SI8710AC-ASR

Digital Isolators Overview

The SI8710AC-ASR is a general-purpose digital isolator from Skyworks Solutions, designed for automotive applications requiring high-voltage isolation. It features a single unidirectional channel with a data rate of 15 Mb/s and an insulation voltage of 3750 Vrms. The device utilizes capacitive coupling technology and operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 30 V. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 60 ns, a rise time of 15 ns, and a fall time of 5 ns. It is qualified under AEC-Q100 standards and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Digital Isolators Feature Summary

• Capacitive coupling technology provides low-power and high-speed operation while resisting wear-out effects.
• AEC-Q100 qualification ensures reliability for demanding automotive electronic environments.
• High common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 20 kV/µs supports robust signal integrity in noisy systems.

Digital Isolators Applications

• Automotive electronics requiring high-voltage isolation
• General-purpose digital isolation interfaces
• Systems needing optocoupler replacement in SOIC-8 packages

Digital Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ASR against official Skyworks documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and exact electrical tolerances. Ensure compliance with AEC-Q100 automotive standards if deploying in vehicle systems. Cross-reference the datasheet for humidity sensitivity handling requirements during assembly.

Digital Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, unidirectional isolator with 15 Mb/s speed is required. It serves as a direct replacement for optocouplers in SOIC-8 footprints. Consider its 3750 Vrms isolation rating and wide operating temperature range for industrial or automotive deployment.
