Overview

The Si8661BD-B-IS is a high-performance, six-channel digital isolator providing 5000Vrms isolation using Skyworks proprietary capacitive coupling technology. It supports data rates up to 150Mbps with a 5/1 directional configuration, making it ideal for isolating high-speed digital buses while maintaining signal integrity. This industrial-grade component operates from 2.5V to 5.5V and features high common-mode transient immunity of 35kV/us.

Why Choose This Part

The Si8661BD-B-IS offers superior reliability over optocouplers by providing lower propagation delays, reduced power consumption, and a much longer service life. With 150Mbps throughput and 5000Vrms isolation in a wide-body SOIC-16 package, it meets stringent safety requirements while occupying minimal board space for six-channel isolation.

Applications

Industrial Fieldbus Isolation
Protects sensitive controllers from high-voltage transients in RS-485, CAN, or PROFIBUS networks.
Isolated SPI/UART Interfaces
Enables safe high-speed communication between a low-voltage MCU and high-voltage power electronics.
Motor Control Feedback
Isolates gate drive signals and sensor feedback in high-power motor inverter systems.
Battery Management Systems
Provides safety isolation between high-voltage battery stacks and the central monitoring unit.

Getting Started

When designing with the Si8661BD-B-IS, ensure both VDD1 and VDD2 are decoupled with 0.1uF and 1uF capacitors placed as close to the pins as possible. For evaluation, the Si86xxISO-KIT provides a hardware platform to test signal integrity and power consumption across various supply voltages. Follow PCB layout guidelines for high-voltage creepage and clearance as defined by the 7.50mm wide-body SOIC footprint.
