SI8460AB-A-IS1R

Digital Isolators Overview

The SI8460AB-A-IS1R is a general-purpose digital isolator manufactured by Skyworks Solutions Inc. It features six channels of unidirectional data transmission with a data rate of 1 Mbps. The device provides galvanic isolation with an insulation voltage of 2500 Vrms and a typical common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 25 kV/µs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.70 V to 5.5 V and is housed in a 16-lead SOIC narrow package.

Digital Isolators Feature Summary

• Provides galvanic isolation between circuits operating at different voltage levels
• Features high-speed operation capable of DC to 150 Mbps data rates
• Requires no start-up initialization for immediate functionality
• Supports wide operating supply voltages from 2.70 V to 5.5 V

Digital Isolators Applications

• General-purpose digital isolation
• Isolating circuits with different ground potentials
• Industrial communication interfaces

Digital Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against the datasheet to confirm the exact isolation rating and pinout configuration, as variations exist within the SI8460 family. Ensure the order matches the required channel count and package type. Confirm lifecycle status with the manufacturer prior to procurement, as availability may vary.

Digital Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 6-channel isolator with 2500 Vrms isolation is required. Compare CMTI specifications against noise environments. Verify that the 1 Mbps base rate meets system timing requirements, noting the series supports higher speeds in other variants. Check thermal dissipation limits for the SOIC-16 package.

Digital Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the SI8460 series of digital isolators from Skyworks Solutions. These devices utilize capacitive coupling technology to provide robust signal isolation. The series is designed for applications requiring reliable data transmission across isolated boundaries without the need for external components or initialization sequences.

Digital Isolators Replacement Considerations

Check for SI8460AA-B-IS1R or SI8460AB-A-IS1R if different isolation ratings or packaging options are needed. Verify pin compatibility before substituting. Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference guide for approved alternatives.
