Product details
Overview
SI8635BT-IS from Skyworks is a triple-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 3 input channels on VDD1 side and 0 on VDD2 side, rated for 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation in a wide-body SOIC-16 package. It supports up to 150 Mbps data rate, achieves ≤13 ns propagation delay, features selectable fail-safe low-default output, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for industrial power inverters and isolated ADC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8635BT-IS datasheet, SI8635BT-IS pinout, SI8635BT-IS application, or SI8635BT-IS equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated package dimensions, confirmed fail-safe behavior, and real-world timing performance - all specific to the SI8635BT-IS variant with 5 kVRMS rating and wide-body SOIC-16 packaging.
Technical Context
The SI8635BT-IS implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. Its architecture provides three independent isolated signal paths from input side (VDD1) to output side (VDD2), with Schmitt-trigger inputs and no enable pins - consistent with Si8635 family design.
All channels are unidirectional (A→B only), with default-low fail-safe mode activated during input-side power loss while output-side supply remains active. The device meets reinforced insulation requirements per VDE 0884-10 (10 kV surge capable) and UL 1577 (5 kVRMS), supporting safety-critical industrial and automotive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels & Direction | 3 unidirectional channels (VDD1 → VDD2); no reverse or bidirectional capability |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI clock lines or isolated UART at full throughput |
| Propagation Delay | ≤13 ns max - enables tight timing budgets in motor control gate drivers and real-time feedback loops |
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS reinforced - certified to VDE 0884-10 and UL 1577, suitable for mains-connected industrial equipment |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog subsystems |
| Fail-Safe Default | Low-output state during VDD1 loss - prevents undefined logic states in power-loss scenarios for safety-critical outputs |
| CMTI | ≥60 kV/µs - ensures reliable operation in high-noise environments such as variable-frequency drives and EV traction inverters |
Pinout & Package
SI8635BT-IS uses a RoHS-compliant 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (7.5 mm creepage/clearance), optimized for reinforced insulation and high-voltage system separation. Pin assignments follow standard Si8635 layout with dedicated VDD1/GND1 and VDD2/GND2 pairs, plus three isolated output channels (B1–B3) and corresponding inputs (A1–A3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | A1, A2, A3, GND1 | Input-side signal inputs and ground reference; Schmitt-triggered for noise rejection |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | VDD1, NC, NC, NC | Input-side power supply; pins 6–8 are no-connect (not internally bonded) |
| 9, 10, 11, 12 | B1, B2, B3, GND2 | Output-side isolated outputs and ground; drive 15 pF loads with 50 Ω nominal impedance |
| 13, 14, 15, 16 | VDD2, NC, NC, NC | Output-side power supply; pins 14–16 are no-connect (not internally bonded) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-startup initialization | Operates immediately after VDD stabilization - eliminates boot-time delays in safety-critical systems |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | ≤17.8 mA total supply current (VDD1+VDD2) at 5 V - reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts |
| Precise channel matching | ≤2.5 ns channel-to-channel skew - maintains phase alignment across multi-signal isolation (e.g., 3-phase encoder feedback) |
| High CMTI immunity | ≥60 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity - sustains signal integrity during IGBT switching transients |
| Reinforced VDE 0884-10 | 10 kV surge capability - meets stringent insulation requirements for medical and EV battery management systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8635BD-B-IS | Same 3-channel, 5 kVRMS, wide-body SOIC-16, but default-low output uses Si8635BD construction (non-T series); lower CMTI (50 kV/µs vs. 60 kV/µs) | Lacks VDE 0884-10 reinforcement; suitable for non-surge-critical industrial use only | Select SI8635BD-B-IS where cost sensitivity outweighs need for 10 kV surge immunity and highest CMTI |
| ADUM131D0BRWZ | Analog Devices 3-channel isolator, 3.75 kVRMS, narrow-body SOIC-16, 100 Mbps max, no VDE 0884-10 certification | Lower isolation rating and data rate; not qualified for reinforced insulation in medical/EV applications | Choose ADUM131D0BRWZ only for legacy designs requiring pin compatibility with older ADuM131x family |
Compared with SI8635BD-B-IS and ADUM131D0BRWZ, SI8635BT-IS uniquely combines 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation, VDE 0884-10 certification, 150 Mbps speed, and ≥60 kV/µs CMTI - making it the only option qualified for next-generation EV traction inverters and Class II medical devices requiring surge immunity.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8635BT-IS?
SI8635BT-IS is certified for 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 and VDE 0884-10, with 10 kV surge capability. It meets IEC 60950-1, IEC 61010-1, and IEC 60601-1 requirements, and carries CQC and CSA approvals - making SI8635BT-IS suitable for medical, industrial, and EV applications demanding highest insulation integrity.
Does SI8635BT-IS support bidirectional communication or enable functionality?
No. SI8635BT-IS provides three unidirectional channels (A1→B1, A2→B2, A3→B3) only, with no enable pins or reverse-path capability. Unlike Si8631 variants, SI8635BT-IS has no EN1/EN2 terminals - all channels operate continuously when powered, consistent with its fixed 3-input/0-output configuration.
What is the default output behavior of SI8635BT-IS during input-side power loss?
SI8635BT-IS is configured for fail-safe low-default output: when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, outputs B1–B3 drive logic low within 12 ns. This behavior is factory-set and cannot be changed in-circuit - ensuring predictable shutdown states in power-supply fault conditions for SI8635BT-IS.
How does the power consumption of SI8635BT-IS compare at different data rates and supply voltages?
At 100 Mbps and 5 V supply, SI8635BT-IS draws ≤17.8 mA total (VDD1 + VDD2). At 1 Mbps, it consumes ≤3.9 mA (VDD1) + ≤3.1 mA (VDD2). Current scales linearly with data rate and is 20–30% lower at 2.5 V operation - enabling energy-efficient designs in battery-powered isolated sensors using SI8635BT-IS.
Can SI8635BT-IS be used in automotive applications, and what qualifications does it hold?
Yes - SI8635BT-IS is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C) and built using automotive-specific manufacturing flows. It supports AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS reporting, making SI8635BT-IS appropriate for on-board chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverters in hybrid and battery electric vehicles.
