Product details
Overview
SI86S621HC-AS from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel, high-speed digital isolator with reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation, AEC-Q100 qualification, and selectable fail-safe output (default low). It operates from 2.25–5.5 V on both sides, delivers 150 Mbps data rate, 10 ns typical propagation delay, and supports industrial motor control and automotive battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S621HC-AS datasheet, SI86S621HC-AS pinout, SI86S621HC-AS application, or SI86S621HC-AS equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping to NB SOIC-8, confirmed pin functions, automotive-grade safety certifications (UL, VDE, CSA), and real-world timing behavior under undervoltage and power-loss conditions.
Technical Context
The SI86S621HC-AS uses RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating start-up initialization and enabling robust noise immunity. Its dual-channel architecture features independent side-A and side-B UVLO and reset circuits, with RSTB thresholds at ~1.7 V and UVLO hysteresis of 105–160 mV.
It implements Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs for high noise rejection, includes 36 ns input deglitch filtering (confirmed for Si86S62x family), and supports fail-safe operation where outputs default low during VDD1 loss while VDD2 remains active-per ordering option HC (default low).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and isolated ADC/DAC clocking without bottlenecks. |
| Propagation delay | 5–14 ns (typ. 10 ns) - enables tight timing budgets in motor gate driver feedback loops and real-time power converter control. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for 600 VAC mains-connected systems. |
| Supply voltage range | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog subsystems without level-shifting. |
| CMTI | 100 kV/µs minimum - ensures reliable operation in noisy inverter environments with fast-switching SiC/GaN power stages. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive use and industrial PLC backplanes without derating. |
| Fail-safe mode | Default low (HC variant) - forces safe logic-low state on isolated outputs during primary-side power loss, critical for fault-tolerant BMS shutdown. |
Pinout & Package
SI86S621HC-AS is housed in an NB SOIC-8 package (wide-body, 8.0 mm creepage/clearance), optimized for 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation. Pin 1 = VDD1, Pin 2 = A1, Pin 3 = A2, Pin 4 = GND1, Pin 5 = GND2, Pin 6 = B1, Pin 7 = B2, Pin 8 = VDD2. Pin 4 and Pin 5 are isolated grounds separated by the internal barrier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Side A power supply | Supplies isolated input-side logic; must be bypassed with 0.1 µF + 10 µF capacitors near the pin. |
| A1, A2 | Side A digital I/O | Dual-channel inputs accepting 2.25–5.5 V logic; include Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds for noise immunity. |
| GND1 | Side A ground | Reference return for VDD1 and A1/A2; galvanically isolated from GND2 by the internal barrier. |
| GND2 | Side B ground | Reference return for VDD2 and B1/B2; physically and electrically separated from GND1 to maintain isolation integrity. |
| B1, B2 | Side B digital I/O | Dual-channel outputs with ~50 Ω nominal impedance; support controlled-impedance PCB routing for signal integrity. |
| VDD2 | Side B power supply | Supplies isolated output-side logic; independent of VDD1, enabling asymmetric supply configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates optical degradation and start-up delays-enables immediate data transmission after power-on without configuration. |
| Selectably fail-safe output (HC) | Guarantees logic-low output when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 is active-prevents undefined states in safety-critical BMS or inverter enable lines. |
| 36 ns input deglitch filter | Rejects sub-36 ns noise pulses (e.g., EFT bursts, switching transients) while preserving valid signal edges for clean isolated communication. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications up to +125 °C ambient, with PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS compliance support. |
| Reinforced insulation certification | UL 1577 (6000 VRMS), VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1-enables single-component isolation in medical and EV traction systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM121N0BRZ-RL7 | Single-channel, 150 Mbps, 3000 VRMS, SOIC-8 (narrow body), no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Lacks reinforced 6000 VRMS rating and automotive qualification-suitable only for non-safety-critical industrial use. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs safety certification needs and dual-channel functionality is not required. |
| ISO7721FDWR | Dual-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-8 (wide body), AEC-Q100 Grade 1, but no selectable fail-safe mode. | Lower data rate and fixed default output-limits use in high-speed SPI or fast-fault-response systems requiring configurable fail-state. | Prefer when system-level reset coordination handles power-loss states, and 100 Mbps suffices for control loop bandwidth. |
Compared with ADUM121N0BRZ-RL7 and ISO7721FDWR, SI86S621HC-AS uniquely combines dual-channel 150 Mbps operation, 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation, AEC-Q100 qualification, and factory-configured default-low fail-safe behavior-making it optimal for automotive BMS and high-reliability industrial inverters where timing, safety, and deterministic power-loss response are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86S621HC-AS and which standards does it meet?
The SI86S621HC-AS has a 6000 VRMS isolation rating per UL 1577 (1 minute), reinforced insulation per VDE 60747-17 (2121 Vpeak), and certification to CSA 62368-1 and CQC GB4943.1. These ratings are validated for the NB SOIC-8 package and apply directly to the SI86S621HC-AS device, enabling its use in high-voltage industrial and automotive systems requiring two means of protection.
Does SI86S621HC-AS require external initialization or configuration at power-up?
No, SI86S621HC-AS requires no start-up initialization. It begins transmitting valid data within 300 µs of VDD1/VDD2 reaching UVLO+ (2.18 V typical), using an RF on/off keying architecture that eliminates boot sequences. The SI86S621HC-AS enters normal operation immediately after power stabilization, with outputs following inputs once UVLO exits.
How does the fail-safe mode work in SI86S621HC-AS, and what is its default state?
The SI86S621HC-AS is ordered with "HC" suffix indicating default-low fail-safe mode. When VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, outputs B1 and B2 are actively driven low. This behavior is hard-coded in silicon and confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet-ensuring predictable shutdown in battery management or motor control systems during MCU power loss.
What is the maximum data rate supported by SI86S621HC-AS, and under what conditions is it guaranteed?
The SI86S621HC-AS supports up to 150 Mbps data rate across both channels simultaneously, guaranteed over the full operating temperature range (–40 to +125 °C) and supply range (2.25–5.5 V). This performance is specified in Tables 6–8 of the datasheet for VDD = 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V, with pulse width distortion ≤4.5 ns ensuring signal fidelity.
Can SI86S621HC-AS be used in medical equipment requiring patient isolation?
Yes, SI86S621HC-AS is certified to CSA 60601-1 for up to 250 VRMS working voltage and 2 MOPP (Means of Patient Protection), with 8.0 mm creepage/clearance in the NB SOIC-8 package. Its reinforced insulation and 6000 VRMS rating make it suitable for isolating ADC interfaces and sensor front-ends in diagnostic devices compliant with IEC 60601-1.
