Product details
Overview
SI8650BD-ASR from Skyworks is a five-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and tri-state outputs controlled by an enable input. It operates from 2.5–5.5 V on both sides, supports up to 150 Mbps data rate, achieves <10 ns propagation delay, and is rated for –40 to +125 °C operation in automotive-grade wide-body SOIC-16 packaging.
For engineers reviewing the SI8650BD-ASR datasheet, SI8650BD-ASR pinout, SI8650BD-ASR application, or SI8650BD-ASR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, fail-safe mode behavior, CMTI of 50 kV/µs, automotive AEC-Q100 qualification, and precise channel-to-channel skew (≤2.5 ns) critical for motor control timing integrity and isolated ADC/DAC synchronization.
Technical Context
The SI8650BD-ASR implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-no startup initialization required. Its five channels are all input-side (VDD1) to output-side (VDD2) unidirectional, with no inputs on the output side (0 inputs on VDD2 per Ordering Guide), enabling clean signal directionality in isolated power domain interfaces.
It features dual undervoltage lockout (UVLO) monitors-one per supply rail-with 70 mV typical hysteresis, ensuring robust operation during brown-out conditions. The selectable fail-safe mode (Low default, per OPN suffix "BD") defines output state during input-side power loss while maintaining output-side drive capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 5 unidirectional, all from VDD1 side to VDD2 side (0 inputs on VDD2) |
| Isolation Rating | 5000 VRMS reinforced insulation (UL, VDE, CQC certified) |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links in battery management and traction inverters |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns typical - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical feedback loops in motor control |
| CMTI | 50 kV/µs minimum - ensures noise immunity in high-dV/dt environments like SiC/GaN power stages |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5–5.5 V on both VDD1 and VDD2 - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains |
| Fail-Safe Default | Logic Low (ordering option "BD") - outputs go low when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active |
Pinout & Package
SI8650BD-ASR is housed in a RoHS-compliant wide-body SOIC-16 package (WB SOIC-16), providing 8.3 mm creepage/clearance and reinforced insulation suitable for automotive and industrial safety-critical applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side power supply | Supplies power to transmitter side; UVLO monitoring ensures reliable startup at ≥2.24 V |
| GND1 | Input-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier |
| IN1–IN5 | Digital input signals (VDD1 side) | Schmitt-trigger inputs with 0.44 V hysteresis enhance noise immunity in noisy motor drive environments |
| VDD2 | Output-side power supply | Supplies power to receiver side; independent UVLO allows asymmetric power sequencing |
| GND2 | Output-side ground reference | Return path for VDD2; galvanically isolated from GND1 |
| EN | Enable control (VDD2 side) | Drives all five outputs into high-impedance when low - enables bus sharing and power-saving modes |
| B1–B5 | Isolated digital outputs (VDD2 side) | 50 Ω nominal output impedance; requires controlled-impedance PCB routing above ~50 MHz |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates startup initialization and provides superior magnetic field immunity vs. pulse-based isolators |
| Selectably fail-safe output | "BD" suffix guarantees Low-default output during VDD1 loss - critical for safe shutdown in BMS |
| Tri-state output control | Single EN pin disables all five outputs simultaneously - simplifies bus arbitration in multi-isolator systems |
| Automotive-grade qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40 to +125 °C), PPAP-supported, IMDS/CAMDS compliant - qualified for EV traction systems |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 5.5 mA per channel at 5 V - reduces thermal load in densely packed OBC and inverter control boards |
Applications
| Battery Management Systems (BMS) | Traction Inverters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8650BD-BIS | Industrial-grade (–I suffix), same pinout/package, identical electrical specs except AEC-Q100 not applied | Lacks automotive PPAP documentation, IMDS/CAMDS support, and zero-defect manufacturing flow | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial designs where automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| ADUM141E0BRZ | Four-channel, 100 Mbps max, 2.5–5.5 V, 3.75 kVRMS, non-automotive, different pinout (SOIC-16 narrow) | Lower channel count and isolation rating; not AEC-Q100 qualified; lacks fail-safe Low option | Consider only if design requires fewer channels and lower isolation; requires PCB redesign due to pinout mismatch |
Compared with SI8650BD-BIS, SI8650BD-ASR adds full automotive process controls and documentation without changing footprint or timing. Against ADUM141E0BRZ, SI8650BD-ASR delivers higher channel density, 50% greater data rate, 33% higher isolation, and guaranteed fail-safe behavior-justifying its use in safety-critical EV subsystems.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8650BD-ASR?
The SI8650BD-ASR provides 5000 VRMS reinforced insulation and is certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-10, CSA 5A, and CQC GB4943.1 standards. These certifications validate its suitability for automotive battery systems and industrial equipment requiring reinforced insulation per IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1. SI8650BD-ASR meets all requirements for functional safety in ASIL-B–capable architectures.
Does SI8650BD-ASR support fail-safe operation, and how is it configured?
Yes, SI8650BD-ASR has a factory-configured fail-safe mode that drives all outputs Low when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active. This behavior is fixed by the "BD" ordering code and does not require external configuration. It ensures predictable shutdown states in battery management systems during input-side power faults, directly supporting ISO 26262 fault response requirements.
What is the maximum data rate and propagation delay performance of SI8650BD-ASR?
The SI8650BD-ASR supports up to 150 Mbps data rate with 8 ns typical propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) and ≤2.5 ns channel-to-channel skew. These values are guaranteed over the full –40 to +125 °C temperature range and across supply voltages from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. This performance enables real-time current-loop control in high-frequency SiC inverters using the SI8650BD-ASR.
How does the enable (EN) pin function on SI8650BD-ASR?
The EN pin on SI8650BD-ASR is located on the VDD2 side and controls all five outputs simultaneously. When EN is logic Low, outputs B1–B5 enter high-impedance state; when EN is High or floating (internally pulled up), outputs follow their respective inputs. This feature allows dynamic bus sharing and low-power sleep modes without altering signal routing. SI8650BD-ASR's EN pin draws only 2 µA typical current.
Is SI8650BD-ASR compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems?
Yes, SI8650BD-ASR operates with VDD1 and VDD2 independently configurable from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. It fully supports 3.3 V microcontrollers on one side and 5 V analog circuitry on the other, with VIH/VIL thresholds designed for compatibility across both logic families. Input hysteresis (0.44 V typical) and 50 Ω output impedance further ensure robust interoperation in mixed-voltage industrial and automotive designs.
