Product details
Overview
SI86S641EC-IS1 from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel, reinforced digital isolator with bidirectional signal isolation across a semiconductor barrier, supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate, 10 ns typical propagation delay, and 6000 VRMS isolation rating. It operates from 2.25–5.5 V on both sides and is qualified per AEC-Q100 for automotive traction inverters and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S641EC-IS1 datasheet, SI86S641EC-IS1 pinout, SI86S641EC-IS1 application, or SI86S641EC-IS1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, fail-safe mode behavior, IEC 60747-17 compliance, and validated alternatives for industrial and automotive isolated communication interfaces.
Technical Context
The SI86S641EC-IS1 implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a monolithic semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing without clock recovery circuits. Its architecture supports independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset thresholds on both sides (VDD1/VDD2), with RSTB– at ~1.7 V and UVLO– at ~2.05 V.
This variant features four unidirectional channels (A1–A4 to B1–B4), active-high enable pins (EN1/EN2), Schmitt-trigger + CMOS input thresholds, and selectable fail-safe output state (low-default per "EC" suffix). It includes 36 ns input deglitch filtering and meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60747-17 and UL 1577 (6000 VRMS).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, CAN FD, and motor control feedback loops without protocol translation. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables tight timing closure in real-time control loops such as PWM gate driving and ADC sampling synchronization. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS - certified for reinforced insulation per IEC 60747-17 and UL 1577, suitable for 1000 VAC working voltage systems. |
| Supply range | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| Fail-safe mode | Default low output (EC suffix) - ensures safe shutdown state during VDD1 loss while VDD2 remains powered. |
| Transient immunity | ≥100 kV/µs CMTI - prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt environments like IGBT switching nodes and power inverter legs. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive applications. |
Pinout & Package
SI86S641EC-IS1 is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 package (WB SOIC-16), providing 8.3 mm creepage and clearance for 6000 VRMS isolation. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin numbering follows standard SOIC convention (counterclockwise from top-left corner).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Side A supply | Power for input-side logic and transmitter; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| GND1 | Side A ground | Reference return for VDD1; must be separated from GND2 by ≥8.3 mm PCB spacing. |
| A1–A4 | Input signals (Side A) | CMOS/Schmitt-trigger inputs; support 36 ns deglitch filtering to reject EFT noise. |
| EN1 | Enable (Side A) | Active-high control for tri-stating all B-side outputs; pulled up internally if unused. |
| Isolation Barrier | Internal die boundary | Monolithic silicon dioxide barrier; no external components required for isolation integrity. |
| B1–B4 | Output signals (Side B) | 50 Ω nominal output impedance; matched trace routing recommended for >50 Mbps operation. |
| EN2 | Enable (Side B) | Active-high control for tri-stating all A-side outputs; independent of EN1 for asymmetric control. |
| VDD2 / GND2 | Side B supply & ground | Galvanically isolated power domain; supports separate 3.3 V or 5 V rails for MCU/peripheral side. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot sequence delays; outputs become valid within 0.3 ms of VDD stabilization. |
| Selectable fail-safe output | "EC" ordering code fixes default B-side output to logic low during VDD1 undervoltage, preventing unintended actuation. |
| 36 ns input deglitch filter | Rejects sub-36 ns transients common in motor drive and SMPS noise environments without affecting signal integrity. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use from –40 to +125 °C ambient, including HTOL, TC, and ESD testing per automotive stress profiles. |
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating | Meets creepage/clearance and partial discharge requirements for safety-critical medical and industrial equipment. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2401ARWZ | 4-channel, 25 Mbps max, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16, no deglitch filter | Limited to lower-speed industrial comms; lacks AEC-Q100 and 36 ns filtering | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/CMTI requirements and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the fail-safe output behavior of SI86S641EC-IS1 during VDD1 undervoltage?
The SI86S641EC-IS1 is ordered with the "EC" suffix, meaning it defaults to logic low on all B-side outputs when VDD1 falls below UVLO– (~2.05 V) while VDD2 remains powered. This behavior is hard-coded in the device and ensures safe shutdown of downstream actuators or drivers during primary-side power loss. The SI86S641EC-IS1 maintains this state until VDD1 recovers above UVLO+ (~2.18 V).
Does SI86S641EC-IS1 require external components for basic operation?
Yes-the SI86S641EC-IS1 requires two bypass capacitors per side: a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF bulk capacitor placed between VDD1/GND1 and VDD2/GND2, respectively. These must be located within 5 mm of the pins. No pull-up/down resistors are needed on EN1/EN2, as internal 100 kΩ pull-ups are provided. The SI86S641EC-IS1 does not require clocks, configuration registers, or firmware.
How does the 36 ns input deglitch filter affect signal integrity in SI86S641EC-IS1?
The 36 ns deglitch filter in SI86S641EC-IS1 removes noise pulses shorter than 36 ns-common in motor drive and SMPS environments-without distorting valid logic transitions. Input pulses wider than 36 ns pass through with only 36 ns added delay; narrower pulses are fully suppressed. This preserves signal fidelity in high-noise applications while eliminating false triggers that would otherwise corrupt control signals in the SI86S641EC-IS1.
Can SI86S641EC-IS1 be used in bidirectional data paths like I²C?
No-SI86S641EC-IS1 implements four unidirectional channels (A→B only), with no built-in direction control or open-drain outputs required for true bidirectional protocols like I²C. For I²C isolation, Skyworks recommends the Si860x or Si87xx families. The SI86S641EC-IS1 is optimized for SPI, PWM, GPIO, and digital feedback signals where direction is fixed and timing is critical.
What safety certifications apply to SI86S641EC-IS1?
SI86S641EC-IS1 holds pending UL 1577 recognition (6000 VRMS, 1 minute), CSA certification to 62368-1 and 60601-1 (reinforced), VDE certification to IEC 60747-17 (reinforced), and CQC approval to GB4943.1. All certifications are validated for the WB SOIC-16 package. The SI86S641EC-IS1 is also AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, covering temperature, vibration, and reliability testing for automotive deployment.
