs and pinout but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and PPAP documentation | Suitable for non-automotive industrial automation where automotive reliability validation is not required | Choose SI8663BB-IS1R for cost-sensitive industrial designs without automotive certification mandates |
| ADUM6603ARWZ | 6-channel, 2.5 kV rms, 150 Mbps, but uses iCoupler magnetic isolation; higher supply current (22 mA @ 100 Mbps, 5 V) | Valid for medical/industrial use; lacks AEC-Q100 and automotive PPAP support | Prefer SI8663BB-AS1R when automotive qualification, lower power, or higher CMTI (50 vs. 35 kV/µs) is critical |
Compared with SI8663BB-IS1R and ADUM6603ARWZ, the SI8663BB-AS1R uniquely combines automotive qualification, 16.4 mA supply current at 100 Mbps, and 50 kV/µs CMTI-making it optimal for high-reliability EV power electronics where safety certification and noise resilience are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8663BB-AS1R?
The SI8663BB-AS1R is rated for 2.5 kVRMS isolation and certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-10, CSA Component Notice 5A, and CQC GB4943.1 standards. It meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60950-1 and IEC 62368-1, making it suitable for automotive and medical applications where regulatory compliance is mandatory. SI8663BB-AS1R maintains these ratings across its full –40°C to +125°C operating range.
Does SI8663BB-AS1R support bidirectional communication on all six channels?
SI8663BB-AS1R has fixed channel directionality: three channels are unidirectional from VDD1 to VDD2, and three from VDD2 to VDD1 - it does not support dynamic bidirectional mode per channel. However, the 3+3 configuration enables full-duplex system-level communication (e.g., command + status feedback). SI8663BB-AS1R's pin assignments reflect this asymmetric I/O split, with no software or hardware reconfiguration required.
What is the default output behavior of SI8663BB-AS1R during power loss on the input side?
The SI8663BB-AS1R is configured with a factory-selectable fail-safe mode; the "BB" ordering code indicates a low-default output state when VDD1 is unpowered and VDD2 remains active. This ensures downstream circuitry (e.g., gate drivers or safety relays) defaults to a safe, de-energized condition during MCU brownout or reset events. SI8663BB-AS1R implements this via internal pull-downs on VDD1-side inputs and outputs.
How does SI8663BB-AS1R compare to optocouplers in terms of propagation delay and lifetime?
SI8663BB-AS1R delivers 8 ns typical propagation delay - over 10× faster than standard optocouplers (typically >100 ns) - enabling high-frequency control loops. Its RF-based semiconductor isolation barrier guarantees 60-year operational life at rated voltage, eliminating LED degradation and temperature-dependent parameter drift inherent in optocouplers. SI8663BB-AS1R also avoids start-up initialization delays, achieving valid output within 40 µs of power application.
Can SI8663BB-AS1R operate with mismatched supply voltages on VDD1 and VDD2 sides?
Yes, SI8663BB-AS1R supports independent 2.5–5.5 V operation on VDD1 and VDD2 - for example, 3.3 V on the MCU side (VDD1) and 5 V on the actuator side (VDD2). Each side has its own UVLO monitor (VDDUV+ = 2.24 V typ), ensuring reliable startup and shutdown behavior regardless of supply sequencing. SI8663BB-AS1R maintains full 150 Mbps data rate and timing specs across all valid voltage combinations within this range.
