Product details
Overview
SI8645BB-AS1 from Skyworks is a quad-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 4 input channels on VDD1 side and 0 on VDD2 side, rated for 2.5 kVRMS isolation, 150 Mbps data rate, and –40 to 125 °C operation. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs, tri-state outputs with enable control, selectable low-fail-safe default output, and ultra-low power consumption (1.6 mA/channel @ 1 Mbps, 5 V).
For engineers reviewing the SI8645BB-AS1 datasheet, SI8645BB-AS1 pinout, SI8645BB-AS1 application, or SI8645BB-AS1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-16 narrow-body package details, fail-safe mode behavior, and automotive-grade compatibility per AEC-Q100 - critical for isolated motor control, battery management, and industrial power supply designs.
Technical Context
The SI8645BB-AS1 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, with VDDUV+ = 2.24 V (typ) and hysteresis of 70 mV (typ), ensuring stable operation during brownout conditions.
All four channels are input-only on Side A (VDD1) and output-only on Side B (VDD2), with no enable pins (EN1/EN2 omitted per Si8645 family). Outputs default low during power loss when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active - a factory-configured fail-safe mode confirmed in the Ordering Guide.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 2.5 kVRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 62368-1 and UL 1577 for safety-critical industrial and automotive systems. |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - enables high-speed serial interfaces such as SPI, RS-485, and isolated CAN FD transceivers without timing bottlenecks. |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns (typ) - ensures sub-10 ns timing alignment across isolated domains, critical for real-time motor control and ADC sampling synchronization. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.5 ns (typ) - guarantees tightly matched signal arrival across all four isolated channels, minimizing inter-channel timing errors in multi-signal feedback loops. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy logic without level-shifting circuitry. |
| CMTI | 60 kV/µs (typ) - suppresses false triggering in high-dV/dt environments like inverters and switching power supplies. |
| Fail-Safe Default | Low - output pins drive logic low when VDD1 is unpowered, preventing undefined states in fault-tolerant BMS and OBC systems. |
Pinout & Package
SI8645BB-AS1 is housed in a RoHS-compliant narrow-body SOIC-16 package (5.3 mm width), with creepage/clearance optimized for 2.5 kVRMS working voltage. Pin assignments follow standard Si864x channel mapping with dedicated VDD1/GND1 and VDD2/GND2 pairs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | Input A1–A4 | Unidirectional digital inputs referenced to VDD1/GND1; Schmitt-triggered for >0.44 V hysteresis and noise rejection. |
| 5, 6 | VDD1, GND1 | Primary-side power supply (2.5–5.5 V); bypass capacitor required at pin 5 for stable operation. |
| 7–10 | Output B1–B4 | Isolated outputs referenced to VDD2/GND2; tri-state capable only via external control (no EN pin on SI8645). |
| 11, 12 | VDD2, GND2 | Secondary-side power supply (2.5–5.5 V); independent of VDD1, enabling galvanic separation of power domains. |
| 13–16 | GND1, VDD1, GND2, VDD2 (redundant) | Additional ground and supply pins for improved EMI performance and thermal dissipation in high-density layouts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation barrier | Silicon dioxide dielectric enables 60-year lifetime at rated voltage and eliminates LED aging concerns of optocouplers. |
| Fail-safe low default mode | Guarantees defined logic-low output state during primary-side power loss - essential for safe shutdown in traction inverters. |
| Ultra-low power at 1 Mbps | 1.6 mA per channel @ 5 V reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures and extends battery runtime in portable medical devices. |
| High CMTI (60 kV/µs) | Prevents data corruption in noisy motor drive environments where common-mode transients exceed 50 kV/µs. |
| No start-up initialization | Outputs become valid within 40 µs of VDD application - eliminates boot-time delays in real-time PLC and servo controllers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM140D0BRZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 2.5 kVRMS, SOIC-16 NB; uses iCoupler magnetic coupling; higher 3.2 mA/channel @ 1 Mbps (5 V). | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; not automotive-grade; lower CMTI (35 kV/µs typ). | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial designs where automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| ISO6741QDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 3.75 kVRMS, SOIC-16 NB; TI's capacitive isolator; 1.8 mA/channel @ 1 Mbps (3.3 V); AEC-Q100 Grade 1. | Lower data rate limits use in high-speed SPI or isolated USB; higher isolation rating suits medical mains-connected equipment. | Chosen when 3.75 kVRMS and automotive qualification are mandatory but 150 Mbps is not required. |
Compared with ADUM140D0BRZ and ISO6741QDWR, SI8645BB-AS1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification (–40 to 125 °C), 150 Mbps speed, 2.5 kVRMS rating, and fail-safe low default in a narrow-body SOIC - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive and industrial isolation nodes.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8645BB-AS1?
SI8645BB-AS1 is rated for 2.5 kVRMS isolation and certified to UL 1577, CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5A, VDE 0884-10 (basic insulation), and IEC 62368-1. It meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial and automotive end-equipment, including AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification for operation from –40 to 125 °C.
Does SI8645BB-AS1 support tri-state outputs, and how is output control implemented?
SI8645BB-AS1 does not include enable (EN) pins - unlike Si8640/Si8641 variants, the Si8645 family has no EN1 or EN2 terminals. Outputs B1–B4 are always active when VDD2 is powered and follow inputs A1–A4. Tri-state functionality must be implemented externally using series MOSFETs or bus switches, as the SI8645BB-AS1 itself provides no internal output disable capability.
What is the default output state of SI8645BB-AS1 during power loss on the input side?
SI8645BB-AS1 is configured as a "low-fail-safe" device: when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, outputs B1–B4 drive logic low. This behavior is fixed by ordering code "BB" and ensures predictable shutdown in battery management and motor control systems where undefined outputs could cause hazardous conditions.
How does the power consumption of SI8645BB-AS1 compare at different data rates and supply voltages?
At 1 Mbps and 5 V, SI8645BB-AS1 draws 1.6 mA per channel (6.4 mA total); at 100 Mbps and 5 V, it draws 5.5 mA per channel (22 mA total). At 2.5 V, consumption drops to 1.5 mA/channel @ 1 Mbps and 3.5 mA/channel @ 100 Mbps - enabling energy-efficient operation in battery-powered medical and portable industrial tools.
Is SI8645BB-AS1 compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripheral logic simultaneously?
Yes. SI8645BB-AS1 supports independent 2.5–5.5 V supplies on both sides: VDD1 can be 3.3 V (for MCU interface) while VDD2 is 5 V (for driving optocoupler-replacement logic or gate drivers). Input thresholds (VT+ = 1.67 V typ, VT– = 1.23 V typ) ensure reliable detection of 3.3 V logic levels, and output VOH/VOL meet 5 V TTL/CMOS specifications.
