Product details
Overview
SI86S642HE-AS2 from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel reinforced digital isolator with bidirectional signal isolation across an integrated 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 features Schmitt-trigger + CMOS inputs, tri-state outputs with enable, and selectable fail-safe output (default high or low) for industrial motor control and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S642HE-AS2 datasheet, SI86S642HE-AS2 pinout, SI86S642HE-AS2 application, or SI86S642HE-AS2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4-channel A/B I/O configuration, WB SOIC-16 package with 8.3 mm creepage, reinforced IEC 60747-17 certification, and support for fail-safe mode selection via ordering code - all critical for isolated ADC interfaces and traction inverter gate driver supervision.
Technical Context
The SI86S642HE-AS2 implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a monolithic silicon dioxide isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing behavior. Its architecture delivers 3.5 ns typical pulse width distortion and 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI), with independent UVLO and reset circuitry per side (VDD1/VDD2) ensuring robust operation during supply transients.
It supports dual-supply operation with side-specific enable pins (EN1/EN2), tri-state output control, and failsafe output state selection determined at manufacture - not configurable in-circuit. The device includes input deglitch filtering (36 ns) and operates across –40 °C to +125 °C ambient, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for automotive onboard chargers and BMS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | DC to 150 Mbps - enables high-speed SPI, isolated ADC sampling, and real-time feedback loops without protocol translation. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typical - ensures tight timing alignment between controller and isolated power stage, critical for PWM synchronization. |
| Isolation Rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements for 1000 VAC industrial bus interfaces and EV traction inverters. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt environments like IGBT gate drivers and motor phase legs. |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive use and industrial variable-frequency drives. |
| Fail-Safe Mode | Default high-output (HE suffix) - ensures gate driver disable or fault flag assertion during VDD1 loss in safety-critical paths. |
Pinout & Package
SI86S642HE-AS2 is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with 10.3 mm body width, 8.3 mm creepage, and reinforced insulation barrier. Pin numbering follows standard SOIC layout (pin 1 = VDD1, pin 16 = VDD2), with 8-channel I/O split across two isolated sides.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply | Provides bias for A-side transmitter circuits; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF local bypassing. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four unidirectional input channels from controller side; accept CMOS/Schmitt thresholds (VIH ≥ 0.7×VDD1). |
| EN1 | Side A output enable | Active-high control: drives A-side outputs into high-impedance when low - used for bus arbitration or power sequencing. |
| Isolation Barrier | Internal SiO₂ dielectric | Monolithic semiconductor barrier rated for 6000 VRMS withstand; no external components required for isolation integrity. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four isolated output channels to power stage or sensor side; VOH ≥ VDD2–0.4 V at –4 mA load. |
| EN2 | Side B output enable | Active-high control: places B-side outputs in tri-state - enables shared-bus topologies on isolated side. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power supply | Independent bias for B-side receiver circuits; supports separate 3.3 V/5 V domains with no ground loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No start-up initialization | RF carrier modulation eliminates boot sequence - outputs follow inputs within 0.3 ms of VDD stabilization, avoiding system lockup. |
| Selectable fail-safe output | HE suffix denotes default-high output during VDD1 loss - asserts active-low fault signals or disables gate drivers by design. |
| Input deglitch filter | 36 ns pulse rejection - suppresses EMI-induced spikes on motor current sense lines without affecting 150 Mbps data integrity. |
| Tri-state outputs with EN | Dual enable pins (EN1/EN2) allow independent side-level bus contention control - essential for multi-master isolated SPI buses. |
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 | Qualified for functional safety applications requiring dual insulation barriers - accepted for IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1 end-equipment certification. |
Applications
