SI8610BB-AS

Digital Isolators Overview

The SI8610BB-AS is a digital isolator from the Si861x series manufactured by Skyworks Solutions Inc. It features a single channel with unidirectional polarity and capacitive coupling isolation technology. The device supports a data rate of 150 Mb/s and offers an insulation voltage of 2500 Vrms. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, consuming 1.8 mA of operating current. The propagation delay is 8 ns, with rise and fall times of 4 ns each. It functions in temperatures from -40°C to +125°C and is housed in an SOIC-8 package.

Digital Isolators Feature Summary

• Utilizes capacitive coupling for signal transmission across isolation barriers
• Provides high common-mode transient immunity for reliable operation in noisy environments
• Supports low-power operation suitable for battery-powered applications
• Includes shutdown functionality to minimize power consumption when inactive

Digital Isolators Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Medical equipment signal isolation
• Power metering and energy management
• Automotive electronic control units

Digital Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AS' against official Skyworks documentation to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance. Ensure the SOIC-8 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Confirm that the 2500 Vrms insulation rating meets the safety standards required for your specific application environment. Check for any moisture sensitivity level restrictions during storage and handling.

Digital Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel isolator with 2500 Vrms capability is required. Compare the 150 Mb/s data rate against system timing needs. Consider the SOIC-8 package size relative to available board space. Evaluate the 1.8 mA current consumption against total system power budgets. Verify compatibility with input/output logic levels used in the design.

Digital Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the Si861x family of low-power digital isolators. The family includes variants with different channel counts and insulation voltages. The SI8610BB-AS specifically denotes a single-channel version in an SOIC-8 package. It shares core technology with other members like the SI8610BD-AS but differs in insulation rating and package type.

Digital Isolators Replacement Considerations

The SI8610BB-B-IS is a similar single-channel isolator in the same series but typically packaged in tubes rather than tape and reel. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Other family members like SI8612 offer dual channels but require different footprints.
