Product details
Overview
SI86S640BB-AU from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel, reinforced digital isolator with bidirectional signal isolation across an integrated semiconductor barrier. It supports DC to 150 Mbps data rates, delivers 10 ns typical propagation delay, and provides 6000 VRMS isolation rating in a WB SOIC-16 package. It operates from 2.25–5.5 V supplies and is used in isolated ADC interfaces, motor control gate drivers, and onboard charger supervision circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S640BB-AU datasheet, SI86S640BB-AU pinout, SI86S640BB-AU application, or SI86S640BB-AU equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification, precise fail-safe output behavior under undervoltage, and real-world timing performance metrics - all specific to the SI86S640BB-AU variant.
Technical Context
The SI86S640BB-AU implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across its isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling immediate deterministic operation after power-up. Its dual-side undervoltage lockout (UVLO) monitors-VDDUV+ = 2.18 V (typ), VDDUV– = 2.05 V (typ)-ensure robust reset behavior during supply transients.
It features Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs for noise immunity, tri-state outputs controlled by EN1/EN2 pins, and selectable fail-safe mode (default high or low) defined at ordering. The device includes 36 ns input deglitch filters and achieves 100 kV/µs transient immunity per IEC 60747-17.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, isolated UART, and real-time control loops without protocol overhead. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns (typ) - enables tight timing budgets in motor control PWM feedback and isolated ADC sampling. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial inverters and EV battery management systems. |

Pinout & Package
SI86S640BB-AU is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation. Pin layout follows Figure 2 (Si86S64x/L4x) in the datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power domain | Supplies and grounds the input-side logic; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four unidirectional input channels from controller side; Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds. |
| EN1 | Side A output enable | Active-high control: drives A-side outputs into high-impedance when low. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power domain | Supplies and grounds the isolated output-side logic; independent of Side A supply. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four unidirectional output channels to isolated peripherals; fail-safe default state configurable at order time. |
| EN2 | Side B output enable | Active-high control: drives B-side outputs into high-impedance when low. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture enables immediate deterministic output behavior post-power-up - no handshake or configuration required. |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | Ordering option defines default B-side output as logic high or low during VDD1 undervoltage - critical for safe shutdown in motor control. |
| 36 ns input deglitch filter | Rejects sub-36 ns noise pulses on A1–A4 inputs - prevents false triggering in noisy industrial bus environments. |
| Tri-state outputs with enable | EN1/EN2 pins allow single-point control of all four outputs per side - simplifies bus arbitration and reduces external logic. |
| Reinforced safety certification | UL 1577 (6000 VRMS), VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, CQC GB4943.1 - eliminates need for system-level re-certification in medical and EV applications. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM4402ARWZ | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16, non-AEC-Q100 | Lacks automotive qualification and 6000 VRMS rating; lower CMTI (75 kV/µs) | Use where cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and higher isolation voltage. |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI86S640BB-AU?
The SI86S640BB-AU is rated for 6000 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577, with reinforced insulation certification per VDE 60747-17 and CSA 62368-1. This rating applies specifically to the WB SOIC-16 package variant and is validated for continuous operation in systems up to 800 V working voltage.
Does the SI86S640BB-AU require external configuration or initialization at power-up?
No. The SI86S640BB-AU uses RF-based on/off keying modulation and requires no start-up initialization sequence. Outputs become active within 0.3 ms after VDD exceeds UVLO+, and default states (high or low) are determined solely by the ordering option - no firmware or external programming is needed for SI86S640BB-AU operation.
How does the fail-safe output mode work on the SI86S640BB-AU?
The SI86S640BB-AU's fail-safe mode is fixed at manufacturing: when VDD1 drops below UVLO– (~2.05 V), B1–B4 outputs default to either logic high or logic low based on the ordering suffix (e.g., "BB" denotes default-low). This behavior is guaranteed across –40 to 125 °C and is independent of EN2 state - a core safety feature of the SI86S640BB-AU.
What is the purpose of the 36 ns input deglitch filter in the SI86S640BB-AU?
The SI86S640BB-AU includes factory-configured 36 ns input deglitch filters on A1–A4 pins. Any input pulse narrower than 36 ns is suppressed, preventing false edge detection from EMI or switching noise in motor drives or SMPS. Pulses wider than 36 ns pass through with 36 ns added delay - a deterministic behavior documented for SI86S640BB-AU in the datasheet.
Is the SI86S640BB-AU pin-compatible with other devices in the Si86S6xx family?
Yes - the SI86S640BB-AU shares identical pinout (Figure 2), package (WB SOIC-16), and electrical interface with all Si86S64x variants (e.g., SI86S641BB-AU, SI86S642BB-AU). Channel count, directionality, and fail-safe default are the only differences; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting within the Si86S64x group.
