Product details
Overview
SI8751AB-IS from Skyworks Solutions is an isolated FET driver with digital CMOS input, designed to replace mechanical relays and optocoupler-based SSRs in industrial control systems. It delivers 10 V gate drive output using only 1 mA input current, supports –40 to +105 °C operation, features 2.5 kVRMS isolation, and integrates Active Miller Clamp for robust dV/dt immunity in motor and valve switching applications.
For engineers reviewing the SI8751AB-IS datasheet, SI8751AB-IS pinout, SI8751AB-IS application, or SI8751AB-IS equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package mapping, real-world timing performance (e.g., 85.3 µs turn-on at 90% VG(ON)), isolation certification details (UL/CSA/VDE/CQC), and validated alternative options for solid-state relay design.
Technical Context
The SI8751AB-IS uses RF-based CMOS isolation to transmit signal and power across a semiconductor barrier-eliminating need for external isolated supply. Its input side accepts 2.25–5.5 V digital logic, while TT pin enables adjustable input current (1.5–13.8 mA) to trade off between power consumption and turn-on speed.
On the output side, it generates a self-contained gate drive voltage referenced to SOURCE, supporting both DC load switching (single FET) and AC load switching (dual FET). The integrated Active Miller Clamp activates via MCAP1/MCAP2 pins when dV/dt exceeds threshold, providing low-impedance gate-to-source discharge to prevent unintended FET turn-on.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 2.5 kVRMS - certified for reinforced insulation per UL1577, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1, VDE 0884-10, and GB4943.1-2011 |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.25–5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting |
| Gate Drive Output | 10 V nominal - sufficient to fully enhance standard N-channel MOSFETs with RDS(on) < 100 mΩ |
| Turn-on Time (90% VG(ON)) | 85.3 µs typical (TT = GND) - enables >10 kHz switching in DC SSR configurations |
| Operating Temperature | –40 to +105 °C - qualified for industrial ambient environments including HVAC and motor control enclosures |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 20 kV/µs - ensures reliable operation in noisy industrial bus environments with fast-switching inverters |
| AEC-Q100 Qualification | Not applicable - SI8751AB-IS is industrial-grade; automotive variant is SI8751AB-AS |
Pinout & Package
SI8751AB-IS is housed in a ROHS-compliant narrow-body SOIC-8 package (5.00 × 4.00 mm footprint, 1.27 mm pitch), offering 4.7 mm clearance and 3.9 mm creepage - exceeding IEC 60664-1 requirements for 300 VRMS mains-rated systems.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Input-side power supply pin - requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND for stable operation |
| 2 | TT | Turn-on time control - resistor-to-GND sets input current draw (1.5–13.8 mA); optional capacitor improves transient response |
| 3 | IN | Digital CMOS input - high = gate drive enabled; low = gate discharged; VIH ≥ 50% VDD, VIL ≤ 25% VDD |
| 4 | GND | Input-side reference ground - must be separated from output-side SOURCE by isolation barrier |
| 5 | SOURCE | Output-side return node - connects directly to source terminal of external N-channel FET |
| 6 | MCAP2 | Miller clamp input 2 - optional connection point for capacitor to drain of second FET in AC SSR topology |
| 7 | MCAP1 | Miller clamp input 1 - optional connection point for capacitor to drain of primary FET to suppress dV/dt-induced turn-on |
| 8 | GATE | Output-side gate drive node - delivers 10 V to external FET gate with 162–330 kΩ on-resistance depending on TT setting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Digital CMOS input interface | Eliminates need for external current-limiting resistors or LED biasing circuitry required by optocouplers |
| Internally generated secondary-side power | Removes requirement for isolated DC/DC converter or auxiliary winding, reducing BOM count and PCB area |
| Active Miller Clamp (MCAP1/MCAP2) | Prevents false triggering during high dV/dt events (e.g., inductive load commutation), enabling reliable AC switching |
| Adjustable turn-on speed via TT pin | Allows optimization of switching speed vs. input power: 1.5 mA (low-power standby) to 13.8 mA (fast 42 µs turn-on) |
| SOIC-8 industrial package | Provides industry-standard footprint with 2.5 kVRMS isolation, 20 kV/µs CMTI, and AEC-Q100-compatible construction |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated FET driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silicon Labs SI8752AB-IS | Diode-emulator input (ANODE/CATHODE) instead of CMOS IN/TT; requires 1–30 mA forward current; same SOIC-8, 2.5 kVRMS, –40 to +105 °C | Used where legacy LED-driver interfaces exist or where analog current control is preferred over digital logic | Select SI8752AB-IS only if system already sources controlled current; SI8751AB-IS is preferred for direct MCU GPIO connection. |
| Toshiba TLP3547 | Optocoupler-based isolated driver; 5 kVRMS isolation; 15 V output; slower turn-on (200 µs typ); no Miller clamp; SOIC-6 package | Limited to DC loads; unsuitable for AC switching or high-dV/dt environments due to lack of active clamp | Choose TLP3547 only for cost-sensitive, low-speed DC-only applications where 20 kV/µs CMTI is not required. |
Compared with SI8752AB-IS, SI8751AB-IS offers faster digital control and lower input power; compared with TLP3547, it delivers superior noise immunity, integrated Miller clamping, and AC load capability - making it optimal for next-generation industrial SSRs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the SI8751AB-IS can tolerate on its VDD pin?
The SI8751AB-IS has an absolute maximum VDD rating of 6.0 V. Operating above 5.5 V violates the recommended supply range and risks permanent damage. For robust 5 V system integration, a 5.5 V max regulator or TVS clamp is advised. The SI8751AB-IS maintains full functionality across 2.25–5.5 V, ensuring compatibility with both 3.3 V and 5 V controllers without level shifters.
Does the SI8751AB-IS require an external isolated power supply for the output side?
No, the SI8751AB-IS does not require an external isolated power supply. It uses RF-based isolation to generate its own gate drive voltage on the output side, delivering up to 10 V between GATE and SOURCE pins. This self-powered architecture eliminates the need for isolated DC/DC converters or auxiliary windings - simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials cost in solid-state relay implementations.
How does the TT pin affect switching performance of the SI8751AB-IS?
The TT pin on the SI8751AB-IS controls input-side current draw, directly influencing turn-on speed: shorting TT to GND draws ~13.8 mA and achieves 42 µs (50% VG(ON)) turn-on; leaving TT unconnected draws ~1.5 mA and results in 286 µs (50% VG(ON)). This allows designers to optimize between low-power standby and fast-response modes without changing hardware - a key advantage over fixed-input drivers like the SI8752AB-IS.
Can the SI8751AB-IS drive both AC and DC loads?
Yes, the SI8751AB-IS supports both AC and DC load switching. For DC, it drives a single N-channel FET configured as a high-side switch. For AC, it drives two back-to-back N-channel FETs with MCAP1 and MCAP2 pins independently clamping each drain to prevent dV/dt-induced turn-on. This dual-FET capability enables true bidirectional AC switching - unlike optocoupler-based drivers limited to DC-only operation.
What certifications apply to the SI8751AB-IS isolation barrier?
The SI8751AB-IS is certified to UL1577 (2500 VRMS), CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1 (125 VRMS reinforced / 600 VRMS basic), VDE 0884-10 (630 VPEAK working voltage), and GB4943.1-2011 (CQC). All certifications are based on its 2.5 kVRMS isolation rating, with 100% production testing at 3.0 kVRMS for 1 second - meeting stringent safety requirements for industrial and commercial AC mains-connected equipment.
