Product details
Overview
SI8650EC-AS1R from Skyworks is a five-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 3.75 kVRMS reinforced isolation, 150 Mbps data rate, and selectable high-fail-safe output mode. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs, tri-state outputs with enable control, and operates across –40 to +125 °C for industrial and automotive isolated communication interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8650EC-AS1R datasheet, SI8650EC-AS1R pinout, SI8650EC-AS1R application, or SI8650EC-AS1R equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all confirmed against Skyworks' official Si8650/51/52/55 datasheet (Rev. 206455A, Jan 2023).
Technical Context
The SI8650EC-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 supports independent VDD1/VDD2 supplies (2.5–5.5 V), undervoltage lockout per side, and fail-safe logic retention during input-side power loss.
All five channels are input-only on Side A (VDD1) and output-only on Side B (VDD2), with EN2 controlling all five outputs in high-impedance state. The device uses internal 2 µA pull-ups on EN pins and exhibits <13 ns max propagation delay, <4.5 ns pulse width distortion, and 50 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 5 unidirectional, A-to-B only (0 inputs on VDD2 side) |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links (e.g., SPI, RS-485, CAN FD physical layer isolation) |
| Isolation Rating | 3.75 kVRMS - certified per UL 1577, VDE 0884-10, CSA 5A, CQC GB4943.1 for reinforced insulation |
| Fail-Safe Default | High - outputs drive high when VDD1 is unpowered and VDD2 is active (ordering-defined behavior) |
| Propagation Delay | 5–13 ns - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical isolation in motor gate drivers and ADC sampling clocks |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Power @ 100 Mbps | 4.1–28.7 mA total (VDD1+VDD2) - ultra-low power vs. optocouplers, critical for thermally constrained systems |
Pinout & Package
Narrow-body SOIC-16 (NB SOIC-16) package, RoHS-compliant, 260 °C peak reflow, creepage/clearance optimized for 3.75 kVRMS working voltage.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side supply | Power for channel inputs and internal transmitter; must be ≥2.5 V for valid operation |
| GND1 | Input-side ground | Reference for all Side A signals; requires dedicated low-impedance return path |
| IN1–IN5 | Digital inputs | CMOS/Schmitt-trigger inputs accepting 0–VDD1; no external pull-up/down needed |
| VDD2 | Output-side supply | Power for output drivers and receiver; independent of VDD1, enabling level shifting |
| GND2 | Output-side ground | Isolated reference for Side B; must be physically separated from GND1 per safety standards |
| OUT1–OUT5 | Digital outputs | 50 Ω nominal output impedance; compatible with 50 Ω PCB traces for >50 Mbps signaling |
| EN2 | Output enable | Active-high control for all five outputs; drives OUT1–OUT5 into high-Z when low |
| NC | No connect | Pin 16 is internally unconnected; may be left floating, tied to VDD2, or grounded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation barrier | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift; guarantees 60-year life at rated working voltage |
| Tri-state outputs with EN2 | Enables bus sharing and hot-swap capability without external logic or contention risk |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | 440 mV typical hysteresis ensures reliable operation in noisy industrial environments (e.g., motor drives) |
| Fail-safe high default | Prevents undefined states during brown-out; critical for safety-critical outputs (e.g., fault shutdown signals) |
| 50 kV/µs CMTI | Withstands fast transients in high-dv/dt systems like inverters and SMPS without data corruption |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8650EC-B-IS1 | Industrial-grade (–I suffix), same 3.75 kVRMS, NB SOIC-16, high-fail-safe, but not AEC-Q100 qualified | Lacks automotive PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS support; suitable for non-automotive industrial use | Select when automotive qualification is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs traceability requirements |
| ADUM140E0BRZ | Analog Devices quad-channel isolator; 3.75 kVRMS, 150 Mbps, but only 4 channels and no EN pin for full-output disable | Requires two devices for 5-channel coverage; lacks integrated fail-safe high default configuration | Choose only if existing design uses ADI ecosystem and channel count can be accommodated via duplication |
Compared with SI8650EC-AS1R, SI8650EC-B-IS1 offers identical electrical and isolation specs but omits automotive process controls and documentation, while ADUM140E0BRZ provides comparable speed and rating but falls short on channel count, fail-safe configurability, and output-enable flexibility - making SI8650EC-AS1R optimal for space-constrained, safety-certified 5-channel isolation.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8650EC-AS1R?
SI8650EC-AS1R provides 3.75 kVRMS reinforced isolation and is certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-10, CSA Component Notice 5A, and CQC GB4943.1. These approvals validate its suitability for end-equipment meeting IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1 safety requirements. SI8650EC-AS1R achieves this in a narrow-body SOIC-16 package with guaranteed 60-year lifetime at rated working voltage.
Does SI8650EC-AS1R support bidirectional communication?
No, SI8650EC-AS1R is strictly unidirectional: all five channels transmit from Side A (VDD1) to Side B (VDD2). It has zero inputs on the VDD2 side - meaning no reverse-path signals. For bidirectional isolation, designers must pair SI8650EC-AS1R with a complementary device such as SI8651EC-AS1R (4:1 configuration) or select a different family member explicitly supporting dual-direction channels.
How does the fail-safe high default mode function in SI8650EC-AS1R?
In SI8650EC-AS1R, the "EC" ordering code specifies high-fail-safe behavior: when VDD1 is unpowered (0 V) and VDD2 remains active, all five outputs (OUT1–OUT5) drive logic high. This is implemented via internal pull-ups and is guaranteed across –40 to +125 °C. It ensures defined safe states during input-side brownouts - critical for fault signaling in motor drives and BMS applications.
What is the role of the EN2 pin on SI8650EC-AS1R?
EN2 is the single enable input for all five outputs on SI8650EC-AS1R. When EN2 is high, outputs follow their respective inputs; when EN2 is low, all five outputs enter high-impedance state. This allows centralized bus control, hot-swap capability, and power sequencing without external logic. EN2 is internally pulled up to VDD2 with a 2 µA current source, so it may be left floating if permanently enabled.
Can SI8650EC-AS1R operate with mixed supply voltages, e.g., 3.3 V on VDD1 and 5 V on VDD2?
Yes, SI8650EC-AS1R supports independent VDD1 and VDD2 supplies from 2.5 V to 5.5 V each. It is fully specified for 3.3 V/5 V, 5 V/3.3 V, and other combinations - enabling seamless level translation between logic domains. Input thresholds (VT+ = 1.67 V typ, VT– = 1.23 V typ) ensure compatibility across both rails without external biasing.
