Product details
Overview
SI8663ED-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 selectable high-default fail-safe mode. It operates across –40 to 125 °C and supports 2.5–5.5 V dual supplies, enabling robust signal isolation in high-noise industrial motor drives and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI8663ED-ASR datasheet, SI8663ED-ASR pinout, SI8663ED-ASR application, or SI8663ED-ASR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-16 wide-body package details, fail-safe behavior under undervoltage, CMTI of 50 kV/µs, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification - all critical for isolated gate driver interfaces and high-reliability power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The SI8663ED-ASR implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and providing inherent noise immunity without optical components. Its architecture delivers sub-10 ns propagation delay with <0.5 ns channel-channel skew and <2 ns propagation delay skew between units.
It features independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides (VDD1/VDD2), Schmitt-trigger inputs with 0.44 V typical hysteresis, and fail-safe logic that holds outputs high when VDD1 is unpowered - a factory-configured ordering option confirmed for this part number.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels & Direction | 3 input / 3 output channels; enables bidirectional signal isolation across split supply domains |
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation (UL, VDE, CSA, CQC certified); supports functional safety in >1000 V systems |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps; sustains clean eye diagrams at full speed with 350 ps peak jitter |
| Propagation Delay | 8.0 ns typical (5–13 ns max); ensures tight timing control in real-time motor control loops |
| CMTI | 50 kV/µs minimum; prevents false triggering during fast transients in inverters and SMPS |
| Supply Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side; allows interoperability with 3.3 V controllers and 5 V I/O while maintaining low power |
| Fail-Safe Default | High-output state when VDD1 is unpowered; eliminates floating states in fault conditions |
Pinout & Package
SI8663ED-ASR is housed in a RoHS-compliant 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (WB SOIC-16) with 8.3 mm creepage and 8.0 mm clearance, supporting reinforced insulation up to 5 kVRMS. Pin assignments are symmetrically split across isolation barrier: Pins 1–8 serve VDD1/GND1/input side; Pins 9–16 serve VDD2/GND2/output side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 | VDD1, GND1, IN1–IN3 | VDD1 powers input-side circuitry; GND1 is isolated reference; IN1–IN3 accept 2.0–5.5 V logic signals with Schmitt trigger thresholds |
| 7, 8 | GND1, VDD1 | Dual ground and supply pins reduce impedance and improve noise rejection on input side |
| 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 | OUT1–OUT3, GND2, VDD2 | OUT1–OUT3 drive 50 Ω loads with VOH ≥ VDD2–0.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V; VDD2/GND2 form isolated output domain |
| 15, 16 | VDD2, GND2 | Dedicated supply/ground pair for output side ensures stable level-shifting and minimizes cross-talk |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift; achieves 60-year life at rated working voltage |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | Factory-set high-default output ensures defined state during input-side power loss - no external pull-ups needed |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 16.4 mA per side at 5 V (32.8 mA total); reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts |
| Precision timing | 0.5 ns channel-channel skew and 2 ns propagation delay skew enable synchronized multi-channel sampling |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Rated for automotive applications including battery management and on-board chargers - zero-defect manufacturing flow |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6630ARIZ-RL | Integrated isolated DC-DC converter (500 mW); 50 Mbps max data rate; 3.75 kVRMS isolation | Suitable where auxiliary power is needed on isolated side; lower bandwidth limits high-speed feedback use | Choose ADUM6630ARIZ-RL only if isolated power rail generation is required - SI8663ED-ASR requires external isolated supplies |
| ISO6763RWER | 6-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS; 2.25–5.5 V supply; no fail-safe default selection; 10 ns propagation delay typical | Lacks configurable fail-safe output; higher propagation delay impacts timing-critical control loops | ISO6763RWER fits cost-sensitive industrial applications without fail-safe requirement; SI8663ED-ASR preferred for automotive BMS where defined default state is mandatory |
Compared with ADUM6630ARIZ-RL and ISO6763RWER, SI8663ED-ASR uniquely combines 150 Mbps speed, factory-set high-fail-safe mode, and AEC-Q100 qualification - making it optimal for high-bandwidth, safety-critical automotive and industrial isolation where deterministic output behavior during faults is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and certification status of SI8663ED-ASR?
SI8663ED-ASR provides 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation and is certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-10, CSA 5A, and CQC GB4943.1 standards. These approvals validate its suitability for safety-critical applications including medical equipment and electric vehicle battery systems where reinforced insulation is mandated by IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1.
Does SI8663ED-ASR require external bypass capacitors?
Yes, SI8663ED-ASR requires a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VDD1 and GND1, and another between VDD2 and GND2. These must be placed as close as possible to the respective supply pins to suppress high-frequency noise and ensure stable operation - a requirement explicitly specified in the Skyworks datasheet Section 3.3.1.
How does the fail-safe mode operate in SI8663ED-ASR?
SI8663ED-ASR is configured at manufacture for high-default fail-safe operation: when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, all three outputs (OUT1–OUT3) are driven high. This behavior is confirmed in Table 3.1 and Ordering Guide - distinct from low-default variants like SI8663BD-AS - and eliminates need for external pull-up resistors.
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous operation of SI8663ED-ASR?
SI8663ED-ASR operates continuously from –40 to 125 °C ambient temperature. This range is guaranteed across full data rates and supply voltages per Table 4.1, and aligns with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements - enabling deployment in engine compartments, traction inverters, and industrial enclosures without derating.
Can SI8663ED-ASR interface directly with 1.8 V logic?
No, SI8663ED-ASR does not support 1.8 V logic levels. Its input thresholds (VT+ = 1.4–1.9 V, VT– = 1.0–1.4 V) and VIH minimum of 2.0 V require minimum 2.5 V supply on each side. For 1.8 V systems, level-shifting circuitry or a different isolator such as Si86xx with 1.8 V compatible inputs must be used - SI8663ED-ASR is specified for 2.5–5.5 V operation only.