| Motor Control Feedback | Isolated ADC Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Real-time current/voltage sensing in 3-phase inverter legs using shunt resistors and isolated sigma-delta modulators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolates digital bitstream from modulator to MCU while preserving timing integrity for closed-loop current regulation. Use Value: 10 ns propagation delay and 3.5 ns pulse width distortion enable <100 ns total loop latency - sufficient for 20 kHz PWM switching with overcurrent protection. |
Use Scenario: Connecting isolated 24-bit ADCs (e.g., AD7403) to host processors in medical imaging power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transfers serial bitstream across isolation barrier with deterministic jitter <1 ns RMS - preserves ENOB in precision measurement paths. Use Value: 150 Mbps capability supports 20 MSPS ADC sampling with 8x oversampling, eliminating need for parallel isolation or FPGA glue logic. |
| Onboard Charger Supervision | Traction Inverter Gate Driver Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring DC-link voltage, coolant temperature, and contactor status in EV onboard chargers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fail-safe isolated digital inputs to MCU; HE suffix ensures open-circuit detection defaults to "charger disabled" state. Use Value: Default-high output during VDD1 loss prevents unintended charging activation - satisfies ISO 6469-3 functional safety requirement for HV interlock monitoring. |
Use Scenario: Transmitting PWM signals and fault acknowledgments between MCU and isolated gate driver ICs (e.g., Si823Hx) in 800 V traction inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Delivers <10 ns channel-to-channel skew and >100 kV/µs CMTI to prevent shoot-through during high-dV/dt switching transitions. Use Value: Enables 10 kHz–20 kHz switching frequencies with <50 ns dead-time margin - directly supporting SiC MOSFET gate drive timing budgets. |
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, default-low fail-safe | Lacks 6000 VRMS rating and AEC-Q100 qualification; lower CMTI (75 kV/µs) | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial PLC I/O where 5 kVRMS suffices and default-low behavior aligns with system logic. |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16, no fail-safe selection option | Lower data rate limits SPI clock speed to ≤12.5 MHz; no deglitch filter or sleep mode | Suitable for cost-sensitive battery monitor BMS where 50 Mbps covers UART telemetry and thermal sensor polling only. |
Compared with ADUM4402BRWZ and ISO6741FDWR, SI86S642HE-AS2 provides higher isolation voltage, automotive qualification, and configurable fail-safe state - making it the only choice for ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliant traction inverter supervision and 150 Mbps isolated data acquisition.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86S642HE-AS2 and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86S642HE-AS2 is rated for 6000 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577 and carries reinforced insulation certification per IEC 60747-17. It also meets CSA 62368-1 and 60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1 - enabling use in medical power supplies and EV traction inverters requiring double insulation without additional external barriers.
Does SI86S642HE-AS2 require external components for basic operation?
SI86S642HE-AS2 requires only two bypass capacitors per side: 0.1 µF ceramic and 10 µF bulk capacitor placed near VDD1/GND1 and VDD2/GND2. No pull-up/down resistors, level shifters, or initialization firmware are needed - the device begins passing data within 0.3 ms of VDD stabilization.
How does the HE suffix in SI86S642HE-AS2 affect its behavior during power loss?
The HE suffix indicates a factory-configured default-high fail-safe mode. When VDD1 drops below UVLO threshold while VDD2 remains powered, all B1–B4 outputs transition to logic high - enabling safe shutdown of gate drivers or assertion of fault flags in safety-critical power stages without external supervision circuitry.
Can SI86S642HE-AS2 support bidirectional communication on individual channels?
No - SI86S642HE-AS2 has four unidirectional channels (A1→B1, A2→B2, A3→B3, A4→B4). For bidirectional data flow, such as SPI full-duplex, designers must pair it with a complementary reverse-channel isolator or select the Si86SQ44 QSPI variant with direction control.
What is the purpose of the 36 ns input deglitch filter in SI86S642HE-AS2?
The 36 ns deglitch filter rejects narrow noise pulses (<36 ns width) induced by switching transients or ESD events on A1–A4 inputs - preventing false edge detection in motor current sensing or contactor status monitoring while preserving full 150 Mbps data throughput for valid signals.
