Product details
Overview
SI86S621HE-IS4 from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel, high-speed digital isolator with reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation, 150 Mbps data rate, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs, selectable fail-safe output (default low), and operates across 2.25–5.5 V supply rails. It serves as a robust signal-level barrier in battery management systems and traction inverters where galvanic separation and noise immunity are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S621HE-IS4 datasheet, SI86S621HE-IS4 pinout, SI86S621HE-IS4 application, or SI86S621HE-IS4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 ns typical propagation delay, 100 kV/µs CMTI, fail-safe default-low configuration, and SSO-8 package with 8.0 mm creepage/clearance - all validated for automotive-grade isolated communication interfaces.
Technical Context
The SI86S621HE-IS4 implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing without clock recovery. Its dual-channel architecture supports independent side-A (VDD1/GND1) and side-B (VDD2/GND2) power domains with separate UVLO and reset thresholds (RSTB± ~1.7 V).
It integrates input deglitch filtering (36 ns), CMOS/Schmitt-trigger hybrid inputs for noise rejection, and failsafe logic that forces outputs low when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active - a behavior confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet for "Default low options" ordering variants like the -HE suffix.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed CAN FD, SPI, and isolated ADC/DAC interfaces without protocol translation |
| Propagation delay | 5–14 ns (typ. 9 ns) - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical feedback loops in motor control and power inverters |
| Common-mode transient immunity | 100 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity during fast-switching events in 800 V EV traction inverters |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577, VDE 60747-17, and CSA 62368-1 |
| Supply voltage range | 2.25–5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters |
| Fail-safe mode | Default low output - ensures safe shutdown state in BMS fault conditions when side-A power is lost |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 |
Pinout & Package
SI86S621HE-IS4 uses an SSO-8 (wide-body SOIC-8) package with 8.0 mm creepage and 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. Pins A1/A2 and B1/B2 are bidirectional digital I/O channels; NC pins are absent - all eight pins are functional.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, VDD2 | Independent power supplies | Enable true galvanic separation: side-A and side-B may operate at different voltages (e.g., 3.3 V MCU ↔ 5 V gate driver) |
| GND1, GND2 | Isolated reference grounds | Must be routed on separate PCB planes; no shared ground connection permitted across isolation barrier |
| A1, A2 | Side-A digital I/O | Bidirectional channels accepting Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds; tolerate ±8 µA leakage over full temp range |
| B1, B2 | Side-B digital I/O | Matched timing to A-side (tPSK ≤ 4 ns channel skew); drive 50 Ω nominal impedance into controlled-impedance traces |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-startup initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot-time delays; valid output appears within 300 µs of VDD ramp-up |
| Selectable fail-safe output | HE suffix denotes default-low configuration - outputs held low during side-A undervoltage (VDD1 < 2.12 V) |
| Input deglitch filter | 36 ns pulse rejection - suppresses EMI-induced glitches in noisy motor drive or charger environments |
| High CMTI & low jitter | 100 kV/µs common-mode immunity and 350 ps peak eye diagram jitter ensure reliable SPI/CAN signal transmission |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for automotive use up to +125 °C ambient - supports onboard chargers and battery management systems |
Applications
| Battery Management System (BMS) | Traction Inverter Control |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI86S621ED-IS4 | Same pinout and specs, but default-high fail-safe mode (ED suffix vs. HE) | Suitable where system requires active-high enable or latch-up prevention during brownout | Select SI86S621ED-IS4 only if default-high output is required; otherwise SI86S621HE-IS4 provides safer fault response in BMS. |
| ISO7721DWR | TI device: 5000 VRMS isolation, 100 Mbps, SOIC-8 (3.9 mm creepage), no AEC-Q100 | Limited to industrial use; insufficient creepage for 800 V automotive systems | Choose ISO7721DWR for cost-sensitive industrial designs; SI86S621HE-IS4 is mandatory for automotive safety-critical isolation. |
Compared with SI86S621ED-IS4 and ISO7721DWR, the SI86S621HE-IS4 uniquely combines 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 8.0 mm creepage, and default-low fail-safe behavior - making it the only option qualified for ISO 26262 ASIL-C battery disconnect control in EV platforms.

FAQ
What does the "HE" suffix in SI86S621HE-IS4 indicate?
The "HE" suffix specifies the fail-safe output configuration: SI86S621HE-IS4 defaults to logic low on its B1/B2 outputs when side-A (VDD1) is unpowered but side-B (VDD2) remains active. This behavior is defined in Table 2 of the datasheet for "Default low options" and is critical for safe shutdown in battery management systems. The SI86S621HE-IS4 maintains this state until VDD1 rises above the UVLO threshold (~2.18 V).
Does SI86S621HE-IS4 require external bypass capacitors?
Yes, SI86S621HE-IS4 requires both 0.1 µF and 10 µF ceramic bypass capacitors placed between VDD1–GND1 and VDD2–GND2, as specified in Section 3.2.1. These must be mounted as close as possible to the respective power pins to suppress high-frequency noise and ensure stable operation at 150 Mbps. Omitting either capacitor risks increased jitter, timing violations, or erratic UVLO behavior during transients.
Can SI86S621HE-IS4 interface directly with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families?
Yes, SI86S621HE-IS4 supports 2.25–5.5 V operation on both sides independently, allowing direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers (side-A) and 5 V gate drivers (side-B) without level shifters. Its VIH/VIL thresholds scale with VDD (0.7×/0.3×), and output drive strength (±4 mA) meets standard CMOS loading requirements across the full voltage range.
What is the creepage and clearance distance of the SI86S621HE-IS4 package?
The SI86S621HE-IS4 uses an SSO-8 package with nominal external creepage and clearance of 8.0 mm - verified in Table 10 of the datasheet. This exceeds IEC 60664-1 requirements for 800 V working voltage in pollution degree 2 environments and enables compliance with ISO 6469-3 for electric vehicle battery systems.
Is SI86S621HE-IS4 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SI86S621HE-IS4 is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: –40 to +125 °C) and supports AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation. It is explicitly listed for automotive applications including onboard chargers, battery management systems, charging stations, and traction inverters in the datasheet's Industrial and Automotive Applications section.
