SI8660BB-B-IS1 - 6-Ch 2.5kV Digital Isolator, 150Mbps | Skyworks
The Skyworks Solutions SI8660BB-B-IS1 is a low-power six-channel CMOS digital isolator rated at 2500 Vrms isolation with 150 Mbps data rate, housed in a 16-pin narrow-body SOIC (NSOIC) package. It uses Skyworks' proprietary RF-based CMOS isolation technology, providing six independent isolation channels in a single IC with 35 kV/µs minimum common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) and 8 ns typical propagation delay. The supply range is 2.375 V to 5.5 V on both VDDA and VDDB sides, supporting direct interfacing to low-voltage MCUs as well as legacy 5 V logic without level shifters.
A digital isolator is an integrated circuit that transfers logic signals across a galvanically isolated barrier using an internal high-frequency carrier (RF, magnetic, or optical) instead of optocouplers' slow LED-phototransistor path. It belongs to the hierarchy signal isolator -> isolator -> interface IC -> semiconductor. Compared to optocouplers, CMOS digital isolators deliver 10x to 100x faster data rates, 5x to 10x lower propagation delay, lower power consumption, tighter timing specifications, and better stability over temperature and device lifetime, while also eliminating the aging and CTR degradation inherent to LED-based isolators.
Key features include a fail-safe output (output default-high when input is unpowered), integrated power-on reset, 50 kV/µs transient immunity, 1.5 ns typical channel-to-channel skew, and 50 kV/µs ESD performance on the bus pins. The device supports 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic on each side independently, making it a flexible general-purpose isolator for SPI, I2C, GPIO, RS-485, and digital feedback paths.
Architecturally, the Si866x family uses an on-chip RF carrier modulated by the input data, transmitted across a high-voltage differential capacitive or transformer isolation barrier, then demodulated and re-timed on the secondary side. The internal oscillator and dual supply domains are referenced to separate grounds, enabling full galvanic isolation up to the rated working voltage. The six channels of the SI8660BB variant are partitioned as 0 forward / 6 reverse, suitable for uni-directional multi-channel signal return paths.
Typical applications include industrial fieldbus isolation (RS-485, CAN, Profibus), PLC and DCS I/O modules, isolated SPI/I2C interfaces between microcontrollers and ADCs, isolated gate-drive feedback in motor drives and solar inverters, isolated USB and Ethernet signal paths, and medical equipment patient-isolation barriers. The wide temperature range of -40°C to +125°C supports industrial and automotive-grade designs.
Design tip: place 0.1 µF bypass capacitors within 2 mm of each VDDA/VDDB pin and avoid routing high-speed traces directly under the SOIC body to minimize coupling to the ground plane. The default-high fail-safe output eliminates external pull resistors on the secondary side.
