Product details
Overview
SI86S661BB-IU from Skyworks Solutions is a 6-channel, reinforced digital isolator with bidirectional signal isolation across a semiconductor-based 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 operates from 2.25–5.5 V supplies and features selectable fail-safe output (default low), tri-state outputs with enable, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive traction inverters and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86S661BB-IU datasheet, SI86S661BB-IU pinout, SI86S661BB-IU application, or SI86S661BB-IU equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6-channel configuration, reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation, fail-safe default-low option, sleep-mode support via SMb pin, and compatibility with industrial motor control and automotive onboard charger designs requiring high CMTI and low pulse width distortion.
Technical Context
The SI86S661BB-IU implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a monolithic semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity. Its architecture includes independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset circuits per side (VDD1/VDD2), with RSTB thresholds at ~1.7 V and UVLO hysteresis of 105–160 mV.
It integrates Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs for enhanced noise rejection, supports tri-state outputs via EN1/EN2 pins, and offers fail-safe operation where unpowered Side A results in defined low-level outputs on Side B when VDD2 is active-confirmed by Table 4 logic operation for Si86S6x/Lx/Mx devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces including isolated SPI and QSPI bus extensions. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables tight timing budgets in real-time motor control and power converter feedback loops. |
| Pulse width distortion | 3.5 ns typical - preserves duty cycle integrity for PWM and clock distribution across isolation barrier. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for safety-critical automotive and medical systems. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V - allows interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Fail-safe mode | Default low output - ensures safe system state during VDD1 loss while VDD2 remains powered, critical for fault-tolerant gate drivers. |
| Transient immunity | ≥100 kV/µs - suppresses fast common-mode transients in high-dv/dt environments like IGBT/SiC inverter switching nodes. |
Pinout & Package
The SI86S661BB-IU is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation. 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, GND1 | Side A supply and ground | Power domain for input-side logic (A1–A6, EN1); requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B supply and ground | Power domain for output-side logic (B1–B6, EN2); independent biasing enables dual-supply operation. |
| A1–A6 | Digital I/O (Side A) | Unidirectional or bidirectional channels configurable per application; Schmitt-trigger inputs reject <36 ns glitches. |
| B1–B6 | Digital I/O (Side B) | Isolated counterparts to A1–A6; output impedance ≈50 Ω for controlled-impedance PCB trace routing. |
| EN1, EN2 | Active-high enable | Tri-states all outputs on respective side; used for power sequencing and dynamic channel gating. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low pin that disables internal RF transmitters while retaining one channel for wake-up detection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot delay-output follows input immediately after UVLO exit (~0.3 ms). |
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating | Validated insulation structure supports 6000 VRMS withstand and 1000 V RMS working voltage in automotive and medical end-equipment. |
| Tri-state outputs with enable | EN1/EN2 allow synchronized high-impedance state across all six channels-essential for bus arbitration and multi-master isolation. |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | Ordering option "BB" denotes default-low behavior: B1–B6 drive low when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 is active. |
| Sleep mode via SMb | Reduces quiescent current to 750 µA per side while maintaining wake-up capability-enables ultra-low-power standby in EV charging controllers. |
Applications
| Motor Control Feedback Isolation | Automotive Onboard Charger (OBC) |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6601ARIZ-RL | 6-channel, 5000 VRMS isolation, integrated isolated DC-DC converter; no SMb pin; higher quiescent current (2.8 mA/channel @ 1 Mbps). | Preferred where auxiliary isolated power is needed; unsuitable for space-constrained layouts due to larger LGA package. | Select ADUM6601ARIZ-RL only if isolated 3.3 V supply generation is required alongside signal isolation. |
| ISO6760FDWR | 6-channel, 5000 VRMS, 50 Mbps max data rate, no fail-safe option, no sleep mode, lower CMTI (85 kV/µs). | Targeted at cost-sensitive industrial PLC I/O modules-not qualified for automotive use or high-noise traction inverter environments. | Choose ISO6760FDWR for non-automotive, lower-speed applications where AEC-Q100 and 150 Mbps are not required. |
Compared with ADUM6601ARIZ-RL and ISO6760FDWR, the SI86S661BB-IU uniquely combines 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification, 150 Mbps capability, and SMb-controlled sleep mode-making it optimal for automotive traction inverters and high-reliability industrial power systems where safety, speed, and ultra-low standby power are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of the SI86S661BB-IU?
The SI86S661BB-IU is rated for 6000 VRMS isolation per UL 1577 (1 minute) and carries reinforced insulation certification per IEC 60747-17. It is also compliant with CSA 62368-1 and CQC GB4943.1. These certifications are confirmed in the official Skyworks datasheet revision 206553B and apply directly to the SI86S661BB-IU ordering option in WB SOIC-16 packaging.
Does the SI86S661BB-IU support fail-safe operation, and how is it configured?
Yes, the SI86S661BB-IU implements selectable fail-safe mode via ordering code: the "BB" suffix indicates default-low output behavior. When VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, all B1–B6 outputs drive logic low-ensuring safe deactivation of downstream gate drivers or fault indicators. This behavior is verified in Table 4 of the SI86S6xx datasheet.
What is the function of the SMb pin on the SI86S661BB-IU, and how does it affect power consumption?
The SMb pin on the SI86S661BB-IU enables hardware-controlled sleep mode: driving SMb low reduces total device current to 750 µA per side while retaining one active channel to monitor the pin state. This feature is documented in Section 3.4.2 of the datasheet and is unique to SM-series variants like SI86S661BB-IU.
Can the SI86S661BB-IU be used in SPI isolation applications, and what are its limitations?
The SI86S661BB-IU is not an SPI-dedicated isolator (unlike Si86SSx series); it provides six general-purpose isolated channels. For SPI, users must assign A1–A4/B1–B4 to MOSI/MISO/SCLK/CS and manage direction externally. It lacks built-in SPI protocol logic or buffered MI output-so it supports basic SPI but not advanced features like automatic direction control or interrupt forwarding found in Si86SS51.
What are the recommended bypass capacitor values and placement guidelines for the SI86S661BB-IU?
Skyworks specifies 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF bulk capacitors between VDD1–GND1 and VDD2–GND2. The 0.1 µF capacitor must be placed within 3 mm of the respective VDD/GND pins, and both capacitors should be routed with short, low-inductance traces. This requirement is explicitly stated in Section 3.2.1 ("Supply Bypass") of the SI86S6xx datasheet and applies identically to SI86S661BB-IU.
