Product details
Overview
SI86S642BC-IS1 from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel, reinforced digital isolator with bidirectional signal isolation across an integrated semiconductor barrier. It delivers DC to 150 Mbps data rate, 10 ns typical propagation delay, and 6000 VRMS isolation rating in a WB SOIC-16 package. It operates from 2.25–5.5 V supplies and supports fail-safe default-low output mode for industrial motor control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S642BC-IS1 datasheet, SI86S642BC-IS1 pinout, SI86S642BC-IS1 application, or SI86S642BC-IS1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification, exact IEC 60747-17 reinforced insulation compliance, and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative part options.
Technical Context
The SI86S642BC-IS1 implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across its isolation barrier-eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing without clock recovery circuits. Its architecture includes Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs, tri-state outputs with enable control (EN1/EN2), and selectable fail-safe output state during unpowered conditions.
This variant belongs to the Si86S6xx family's 4-channel forward/reverse configuration (A1–A4/B1–B4), with no direction control pin (unlike Si86SQ44) and no sleep mode pin (unlike Si86SM42). It supports simultaneous high-speed bidirectional communication between isolated domains while maintaining 100 kV/µs CMTI and –40 °C to +125 °C operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links including isolated SPI and digital feedback loops. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables tight timing closure in real-time motor control and power converter gate drive timing paths. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for safety-critical industrial and automotive systems. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments with wide thermal swings. |
| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - ensures robust noise immunity against fast transients in high-power switching systems like inverters and SMPS. |
| AEC-Q100 grade | Qualified - confirms suitability for automotive onboard chargers, battery management, and traction inverter subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
SI86S642BC-IS1 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 supply pair | Power and ground for input-side logic (A1–A4 and EN1); must be bypassed with 0.1 µF + 10 µF capacitors. |
| A1–A4 | Digital I/O (Side A) | Four isolated input/output channels on primary side; support bidirectional data flow with configurable fail-safe state. |
| EN1 | Active-high enable | Tri-states all Side A outputs (A1–A4) when low; used for system-level output control or power sequencing coordination. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B supply pair | Power and ground for output-side logic (B1–B4 and EN2); independent biasing enables galvanic isolation of power domains. |
| B1–B4 | Digital I/O (Side B) | Four isolated input/output channels on secondary side; electrically decoupled from Side A with full 6000 VRMS withstand capability. |
| EN2 | Active-high enable | Tri-states all Side B outputs (B1–B4) when low; enables synchronized shutdown or low-power mode entry on both sides. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot delay and configuration registers - output becomes valid within 0.3 ms of VDD stabilization. |
| Fail-safe output mode | Default-low output option (indicated by "B" suffix in OPN) ensures safe state during power loss or undervoltage on Side A. |
| High electromagnetic immunity | 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity prevents data corruption in noisy motor drive and inverter environments. |
| Tri-state outputs with enable | EN1/EN2 pins allow dynamic bus sharing and prevent contention in multi-master isolated systems without external logic. |
| Reinforced insulation certification | UL 1577, VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1 approvals validate use in medical and industrial safety-critical designs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2402BRWZ | 4-channel, 25 Mbps max data rate; 5000 VRMS isolation; SOIC-16 package; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Limited to industrial automation where automotive qualification is not required; lower bandwidth restricts use in high-speed feedback loops. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed and automotive compliance needs; verify CMTI (50 kV/µs) sufficiency for target noise environment. |
| ISO6742FDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps max data rate; 5000 VRMS; SOIC-16; AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40 °C to +125 °C); 100 kV/µs CMTI. | Matches SI86S642BC-IS1 in automotive temperature range and noise immunity but lacks 150 Mbps capability and 6000 VRMS rating. | Prefer for cost-constrained automotive modules where 50 Mbps suffices and 6000 VRMS is not mandated by system safety analysis. |
Compared with ADUM2402BRWZ and ISO6742FDWR, SI86S642BC-IS1 uniquely combines 150 Mbps speed, 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation, and AEC-Q100 qualification in a single device-enabling higher-bandwidth control architectures and simplified safety certification in EV power electronics.
