Product details
Overview
SI8663BD-ASR from Skyworks is a six-channel, ultra-low-power digital isolator with 3 input channels on VDD1 side and 3 output channels on VDD2 side, 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation rating, 150 Mbps data rate, and fail-safe default-low output mode. It operates across –40 to 125 °C and supports 2.5–5.5 V dual supplies, enabling use in high-reliability isolated gate drivers for traction inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SI8663BD-ASR datasheet, SI8663BD-ASR pinout, SI8663BD-ASR application, or SI8663BD-ASR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 kVRMS wide-body SOIC-16 package, channel configuration (3/3), fail-safe low default state, CMTI ≥50 kV/µs, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive BMS and on-board chargers.
Technical Context
The SI8663BD-ASR implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-no startup initialization required. Its architecture delivers sub-10 ns propagation delay (typ. 8 ns), <2.5 ns channel-channel skew, and 5 ns minimum pulse width, supporting precise timing in bidirectional isolated communication paths.
It features independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides (VDDUV+ = 2.24 V typ.), Schmitt-trigger inputs (VT+ = 1.67 V, VT– = 1.23 V), and selectable fail-safe mode implemented via internal pull-downs on all six channels-confirmed by ordering code "BD" (default low) and "-AS" (automotive grade).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels (Input/Output) | 3 on VDD1 side / 3 on VDD2 side - enables balanced signal splitting in isolated feedback loops |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, RS-485, and PWM edge transmission in motor control |
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements per VDE 0884-10 and IEC 62368-1 |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns typical - ensures sub-10 ns timing alignment critical for gate driver dead-time control |
| CMTI | ≥50 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in high dv/dt environments like SiC/GaN power stages |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends |
| Fail-Safe Default | Low - guarantees safe-off state during VDD1 loss in battery management system monitoring paths |
Pinout & Package
SI8663BD-ASR uses a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (WB SOIC-16) with 8 mm creepage, certified for 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation. Pin spacing and land pattern comply with JEDEC MS-013AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side supply | Power for 3 input channels; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND1 |
| GND1 | Input-side ground | Reference for input logic and UVLO detection on VDD1 side |
| IN1–IN3 | Digital inputs | Schmitt-triggered; accept 2.0–5.5 V logic; internally pulled down in BD variant |
| VDD2 | Output-side supply | Power for 3 output drivers; independent of VDD1 for true galvanic isolation |
| GND2 | Output-side ground | Reference for output logic; physically separated from GND1 by isolation barrier |
| OUT1–OUT3 | Digital outputs | 50 Ω nominal impedance; default low when VDD1 unpowered (fail-safe) |
| NC | No connect | Pins 1, 16 - unused; must remain floating per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation barrier | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift issues inherent in optocouplers |
| Automotive-grade construction | AEC-Q100 qualified with AIAG-compliant PPAP, IMDS/CAMDS support, zero-defect manufacturing flow |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 16.4 mA per side at 5 V - reduces thermal load in sealed EV power modules |
| High noise immunity | 50 kV/µs CMTI + 0.44 V input hysteresis - suppresses EMI in 800 V battery systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8663BD-BIS | Industrial grade (–I suffix), same 3/3 channel count, 5 kVRMS, WB SOIC-16, but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and PPAP documentation | Approved for industrial automation but not automotive production programs | Select SI8663BD-BIS only for non-automotive designs where automotive traceability is unnecessary |
| ADUM6633ARZ | Analog Devices part with 3/3 channel split, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16, but higher 22 mA supply current at 100 Mbps and no fail-safe low option | Requires external pull-downs to emulate fail-safe behavior; not AEC-Q100 qualified | Choose ADUM6633ARZ only if existing ADI ecosystem integration outweighs power and safety certification trade-offs |
Compared with SI8663BD-BIS, SI8663BD-ASR adds automotive process controls, PPAP, and IMDS compliance without sacrificing timing or power; versus ADUM6633ARZ, it delivers lower dynamic current, guaranteed fail-safe low, and full automotive qualification-critical for BMS and OBC deployment.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8663BD-ASR?
SI8663BD-ASR provides 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation and is certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-10, CSA 5A, and CQC GB4943.1 standards. It meets IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1 requirements for reinforced insulation, making it suitable for automotive and medical applications where high working voltage endurance is mandatory.
Does SI8663BD-ASR require startup initialization or configuration registers?
No, SI8663BD-ASR requires no startup initialization or register programming. It begins passing data within 15–40 µs of VDD1/VDD2 reaching UVLO threshold (2.24 V typ.), with no firmware overhead. This zero-config behavior is inherent to its RF modulation architecture and confirmed in Section 3.1 of the datasheet.
How does the fail-safe default-low mode function in SI8663BD-ASR during power loss?
In SI8663BD-ASR, the "BD" ordering code specifies internal pull-downs on all six channels. When VDD1 is unpowered (0 V), outputs remain low as long as VDD2 is active-ensuring safe shutdown in BMS monitoring paths. This behavior is defined in Table 3.1 and verified in functional testing per AEC-Q100 stress conditions.
What is the maximum achievable data rate and timing performance of SI8663BD-ASR?
SI8663BD-ASR supports up to 150 Mbps with 8 ns typical propagation delay, 0.2 ns typical pulse width distortion, and ≤2.5 ns channel-channel skew. These values are measured under 5 V/15 pF conditions and remain stable from –40 to 125 °C, enabling reliable high-speed SPI and PWM isolation in EV power electronics.
Is SI8663BD-ASR compatible with 2.5 V logic interfaces on both sides?
Yes, SI8663BD-ASR operates with VDD1 and VDD2 independently configurable from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. At 2.5 V, it delivers 1.5 mA/channel at 1 Mbps and 3.5 mA/channel at 100 Mbps-fully compatible with low-voltage microcontrollers and ADCs while maintaining 5 kVRMS isolation integrity.
