Product details
Overview
SI8645BT-IS from Skyworks is a quad-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 4 input channels on VDD1 side and 0 on VDD2 side, rated for 5.0 kVRMS reinforced isolation per VDE 0884-10, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate, <10 ns propagation delay, and operating across –40 to 125 °C. It enables robust signal isolation in high-noise industrial power inverters and isolated ADC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8645BT-IS datasheet, SI8645BT-IS pinout, SI8645BT-IS application, or SI8645BT-IS equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, fail-safe mode behavior, SOIC-16 wide-body package details, and automotive-grade alternatives compliant with AEC-Q100 and reinforced insulation standards.
Technical Context
The SI8645BT-IS implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating startup initialization and delivering superior CMTI (≥60 kV/µs) versus optocouplers. Its architecture supports independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides, with VDDUV+ = 2.24 V (typ) and hysteresis of 70 mV (typ).
All four channels are input-only on Side A (VDD1), output-only on Side B (VDD2); no enable pins are present (per Table 3.2), and default output state is low during power loss-a factory-configured fail-safe mode confirmed for SI8645BT-IS in the Ordering Guide.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels / Direction | 4-channel, unidirectional (A→B only); no EN pins - fixed output enable for all channels. |
| Isolation Rating | 5.0 kVRMS reinforced (VDE 0884-10 certified); supports 8 mm creepage in WB SOIC-16 package. |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - enables high-speed serial interface isolation (e.g., SPI clock/data lines at ≥50 MHz). |
| Propagation Delay | 8.0 ns (typ), ≤13 ns (max) - ensures tight timing control in real-time motor control feedback loops. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.375–5.5 V on both sides - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| CMTI | ≥60 kV/µs (min) - sustains reliable operation in high-dV/dt environments like IGBT gate drivers. |
| Fail-Safe Default | Low-state output when VDD1 is unpowered - prevents undefined logic states in isolated power supply monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
SI8645BT-IS uses a RoHS-compliant 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (WB SOIC-16, -IS suffix), with 8.0 mm creepage distance and reinforced insulation rating. Pin assignments follow standard Si864x layout for quad unidirectional isolators.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side supply | Power for channel inputs (A1–A4); must be ≥2.375 V for valid operation. |
| GND1 | Input-side ground | Reference for A-side logic; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor. |
| A1–A4 | Input signals | CMOS/Schmitt-trigger inputs; tolerate 0–5.5 V swing; no external pull-ups needed. |
| VDD2 | Output-side supply | Power for output drivers (B1–B4); independent of VDD1 for galvanic isolation. |
| GND2 | Output-side ground | Reference for B-side logic; isolated from GND1; requires separate 0.1 µF bypass. |
| B1–B4 | Isolated outputs | 50 Ω (typ) output impedance; drive 15 pF loads at 150 Mbps with <4 ns rise/fall times. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced VDE 0884-10 certification | Validated 5.0 kVRMS working voltage and 10 kV surge capability - meets IEC 62368-1 and 60601-1 system requirements. |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 5.5 mA per channel at 5 V (typ) - reduces thermal load in densely packed industrial PLC modules. |
| Sub-10 ns propagation delay | 8.0 ns (typ), 13 ns (max) - preserves signal integrity in time-critical isolated feedback paths (e.g., current sensing). |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Hysteresis = 0.44 V (typ) - rejects >100 mV noise spikes on long PCB traces in factory automation systems. |
