Product details
Overview
SI8650ED-ASR from Skyworks is a five-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with high-side input (5 channels on VDD1 side, 0 on VDD2), 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation rating, 150 Mbps data rate, and fail-safe default-high output state. It operates across –40 to +125 °C and supports 2.5–5.5 V dual supplies, enabling robust signal isolation in high-voltage industrial power converters and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI8650ED-ASR datasheet, SI8650ED-ASR pinout, SI8650ED-ASR application, or SI8650ED-ASR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including propagation delay (<10 ns), channel-channel skew (≤0.5 ns), CMTI (≥50 kV/µs), and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification - critical for isolated gate drivers and EV traction inverter designs.
Technical Context
The SI8650ED-ASR uses RF-based on/off keying modulation across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and providing inherent noise immunity without external components beyond 0.1 µF bypass capacitors. Its Schmitt-trigger inputs and tri-state outputs with dedicated EN control enable deterministic behavior during power sequencing.
All five channels reside on the input side (VDD1), with outputs on VDD2 side driven in parallel; no internal cross-coupling exists between channels. The device implements independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides, with hysteresis of 70 mV, ensuring reliable operation during brownout conditions in motor control and isolated ADC interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels & Direction | 5 unidirectional channels, all inputs on VDD1 side, all outputs on VDD2 side - enables full upstream signal isolation without reverse-path routing. |
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation (UL, VDE, CQC certified) - meets IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1 requirements for medical and industrial safety-critical systems. |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces such as isolated SPI clock lines and real-time sensor feedback in inverters. |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns typical (≤13 ns max) - ensures tight timing alignment in closed-loop motor control and fast-switching SMPS feedback paths. |
| Channel-Channel Skew | 0.5 ns typical (≤2.5 ns max) - guarantees synchronized multi-signal transmission for PWM dead-time control and phase current sampling. |
| CMTI | 50 kV/µs minimum - maintains signal integrity under fast dv/dt transients in SiC/GaN-based power stages. |
| Supply Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side, independent - allows interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
Pinout & Package
SI8650ED-ASR is housed in a RoHS-compliant wide-body SOIC-16 package (WB SOIC-16), offering 8.3 mm creepage and clearance for 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation. Pin layout follows standard Si865x pinout with dedicated VDD1/GND1 (pins 1–2, 15–16) and VDD2/GND2 (pins 9–10, 12–13) pairs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 (Pin 1) | Input-side supply | Power for all 5 input buffers and modulator; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| GND1 (Pin 2) | Input-side ground | Reference return for input signals and VDD1; requires low-inductance connection to isolate primary-side ground plane. |
| A1–A5 (Pins 3–7) | Input channels | CMOS/Schmitt-trigger inputs accepting 2.0–5.5 V logic; no external pull-ups needed for default-high configuration. |
| VDD2 (Pin 9) | Output-side supply | Power for demodulator and output drivers; independent of VDD1 - enables galvanic separation of control and power domains. |
| GND2 (Pin 10) | Output-side ground | Reference for output signals; forms isolation barrier with GND1 - must be routed on separate PCB layer with ≥8.3 mm spacing. |
| B1–B5 (Pins 11, 14, 15, 16, 13) | Output channels | 50 Ω nominal output impedance drivers; support 15 pF load at 150 Mbps; tri-state capable via EN pin (Pin 8). |
| EN (Pin 8) | Output enable control | Active-high enable on VDD2 side; drives B1–B5 into high-impedance when low - used for bus arbitration and safe shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fail-safe default-high output | Guarantees known logic state (high) on all B1–B5 outputs during VDD1 loss - prevents unintended gate turn-on in IGBT/SiC driver circuits. |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 5.5 mA per channel at 5 V (27.5 mA total for 5 channels) - reduces thermal load in densely packed power modules and automotive ECUs. |
| Precision timing performance | 0.5 ns typical channel-channel skew and 2 ns propagation delay skew - enables sub-microsecond synchronization across multiple isolated control signals. |
| Automotive-grade qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40 to +125 °C), AIAG-compliant PPAP, IMDS/CAMDS support - qualified for on-board chargers and battery management systems. |
| High-noise immunity architecture | RF modulation scheme with 50 kV/µs CMTI and Schmitt-trigger inputs - rejects EMI from switching nodes in 100+ kHz inverters without external filtering. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Isolated Switch-Mode Power Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM141D0BRZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 3.75 kVRMS, default-low output, SOIC-16 narrow body | Lacks fifth channel and 5 kVRMS rating; unsuitable for reinforced insulation systems requiring >4.2 kVRMS working voltage | Select only if four channels suffice and system-level creepage/clearance permits narrow-body package. |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, default-high, SOIC-16 wide body, lower CMTI (35 kV/µs) | Lower speed limits use in high-bandwidth control loops; reduced CMTI increases susceptibility to SiC/GaN switching noise | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial SMPS where 50 Mbps suffices and dv/dt < 30 kV/µs. |

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8650ED-ASR?
SI8650ED-ASR provides 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation and is certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-10, CSA 5A, and CQC GB4943.1 standards. These certifications validate its suitability for medical (IEC 60601-1) and industrial (IEC 62368-1) end equipment requiring reinforced insulation. The device meets creepage and clearance requirements for wide-body SOIC packaging at rated working voltage.
Does SI8650ED-ASR require external components for basic operation?
No, SI8650ED-ASR requires only two 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitors - one between VDD1 and GND1, another between VDD2 and GND2 - placed adjacent to the respective pins. Unlike optocouplers, it needs no pull-up resistors due to integrated fail-safe circuitry, and no startup initialization sequence is required for reliable power-up behavior.
How does the fail-safe default-high feature function in SI8650ED-ASR?
In SI8650ED-ASR, the fail-safe default-high mode ensures all five outputs (B1–B5) drive logic high when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active. This behavior is implemented via internal pull-ups and is fixed by part number - SI8650ED-ASR is ordered specifically for high-default operation, preventing hazardous low-side switch activation during primary-side power loss.
Is SI8650ED-ASR compatible with 2.5 V logic interfaces?
Yes, SI8650ED-ASR supports 2.5–5.5 V operation on both VDD1 and VDD2 sides. At 2.5 V, it delivers 1.5 mA per channel at 1 Mbps and 3.5 mA per channel at 100 Mbps, maintaining full 150 Mbps capability. Input thresholds (VT+ = 1.4–1.9 V, VT– = 1.0–1.4 V) ensure compatibility with 2.5 V CMOS logic without level translation.
What is the role of the EN pin in SI8650ED-ASR and how is it used?
The EN pin (Pin 8) is an active-high enable control on the VDD2 side that places all five outputs (B1–B5) into high-impedance state when driven low. This allows safe bus sharing, controlled shutdown sequences, and isolation of downstream circuitry during fault conditions. Internal 2 µA pull-up permits floating use, but external tie-high/low is recommended in noisy environments.
