Product details
Overview
SI8631BT-IS2 from Skyworks is a triple-channel digital isolator with 2 input channels on VDD1 side and 1 output channel on VDD2 side, rated for 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation in a wide-body SOIC-16 package. It supports DC–150 Mbps data rates, achieves ≤13 ns propagation delay, features selectable fail-safe low-default output, and operates across –40 to +125 °C for industrial power inverters and isolated ADC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8631BT-IS2 datasheet, SI8631BT-IS2 pinout, SI8631BT-IS2 application, or SI8631BT-IS2 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade compatibility (AEC-Q100), isolation certification details (UL, VDE, CQC), and real-world timing performance including 0.4 ns typical channel-channel skew and 5 ns minimum pulse width.
Technical Context
The SI8631BT-IS2 implements RF-based on/off keying across a silicon-dioxide isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. Its architecture supports independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides (VDD1/VDD2), with thresholds at 2.24 V (rising) and 2.16 V (falling), and includes Schmitt-trigger inputs for >0.44 V hysteresis.
It integrates two enable inputs (EN1 on VDD1 side, EN2 on VDD2 side) allowing independent control of A3 (input-side output) and B1/B2 (output-side outputs). Fail-safe behavior is factory-set: SI8631BT-IS2 defaults to logic low on output when VDD1 is unpowered and VDD2 remains active.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links in motor control gate drivers and isolated CAN FD transceivers. |
| Propagation Delay | 5.0–13 ns - enables precise timing alignment in synchronous isolated ADC sampling systems. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.4–2.5 ns - ensures matched edge timing across isolated signal paths in multi-phase inverter control. |
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS reinforced - meets IEC 60950-1 and VDE 0884-10 requirements for industrial mains-connected equipment. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| CMTI | 60 kV/µs (min) - sustains reliable operation during fast-switching transients in SiC/GaN power stages. |
| Fail-Safe Default | Low - guarantees safe shutdown state in isolated IGBT gate drive circuits upon primary-side power loss. |
Pinout & Package
SI8631BT-IS2 uses a RoHS-compliant 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (7.5 mm creepage, 8.3 mm clearance), qualified for reinforced insulation up to 5 kVRMS and rated for 60-year lifetime at working voltage.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side supply | Power for input logic, EN1, and channel transmitter; must be ≥2.5 V for valid operation. |
| GND1 | Input-side ground | Reference return for VDD1 domain; requires dedicated low-impedance plane separation from GND2. |
| A1, A2 | Input signals (VDD1 side) | Digital inputs with Schmitt-trigger thresholds (1.23–1.67 V); tolerate slow edges and noise up to 50 kV/µs. |
| EN1 | Enable for A3 output | Active-high control: drives A3 high-impedance when low; internal pull-up allows floating if unused. |
| A3 | Input-side output | Isolated output referenced to VDD1/GND1; mirrors A1/A2 logic only when EN1 = high. |
| VDD2 | Output-side supply | Power for output drivers, EN2, and receiver circuitry; independent of VDD1 for dual-supply system design. |
| GND2 | Output-side ground | Isolation barrier reference; must be physically separated from GND1 per safety creepage/clearance rules. |
| B1, B2 | Output signals (VDD2 side) | CMOS outputs with 50 Ω nominal impedance; require controlled-impedance routing above 25 MHz. |
| EN2 | Enable for B1/B2 outputs | Active-high control: disables B1/B2 into high-Z when low; internal pull-up avoids floating states. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No startup initialization | RF modulation architecture enables immediate data transmission after power stabilization-no handshake or configuration required. |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | Factory-configured low-default output ensures predictable de-energized state during VDD1 loss in safety-critical power systems. |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 6.6–13.4 mA per side at 100 Mbps (2.5–5.5 V), reducing thermal load in densely packed industrial PCBs. |
| High CMTI immunity | 60 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt environments like traction inverters. |
| Reinforced VDE 0884-10 rating | Validated surge capability up to 10 kV peak enables use in Class II medical and EV charging infrastructure. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM131D0BRZ | 3-channel, 150 Mbps, 3.75 kVRMS, SOIC-16 narrow body; no fail-safe selection; 2.5–5.5 V supply. | Lacks reinforced 5 kVRMS rating and VDE 0884-10 certification; unsuitable for OBC or medical mains-connected systems. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs safety certification needs and board space permits narrow-body footprint. |
| ISO6731FDWR | 3-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 wide body; fixed low-fail-safe; 1.71–5.5 V supply. | Lower data rate limits use in high-speed motor control; TI's CMTI (85 kV/µs) exceeds SI8631BT-IS2 but lacks AEC-Q100 auto grade. | Prefer for ultra-noisy 48 V battery systems where jitter tolerance >350 ps is acceptable and 150 Mbps is unnecessary. |
Compared with ADUM131D0BRZ and ISO6731FDWR, SI8631BT-IS2 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, VDE 0884-10 reinforced rating, factory-set fail-safe low, and 150 Mbps speed in a single wide-body SOIC-16-making it optimal for automotive OBCs and industrial inverters requiring certified reliability at high data throughput.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8631BT-IS2?
SI8631BT-IS2 is rated for 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation and certified to UL 1577, CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5A, VDE 0884-10 (reinforced), IEC 60950-1, IEC 60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1. These approvals validate its use in medical, industrial, and automotive systems requiring double/reinforced insulation barriers.
Does SI8631BT-IS2 support AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive applications?
Yes, SI8631BT-IS2 is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: –40 to +125 °C) and built using automotive-specific manufacturing flows. Its top marking includes an automotive manufacturing code (N–Z first character), and it supports AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS reporting.
How does the fail-safe mode operate on SI8631BT-IS2?
SI8631BT-IS2 is factory-configured for low-default fail-safe operation: when VDD1 is unpowered and VDD2 remains active, outputs B1 and B2 default to logic low within 12 ns. This behavior is hard-coded and cannot be changed in-circuit-it ensures safe shutdown in isolated gate driver applications.
What are the supply current requirements for SI8631BT-IS2 at 100 Mbps?
At 100 Mbps with 5 V supplies and 15 pF load, SI8631BT-IS2 draws 6.6–8.8 mA on VDD1 and 9.9–13.4 mA on VDD2. At 2.5 V operation, currents reduce to 5.2–7.0 mA (VDD1) and 7.3–9.8 mA (VDD2), enabling low-power isolated sensing in battery-backed systems.
Can SI8631BT-IS2 replace optocouplers in existing designs without layout changes?
SI8631BT-IS2 uses the same wide-body SOIC-16 footprint as legacy optocouplers (e.g., HCPL-0723), enabling drop-in replacement. However, its 50 Ω output impedance and 150 Mbps capability may require minor termination adjustments on high-speed traces-consult Skyworks AN913 for layout guidance before migration.
