Product details
Overview
SI86S641FE-AS2R from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel reinforced digital isolator with bidirectional signal isolation across an integrated semiconductor barrier. It supports up to 150 Mbps data rate, features 10 ns typical propagation delay, 6000 VRMS isolation rating, and operates from 2.25 V to 5.5 V on both sides. It is used in isolated ADC/DAC interfaces and motor control gate driver circuits requiring high CMTI and fail-safe output behavior.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S641FE-AS2R datasheet, SI86S641FE-AS2R pinout, SI86S641FE-AS2R application, or SI86S641FE-AS2R equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, automotive-grade safety certifications (AEC-Q100, IEC 60747-17), and real-world use context for industrial and EV power systems design.
Technical Context
The SI86S641FE-AS2R implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a monolithic silicon isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing. Its architecture includes Schmitt-trigger inputs with 0.15×VDD hysteresis and CMOS-compatible thresholds for robust noise immunity.
It supports selectable fail-safe mode (default-high or default-low output during unpowered input side), tri-state outputs via EN1/EN2 pins, and operates across –40 °C to +125 °C with 100 kV/µs transient immunity. The device uses separate VDD1/GND1 and VDD2/GND2 supplies with independent UVLO and reset circuitry per side.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links including isolated SPI and QSPI interfaces |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables tight timing budgets in gate driver feedback loops and ADC sampling synchronization |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements for 1000 VAC industrial and 800 VDC EV battery systems |
| Supply voltage | 2.25 V to 5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |
| CMTI | 100 kV/µs minimum - prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt inverter switching nodes |
| Fail-safe mode | Selectable default-high or default-low output - ensures safe state during power loss in safety-critical control paths |
Pinout & Package
SI86S641FE-AS2R is housed in a WB SOIC-16 (wide-body small-outline integrated circuit) package with 16 pins and creepage/clearance compliant with reinforced insulation standards. Pin numbering follows standard SOIC convention (pin 1 = top-left corner, counterclockwise).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Side A supply | Provides power to input-side logic and transmitters; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors |
| GND1 | Side A ground | Reference return for VDD1; must be routed separately from GND2 to maintain isolation integrity |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four unidirectional input channels from controller side; accept CMOS/Schmitt-trigger levels |
| EN1 | Side A output enable | Active-high control: drives all A-side outputs into high-impedance when low |
| VDD2 | Side B supply | Power for isolated output-side logic and receivers; independent of VDD1 |
| GND2 | Side B ground | Return for VDD2; forms isolated domain with B1–B4; no electrical connection to GND1 |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four unidirectional output channels to isolated peripherals; drive 50 Ω nominal impedance |
| EN2 | Side B output enable | Active-high control: places all B-side outputs in high-Z state when low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift issues of optocouplers; enables stable 150 Mbps operation over full temperature range |
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating | Validated barrier withstand capability for 6000 VRMS at 1 minute - satisfies functional safety requirements in ISO 26262 ASIL-B/C systems |
| Tri-state output control | EN1/EN2 pins allow single-point disable of all outputs per side - essential for bus arbitration and hot-swap isolation |
| Input deglitch filter (36 ns) | Rejects sub-36 ns noise pulses on A1–A4 inputs - prevents spurious toggling in noisy motor control or SMPS environments |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Manufactured using automotive-specific process flows with PPAP documentation support - suitable for OBC, BMS, and traction inverter applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM4401BRWZ | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, 15 ns propagation delay, 3.15–5.5 V supply | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and 6000 VRMS rating; not approved for automotive traction systems | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial automation where 5000 VRMS suffices and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, 16 ns propagation delay, 1.71–5.5 V supply | Lower data rate and CMTI (85 kV/µs); no fail-safe mode selection; non-automotive grade | Suitable for legacy PLC backplanes and low-speed sensor interfaces where power efficiency at 1.8 V is prioritized over speed/safety |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86S641FE-AS2R and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86S641FE-AS2R provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 for 1 minute. It meets IEC 60747-17 (reinforced), CSA 62368-1 and 60601-1, and VDE 60747-17. These certifications validate its use in safety-critical applications such as EV traction inverters and medical isolation barriers where dual protection is mandated.
Does SI86S641FE-AS2R require external startup initialization or configuration?
No, SI86S641FE-AS2R requires no startup initialization. Its RF-based architecture begins transmitting immediately upon VDD stabilization above UVLO threshold (~2.18 V). Outputs follow inputs after a fixed 0.3 ms start-up time, with no firmware, register writes, or calibration needed - simplifying system boot sequences in real-time motor control.
How does the fail-safe mode function on SI86S641FE-AS2R, and how is it selected?
SI86S641FE-AS2R offers ordering-option-selectable fail-safe mode: default-high or default-low output when the input-side supply (VDD1) is unpowered but output-side supply (VDD2) remains active. This behavior is hardwired per part number and cannot be changed in-circuit. The -AS2R suffix indicates the default-low variant.
What is the purpose of the EN1 and EN2 pins on SI86S641FE-AS2R?
EN1 and EN2 are active-high enable inputs that place all outputs on Side A (A1–A4) and Side B (B1–B4), respectively, into high-impedance state. When pulled low, they disconnect the isolator's output drivers - enabling bus sharing, hot-swap isolation, and power sequencing control without affecting internal isolation barrier operation.
Can SI86S641FE-AS2R be used in automotive applications, and what qualifications does it hold?
Yes, SI86S641FE-AS2R is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40 °C to +125 °C) and manufactured using automotive-specific process flows. It supports AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS reporting - making it suitable for onboard chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverters in battery electric and hybrid electric vehicles.