| Fail-safe low default | Guaranteed logic-low output during VDD1 brownout - prevents false triggering in isolated enable/control lines. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Isolated Power Supply Monitoring |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating PWM gate-drive signals and current-sense feedback in 3-phase inverter stacks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad unidirectional isolator conveying A1–A4 (PWM/FAULT/EN/CLK) to B1–B4 on isolated high-side domain. Use Value: 150 Mbps capability supports 100 kHz switching frequencies with margin; 60 kV/µs CMTI prevents false turn-on during IGBT commutation. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring isolated DC bus voltage and temperature in switched-mode power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transmitting analog-to-digital converter (ADC) serial output bits across isolation barrier to MCU host. Use Value: Sub-10 ns delay ensures accurate timestamping of overvoltage events; fail-safe low default disables downstream converters during input power loss. |
| Medical Isolated Data Acquisition | EV Battery Management Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Isolating patient-connected sensor front-end ADC outputs from main processing unit in diagnostic equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Carrying 4-channel SPI data (SDO, SCLK, CS, DRDY) from isolated ADC to host microcontroller. Use Value: Reinforced 5.0 kVRMS rating satisfies IEC 60601-1 creepage/clearance requirements; low EMI enables clean signal acquisition. |
Use Scenario: Isolating cell voltage measurement and balancing command signals between BMS controller and battery module. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Relaying 4-bit status/control words (cell fault, balance enable, temp alert, ready) across 500 V isolation barrier. Use Value: AEC-Q100 qualified variant (SI8645BT-AS) available; 125 °C operation supports under-hood BMS placement. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8645BD-B-IS | Same 4-channel unidirectional function, 5.0 kVRMS rating, but basic (not reinforced) VDE 0884-10 certification; no 10 kV surge rating. | Approved for IEC 60950-1 systems only; not suitable for medical (60601-1) or reinforced insulation end-equipment. | Select SI8645BD-B-IS only if system-level safety certification does not require VDE 0884-10 reinforcement. |
| ADUM2400ARWZ | 4-channel unidirectional isolator, 5.0 kVRMS (UL/CSA), but 25 Mbps max data rate and 35 ns propagation delay; no VDE 0884-10 reinforcement. | Limited to lower-speed interfaces (e.g., I²C, slow SPI); insufficient for 100+ Mbps isolated ADC links. | Choose ADUM2400ARWZ only when bandwidth demand is ≤25 Mbps and VDE reinforcement is not required. |
Compared with SI8645BT-IS, SI8645BD-B-IS offers identical pinout and speed but lacks VDE 0884-10 reinforcement, while ADUM2400ARWZ provides legacy compatibility at significantly lower bandwidth and no reinforced certification - making SI8645BT-IS the sole option meeting 150 Mbps + VDE-reinforced + medical/industrial safety requirements.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and certification status of SI8645BT-IS?
SI8645BT-IS is rated for 5.0 kVRMS reinforced isolation and certified to VDE 0884-10 (including 10 kV surge capability), UL 1577, CSA 5A, and IEC 62368-1. This makes SI8645BT-IS suitable for medical (IEC 60601-1) and industrial safety-critical applications where reinforced insulation is mandated.
Does SI8645BT-IS support fail-safe operation, and what is its default output state?
Yes, SI8645BT-IS features a factory-configured fail-safe mode with default low output state when VDD1 is unpowered. This behavior is confirmed in the Ordering Guide and ensures predictable deactivation of downstream circuitry during input-side power loss - a critical requirement in isolated power enable paths.
What are the supply voltage requirements for SI8645BT-IS?
SI8645BT-IS operates with VDD1 and VDD2 independently configurable from 2.375 V to 5.5 V. Both supplies must meet this range for guaranteed functionality; typical performance is specified at 3.3 V and 5.0 V, with UVLO thresholds centered at 2.24 V (rising) and 2.16 V (falling).
How many enable pins does SI8645BT-IS have, and how are they configured?
SI8645BT-IS has no enable pins - per Table 3.2 of the datasheet, "Si8645" entries show "- / -" for EN1/EN2. All four output channels (B1–B4) are permanently enabled, eliminating external control complexity and reducing BOM count in fixed-direction isolation designs.
What package type and creepage distance does SI8645BT-IS use?
SI8645BT-IS uses a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (-IS suffix) with 8.0 mm creepage distance, enabling compliance with reinforced insulation requirements for 500–800 VDC working voltages in industrial and automotive systems.
