Product details
Overview
SI86S642FE-AS2R from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel, reinforced-isolation digital isolator with bidirectional signal capability, 150 Mbps data rate, 10 ns typical propagation delay, and 6000 VRMS isolation rating. It operates across 2.25–5.5 V supplies on both sides and supports fail-safe default-high output mode for industrial motor control and isolated ADC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S642FE-AS2R datasheet, SI86S642FE-AS2R pinout, SI86S642FE-AS2R application, or SI86S642FE-AS2R equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in automotive battery management and industrial automation, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The SI86S642FE-AS2R implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity (100 kV/µs CMTI). It features independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset circuitry per side (VDD1/VDD2), with RSTB thresholds at ~1.7 V and UVLO+ at 2.18 V.
All four channels support bidirectional operation via dedicated enable pins (EN1, EN2) and Schmitt-trigger CMOS inputs. The device includes 36 ns input deglitch filtering and selectable fail-safe mode-default high output during unpowered conditions on the input side while output side remains powered.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links including isolated SPI and QSPI bus extensions. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for safety-critical systems. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables precise timing synchronization in motor gate drivers and real-time feedback loops. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting components. |
| Fail-safe mode | Default high output - ensures safe state assertion (e.g., disable signal active) during VDD1 loss in power converter control. |
| Input deglitch | 36 ns filter - suppresses sub-36 ns transients common in noisy industrial environments like VFDs and inverters. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SI86S642FE-AS2R is housed in a WB SOIC-16 (wide-body small-outline integrated circuit) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS reinforced 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 circuits; bypass requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF capacitors. |
| GND1 | Side A ground | Reference return for VDD1; must be routed separately from GND2 to maintain isolation integrity. |
| A1–A4 | Side A I/O | Bidirectional digital channels; Schmitt-trigger inputs ensure noise margin >15% of VDDx. |
| EN1 | Side A enable | Active-high control: drives all A-side outputs to high-impedance when low, enabling tri-state bus sharing. |
| Isolation Barrier | Internal die boundary | Robust semiconductor barrier providing 6000 VRMS withstand and 100 kV/µs transient immunity. |
| B1–B4 | Side B I/O | Corresponding isolated outputs/inputs; electrically independent from A-side with separate VDD2/GND2. |
| EN2 | Side B enable | Active-high control: places B-side outputs in high-Z state, supporting isolated multi-drop configurations. |
| VDD2 / GND2 | Side B supply | Independent power domain for output-side logic; enables galvanic separation between controller and power stage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot sequence delays-output follows input immediately after UVLO exit. |
| Tri-state outputs with enable | EN1/EN2 provide per-side output disable, enabling shared-bus architectures without external bus switches. |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | Ordering option "FE" specifies default-high output during VDD1 loss-critical for fail-safe shutdown in inverters. |
| 36 ns input deglitch filter | Hardware filter rejects EFT bursts and switching noise below 36 ns width, reducing firmware validation burden. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Qualified to Grade 1 (–40 to +125 °C) with automotive-specific manufacturing flow-valid for OBC and BMS applications. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Control | Automotive Onboard Charger (OBC) |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolating analog front-end ADC references and digital status lines between primary and secondary sides. Use Value: Reinforced 6000 VRMS rating satisfies IEC 62109 and UL 62368-1 requirements for double-insulation in Class II OBC designs. |
| Isolated Data Acquisition | Battery Management System (BMS) |
|
Use Scenario: Interfacing isolated sigma-delta ADCs (e.g., AMC130x) to host processors in high-voltage energy storage systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transmitting oversampled bitstream and clock across isolation barrier with minimal jitter addition. Use Value: 150 Mbps data rate supports 20 MSPS bitstream transfer from 24-bit ADCs without decimation bottlenecks. |
Use Scenario: Isolating cell monitor IC communication (e.g., BQ796xx daisy-chain) from main system MCU in 400 V+ traction battery packs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Providing fault signaling, thermal alerts, and balancing command isolation with fail-safe default-high assertion. Use Value: Default-high fail-safe mode ensures open-circuit alert remains asserted during MCU power interruption-preventing silent cell overvoltage. |
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, no deglitch filter, 15 ns propagation delay. | Lacks 36 ns input filtering and 6000 VRMS rating-requires additional external protection in high-noise 600 V+ systems. | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs need for highest CMTI or reinforced isolation. |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, 16 ns propagation delay, no fail-safe selection option. | Lower speed and fixed default-low output limit use in fast-switching motor control and safety-critical shutdown paths. | Valid for non-safety-critical industrial PLC I/O where 50 Mbps suffices and default-low behavior is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86S642FE-AS2R and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86S642FE-AS2R provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577, and is certified to IEC 60747-17, CSA 62368-1/60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1. This rating enables its use in medical equipment, industrial inverters, and EV charging systems where double insulation is mandated by end-equipment safety standards.
Does SI86S642FE-AS2R require external startup configuration or initialization code?
No, SI86S642FE-AS2R requires no startup initialization. Its RF-based modulation architecture begins passing signals immediately after VDD1 and VDD2 exceed their respective UVLO+ thresholds (~2.18 V), with outputs transitioning to the correct logic state within 0.3 ms-eliminating firmware boot dependencies.
How does the fail-safe mode work on SI86S642FE-AS2R, and how is it configured?
The "FE" in SI86S642FE-AS2R denotes factory-configured default-high fail-safe mode. When VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, all B-side outputs default to logic high-enabling safe shutdown in motor gate drivers or alarm assertion in BMS fault chains without external pull-ups.
What is the purpose of the 36 ns input deglitch filter in SI86S642FE-AS2R?
The 36 ns hardware deglitch filter blocks noise pulses shorter than 36 ns-common in VFDs, SMPS, and relay switching-preventing false triggering of downstream logic. Input pulses ≥36 ns pass through with only 36 ns added delay, preserving signal integrity without software debouncing.
Can SI86S642FE-AS2R support bidirectional communication on all four channels simultaneously?
Yes, SI86S642FE-AS2R supports full bidirectional operation on all four channels. Each A/B pair operates independently, with direction controlled implicitly by driving the corresponding side's input while reading the opposite side's output-no external DIR pin required unlike QSPI-specific variants.
