Product details
Overview
SI8651EB-AUR from Skyworks is a five-channel digital isolator with 4 input channels on VDD1 side and 1 output channel on VDD2 side, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate, <10 ns propagation delay, and 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation in a wide-body SOIC-16 package. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs, tri-state outputs with independent enable control (EN1/EN2), and selectable high-default fail-safe mode - used in isolated motor control gate drivers and battery management system signal interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI8651EB-AUR datasheet, SI8651EB-AUR pinout, SI8651EB-AUR application, or SI8651EB-AUR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification, exact fail-safe behavior (default-high), and real-world isolation performance metrics including CMTI ≥50 kV/µs and channel-to-channel skew ≤2.5 ns.
Technical Context
The SI8651EB-AUR implements RF-based on-off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. Its dual-supply architecture (VDD1/VDD2) supports asymmetric voltage operation (2.5–5.5 V each) and independent undervoltage lockout per side.
It integrates two dedicated enable inputs (EN1 on VDD1 side for A5; EN2 on VDD2 side for B1–B4), allowing selective channel tri-stating. The default-high fail-safe mode ensures logic-high outputs during VDD1 loss while VDD2 remains powered - critical for safe shutdown sequencing in traction inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels / Direction | 5-channel: 4 unidirectional inputs (A1–A4), 1 unidirectional output (A5) on VDD1 side; 4 outputs (B1–B4) on VDD2 side - enables asymmetric signal routing across isolation barrier. |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like isolated SPI clock lines and real-time PWM feedback in motor drives. |
| Propagation Delay | 5–13 ns (typ. 8 ns) - ensures sub-10 ns timing alignment for closed-loop control loops requiring tight phase margin. |
| 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. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level-shifting. |
| CMTI | ≥50 kV/µs - prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt environments such as SiC/GaN inverter switching nodes. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Qualified to Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C ambient) - validated for under-hood automotive applications including on-board chargers and battery management systems. |
Pinout & Package
SI8651EB-AUR is housed in a RoHS-compliant 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (WB SOIC-16) with 8.3 mm creepage/clearance, supporting reinforced 5 kVRMS isolation. Pin assignments are validated per Skyworks datasheet Rev. 206455A, Section 5.1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side power supply | Supplies power to A-side logic and input buffers; must be bypassed with 0.1 µF capacitor near pin. |
| GND1 | Input-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1; requires separate PCB plane from GND2 to maintain isolation integrity. |
| A1–A4 | Input signals (VDD1 side) | Four digital inputs with Schmitt-trigger thresholds (VT+ = 1.67 V typ., VT– = 1.23 V typ.) for noise immunity. |
| A5 | Output signal (VDD1 side) | Single output driven from VDD2 side; controlled by EN1 - used for reverse-direction status or fault signaling. |
| EN1 | Enable for A5 output | Active-high enable on VDD1 side; when low, A5 enters high-impedance state - enables bidirectional handshake protocols. |
| VDD2 | Output-side power supply | Supplies power to B-side logic and output drivers; independent of VDD1 for galvanic separation. |
| GND2 | Output-side ground reference | Return path for VDD2; physically isolated from GND1; defines secondary-side reference plane. |
| B1–B4 | Output signals (VDD2 side) | Four CMOS outputs with 50 Ω nominal impedance; VOH ≥ VDD2 – 0.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 4 mA load. |
| EN2 | Enable for B1–B4 outputs | Active-high enable on VDD2 side; when low, all four B outputs enter high-impedance state - supports dynamic channel gating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fail-safe default-high output | Guarantees logic-high B1–B4 outputs during VDD1 loss while VDD2 is active - prevents unintended gate turn-on in IGBT/SiC driver stages. |
| Tri-state enable control | Dual independent enables (EN1 for A5, EN2 for B1–B4) allow precise channel-level output disabling without affecting other channels. |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | Typ. 8.0 mA per side at 100 Mbps (5 V), enabling thermally constrained designs in compact BMS modules. |
| Sub-10 ns channel skew | Channel-to-channel skew ≤2.5 ns ensures synchronized sampling of multi-phase current/voltage feedback in motor control. |
| Automotive-grade process flow | Manufactured using full AEC-Q100-compliant automotive flows with AIAG PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS compliance. |
Applications
| Motor Control Gate Driver Interface | Isolated Battery Management System (BMS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8651BB-AUR | Same 4:1 channel configuration and WB SOIC-16 package, but default-low fail-safe mode instead of default-high. | Suitable where safe-off state requires logic-low outputs during input-side power loss (e.g., certain solenoid control). | Select SI8651BB-AUR only if system logic demands default-low behavior; otherwise SI8651EB-AUR maintains consistent high-state safety posture. |
| ADUM141E0BRIZ | 4-channel, default-high isolator in SOIC-16 narrow body; lower isolation rating (3.75 kVRMS), no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Limited to industrial-grade applications below 125 °C ambient; insufficient for automotive traction systems. | Use ADUM141E0BRIZ only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 3.75 kVRMS and commercial temp range suffice. |
Compared with SI8651BB-AUR, SI8651EB-AUR provides identical timing and power specs but guarantees fail-safe high outputs - critical for preventing unintended activation in safety-critical power stages. Versus ADUM141E0BRIZ, it adds AEC-Q100 Grade 0, 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation, and wider temperature support for automotive deployment.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe behavior of SI8651EB-AUR during VDD1 power loss?
The SI8651EB-AUR is configured with default-high fail-safe mode: when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, outputs B1–B4 drive logic-high. This prevents unintended deactivation of downstream drivers in safety-critical systems. The SI8651EB-AUR datasheet confirms this behavior in Table 3.1 and Ordering Guide entry Si8651EB-AU.
Does SI8651EB-AUR support independent enable control for all channels?
Yes - SI8651EB-AUR provides two dedicated enable inputs: EN1 controls output A5 on the VDD1 side, and EN2 controls outputs B1–B4 on the VDD2 side. Each enable operates independently, allowing selective tri-stating without affecting other channels. This functionality is documented in Table 3.2 of the SI8651EB-AUR datasheet.
What isolation certifications does SI8651EB-AUR hold?
SI8651EB-AUR is certified to UL 1577 (5000 VRMS for 1 minute), CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5A, VDE 0884-10, IEC 60950-1/62368-1/60601-1 (reinforced), and CQC GB4943.1. These approvals validate its use in medical, industrial, and automotive end-equipment requiring reinforced insulation.
Can SI8651EB-AUR operate with different supply voltages on each side?
Yes - SI8651EB-AUR supports independent 2.5–5.5 V supplies on VDD1 and VDD2. This allows interfacing a 3.3 V MCU on one side with a 5 V analog circuit on the other, without external level shifters. Electrical Characteristics tables in the SI8651EB-AUR datasheet specify performance across both 3.3 V and 5 V operating points.
Is SI8651EB-AUR pin-compatible with other Si865x variants in SOIC-16 packages?
SI8651EB-AUR uses the same WB SOIC-16 footprint and pinout as all Si865x devices in wide-body packages (e.g., Si8651ED-AUR, Si8652ED-AUR). However, channel direction (input/output assignment) and enable mapping differ across variants - always verify pin function against the specific SI8651EB-AUR datasheet before layout reuse.
