Product details
Overview
SI8645BT-ASR from Skyworks is a quad-channel, 5 kVRMS reinforced-isolation digital isolator with 4-input/0-output channel configuration, 150 Mbps data rate, <10 ns propagation delay, and selectable default-low fail-safe output mode. It operates from 2.5–5.5 V on both sides and supports automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification for battery management and traction inverter signal isolation.
For engineers reviewing the SI8645BT-ASR datasheet, SI8645BT-ASR pinout, SI8645BT-ASR application, or SI8645BT-ASR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-16 wide-body package details, fail-safe behavior under power loss, and validated automotive-grade alternatives aligned with IEC 62368-1 and VDE 0884-10 reinforced insulation requirements.
Technical Context
The SI8645BT-ASR implements RF-based on/off keying across a silicon-die isolation barrier-eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing. Its four unidirectional channels (all inputs on VDD1 side, all outputs on VDD2 side) are controlled by no enable pins, as confirmed in Table 3.2 of the datasheet.
It features Schmitt-trigger inputs for >50 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity, 50 Ω nominal output impedance, and failsafe logic that drives outputs low when VDD1 is unpowered and VDD2 remains active-matching its "-B" ordering code for default-low behavior and "T" suffix for 5 kVRMS reinforced VDE 0884-10 certification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed CAN FD, SPI, and isolated ADC interface without oversampling or clock recovery circuitry. |
| Propagation Delay | 5.0–13.0 ns - enables sub-20 ns round-trip latency in closed-loop motor control feedback paths. |
| Isolation Rating | 5000 VRMS for 1 minute - meets reinforced insulation per VDE 0884-10 and UL 1577, suitable for 800 V EV battery systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5–5.5 V on both sides - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| Fail-Safe Output | Default Low (B variant) - ensures safe deactivation of gate drivers or fault signals during input-side power loss. |
| Temperature Range | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive use per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| CMTI | Min. 35 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in high-di/dt environments like SiC inverter switching nodes. |
Pinout & Package
SI8645BT-ASR uses a RoHS-compliant 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (WB SOIC-16, -IS footprint), providing 8 mm creepage and reinforced insulation up to 5 kVRMS. Pin assignments follow standard Si864x layout with independent VDD1/GND1 (pins 1, 16) and VDD2/GND2 (pins 10, 9) supplies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | VDD1, GND1 | Input-side supply pair - powers channel input logic and RF transmitter; bypass capacitor required at pin 1. |
| 2–5 | INA1–INA4 | Unidirectional input channels - accept 2.0–5.5 V logic; Schmitt-triggered for noise rejection in noisy motor drive environments. |
| 9, 10 | GND2, VDD2 | Output-side supply pair - powers RF receiver and output drivers; decoupling required at pin 10. |
| 11–14 | OUTB1–OUTB4 | Isolated output channels - drive 50 Ω loads directly; default-low state asserted when VDD1 = 0 V and VDD2 active. |
| 6–8, 15 | NC | No-connect terminals - not internally bonded; may be left floating, tied to GND, or used for thermal relief. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift issues of optocouplers; enables stable timing over –40 to +125 °C. |
| Reinforced VDE 0884-10 certification | Validated 10 kV surge capability and 60-year lifetime at rated working voltage - satisfies ISO 26262 ASIL-D system-level requirements. |
| Tri-state disable not supported | No EN pins present (per Si8645 row in Table 3.2); outputs always active when VDD2 is powered - simplifies control logic in safety-critical BMS monitoring. |
| Ultra-low power at 1 Mbps | 1.6 mA per channel at 5 V - reduces thermal load in densely packed automotive ECUs versus legacy isolators. |
| Automotive PPAP support | AIAG-compliant documentation, IMDS/CAMDS listings, and zero-defect manufacturing flow - accelerates OEM qualification. |
Applications
| Battery Management System (BMS) | Traction Inverter Control |

| On-Board Charger (OBC) | Industrial PLC Analog I/O |
Use Scenario: Isolating AC line sensing and DC bus voltage feedback in bidirectional OBCs compliant with IEC 61851-23. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reinforced 5 kVRMS isolator interfacing isolated sigma-delta modulators (e.g., AMC1306) to DSP controllers. Use Value: Meets reinforced insulation requirements for secondary-side measurement while surviving 10 kV surge transients on primary side. | Use Scenario: Providing galvanic isolation between 24 V field-side analog input modules and 3.3 V backplane FPGA in modular PLCs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2402BRWZ | 4-channel, 25 kV/µs CMTI, 25 Mbps max rate, 2.5–5.5 V, SOIC-16 wide body, default-high output only | Lacks default-low fail-safe option; lower data rate limits use in high-speed BMS telemetry | Select when lower cost and legacy ADI ecosystem compatibility outweigh need for 150 Mbps or automotive qualification. |
| ISO7741FDWR | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 80 kV/µs CMTI, 2.25–5.5 V, SOIC-16 wide body, default-low available | No AEC-Q100 qualification; VDE 0884-10 basic (not reinforced) insulation rating | Prefer for industrial automation where 100 Mbps suffices and automotive certification is unnecessary. |
Compared with ADUM2402BRWZ and ISO7741FDWR, SI8645BT-ASR uniquely combines 150 Mbps speed, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 operation, VDE-reinforced 5 kVRMS, and factory-configured default-low behavior-making it the only drop-in solution for next-gen EV battery monitoring requiring ASIL-B compliance and sub-10 ns timing.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8645BT-ASR?
SI8645BT-ASR provides 5000 VRMS reinforced isolation rated per UL 1577, CSA Component Notice 5A, IEC 62368-1, and VDE 0884-10. It is certified to reinforced VDE 0884-10 with 10 kV surge capability, meeting requirements for EV battery systems and medical equipment. SI8645BT-ASR carries AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification for automotive use.
Does SI8645BT-ASR support tri-state outputs or enable control?
No. SI8645BT-ASR has no enable inputs (EN1/EN2), as confirmed in Table 3.2 of the datasheet for Si8645 variants. Its four output channels are always active when VDD2 is powered. This eliminates external control complexity but means outputs cannot be placed in high-impedance state-SI8645BT-ASR is intended for fixed-direction, always-on isolation paths.
What is the default output state of SI8645BT-ASR during input-side power loss?
SI8645BT-ASR is a "-B" variant, meaning it defaults to logic low on all four outputs (OUTB1–OUTB4) when VDD1 is unpowered and VDD2 remains active. This fail-safe behavior is factory-set and critical for safe shutdown in BMS and inverter applications-SI8645BT-ASR asserts low signals to gate drivers or fault monitors during upstream power failure.
What package type and footprint does SI8645BT-ASR use?
SI8645BT-ASR uses a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (-IS option) with 8 mm creepage distance, matching JEDEC MS-013AC. It is RoHS-compliant, reflow-compatible up to 260 °C, and pin-compatible with other Si864x WB SOIC variants. The "R" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
How does SI8645BT-ASR achieve its 150 Mbps data rate without jitter accumulation?
SI8645BT-ASR uses RF on/off keying instead of pulse-based encoding, delivering deterministic timing with only 350 ps peak eye diagram jitter and <4.5 ns pulse width distortion. Its 5–13 ns propagation delay range and ≤2.5 ns channel-to-channel skew ensure clean signal edges at full 150 Mbps-verified in Figure 2.3 of the datasheet. SI8645BT-ASR requires no external clock recovery or equalization.
