Product details
Overview
SI8651EC-AS1R from Skyworks is a five-channel, automotive-grade digital isolator with 4 input channels on VDD1 side and 1 output channel on VDD2 side, 3.75 kVRMS reinforced isolation rating, 150 Mbps data rate, and selectable high-fail-safe default output state. It operates across –40 to +125 °C and supports 2.5–5.5 V dual supplies for use in battery management systems and traction inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SI8651EC-AS1R datasheet, SI8651EC-AS1R pinout, SI8651EC-AS1R application, or SI8651EC-AS1R equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, fail-safe behavior, CMTI immunity (50 kV/µs), propagation delay (8 ns typ), and automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) - all confirmed for the exact part number and narrow-body SOIC-16 package.
Technical Context
The SI8651EC-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 undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides, with thresholds at 2.24 V (rising) and 2.16 V (falling).
It features two enable inputs (EN1 on VDD1 side for A5; EN2 on VDD2 side for B1–B4), allowing independent tri-state control of input and output channels. The device uses Schmitt-trigger inputs (hysteresis 0.44 V typ) and delivers precise timing: 0.5 ns channel-channel skew, 2 ns propagation delay skew, and 5 ns minimum pulse width.
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 |
| Max Data Rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed CAN FD, SPI, and isolated ADC interface timing |
| Propagation Delay | 8 ns typical - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical feedback loops in motor control |
| Isolation Rating | 3.75 kVRMS reinforced - certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-10, IEC 62368-1, and GB4943.1 |
| CMTI | 50 kV/µs - ensures reliable operation in high-dV/dt environments like IGBT gate drivers |
| Supply Range | 2.5–5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog circuitry |
| Fail-Safe Default | High - output pins B1–B4 drive high during VDD1 loss while VDD2 remains powered |
Pinout & Package
Narrow-body SOIC-16 (NB SOIC-16) package, RoHS-compliant, JEDEC-standard 260 °C peak reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side power supply | Supplies 2.5–5.5 V to input logic and channel transmitter; bypass with 0.1 µF capacitor |
| GND1 | Input-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1; must be separated from GND2 by ≥8 mm creepage for reinforced insulation |
| A1–A4 | Digital input signals (VDD1 side) | Accept 0–VDD1 logic; Schmitt-triggered for >0.4 V hysteresis and noise rejection |
| A5 | Input signal with EN1 control (VDD1 side) | Enabled only when EN1 = high; otherwise high-impedance - enables multiplexing or clock gating |
| EN1 | Enable for A5 channel | Internally pulled up to VDD1; drives A5 into Hi-Z when low - no external pull-up required |
| VDD2 | Output-side power supply | Supplies 2.5–5.5 V to output drivers and receiver; requires separate 0.1 µF bypass |
| GND2 | Output-side ground reference | Isolated return for VDD2; forms safety barrier with GND1; defines common-mode transient path |
| B1–B4 | Digital outputs (VDD2 side) | 50 Ω nominal output impedance; default high during VDD1 loss (fail-safe mode) |
| EN2 | Enable for B1–B4 outputs | Controls all four outputs simultaneously; drives them into Hi-Z when low - used for system-level shutdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation barrier | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift; enables 60-year life at rated working voltage |
| Selectably high fail-safe output | Guarantees known logic state (high) on B1–B4 during input-side power loss - critical for safe shutdown in EV inverters |
| Tri-state enable architecture | Independent EN1 (A5) and EN2 (B1–B4) allow granular channel control without software overhead |
| Automotive-grade process flow | AEC-Q100 qualified, AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS/CAMDS listed - meets Tier-1 BMS requirements |
| Ultra-low power at 100 Mbps | 8.0 mA (VDD1) + 18.4 mA (VDD2) typ at 5 V - reduces thermal load in densely packed traction inverter PCBs |
Applications
| Battery Management System (BMS) | Traction Inverter Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8651BB-AS1 | Same 4:1 channel count and NB SOIC-16 package, but default output state is low (not high) | Used where fail-safe low is required (e.g., disable-on-loss in safety interlocks) | Select SI8651EC-AS1R when high-default behavior is mandatory for system-level fault response |
| ISO6741QDWR | TI part with 4-channel 1:0 directionality (no A5 input), 5000 VRMS rating, and 50 Mbps max data rate | Suitable for lower-speed industrial PLC I/O where higher isolation voltage offsets reduced speed need | Choose SI8651EC-AS1R for automotive BMS requiring 150 Mbps, AEC-Q100, and high-fail-safe behavior |
Compared with SI8651BB-AS1, SI8651EC-AS1R provides guaranteed high-default outputs during input-side brownout - essential for ASIL-B–compliant shutdown sequences. Against ISO6741QDWR, it delivers 3× higher data rate and automotive qualification, at the cost of lower isolation voltage.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI8651EC-AS1R?
SI8651EC-AS1R provides 3.75 kVRMS reinforced isolation and is certified to UL 1577 (5000 VRMS for 1 minute), VDE 0884-10, IEC 62368-1, IEC 60601-1, and GB4943.1. These certifications validate its suitability for medical and automotive end-equipment requiring double or reinforced insulation barriers.
How does the fail-safe mode operate on SI8651EC-AS1R?
SI8651EC-AS1R is configured for high-fail-safe operation: when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, outputs B1–B4 drive high. This behavior is fixed by internal pull-ups and cannot be changed in-circuit - it is defined at manufacturing via ordering code "EC".
What are the supply current requirements of SI8651EC-AS1R at 100 Mbps?
At 100 Mbps with 5 V supplies, SI8651EC-AS1R draws 8.0 mA (typ) from VDD1 and 18.4 mA (typ) from VDD2. Total typical supply current is 26.4 mA, making it suitable for thermally constrained automotive modules where power density matters.
Does SI8651EC-AS1R support 2.5 V logic levels on both sides?
Yes, SI8651EC-AS1R supports 2.5–5.5 V on both VDD1 and VDD2 supplies. At 2.5 V, it delivers 1.5 mA per channel at 1 Mbps and 3.5 mA per channel at 100 Mbps - enabling direct interface with low-voltage microcontrollers and sensors without level shifters.
Is SI8651EC-AS1R pin-compatible with other Si8651 variants in SOIC-16?
Yes, all Si8651 variants in narrow-body SOIC-16 (e.g., SI8651BB-AS1, SI8651BC-AS1, SI8651EC-AS1) share identical pinout and footprint. Channel count, directionality, and fail-safe state differ by part number but do not affect physical layout or PCB design.
