SI8717BC-A-IP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SI8717BC-A-IP is a general purpose digital isolator manufactured by Skyworks Solutions Inc. with 3750Vrms isolation voltage, 1 channel unidirectional configuration, and 15Mbps data rate. The device operates across a 2.5V to 5.5V supply range with -40°C to 125°C temperature rating and is housed in an 8-SMD Gull Wing package. This component is currently in active production status with 669 units in stock.

Equivalent substitute parts are necessary when primary component availability is limited, supply chain constraints occur, or inventory optimization is required while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SI8715BC-A-IP or SI8719BC-A-IP be used as direct replacements for SI8717BC-A-IP?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical isolation voltage (3750Vrms), channel configuration (1 unidirectional), data rate (15Mbps), CMTI (35kV/µs), supply voltage range (2.5V ~ 5.5V), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C), and 8-SMD Gull Wing package. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are there differences in compliance certifications between the three parts?

A: SI8715BC-A-IP and SI8719BC-A-IP both carry ROHS3 compliance. SI8715BC-A-IP is REACH Unaffected. All three parts share EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS codes. Compliance requirements for your application determine which part is appropriate.

Q: Do all three parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All three parts have MSL 3 (168 Hours) rating, requiring identical handling and storage conditions.

Q: Are the propagation delay and timing characteristics identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. Propagation delay (50ns maximum for both tpLH and tpHL), pulse width distortion (25ns maximum), and rise/fall time (2.5ns typical) are identical across SI8717BC-A-IP, SI8715BC-A-IP, and SI8719BC-A-IP.
