Product details
Overview
SI86S640HC-AS1R 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 AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive onboard chargers and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S640HC-AS1R datasheet, SI86S640HC-AS1R pinout, SI86S640HC-AS1R application, or SI86S640HC-AS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating, fail-safe default-high output option (denoted by 'H' in part number), 36 ns input deglitch filter, and compatibility with isolated SPI peripheral interfaces in high-noise motor control and power inverter designs.
Technical Context
The SI86S640HC-AS1R implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a monolithic silicon isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing behavior. Its architecture includes Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs, tri-state outputs with EN1/EN2 enable control, and selectable fail-safe mode (default high) activated via ordering option.
It features independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset circuitry per side (VDD1/VDD2), with UVLO+ = 2.18 V (typ) and RSTB– ≈ 1.7 V. The device supports simultaneous operation across dual supply domains and maintains output integrity during asymmetric power sequencing - critical for isolated ADC/DAC and traction inverter gate driver interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links including isolated SPI clock and data lines without external timing recovery. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns (typ) - enables tight timing budgets in real-time motor control feedback loops and isolated PWM synchronization. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for 1000 VAC working voltage systems. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V - allows interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains on both sides without level shifters. |
| Input deglitch filter | 36 ns - suppresses sub-36 ns noise pulses common in industrial EMI environments (e.g., switching power supplies, motor drives). |
| Fail-safe mode | Default high output - ensures safe logic-high state on isolated side during VDD1 loss, critical for enabling gate drivers or fault signaling. |
| Transient immunity | ≥100 kV/µs - resists fast common-mode transients in high-dv/dt applications like SiC/GaN inverter half-bridges. |
Pinout & Package
SI86S640HC-AS1R is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with 8.3 mm creepage/clearance, supporting 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation. Pinout follows Figure 2 (Si86S64x/L4x) in the datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply | Supplies isolated input-side logic; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors placed adjacent to pins. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four unidirectional input channels; accept Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds for noise immunity up to 100 kV/µs. |
| EN1 | Side A output enable | Active-high control: drives all Side A outputs into high-impedance when low - enables shared-bus arbitration. |
| Isolation Barrier | Internal die separation | Semiconductor-based barrier with reinforced insulation; no external components required for safety compliance. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four corresponding isolated output channels; default-high fail-safe state asserted when VDD1 is unpowered. |
| EN2 | Side B output enable | Active-high control: places all Side B outputs in high-Z - supports multi-device bus topologies on isolated side. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power supply | Independent 2.25–5.5 V domain; supports asymmetric supply sequencing and fault-isolated power domains. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot delay - outputs become valid within 0.3 ms of VDD stabilization, enabling immediate system response after power-on. |
| Tri-state outputs with enable | Dual EN1/EN2 pins allow independent high-impedance control of each side - essential for bidirectional isolated buses and multi-master SPI configurations. |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | 'H' suffix denotes default-high output during VDD1 loss - prevents unintended gate turn-on in isolated IGBT/SiC driver stages. |
| 36 ns input deglitch filter | Hardware-level pulse rejection removes EMI-induced glitches below 36 ns width - reduces need for software debouncing in safety-critical monitoring paths. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified to Grade 0 (–40°C to +125°C) with automotive-specific manufacturing flow - ensures low defectivity for battery management and traction inverter use. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM4402ARWZ | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16; no deglitch filter; default-low fail-safe only. | Lacks 36 ns hardware deglitch and 6000 VRMS rating; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial SPI isolation where 5000 VRMS suffices and noise environment is less severe. |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16; 2.25–5.5 V; no fail-safe option; lower CMTI (75 kV/µs). | Lower speed and transient immunity limit use in SiC/GaN inverter gate drive; no default-high option. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed isolated sensor interfaces where AEC-Q100 and 150 Mbps are not required. |
Compared with ADUM4402ARWZ and ISO6741FDWR, SI86S640HC-AS1R uniquely combines 150 Mbps speed, 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification, and factory-configured default-high fail-safe - making it the only option qualified for high-reliability automotive traction power stages and industrial inverters requiring sub-10 ns timing fidelity.

FAQ
What does the 'HC' in SI86S640HC-AS1R indicate?
The 'HC' suffix in SI86S640HC-AS1R specifies the inclusion of a 36 ns input deglitch filter, which suppresses noise pulses shorter than 36 ns on all four input channels (A1–A4). This feature is confirmed in Skyworks AN1359 and datasheet Section 3.4.5. SI86S640HC-AS1R uses this hardware filter to improve noise immunity in electrically noisy environments such as motor drives and switching power supplies.
Does SI86S640HC-AS1R support bidirectional communication?
SI86S640HC-AS1R provides four unidirectional channels (A1→B1, A2→B2, A3→B3, A4→B4) with independent enable control via EN1 and EN2. While individual channels are unidirectional, the device supports full-duplex bidirectional system communication when paired with complementary isolators or used in master-slave configurations. SI86S640HC-AS1R does not implement internal direction control like the Si86SQ44.
What is the meaning of the 'AS1R' suffix in SI86S640HC-AS1R?
The 'AS1R' suffix in SI86S640HC-AS1R indicates a WB SOIC-16 package ('A'), default-high fail-safe mode ('S'), automotive-grade qualification ('1'), and tape-and-reel packaging ('R'). This matches Skyworks' official ordering code structure defined in Table 17 of the datasheet. SI86S640HC-AS1R is therefore AEC-Q100 qualified and configured for default-high output behavior during VDD1 loss.
Can SI86S640HC-AS1R be used with 3.3 V and 5 V supplies simultaneously?
Yes, SI86S640HC-AS1R supports independent 2.25–5.5 V supplies on VDD1 and VDD2, enabling direct interfacing between 3.3 V MCU domains and 5 V peripheral circuits without external level shifters. The datasheet confirms rail-to-rail input thresholds (VIH = 0.7×VDDx, VIL = 0.3×VDDx) and output drive capability (VOH/VOL) across this full range. SI86S640HC-AS1R maintains specified timing and isolation performance under mixed-supply operation.
How does the fail-safe mode function in SI86S640HC-AS1R during power loss?
In SI86S640HC-AS1R, the 'S' in the part number denotes default-high fail-safe mode: when VDD1 drops below UVLO– (1.98–2.12 V), all B1–B4 outputs transition to and hold logic high as long as VDD2 remains powered. This behavior is hardware-defined and does not require external pull-ups. SI86S640HC-AS1R ensures safe state assertion for downstream circuits such as gate drivers or fault latches during primary-side power interruption.
