Product details
Overview
SI86SL40BC-AS1R from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel, low-power digital isolator with reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation, 150 Mbps data rate, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive systems. It features Schmitt-trigger CMOS inputs, tri-state outputs with enable, selectable fail-safe (default-high/low), and operates across –40 to 125 °C with 2.25–5.5 V supply on both sides. It is used in battery management systems and traction inverters where high noise immunity and safety-certified signal isolation are required.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SL40BC-AS1R datasheet, SI86SL40BC-AS1R pinout, SI86SL40BC-AS1R application, or SI86SL40BC-AS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation per UL 1577 and VDE 60747-17, 10 ns typical propagation delay, 3.5 ns pulse width distortion, 100 kV/µs CMTI, and sleep-mode capability via SMb pin for power-sensitive automotive subsystems.
Technical Context
The SI86SL40BC-AS1R implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating start-up initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. Its architecture supports bidirectional channel operation with independent side-A and side-B undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset thresholds (VDDUV+ = 2.18 V, RSTB– ≈ 1.7 V).
It integrates a dedicated SMb (sleep mode active-low) input that disables all transmitters except one monitoring channel, reducing quiescent current to 750 µA per side. The device uses HF XMTR/RCVR circuitry per channel and supports fail-safe output states determined at power loss based on ordering option ('B' suffix denotes default-low).

Pinout & Package
SI86SL40BC-AS1R is housed in a WB SOIC-16 package (wide-body, 10.3 mm creepage/clearance), supporting 6000 VRMS isolation. Pin functions align with Si86SL4x family pinout as shown below.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply pair | Provides bias for input-side logic and transmitter circuits; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF local bypassing. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four unidirectional or bidirectional isolated data inputs/outputs; compatible with CMOS/Schmitt thresholds. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control (active low) | Asserting low disables all channels except one monitoring path, reducing current to 750 µA/side. |
| Isolation Barrier | Internal die separation | Robust semiconductor barrier enabling 6000 VRMS withstand and 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four isolated outputs/inputs referenced to side B ground; support fail-safe default state during VDD1 loss. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power supply pair | Independent bias for output-side logic and receiver circuits; enables dual-supply system partitioning. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced isolation certification | UL 1577 (6000 VRMS), VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1/60601-1 - eliminates need for external safety capacitors in medical and EV systems. |

| Fail-safe output selection | Ordering option 'B' sets default-low output during VDD1 loss - prevents unintended activation of downstream MOSFET gates. |
| Sleep mode with wake-on-SMb | 750 µA/side standby current with single-channel wake capability - enables ultra-low-power sleep in vehicle ECU wake-up paths. |
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture requires zero boot time - ensures immediate signal pass-through after VDD ramp-up. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2400ARWZ | 4-channel, 25 Mbps, 2500 VRMS, SOIC-16, no sleep mode, non-automotive grade | Limited to industrial automation; lacks AEC-Q100, 6000 VRMS, and CMTI >50 kV/µs | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive systems where 25 Mbps suffices and safety certification is less stringent. |
| ISO7741FDWR | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16, no SMb pin, TI's reinforced isolation | Supports automotive but not AEC-Q100; lower isolation rating and no dedicated sleep control | Prefer when TI ecosystem integration is prioritized and 5000 VRMS meets end-equipment safety margin. |
Compared with ADUM2400ARWZ and ISO7741FDWR, SI86SL40BC-AS1R delivers higher data rate (150 Mbps), superior isolation (6000 VRMS), AEC-Q100 qualification, and integrated sleep-mode control-making it uniquely suited for next-generation EV powertrain subsystems requiring both performance and functional safety.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI86SL40BC-AS1R?
SI86SL40BC-AS1R provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 (1 minute) and is certified to VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, and CSA 60601-1. It is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use and supports medical and industrial safety standards without external components. SI86SL40BC-AS1R meets creepage/clearance requirements for WB SOIC-16 packaging in high-voltage systems.
Does SI86SL40BC-AS1R support fail-safe output behavior during power loss?
Yes, SI86SL40BC-AS1R offers selectable fail-safe mode via ordering option: the 'B' suffix indicates default-low output state when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active. This prevents unintended activation of downstream drivers in safety-critical applications like motor control. SI86SL40BC-AS1R implements this using internal UVLO and reset circuitry with RSTB– ≈ 1.7 V threshold.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SL40BC-AS1R?
The SMb pin is an active-low sleep mode control input. When pulled low, SI86SL40BC-AS1R disables all transmitter/receiver circuits except one monitoring channel, reducing quiescent current to 750 µA per side. Releasing SMb (high or open) restores full operation within 1 µs if VDDOK is met. SI86SL40BC-AS1R uses this for ultra-low-power wake-up paths in automotive ECUs.
What are the supply voltage and temperature specifications for SI86SL40BC-AS1R?
SI86SL40BC-AS1R operates from 2.25 V to 5.5 V on both VDD1 and VDD2, supporting mixed-voltage system design. It is rated for –40 to 125 °C ambient operation and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified. Junction temperature is limited to 150 °C, and thermal design must account for power dissipation across all four channels at maximum data rate.
Can SI86SL40BC-AS1R be used in SPI isolation applications?
While SI86SL40BC-AS1R is a general-purpose 4-channel isolator-not a dedicated SPI isolator like Si86SSxx-it supports SPI signal isolation by assigning A1–A4/B1–B4 to MOSI, MISO, SCLK, and CS. Its 150 Mbps data rate, 10 ns propagation delay, and 3.5 ns pulse width distortion ensure reliable high-speed SPI operation up to 37.5 MHz clock frequency. SI86SL40BC-AS1R requires external direction control for full-duplex SPI.
