Product details
Overview
SI8650BB-AS1R from Skyworks is a five-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 2.5 kVRMS reinforced isolation, 150 Mbps data rate, <10 ns propagation delay, and fail-safe low-default output state. It operates across –40 to +125 °C and supports 2.5–5.5 V dual supplies, serving as a high-reliability signal barrier in isolated power converters and motor control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8650BB-AS1R datasheet, SI8650BB-AS1R pinout, SI8650BB-AS1R application, or SI8650BB-AS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its narrow-body SOIC-16 package, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification, 50 kV/µs CMTI, and tri-state enable control for system-level power sequencing and fault containment.
Technical Context
The SI8650BB-AS1R 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 deterministic timing with 0.5 ns channel-channel skew and 2 ns propagation delay skew across temperature and voltage.
All five channels are input-side (VDD1) to output-side (VDD2) unidirectional, with no inputs on the output side - confirmed by Table 1.1 ordering guide and functional description. The EN pin (on VDD2 side) controls all five outputs simultaneously into high-impedance state, supporting system-level enable/disable coordination.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 5 unidirectional, input-to-output only (VDD1 → VDD2) |
| Isolation Rating | 2.5 kVRMS reinforced insulation per UL/VDE/CSA/CQC |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI, RS-485, and isolated ADC/DAC links |
| Propagation Delay | 5–13 ns - enables tight timing budgets in real-time control loops |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5–5.5 V on both sides - allows mixed-voltage system interfacing (e.g., 3.3 V MCU ↔ 5 V actuator) |
| CMTI | ≥35 kV/µs - ensures reliable operation in noisy motor drive and inverter environments |
| Fail-Safe Default | Low output during input-side power loss - prevents unintended activation in safety-critical systems |
Pinout & Package
SI8650BB-AS1R uses a RoHS-compliant narrow-body SOIC-16 package (5.3 mm width), qualified for automotive applications and compatible with standard JEDEC reflow profiles (260 °C peak).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side supply | Power for channel inputs and internal transmitter; must be stable before valid data transfer |
| GND1 | Input-side ground | Reference for all input signals and VDD1; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| IN1–IN5 | Input channels | CMOS-compatible Schmitt-trigger inputs; accept 2.0–5.5 V logic levels with 0.44 V hysteresis |
| VDD2 | Output-side supply | Power for output drivers and receiver; independent of VDD1 for true galvanic isolation |
| GND2 | Output-side ground | Reference for all outputs and VDD2; physically separated from GND1 by ≥8.0 mm creepage/clearance |
| OUT1–OUT5 | Output channels | 50 Ω nominal output impedance; drive 15 pF loads at 150 Mbps with <4 ns rise/fall times |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high signal on VDD2 side; disables all outputs to high-impedance when low (EN = 0) |
| NC | No-connect | Pins 1, 9, and 16 are internally unused; may be left floating, tied to VDD2, or grounded per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation barrier | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift; enables 60-year lifetime at rated working voltage |
| Tri-state enable (EN) | Single-pin control over all five outputs - simplifies system-level power sequencing and fault recovery |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | 0.44 V hysteresis improves noise margin in industrial EMI environments (e.g., motor drives, PLCs) |
| Fail-safe low default | Guaranteed logic-low output during VDD1 undervoltage or loss - critical for safe shutdown in BMS and OBC |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for automotive use from –40 to +125 °C ambient; full PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS support |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8650BB-IS1R | Industrial-grade (–I suffix), same pinout/package, identical electrical specs except AEC-Q100 not applied | Lacks automotive qualification documentation (PPAP, IMDS); suitable for non-automotive industrial use | Select when automotive traceability and zero-defect manufacturing flow are not required |
| ADUM140E0BRZ | 4-channel, 100 Mbps max, 2.5 kVRMS, 16-lead SOIC; higher 10.5 ns typical propagation delay | Lower channel count and data rate; lacks fail-safe low-default option and automotive qualification | Choose only if 4 channels suffice and AEC-Q100 compliance is unnecessary |
Compared with SI8650BB-AS1R, SI8650BB-IS1R offers identical performance in non-automotive settings but omits PPAP and CAMDS support, while ADUM140E0BRZ provides lower channel density and speed with no fail-safe or automotive validation - making SI8650BB-AS1R the sole choice for AEC-Q100-compliant 5-channel isolation.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and certification status of SI8650BB-AS1R?
SI8650BB-AS1R provides 2.5 kVRMS reinforced isolation and is certified to UL 1577, CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5A, VDE 0884-10, and CQC GB4943.1. These approvals confirm compliance with IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1 for medical and industrial end equipment. SI8650BB-AS1R meets all required creepage and clearance distances for its SOIC-16 narrow-body package.
Does SI8650BB-AS1R support bidirectional communication?
No, SI8650BB-AS1R is strictly unidirectional: all five channels transmit from the VDD1 side (input side) to the VDD2 side (output side). There are no input pins on the VDD2 side. This configuration is fixed per the Si8650 product definition and ordering guide - bidirectional capability requires separate part numbers like Si8651 or Si8652.
What is the function of the EN pin on SI8650BB-AS1R?
The EN pin on SI8650BB-AS1R is an active-high enable control located on the VDD2 (output) side. When EN = high, all five outputs follow their respective inputs; when EN = low, all outputs enter high-impedance state. This allows centralized control of signal transmission - essential for power sequencing, fault containment, and bus sharing in multi-isolator systems.
How does the fail-safe low-default behavior work in SI8650BB-AS1R?
SI8650BB-AS1R is ordered with "BB" suffix indicating low-default output state. When VDD1 is unpowered or below UVLO threshold (≤2.16 V), and VDD2 remains powered, all outputs default to logic low. This behavior is implemented via internal pull-down resistors and is guaranteed across temperature and voltage - critical for preventing unintended activation in safety-critical automotive and industrial systems.
Is SI8650BB-AS1R pin-compatible with other Si865x variants in SOIC-16 packages?
Yes, SI8650BB-AS1R shares identical pinout and footprint with all Si865x devices in narrow-body SOIC-16 (e.g., SI8650BB-IS1R, SI8651BB-AS1R). However, channel directionality (5× unidirectional vs. 4+1 bidirectional) and default output state (low vs. high) differ by part number - PCB layout is interchangeable, but firmware and system-level logic must match the specific variant's functional configuration.
