Product details
Overview
SI86S642HE-AS2R from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel reinforced digital isolator with bidirectional signal isolation across an integrated semiconductor barrier. It supports DC to 150 Mbps data rates, delivers 10 ns typical propagation delay, and provides 6000 VRMS isolation rating in a WB SOIC-16 package. It is used in isolated motor control gate drivers and battery management system communication interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S642HE-AS2R datasheet, SI86S642HE-AS2R pinout, SI86S642HE-AS2R application, or SI86S642HE-AS2R equivalent, key selection criteria include reinforced IEC 60747-17 certification, fail-safe default-low output configuration, 2.25–5.5 V dual-supply operation, and 100 kV/µs CMTI performance - all verified for automotive-grade AEC-Q100 compliance.
Technical Context
The SI86S642HE-AS2R implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across its isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. Its architecture includes Schmitt-trigger inputs with 0.15×VDD hysteresis and CMOS-compatible thresholds on both sides.
It features two forward and two reverse isolated channels, tri-state outputs controlled by EN1/EN2 pins, and a fail-safe mode that holds outputs low during unpowered VDD1 conditions while VDD2 remains active. The device operates across –40 °C to +125 °C and meets UL 1577 (6000 VRMS), VDE 60747-17, and CSA 62368-1 reinforced insulation standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, isolated ADC/DAC interfaces, and real-time motor control feedback loops. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables tight timing budgets in closed-loop power electronics and fast-response safety systems. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS - certified for reinforced insulation per UL 1577, suitable for 1000 VAC working voltage applications. |
| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - ensures reliable operation in noisy inverter and traction drive environments with rapid voltage transients. |
| Supply 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. |
| Fail-safe mode | Default low output - guarantees safe shutdown state in BMS and OBC systems when primary-side supply fails. |
| Operating temp | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
| AEC-Q100 | Grade 1 qualified - validated for automotive powertrain and charging applications with zero defects at temperature cycling and HTOL stress. |
Pinout & Package
SI86S642HE-AS2R is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance ≥8.3 mm, supporting 6000 VRMS isolation. Pin numbering follows standard SOIC-16 layout with isolation barrier between Side A (pins 1–8) and Side B (pins 9–16).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply | Provides 2.25–5.5 V bias for input-side logic; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF local bypassing. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four bidirectional isolated channels; configured as forward/reverse via internal RF modulation path. |
| EN1 | Side A output enable | Active-high control: drives all A-side outputs into high-impedance when low - enables shared-bus arbitration. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power supply | Independent 2.25–5.5 V bias for output-side logic; galvanically isolated from VDD1. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Corresponding isolated outputs; maintain state integrity during VDD1 brownout if VDD2 remains powered. |
| EN2 | Side B output enable | Active-high control: places B-side outputs in tri-state - critical for multi-device daisy-chain configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-startup initialization | RF carrier modulation eliminates boot sequence delays - output transitions begin immediately after VDD exceeds UVLO+ (2.18 V). |
| Reinforced insulation | IEC 60747-17 certified barrier withstands 6000 VRMS for 1 minute - satisfies functional safety requirements in ISO 26262 ASIL-B/C systems. |
| Tri-state outputs | EN1/EN2 pins provide synchronous high-impedance control of all four channels per side - simplifies bus contention management in multi-isolator topologies. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | 0.15×VDD hysteresis rejects >36 ns noise pulses - prevents false triggering in EMI-heavy motor drive and charger PCB layouts. |
| Fail-safe default low | Guaranteed low output on B-side when VDD1 < 2.25 V and VDD2 is powered - enforces safe state in battery disconnect scenarios. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Validated across –40 °C to +125 °C with HTOL, TC, and ESD testing - meets automotive production reliability KPIs for onboard chargers and inverters. |

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, non-AEC-Q100 | Lacks automotive qualification and 6000 VRMS rating; lower CMTI (75 kV/µs) | Acceptable for industrial automation where AEC-Q100 and reinforced insulation are not mandated. |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86S642HE-AS2R and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86S642HE-AS2R is rated for 6000 VRMS isolation per UL 1577 for 1 minute and certified to IEC 60747-17 (reinforced), CSA 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1. These approvals validate its use in high-voltage automotive and industrial systems requiring reinforced insulation barriers.
Does SI86S642HE-AS2R require startup initialization before transmitting data?
No, SI86S642HE-AS2R uses RF-based on/off keying and requires no startup initialization. Output transitions begin within 0.3 ms after VDD exceeds UVLO+ (2.18 V), enabling immediate signal transfer upon power-up - critical for safety-critical automotive subsystems.
What is the function of the EN1 and EN2 pins on SI86S642HE-AS2R?
EN1 and EN2 are active-high output enable pins controlling all four channels on Side A and Side B respectively. When low, they place corresponding outputs in high-impedance state - essential for bus arbitration and multi-device isolation networks in motor control and OBC designs.
How does the fail-safe default-low configuration of SI86S642HE-AS2R improve system safety?
When VDD1 drops below 2.25 V while VDD2 remains powered, SI86S642HE-AS2R forces B-side outputs low. This behavior prevents unintended activation of high-side switches or gate drivers during primary-side power loss - a mandatory feature for ASIL-B/C compliant BMS and traction inverter designs.
What is the maximum data rate supported by SI86S642HE-AS2R and what timing performance does it deliver?
SI86S642HE-AS2R supports DC to 150 Mbps data rates with 10 ns typical propagation delay and 3.5 ns pulse width distortion. This enables high-fidelity transmission of fast SPI commands, resolver feedback, and PWM edge signals in real-time power electronics control loops.
