Product details
Overview
SI8651BD-ASR from Skyworks is a five-channel, automotive-grade digital isolator with 4 input channels on VDD1 side and 1 output channel on VDD2 side, 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation rating, 150 Mbps data rate, and fail-safe low-default output state. It operates across –40 to +125 °C and supports dual supply voltages from 2.5–5.5 V, enabling use in high-reliability battery management systems and traction inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SI8651BD-ASR datasheet, SI8651BD-ASR pinout, SI8651BD-ASR application, or SI8651BD-ASR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-16 wide-body package details, tri-state enable control timing, Schmitt-trigger noise immunity, and AEC-Q100-compliant automotive operation - all confirmed from Skyworks' official Si8650/51/52/55 datasheet (Rev. 206455A, Jan 2023).
Technical Context
The SI8651BD-ASR implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and delivering stable timing over temperature. Its architecture provides independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides, with VDDUV+ = 2.24 V (typ) and hysteresis of 70 mV (typ), ensuring robust power sequencing in automotive subsystems.
It features two enable inputs (EN1 on Side A, EN2 on Side B) supporting independent tri-state control: EN1 disables A5 output; EN2 disables B1–B4 outputs. Each output exhibits 50 Ω nominal impedance (±40%), 8 ns typical propagation delay, 0.4 ns typical channel-channel skew, and 50 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity - validated under 1500 V CMTI test conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 5 total: 4 inputs on VDD1 side, 1 output on VDD2 side - enables asymmetric signal routing for isolated feedback/control paths. |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed CAN FD, SPI, and PWM monitoring in EV powertrain systems. |
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS reinforced insulation - certified per UL 1577, VDE 0884-10, IEC 62368-1, and GB4943.1 for safety-critical automotive applications. |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns typical - ensures sub-10 ns timing alignment between isolated control and sensing signals in motor drives. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.5–5.5 V on both sides - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| Fail-Safe Output | Default-low state during VDD1 loss - prevents unintended activation of gate drivers or contactors in battery disconnect scenarios. |
| CMTI | 50 kV/µs minimum - maintains signal integrity in high-dV/dt environments like traction inverters and DC-DC converters. |
Pinout & Package
SI8651BD-ASR uses a RoHS-compliant 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (WB SOIC-16) with 7.5 mm creepage/clearance, qualified for reinforced insulation up to 5 kVRMS. Pin assignments are identical to Si8651 family pinout per datasheet Section 5.1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side power supply | Supplies logic and transmitter circuitry for channels A1–A4; UVLO threshold 2.24 V ensures clean startup. |
| GND1 | Input-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1; must be separated from GND2 by ≥8 mm PCB clearance for 5 kVRMS compliance. |
| A1–A4 | Digital input signals (Side A) | Schmitt-trigger inputs with 0.44 V hysteresis - reject >1.5 V noise spikes in noisy motor control environments. |
| EN1 | Enable for A5 output | Pulled up internally to VDD1; drives A5 into high-impedance when low - enables software-controlled isolation disable. |
| VDD2 | Output-side power supply | Supplies receiver and output driver for B1–B4; independent UVLO prevents false outputs during brownout. |
| GND2 | Output-side ground reference | Isolated return for VDD2; forms safety barrier with GND1 - critical for medical and EV battery isolation. |
| B1–B4 | Digital output signals (Side B) | 50 Ω output impedance - matches standard PCB trace impedance to minimize reflections at 150 Mbps. |
| EN2 | Enable for B1–B4 outputs | Internally pulled up to VDD2; asserts high-impedance on all four outputs when low - supports safe system shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift of optocouplers - guarantees 60-year life at rated working voltage. |
| Tri-state enable control | Independent EN1/EN2 pins allow selective disabling of A5 or B1–B4 without affecting other channels - simplifies fault containment. |
| Fail-safe low default | Outputs go low when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active - prevents latch-up in gate driver circuits during power faults. |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 8.0 mA per side at 5 V / 100 Mbps - reduces thermal load in compact automotive ECUs versus legacy isolators. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified from –40 to +125 °C with zero-defect manufacturing flow - meets automotive PPAP requirements for BMS and OBC. |

These certifications validate its suitability for safety-critical automotive applications including battery management and traction inverters where reinforced insulation is mandated.
Does SI8651BD-ASR require external startup initialization or configuration?
No, SI8651BD-ASR requires no startup initialization or configuration. It begins transmitting valid data within 40 µs of power application (tSU max), with automatic UVLO management on both sides. This zero-config operation eliminates firmware dependencies and ensures deterministic behavior in automotive reset sequences.
How does the fail-safe low-default mode function in SI8651BD-ASR during power loss?
When VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, SI8651BD-ASR drives all B1–B4 outputs low - a hardware-enforced behavior defined by its ordering option (–BD suffix). This prevents unintended activation of downstream gate drivers or contactors during primary-side power faults, satisfying ISO 26262 fail-safe requirements.
What are the enable pin functions and timing characteristics for SI8651BD-ASR?
SI8651BD-ASR has two enable pins: EN1 controls A5 output; EN2 controls B1–B4 outputs. Enable-to-data-valid delay is 11 ns max; enable-to-tri-state delay is 12 ns max. Both pins are internally pulled up to their respective VDD rails, allowing direct connection to MCU GPIOs without external resistors.
Is SI8651BD-ASR compatible with 2.5 V and 3.3 V logic interfaces?
Yes, SI8651BD-ASR supports 2.5–5.5 V operation on both VDD1 and VDD2 supplies. Its VIH min is 2.0 V and VIL max is 0.8 V, ensuring reliable interfacing with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families without level translation - verified across –40 to +125 °C per datasheet Table 4.2.
