Product details
Overview
SI86SL40FC-IS1 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 output, and operates across –40 to 125 °C with 2.25–5.5 V dual supplies. 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 SI86SL40FC-IS1 datasheet, SI86SL40FC-IS1 pinout, SI86SL40FC-IS1 application, or SI86SL40FC-IS1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation (IEC 60747-17), 10 ns typical propagation delay, 3.5 ns pulse width distortion, transient immunity ≥100 kV/µs, and sleep-mode support via SMb pin for ultra-low quiescent current in automotive power electronics.
Technical Context
The SI86SL40FC-IS1 implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating startup 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 (RSTB± ~1.7 V), ensuring deterministic behavior during supply transients.
It integrates tri-state output control via EN1/EN2 pins and a dedicated active-low SMb pin that places the entire device-including isolated-side circuitry-into sleep mode (750 µA per side). Fail-safe output state (default high or low) is fixed by ordering option and latched during unpowered conditions on one side while the other remains powered.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed CAN FD, SPI, and gate driver signaling without protocol translation. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577, VDE 60747-17, and IEC 62368-1 for onboard chargers and BMS. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables precise timing-critical feedback loops in motor control and inverter gate drive circuits. |
| Pulse width distortion | 3.5 ns typical - ensures minimal duty cycle error in PWM-isolated signals for accurate power stage control. |
| Transient immunity | ≥100 kV/µs - suppresses fast common-mode noise from IGBT/SiC switching edges in traction inverters. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to 125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SL40FC-IS1 is housed in a narrow-body SOIC-16 package (NB SOIC-16) with creepage/clearance compliant to reinforced insulation standards. Pin assignments follow the Si86S64x/L4x family layout, with four isolated channels, dual enable inputs (EN1/EN2), and an active-low sleep mode control (SMb).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power domain | Supplies and grounds the input-side logic; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors placed adjacent to pins. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four unidirectional or bidirectional input channels; compatible with CMOS/Schmitt-trigger logic levels. |
| EN1 | Side A output enable | Active-high control: drives all Side A outputs into high-impedance when low, enabling bus sharing. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low pin that shuts down internal RF transmitter/receiver circuits on both sides, reducing current to 750 µA/side. |
| Isolation Barrier | Die-level separation | Robust semiconductor barrier providing 6000 VRMS withstand, 100 kV/µs CMTI, and <10 ns propagation delay. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four isolated output channels referenced to VDD2/GND2; electrically decoupled from Side A for ground-loop elimination. |
| EN2 | Side B output enable | Active-high control: places all Side B outputs in high-Z state, supporting multi-drop isolated bus architectures. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power domain | Independent supply domain for output-side logic; enables galvanic separation between controller and power stage grounds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-startup initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot-time delays or configuration sequences-output follows input immediately after UVLO exit. |
| Selectable fail-safe output | Ordering option fixes default output state (high or low) during VDD1/VDD2 brownout, preventing undefined gate driver states in BMS fault conditions. |
| Sleep mode via SMb | Reduces total quiescent current to 750 µA per side while retaining ability to wake on SMb edge-critical for always-on vehicle subsystems. |
| Tri-state outputs with EN1/EN2 | Enables shared isolated buses (e.g., SPI or CAN) by placing outputs in high-Z without disrupting isolation integrity or timing. |
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating | Validated for functional safety applications up to 6000 VRMS, supporting ASIL-B/C system compliance in EV powertrain designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM4160BRWZ | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 2500 VRMS, no sleep mode, 3.3 V only supply | Limited to industrial automation; lacks AEC-Q100 and 6000 VRMS for automotive HV systems | Choose ADUM4160BRWZ only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring basic USB isolation. |
| ISO7741FDWR | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, no SMb pin, higher quiescent current (1.2 mA/channel) | Suitable for industrial PLCs but not certified for automotive traction systems per AEC-Q100 | Select ISO7741FDWR when 5000 VRMS suffices and sleep mode is unnecessary; avoid for BMS or OBC. |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SL40FC-IS1 and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86SL40FC-IS1 provides 6000 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577 and is certified to IEC 60747-17 (reinforced insulation), IEC 62368-1, and IEC 60601-1. It meets CSA and CQC requirements for GB4943.1, making it suitable for high-voltage automotive applications including battery packs and inverters where reinforced insulation is mandated.
Does SI86SL40FC-IS1 support fail-safe output configuration, and how is it implemented?
Yes, SI86SL40FC-IS1 offers factory-configured fail-safe output: either default-high or default-low when one side's supply is unpowered while the other remains active. This behavior is fixed at manufacture and ensures predictable gate driver or ADC interface states during brownout conditions in SI86SL40FC-IS1-based BMS and inverter designs.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SL40FC-IS1, and what power savings does it enable?
The SMb pin in SI86SL40FC-IS1 is an active-low input that places the entire device-including isolated-side circuitry-into sleep mode, reducing quiescent current to 750 µA per side. Unlike simple enable pins, SMb maintains wake-up capability via its own dedicated isolation path, enabling ultra-low-power always-on monitoring in SI86SL40FC-IS1 automotive subsystems.
What are the key timing specifications of SI86SL40FC-IS1 relevant to motor control applications?
SI86SL40FC-IS1 delivers 10 ns typical propagation delay and 3.5 ns typical pulse width distortion-critical for preserving PWM fidelity in motor control. These specs ensure minimal skew between complementary gate drive signals, directly supporting tight dead-time control and reduced shoot-through risk in SI86SL40FC-IS1-isolated inverter designs.
Is SI86SL40FC-IS1 compatible with standard SOIC-16 PCB footprints, and what package variant does it use?
Yes, SI86SL40FC-IS1 uses the narrow-body SOIC-16 (NB SOIC-16) package with 1.27 mm pitch and 10.3 mm × 7.5 mm body dimensions. It is footprint-compatible with industry-standard SOIC-16 layouts and meets IPC-7351B naming conventions, simplifying migration from legacy isolators in SI86SL40FC-IS1 designs.
