Product details
Overview
SI8631ET-AS from Skyworks is an automotive-grade triple-channel digital isolator with 2 input channels on VDD1 side and 1 output channel on VDD2 side, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate, <10 ns propagation delay, and 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation in a wide-body SOIC-16 package. It operates across –40 to +125 °C and features selectable high-default fail-safe mode for power-loss scenarios in battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI8631ET-AS datasheet, SI8631ET-AS pinout, SI8631ET-AS application, or SI8631ET-AS equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, automotive AEC-Q100 qualification status, fail-safe behavior under undervoltage, CMTI ≥60 kV/µs, and precise timing parameters critical for traction inverter gate drive and isolated ADC interfaces.
Technical Context
The SI8631ET-AS implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor 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), ensuring deterministic fail-safe transitions during brownout.
It integrates Schmitt-trigger inputs (0.44 V hysteresis), 50 Ω nominal output impedance, and dual enable controls (EN1 on Side A, EN2 on Side B) allowing independent tri-state control of A3 and B1/B2 outputs-enabling multiplexed signal routing in motor control feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, CAN FD, and isolated PWM feedback in real-time motor control. |
| Propagation Delay | 8.0 ns typical - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical gate driver synchronization in SiC/GaN inverters. |
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS reinforced - certified to VDE 0884-10 and UL 1577, suitable for functional safety compliance in EV battery packs. |
| Fail-Safe Default | High output - ensures active-high enable signals remain asserted during VDD1 loss in BMS monitoring circuits. |
| CMTI | ≥60 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in high-dV/dt environments like traction inverters with >10 kV/µs switching transients. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 to +125 °C - validated for under-hood automotive use per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. |
Pinout & Package
SI8631ET-AS uses a RoHS-compliant wide-body SOIC-16 package (10.3 mm creepage/clearance), optimized for reinforced insulation and high-voltage system separation in automotive applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | VDD1, GND1, IN1, IN2 | Input-side power, ground, and two digital inputs - accepts 2.5–5.5 V logic; Schmitt-triggered for noise margin. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | A3, EN1, GND1, VDD1 | Third input channel (A3) and dedicated enable (EN1) - EN1 controls A3 tri-state; shared VDD1/GND1 with inputs. |
| 9, 10, 11, 12 | VDD2, GND2, B1, B2 | Output-side power, ground, and two isolated outputs - drives 50 Ω loads directly; default-high when VDD1 lost. |
| 13, 14, 15, 16 | B3, EN2, GND2, VDD2 | Third output (B3) and enable (EN2) - EN2 controls B1/B2 tri-state; B3 remains active unless EN2 = low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation barrier | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift-ensures 60-year life at rated working voltage with stable timing over –40 to +125 °C. |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | Factory-configured high-default output guarantees safe state retention in BMS fault detection paths during primary supply failure. |
| Channel-channel skew | 0.4 ns typical - enables tightly synchronized sampling of three-phase current/voltage in isolated ADC applications. |
| Low-power operation | 6.6 mA per side at 100 Mbps (2.5 V) - reduces thermal load in compact OBC modules with limited heatsinking. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Grade 1 (–40 to +125 °C) with AIAG PPAP support and IMDS/CAMDS compliance - meets full automotive production traceability requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8631ED-AS | Same 2:1 channel configuration and 5 kVRMS rating, but default-low fail-safe output instead of high-default. | Suitable where safety logic requires de-assertion of enable signals during power loss (e.g., emergency shutdown paths). | Select SI8631ED-AS only if system architecture mandates low-default behavior; otherwise SI8631ET-AS preserves active states. |
| ADUM3301ARWZ-RL7 | 3-channel, 2:1 direction, 25 Mbps max rate, 2.5 kVRMS isolation, no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Limited to industrial automation or non-automotive BMS due to lower speed, isolation, and no automotive process flow. | Use ADUM3301ARWZ-RL7 only in cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical designs where 150 Mbps and 5 kVRMS are not required. |
Compared with SI8631ED-AS and ADUM3301ARWZ-RL7, SI8631ET-AS uniquely combines automotive-grade reliability, 150 Mbps bandwidth, 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation, and factory-programmed high-default fail-safe behavior-making it the only option qualified for ASIL-B–capable traction inverter and OBC subsystems.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe output behavior of SI8631ET-AS during VDD1 power loss?
SI8631ET-AS is factory-configured with high-default fail-safe mode: when VDD1 is unpowered and VDD2 remains active, all three outputs (B1, B2, B3) assert logic high within 12 ns. This behavior is confirmed in Table 3.1 of the datasheet and ensures safety-critical enable signals remain active during primary-side brownout in battery management systems.
Does SI8631ET-AS support independent enable control for its input and output channels?
Yes. SI8631ET-AS provides EN1 on the input side (pin 6) to control tri-state of A3, and EN2 on the output side (pin 14) to control tri-state of B1/B2. B3 remains enabled unless EN2 is asserted low. This dual-enable architecture allows flexible signal gating in motor control feedback loops without affecting isolated power domains.
What is the maximum common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) specification for SI8631ET-AS?
SI8631ET-AS achieves ≥60 kV/µs CMTI (per Table 4.2), measured at VCM = 1500 V with VI = VDD or 0 V. This exceeds IEC 61800-5-1 requirements for drives and enables reliable operation in SiC/GaN-based traction inverters where dV/dt exceeds 50 kV/µs during switching transitions.
Is SI8631ET-AS pin-compatible with other SI863x variants in the same SOIC-16 wide-body package?
Yes-SI8631ET-AS shares identical pinout and footprint with all SI863x devices in WB SOIC-16 (e.g., SI8631BD-AS, SI8631BT-AS). However, channel count, default output state, and isolation rating differ by part number; design reuse requires verification of logic mapping and fail-safe behavior per application.
What automotive qualifications does SI8631ET-AS hold beyond AEC-Q100?
SI8631ET-AS is built using full automotive-specific manufacturing flows, supported by AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS and CAMDS material declarations, and zero-defect methodology throughout production. It is certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-10 (reinforced), IEC 60601-1, and GB4943.1-meeting system-level safety standards for EV powertrain applications.
