Product details
Overview
SI86S642BB-AUR from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel, reinforced digital isolator with bidirectional signal isolation across a 6000 VRMS semiconductor barrier. It operates from 2.25–5.5 V on both sides, delivers 150 Mbps data rate, features 10 ns typical propagation delay and 3.5 ns pulse width distortion, and supports industrial motor control and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S642BB-AUR datasheet, SI86S642BB-AUR pinout, SI86S642BB-AUR application, or SI86S642BB-AUR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world use cases, validated alternatives, and supply-chain-ready availability details for high-reliability isolated interface design.
Technical Context
The SI86S642BB-AUR implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a monolithic silicon dioxide isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing behavior. Its dual-supply architecture (VDD1/VDD2) supports independent 2.25–5.5 V operation per side with undervoltage lockout (UVLO+) at 2.18 V and reset threshold (RSTB–) at ~1.7 V.
It integrates Schmitt-trigger + CMOS-threshold inputs for noise immunity, tri-state outputs controlled by EN1/EN2 pins, and selectable fail-safe mode (default-high or default-low output during unpowered input). The device achieves 100 kV/µs transient immunity and meets IEC 60747-17 reinforced insulation requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces including isolated SPI and QSPI without external clock conditioning. |
| Isolation Rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - enables safe operation in 1000 VAC industrial bus and EV traction inverter gate drive circuits. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typical - ensures tight timing alignment in closed-loop motor control and isolated ADC sampling paths. |
| Pulse Width Distortion | 3.5 ns typical - preserves duty cycle integrity for PWM signals in isolated power supply feedback loops. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| Transient Immunity | ≥100 kV/µs - suppresses fast common-mode transients in noisy motor drive and inverter environments. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SI86S642BB-AUR is housed in a WB SOIC-16 package (wide-body, 10.3 mm creepage), supporting 6000 VRMS isolation. Pin assignments follow the Si86S64x family layout shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply | Provides bias for input-side logic and transmitter circuitry; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF local bypassing. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four isolated input channels; accept Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds for robust noise rejection. |
| EN1 | Side A output enable | Active-high control: drives all A-side outputs into high-impedance when low, enabling bus sharing. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power supply | Independent bias for output-side logic and receiver; galvanically isolated from VDD1/GND1. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four isolated output channels; deliver rail-to-rail CMOS-compatible signals with 50 Ω nominal output impedance. |
| EN2 | Side B output enable | Active-high control: places all B-side outputs in high-impedance state, supporting multi-drop configurations. |
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. |
| Selectable fail-safe output mode | Ordering option determines whether outputs default to logic high or low during VDD1 loss - critical for safe shutdown in BMS and inverter systems. |
| Tri-state output control via EN1/EN2 | Enables shared-bus topologies (e.g., isolated CAN or RS-485 transceivers) without external bus switches or contention risk. |
| 100 kV/µs CMTI rating | Withstands rapid common-mode dv/dt events in SiC/GaN inverter switching nodes, preventing false triggering in gate drivers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM4402BRWZ | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16, 15 ns propagation delay | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and 6000 VRMS rating; lower CMTI (75 kV/µs) | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and highest isolation voltage needs. |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16, 25 ns propagation delay, lower power | Half the data rate and slower timing; no AEC-Q100 or 6000 VRMS support | Suitable for non-safety-critical industrial I/O where bandwidth and isolation margin are relaxed. |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI86S642BB-AUR?
The SI86S642BB-AUR is rated for 6000 VRMS isolation (1 minute per UL 1577), achieved using a reinforced silicon dioxide barrier in its WB SOIC-16 package. This rating supports applications requiring enhanced insulation, such as industrial inverters and automotive battery management systems operating above 1000 VDC.
Does the SI86S642BB-AUR require external start-up initialization?
No, the SI86S642BB-AUR does not require external start-up initialization. Its RF-based modulation architecture enables immediate operation upon power-up. Outputs transition from a 100 kΩ pulldown state to correct logic levels within 0.3 ms after VDD exceeds the UVLO+ threshold (2.18 V).
How does the fail-safe mode function on the SI86S642BB-AUR?
The SI86S642BB-AUR offers ordering-option-selectable fail-safe mode: when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, outputs default to either logic high or logic low based on the specific variant. This behavior is defined in Table 4 of the datasheet and ensures predictable system state during power faults.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SI86S642BB-AUR?
The SI86S642BB-AUR supports data rates up to 150 Mbps across all four channels. This performance enables use in high-speed isolated interfaces such as SPI, QSPI, and digital encoder feedback links without timing bottlenecks or external clock recovery circuitry.
Is the SI86S642BB-AUR qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SI86S642BB-AUR is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40 to +125 °C), manufactured using automotive-specific process flows, and supported with AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation. It is designed for automotive applications including onboard chargers, traction inverters, and battery management systems.
