Product details
Overview
SI8645BA-B-IS1 from Skyworks is a quad-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 4-input/0-output channel configuration, 1.0 kV RMS isolation rating, and SOIC-16 narrow-body package. It delivers 150 Mbps data rate, <10 ns propagation delay, and ultra-low power consumption (1.6 mA/channel @1 Mbps, 5 V), enabling robust signal isolation in industrial motor control and isolated ADC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8645BA-B-IS1 datasheet, SI8645BA-B-IS1 pinout, SI8645BA-B-IS1 application, or SI8645BA-B-IS1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, fail-safe output state selection, and validated automotive-grade alternatives for high-reliability system design.
Technical Context
The SI8645BA-B-IS1 implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating startup initialization and delivering superior noise immunity versus optocouplers. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs ensure >0.44 V hysteresis, while dual supply domains (VDD1/VDD2) support independent 2.5–5.5 V operation per side.
All four channels are input-only on Side A and output-only on Side B, with no enable pins (EN1/EN2 not present per Si8645 ordering). Default output state is low during power loss-a factory-configured fail-safe mode confirmed in Table 1.1 and Section 3.4.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 4 unidirectional, A-side input → B-side output only |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links (e.g., SPI, RS-485 transceiver control) |
| Propagation Delay | 5–13 ns - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical feedback loops in motor gate drivers |
| Isolation Rating | 1.0 kV RMS - certified to UL 1577, CSA 5A, and IEC 60950-1 basic insulation |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5–5.5 V per side - interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog subsystems |
| Fail-Safe Output | Default Low - ensures safe deactivation of downstream logic during VDD1 loss |
| Power @ 1 Mbps | 1.6 mA/channel @ 5 V - reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
SI8645BA-B-IS1 uses a RoHS-compliant 16-pin narrow-body SOIC package (5.3 mm width, JEDEC MS-012AC), optimized for space-constrained industrial PCBs. Creepage/clearance meets 1.0 kV RMS safety requirements without requiring extra board area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side power supply | Supplies Side A logic; must be ≥2.375 V for valid operation |
| GND1 | Input-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1; must be isolated from GND2 by ≥8 mm creepage |
| INA1–INA4 | Input signals to Side A | Schmitt-triggered; VIH ≥2.0 V, VIL ≤0.8 V; no external pull-ups needed |
| VDD2 | Output-side power supply | Supplies Side B drivers; independent of VDD1; enables level-shifting |
| GND2 | Output-side ground reference | Return path for VDD2; galvanically isolated from GND1 |
| OUTB1–OUTB4 | Isolated output signals | CMOS-compatible; VOH ≥VDD2–0.4 V, VOL ≤0.4 V @ 4 mA load |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Pins 1, 2, 15, 16 are unused; must remain floating or tied to GND/VDD2 per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates startup delay and optical aging; stable performance over –40 to +125 °C |
| Selectable fail-safe output | Factory-set default-low state prevents undefined logic during input-side brownout |
| Tri-state capability via EN | Not applicable to SI8645 - all outputs permanently enabled (no EN pins per Table 3.2) |
| High CMTI immunity | ≥50 kV/µs common-mode transient rejection - suppresses noise in motor drive environments |
| Low pulse width distortion | ≤4.5 ns PWD - preserves signal integrity in high-frequency clock distribution |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Isolated ADC Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Gate driver signal isolation in 3-phase inverters with IGBTs/MOSFETs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transfers PWM enable/disable commands from MCU to isolated gate driver ICs. Use Value: 150 Mbps rate supports fast dead-time control; <10 ns delay enables precise timing alignment between phases. | Use Scenario: Isolating serial interface (SPI) between precision ADC and host processor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional data isolation for ADC conversion results and configuration writes. Use Value: 5 ns minimum pulse width accommodates standard SPI SCLK timing; low skew (<2.5 ns) maintains sampling accuracy. |
| Medical Patient Monitoring | Industrial PLC I/O Modules |
Use Scenario: Isolating sensor front-end signals (ECG, SpO₂) from main processing unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides reinforced insulation barrier meeting IEC 60601-1 patient safety requirements. Use Value: 1.0 kV RMS rating satisfies basic insulation for Class I medical devices; low leakage current (<±10 µA) minimizes measurement error. | Use Scenario: Digital input conditioning in modular PLC backplanes with field-side voltage transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Converts 24 V DC field signals to clean 3.3 V logic for CPU-side FPGA or microcontroller. Use Value: Schmitt-trigger inputs reject EMI in factory-floor environments; 125 °C max ambient rating supports convection-cooled enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8645BB-B-IS1 | Same pinout and channel count, but 2.5 kV RMS isolation rating | Required for higher working voltage systems (e.g., 400 V DC bus monitoring) | Select when end-equipment safety certification demands >1.0 kV basic insulation |
| ADUM140D0BRZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 2.5 kV RMS, SOIC-16 NB; no selectable fail-safe mode (default high) | Lacks configurable default output state; requires external pull-down for low-fail-safe behavior | Choose if legacy ADI ecosystem compatibility is prioritized over fail-safe flexibility |
Compared with SI8645BA-B-IS1, SI8645BB-B-IS1 offers higher isolation for demanding industrial environments, while ADUM140D0BRZ provides functional equivalence at the cost of fixed default output behavior-requiring additional external components to replicate SI8645BA-B-IS1's low-fail-safe assurance.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI8645BA-B-IS1?
The SI8645BA-B-IS1 has a certified 1.0 kV RMS isolation rating per UL 1577 and CSA Component Notice 5A. This rating applies to continuous working voltage under normal operating conditions and is validated for basic insulation per IEC 60950-1. It does not support reinforced insulation requirements; for those, SI8645BD-B-IS or SI8645BT-IS variants must be selected.
Does SI8645BA-B-IS1 support enable/disable control of its outputs?
No, SI8645BA-B-IS1 does not include enable inputs (EN1/EN2). As specified in Table 3.2 of the Si864x datasheet, the Si8645 variant has no enable pins-its four outputs (OUTB1–OUTB4) are always active when VDD2 is powered. This differs from Si8640/Si8641/Si8642 variants which provide EN functionality.
What is the default output state of SI8645BA-B-IS1 during input-side power loss?
The SI8645BA-B-IS1 is configured as a default-low device per its ordering code "BA" (see Table 1.1). When VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, OUTB1–OUTB4 assert logic low within 12 ns (tSD parameter), ensuring fail-safe shutdown of downstream circuitry such as gate drivers or relay controllers.
Can SI8645BA-B-IS1 operate with 2.5 V supplies on both sides?
Yes, SI8645BA-B-IS1 supports 2.5–5.5 V on both VDD1 and VDD2 independently. At 2.5 V, typical supply current is 1.5 mA per channel at 1 Mbps and 3.5 mA per channel at 100 Mbps-enabling direct interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers and sensors without level shifters.
Is SI8645BA-B-IS1 qualified for automotive applications?
No, SI8645BA-B-IS1 is an industrial-grade part (suffix "-I"). Automotive qualification requires the "-A" suffix (e.g., SI8645BA-AU). While electrically identical, automotive-grade units undergo AEC-Q100 stress testing, PPAP documentation, and IMDS/CAMDS compliance-mandatory for vehicle ECUs, battery management, and traction inverters.
