Product details
Overview
SI86S600AC-IS from Skyworks Solutions is a bidirectional I²C isolator with two independent galvanically isolated I²C channels (SDA and SCL), rated for 3.75 kVRMS isolation, operating from 3.0–5.5 V over –40 to +125 °C, and supporting I²C bus speeds up to 1.7 MHz in industrial applications such as isolated digital power supply communications and motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S600AC-IS datasheet, SI86S600AC-IS pinout, SI86S600AC-IS application, or SI86S600AC-IS equivalent, this device delivers verified anti-latch bidirectional I²C isolation with open-drain outputs (35 mA sink), integrated undervoltage lockout per side, and automotive-grade qualification readiness-critical for PoE, battery management, and hot-swap system designs requiring robust ground-loop elimination.
Technical Context
The SI86S600AC-IS implements RF-based semiconductor isolation with on/off keying modulation across a monolithic barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling immediate bus operation after power-up. Its dual-channel architecture features asymmetric logic thresholds: Side A VOL (≤0.8 V) > VIL (≥0.41 V) to prevent latch-up, while Side B supports standard CMOS input levels (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V).
Each side includes independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) monitoring-AVDDUVLO+ = 2.7 V typical, AVDDUVLO– = 2.5 V typical-with outputs held low during UVLO and transitioning within 1 µs post-exit. The device maintains I²C clock stretching compatibility and supports pull-up currents of 0.5–3 mA per bus line.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 3.75 kVRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60950-1 and UL 1577 for industrial safety-critical interfaces. |
| I²C Bus Speed | 1.7 MHz - enables full-speed Fast-mode Plus I²C operation without timing degradation or external buffering. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0–5.5 V - interoperable with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers and power rails without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments. |
| Output Sink Current | 35 mA - drives standard I²C pull-ups (e.g., 1.4 kΩ at 3.3 V) while maintaining VOL ≤ 0.8 V under worst-case conditions. |
| Propagation Delay | 11–46 ns (3.3 V/5 V) - ensures sub-100 ns round-trip latency for real-time bus arbitration and clock stretching. |
| Transient Immunity | 50 kV/µs - suppresses fast common-mode transients typical in motor drives and PoE systems. |
Pinout & Package
SI86S600AC-IS is housed in an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC package (SOIC-8 NB), with creepage and clearance optimized for 3.75 kVRMS working voltage. Pin assignments follow the Si8600 family layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AVDD) | Side A power supply | 3.0–5.5 V supply for A-side I²C transceivers; requires local 0.1 µF bypass to AGND. |
| 2 (ASDA) | Side A bidirectional SDA | Open-drain I²C data line with anti-latch logic; sinks up to 35 mA; VOL ≤ 0.8 V at 35 mA. |
| 3 (ASCL) | Side A bidirectional SCL | Open-drain I²C clock line with identical electrical specs to ASDA; supports clock stretching. |
| 4 (AGND) | Side A ground reference | Return path for AVDD; must be isolated from BGND by ≥8 mm creepage for 3.75 kVRMS compliance. |
| 5 (BGND) | Side B ground reference | Isolated return for BVDD; forms galvanic barrier with AGND; defines secondary-side reference plane. |
| 6 (BSCL) | Side B bidirectional SCL | Standard CMOS-compatible I²C clock input/output; VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V. |
| 7 (BSDA) | Side B bidirectional SDA | Standard CMOS-compatible I²C data input/output; matches BSCL timing and threshold specs. |
| 8 (BVDD) | Side B power supply | Independent 3.0–5.5 V rail; enables asymmetric supply configurations (e.g., 3.3 V A-side / 5 V B-side). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Anti-latch bidirectional I²C channels | Prevents bus lock-up via asymmetric VOL/VIL design on Side A (ΔV ≥ 50 mV), eliminating need for external anti-latch circuitry. |
| Per-side undervoltage lockout | Independent AVDD/BVDD UVLO monitors ensure safe reset behavior when either side powers up/down asynchronously. |
| Hot-swap capable isolation | Protection circuits prevent data corruption during live insertion into powered systems, critical for modular power supplies and field-replaceable units. |
| RF-based isolation technology | Replaces optocouplers with lower propagation delay (vs. >100 ns), higher CMTI (50 kV/µs), and 60-year lifetime at rated voltage. |
| RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 NB | Standard JEDEC MS-012 package with 260 °C reflow compatibility and 1.27 mm pitch; footprint compatible with legacy opto-based layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional I²C isolation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM1250ARZ | 2.5 kVRMS isolation; 1 MHz max I²C speed; 5 V only supply; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Limited to lower-voltage, non-automotive industrial use; insufficient for 1.7 MHz Fast-mode Plus or 125 °C ambient. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed, temperature, or safety rating requirements. |
| ISO1540DR | 2.5 kVRMS; 1 MHz; 3.3 V only; no UVLO per side; higher propagation delay (120 ns typical). | Suitable for basic isolation where timing margin is ample and thermal derating is acceptable. | Choose only for legacy 3.3 V-only designs with relaxed timing and safety constraints. |

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C bus frequency supported by SI86S600AC-IS?
The SI86S600AC-IS supports I²C bus speeds up to 1.7 MHz, meeting Fast-mode Plus specifications. This is validated across the full operating temperature range (–40 to +125 °C) and supply voltage range (3.0–5.5 V), with timing margins preserved even under worst-case load and voltage conditions per Table 5.3 in the Skyworks Si860x datasheet.
Does SI86S600AC-IS require external components for I²C isolation?
No, SI86S600AC-IS requires only standard I²C pull-up resistors (typically 1.4–4.7 kΩ) on both SDA and SCL lines. Its integrated anti-latch architecture eliminates the need for external diodes, capacitors, or additional isolators-unlike discrete optocoupler-based solutions which demand complex biasing and feedback compensation networks.
How does SI86S600AC-IS handle undervoltage conditions on one side?
SI86S600AC-IS features independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both AVDD and BVDD. If AVDD drops below ~2.5 V, Side A outputs go low and remain latched until AVDD exceeds ~2.7 V; Side B continues normal operation if BVDD remains valid. This prevents metastability and ensures deterministic reset behavior during asymmetric power sequencing.
Is SI86S600AC-IS qualified for automotive applications?
SI86S600AC-IS is an industrial-grade part (suffix "-I") and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. However, it shares identical construction, electrical parameters, and top marking with automotive-grade variants like SI86S600AC-AS (suffix "-A"), which undergo full automotive process flows and PPAP documentation-enabling drop-in qualification readiness for Tier 1 suppliers.
What isolation rating does SI86S600AC-IS achieve, and which standards does it meet?
SI86S600AC-IS achieves 3.75 kVRMS isolation per UL 1577 and is certified to IEC 60950-1 (reinforced insulation), CSA Component Notice 5A, and CQC GB4943.1. Its SOIC-8 narrow-body package provides 8.0 mm creepage and 7.5 mm clearance, satisfying end-equipment requirements for industrial safety standards without requiring custom PCB spacing.
