Product details
Overview
SI8645ET-IS2 from Skyworks is a quad-channel, high-speed digital isolator with reinforced 5 kVRMS isolation, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and selectable high-default fail-safe output mode. It supports DC–150 Mbps data rates, achieves <10 ns propagation delay, and operates across –40 to 125 °C with 2.5–5.5 V supply on both sides. It is used in isolated ADC interfaces, motor control gate drivers, and battery management systems requiring robust noise immunity and safety certification.
For engineers reviewing the SI8645ET-IS2 datasheet, SI8645ET-IS2 pinout, SI8645ET-IS2 application, or SI8645ET-IS2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation (VDE 0884-10), wide-body SOIC-16 package with 8 mm creepage, tri-state enable control, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive BMS and traction inverter designs.
Technical Context
The SI8645ET-IS2 implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating startup initialization and providing superior CMTI (>60 kV/µs) versus optocouplers. All four channels are unidirectional from side A (inputs) to side B (outputs), with no enable pins (EN1/EN2 not present per Si8645 ordering definition).
It features a fail-safe default-high output state during input-side power loss, enabled by internal 10 µA pull-ups on all B-side outputs. Its wide 2.5–5.5 V dual-supply operation, ±40 °C to +125 °C ambient range, and stable timing (<2.5 ns channel skew) support industrial and automotive applications demanding long-term reliability under thermal stress.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation, certified to VDE 0884-10 and UL 1577 - enables use in medical and EV traction inverters requiring reinforced barrier integrity. |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, RS-485, and isolated CAN FD interfaces without signal degradation. |
| Propagation Delay | 5–13 ns (typ. 8 ns) - ensures tight timing alignment in real-time motor control PWM feedback loops. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.4–2.5 ns (typ. 0.5 ns) - maintains phase coherence across parallel isolated signals in multi-phase inverter gate drive. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V on both VDD1 and VDD2 - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| CMTI | 60 kV/µs (min.) - rejects fast common-mode transients in noisy power electronics environments like IGBT switching nodes. |
| Fail-Safe Default | High-output state when VDD1 is unpowered - prevents unintended low-side FET turn-on in isolated half-bridge drivers during brownout. |
Pinout & Package
SI8645ET-IS2 uses a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (IS2 variant) with 8 mm creepage distance achieved via tie-bar elimination while retaining standard WB SOIC-16 land pattern compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side power supply | Supplies logic and RF transmitter circuitry; bypassed with 0.1 µF capacitor near pin. |
| GND1 | Input-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier. |
| INA1–INA4 | Unidirectional input channels | Accept 2.0–5.5 V logic; Schmitt-trigger inputs provide >400 mV hysteresis for noise rejection. |
| VDD2 | Output-side power supply | Supplies RF receiver and output drivers; independent of VDD1 for galvanic isolation. |
| GND2 | Output-side ground reference | Return path for VDD2; forms isolated domain with VDD2 and B-side outputs. |
| OUTB1–OUTB4 | Unidirectional output channels | Drive 50 Ω loads; default-high state during VDD1 loss; 4 mA sink/source capability at 5 V. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Not internally connected; may be left floating, tied to VDD2, or grounded per layout needs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced VDE 0884-10 certification | Enables single-package reinforced insulation for IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1 end-equipment compliance without external barriers. |
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates startup delay and aging drift; provides stable timing over temperature and lifetime vs. LED-based optocouplers. |
| Tri-state disabled outputs | Outputs enter high-impedance state only if EN pins were present - but SI8645 has no EN pins, so outputs remain active or default-high. |
| 10 µA internal pull-ups on OUTBx | Guarantees defined high state during VDD1 undervoltage or loss - critical for safe shutdown in BMS and OBC systems. |
| 8 mm creepage (IS2 package) | Meets reinforced insulation requirements for 1000 VAC working voltage in high-voltage battery systems per IEC 61851-23. |
Applications
| Motor Control Systems | Isolated ADC Interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM4402BRWZ | 4-channel, 5 kV RMS, 100 Mbps max, 15 ns max propagation delay, no fail-safe default option. | Lacks selectable default-high mode; requires external pull-ups for safe state control. | Choose when lower cost and legacy ADI ecosystem integration outweigh need for sub-10 ns timing and guaranteed fail-safe behavior. |
| ISO6741QDWRQ1 | 4-channel, 5 kV RMS, 50 Mbps max, 25 ns max propagation delay, AEC-Q100 qualified, default-low only. | Lower speed and fixed default-low limit use in high-frequency motor control and BMS where default-high is mandatory. | Choose only for cost-sensitive automotive body electronics where 50 Mbps and default-low are acceptable. |
Compared with ADUM4402BRWZ and ISO6741QDWRQ1, SI8645ET-IS2 delivers higher speed (150 Mbps), tighter timing (8 ns typ. delay), and factory-configured default-high fail-safe behavior-making it uniquely suited for next-generation EV powertrain and high-accuracy isolated sensing.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8645ET-IS2?
SI8645ET-IS2 provides 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation and is certified to VDE 0884-10, UL 1577, CSA Component Notice 5A, and CQC GB4943.1. It meets IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1 reinforced insulation requirements. These certifications are validated for the IS2 package variant and apply directly to SI8645ET-IS2 without derating.
Does SI8645ET-IS2 have enable pins, and how are outputs controlled?
No, SI8645ET-IS2 does not include enable pins (EN1/EN2). As specified in the Si8645 ordering definition, all four channels are permanently enabled from INA1–INA4 to OUTB1–OUTB4. Outputs follow inputs when powered and default to high during VDD1 loss due to internal 10 µA pull-ups-no external control or tri-state capability is provided.
What is the meaning of the "-IS2" suffix in SI8645ET-IS2?
The "-IS2" suffix denotes the wide-body SOIC-16 package variant with tie-bar elimination, achieving 8 mm creepage distance while maintaining standard WB SOIC-16 footprint and land pattern. This design satisfies reinforced insulation requirements for 1000 VAC working voltage in high-voltage systems such as EV battery packs and OBCs.
How does the fail-safe default-high behavior of SI8645ET-IS2 function during power loss?
When VDD1 drops below UVLO threshold (≈2.2 V), SI8645ET-IS2's outputs transition to a defined high state within 12 ns (tSD), maintained by internal 10 µA pull-ups on OUTB1–OUTB4. This behavior is factory-set and irreversible-ensuring safe deactivation of downstream drivers in BMS and inverter applications during brownout or isolation barrier faults.
Is SI8645ET-IS2 qualified for automotive applications, and what documentation is available?
Yes, SI8645ET-IS2 is AEC-Q100 qualified and supported with AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS/CAMDS material declarations, and full automotive process flow validation. Its automotive-grade counterpart is SI8645ET-AS2; both share identical electrical specs and packaging-only differing in manufacturing traceability and certification reporting.
