Product details
Overview
SI8645BT-IS2 from Skyworks is a quad-channel, 4-input/0-output digital isolator with reinforced 5 kVRMS isolation, 150 Mbps data rate, <10 ns propagation delay, and fail-safe default-low output state. It operates across 2.5–5.5 V supplies and supports industrial and automotive systems requiring high-noise immunity and long-term reliability in harsh environments.
For engineers reviewing the SI8645BT-IS2 datasheet, SI8645BT-IS2 pinout, SI8645BT-IS2 application, or SI8645BT-IS2 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts for isolation-critical designs in motor control, battery management, and isolated power conversion.
Technical Context
The SI8645BT-IS2 implements RF-based on/off keying across a silicon-die isolation barrier-eliminating startup initialization and delivering superior CMTI (≥60 kV/µs) versus optocouplers. Its architecture supports independent VDD1/VDD2 supplies (2.5–5.5 V), Schmitt-trigger inputs, and tri-state outputs controlled by internal enable logic.
All four channels reside on the VDD1 side (inputs A1–A4) and drive outputs B1–B4 on the VDD2 side. The -IS2 package provides 8 mm creepage in standard wide-body SOIC-16 footprint via tie-bar elimination, enabling reinforced insulation compliance per VDE 0884-10 and UL 1577 at 5 kVRMS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces (e.g., SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, isolated ADC/DAC clocking). |
| Propagation Delay | 5.0–13 ns - enables precise timing in closed-loop motor control and fast-switching power supply feedback paths. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | ≤2.5 ns - ensures deterministic phase alignment across all four isolated signals for synchronized sampling or gate drive. |
| CMTI | ≥60 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity during high dv/dt events in inverters and traction systems. |
| Supply Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog subsystems without level shifters. |
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS reinforced - certified to VDE 0884-10 and UL 1577, supporting safety-critical medical and industrial equipment. |
| Fail-Safe Mode | Default-low output - guarantees known state during input-side power loss, critical for safe shutdown in BMS and OBC. |
Pinout & Package
SI8645BT-IS2 uses a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (-IS2 variant) with 8 mm creepage, identical land pattern to standard WB SOIC-16 but with tie-bar removal for enhanced isolation. RoHS-compliant, peak reflow 260 °C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | A1–A4 Inputs | Logic inputs on VDD1 side; Schmitt-triggered for >0.44 V hysteresis and noise rejection. |
| 5, 6, 7, 8 | B1–B4 Outputs | CMOS outputs on VDD2 side; tri-state capable via internal enable logic (no external EN pins on SI8645x). |
| 9, 10 | GND1, GND2 | Separate ground references for isolated sides; mandatory for maintaining galvanic separation. |
| 11, 12 | VDD1, VDD2 | Independent 2.5–5.5 V supplies; UVLO thresholds ensure clean startup/shutdown behavior. |
| 13–16 | N/C | No-connect pins; internally unconnected and may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation barrier | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift; enables 60-year life at rated working voltage with stable timing over –40 to 125 °C. |
| Reinforced 5 kVRMS rating | Meets VDE 0884-10 and UL 1577 requirements for single-package reinforced insulation in medical (IEC 60601-1) and industrial (IEC 62368-1) systems. |
| Fail-safe default-low output | Guarantees B1–B4 = low when VDD1 is unpowered, enabling safe deactivation of downstream MOSFET gates or relay drivers. |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 5.5 mA per channel at 5 V - reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts and extends battery life in portable test equipment. |
| Tri-state outputs | Supports bus sharing in multi-master isolated networks (e.g., isolated CAN or I²C expansion) without external bus switches. |
Applications
| Motor Control Systems | On-Board Chargers (OBC) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-channel digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2401ARWZ | 2.5 kVRMS basic isolation; 25 Mbps max data rate; no fail-safe mode; 16-pin SOIC wide body. | Limited to non-safety-critical industrial controls; insufficient for reinforced insulation requirements in medical or EV systems. | Select only if 5 kVRMS and >100 Mbps are not required; verify system-level certification compatibility. |
| ISO6741QDWR | 5 kVRMS reinforced; 50 Mbps max data rate; default-high output; 16-pin SOIC wide body. | Requires external pull-down for safe-low default; lower bandwidth restricts use in high-speed ADC interfaces or fast PWM. | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs speed needs and default-high behavior aligns with system logic. |
Compared with ADUM2401ARWZ and ISO6741QDWR, SI8645BT-IS2 uniquely combines 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation, 150 Mbps speed, and factory-configured fail-safe low output-enabling single-part compliance with IEC 62368-1, VDE 0884-10, and ISO 26262 ASIL-B signal path requirements without external components.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification of SI8645BT-IS2?
SI8645BT-IS2 provides 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation and is certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-10 (reinforced), CSA 5A, and CQC GB4943.1. These certifications validate its suitability for medical (IEC 60601-1), industrial (IEC 62368-1), and automotive (ISO 17409) end-equipment requiring reinforced insulation barriers.
Does SI8645BT-IS2 require external bypass capacitors?
Yes, SI8645BT-IS2 requires a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed as close as possible between each VDD pin (VDD1 and VDD2) and its respective ground (GND1 and GND2). This is mandatory for stable operation and noise immunity-omitting these capacitors risks erratic behavior or increased EMI susceptibility.
What is the default output state of SI8645BT-IS2 during input-side power loss?
SI8645BT-IS2 is configured as a default-low device: when VDD1 is unpowered and VDD2 remains active, outputs B1–B4 assert logic low within 12 ns. This fail-safe behavior is factory-set and eliminates the need for external pull-down resistors in safety-critical shutdown paths.
Can SI8645BT-IS2 operate with different supply voltages on each side?
Yes, SI8645BT-IS2 supports independent VDD1 and VDD2 supplies ranging from 2.5 V to 5.5 V each. This allows direct interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers (VDD1 side) and 5 V analog circuitry (VDD2 side) without level-shifting components-reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
How does the -IS2 package differ from standard wide-body SOIC-16?
The -IS2 package retains the standard WB SOIC-16 footprint and land pattern but removes internal tie bars-increasing creepage distance to 8 mm while maintaining mechanical compatibility. This enables reinforced 5 kVRMS isolation without requiring PCB redesign or new assembly tooling.
