Product details
Overview
SI8645BT-AS2 from Skyworks is a quad-channel, automotive-grade digital isolator with reinforced 5 kVRMS isolation in wide-body SOIC-16 package. It supports DC–150 Mbps data rates, achieves <10 ns propagation delay, and features selectable fail-safe default-low output mode. It is used in battery management systems and traction inverters where high-voltage galvanic separation and AEC-Q100 reliability are required.
For engineers reviewing the SI8645BT-AS2 datasheet, SI8645BT-AS2 pinout, SI8645BT-AS2 application, or SI8645BT-AS2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 kVRMS reinforced VDE 0884-10 rating, tri-state enable control per channel group, Schmitt-trigger input noise immunity, and operation across –40 to 125 °C ambient temperature.
Technical Context
The SI8645BT-AS2 implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. Its architecture delivers precise timing (0.5 ns channel-channel skew, 2 ns propagation delay skew) and supports independent VDD1/VDD2 supplies (2.5–5.5 V).
All four channels reside on the same side (VDD1 = input side, VDD2 = output side), with no enable pins (EN1/EN2 not implemented). The device uses Schmitt-trigger inputs for >0.44 V hysteresis and exhibits 50 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity at 1500 VCM.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SI8645BT-AS2 is housed in a RoHS-compliant wide-body SOIC-16 package (8 mm creepage, 10.3 mm body width) with reinforced insulation suitable for 5 kVRMS working voltage. Pin assignments follow standard Si864x channel mapping with dedicated VDD1/GND1 (pins 1–2, 15–16) and VDD2/GND2 (pins 9–10, 7–8) supply pairs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15, 16 | VDD1, GND1 | Input-side power domain - powers channel transmitters and input buffers |

| 7, 8, 9, 10 | GND2, VDD2 | Output-side power domain - powers channel receivers and output drivers |
| 11–14 | B1–B4 | Isolated output signals - drive 50 Ω loads with 2.5–4.0 ns rise/fall times |
Key Features

Applications
| Battery Management System (BMS) | Traction Inverter Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating cell voltage monitoring and pack-level communication between high-voltage battery stack and MCU. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad-channel unidirectional isolator transmitting analog front-end ADC results and status flags across 500–800 V potential difference. Use Value: Reinforced 5 kVRMS rating meets IEC 62368-1 and GB4943.1 requirements for EV battery safety; 125 °C operation supports under-pack placement. | Use Scenario: Transmitting PWM gate-drive signals from controller to isolated half-bridge drivers in 400 V/800 V inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed, low-skew isolator delivering synchronized gate commands with <2.5 ns channel-channel skew. Use Value: 150 Mbps capability supports multi-MHz PWM modulation; 60 kV/µs CMTI prevents false triggering during dV/dt transients. |
| On-Board Charger (OBC) | Charging Station Interface |
Use Scenario: Isolating feedback signals (voltage/current sensing) and control commands between primary AC/DC stage and secondary DC/DC stage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable isolator (though SI8645BT-AS2 is unidirectional) - here used for primary-to-secondary command transmission only. Use Value: 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation satisfies reinforced insulation requirements for OBC functional safety; AEC-Q100 ensures long-term reliability in thermal cycling. | Use Scenario: Galvanically separating communication lines (e.g., ISO 15118, CAN) between EVSE controller and vehicle interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-level isolator for serial bus lines operating at up to 1 Mbps, ensuring ground-loop immunity and ESD robustness. Use Value: Schmitt-trigger inputs reject conducted noise on long cable runs; 2.5–5.5 V supply range simplifies integration with mixed-voltage host controllers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8645BB-AS | 2.5 kVRMS basic insulation (VDE 0884-10), same pinout and electrical specs except isolation rating | Suitable for non-reinforced industrial applications (e.g., PLC I/O modules) but not automotive high-voltage safety-critical use | Select SI8645BB-AS only when 5 kVRMS reinforcement is not mandated by system safety standard |
| ADUM4402ARWZ | 4-channel, 5 kVRMS, but uses iCoupler magnetic coupling; higher propagation delay (22 ns max); no AEC-Q100 qualification | Valid for industrial isolation where automotive qualification is unnecessary; requires different layout due to magnetic coupling sensitivity | Choose ADUM4402ARWZ if legacy Analog Devices ecosystem or magnetic-isolation preference exists, but verify AEC-Q100 compliance is not required |
Compared with SI8645BB-AS and ADUM4402ARWZ, SI8645BT-AS2 uniquely combines reinforced 5 kVRMS VDE 0884-10 certification, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and sub-10 ns propagation delay - making it the only option qualified for safety-critical automotive traction and battery systems requiring both high speed and regulatory compliance.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification of SI8645BT-AS2?
SI8645BT-AS2 provides 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation and is certified to VDE 0884-10, UL 1577, CSA 5A, and CQC GB4943.1. It meets IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1 requirements for reinforced insulation, making it suitable for automotive high-voltage safety-critical applications such as battery management and traction inverters.
Does SI8645BT-AS2 support tri-state outputs via enable pins?
No, SI8645BT-AS2 does not implement enable inputs (EN1/EN2). As confirmed in Table 3.2 of the datasheet, the Si8645 variant has "- / -" for EN1/EN2, meaning all four output channels (B1–B4) are always enabled. Tri-state functionality is unavailable on this part; output state is determined solely by input logic and fail-safe default setting.
What is the default output state of SI8645BT-AS2 during input-side power loss?
SI8645BT-AS2 is ordered with a default-low fail-safe mode (indicated by "BT" suffix). When VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, outputs B1–B4 default to logic low within 12 ns (tSD), ensuring safe deactivation of downstream drivers in fault conditions - a critical feature for automotive BMS and inverter gate control.
Can SI8645BT-AS2 operate with mixed supply voltages (e.g., 3.3 V on VDD1 and 5 V on VDD2)?
Yes, SI8645BT-AS2 supports independent VDD1 and VDD2 supplies ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V each. This allows interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V gate drivers or ADCs. Electrical specifications (propagation delay, current consumption, noise immunity) remain valid across the full voltage range per side, as verified in Tables 4.2 and 4.3 of the datasheet.
Is SI8645BT-AS2 pin-compatible with other Si864x variants in SOIC-16 wide-body packages?
Yes, SI8645BT-AS2 shares identical pinout and land pattern with all Si864x devices in the -AS (automotive wide-body SOIC-16) package, including SI8645BB-AS and SI8645BD-AS. This enables drop-in replacement for isolation rating or fail-safe mode changes - provided system-level safety validation accounts for differences in certification scope and surge capability.
