Six-channel isolation at 150 Mbps — the parametric anchor
The SI8660BD-B-IS is a six-channel, unidirectional digital isolator from Skyworks Solutions, built on capacitive coupling technology. It delivers a 150 Mbps data rate across a 5000 Vrms isolation barrier, with all six inputs on side 1 (6/0 channel configuration). Propagation delay is 13 ns max (tpLH/tpHL), pulse-width distortion stays under 4.5 ns, and common-mode transient immunity is rated at 35 kV/µs minimum — numbers that matter when the isolator sits between a noisy motor-drive backplane and a sensitive control-side SPI bus.
