Product details
Overview
SI86SL41BC-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, selectable fail-safe output (default-low), and operates across –40 to 125 °C in a WB SOIC-16 package. It is used in battery management systems to isolate SPI communication between MCU and isolated ADCs.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SL41BC-AS1R datasheet, SI86SL41BC-AS1R pinout, SI86SL41BC-AS1R application, or SI86SL41BC-AS1R equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional context, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all aligned to the exact ordering part number and its documented electrical, thermal, and safety characteristics.
Technical Context
The SI86SL41BC-AS1R implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing. Its architecture supports bidirectional signal transfer with independent side-A and side-B undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset thresholds (VDDUV+ = 2.18 V, RSTB– ≈ 1.7 V).
This device belongs to the Si86SLx subfamily optimized for low quiescent power: it consumes ~0.25 mA per channel less than Si86S6x counterparts at 5 V, with typical propagation delay of 10 ns and pulse width distortion of 3.5 ns - all while maintaining 100 kV/µs CMTI and reinforced IEC 60747-17 insulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, CAN FD interface isolation without protocol translation. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements for 1000 VAC working voltage systems. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25 to 5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns (typ) - ensures tight timing alignment in motor control gate driver feedback loops. |
| Fail-safe mode | Default-low output - guarantees safe shutdown state during VDD1 loss in BMS fault detection paths. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to 125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments including traction inverter control units. |
| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt noise environments like power inverters. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SL41BC-AS1R is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance ≥8.3 mm, supporting 6000 VRMS isolation. Pin functions are defined per Figure 2 (Si86S64x/L4x) in the datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply | Supplies isolated controller-side logic; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital inputs/outputs | Four unidirectional channels from main side; compatible with CMOS/Schmitt-trigger logic. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power supply | Supplies isolated peripheral-side logic; galvanically separated from VDD1/GND1. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital outputs/inputs | Four isolated output channels; default-low fail-safe behavior active when VDD1 is unpowered. |
| NC (pins 7, 15) | No-connect | Not internally bonded; must remain floating per datasheet layout guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift issues inherent in optocouplers; enables stable 150 Mbps operation over full temperature range. |
| Sleep mode support | SMb pin (not present on SI86SL41BC-AS1R) is absent - this variant uses fixed low-power architecture without external sleep control. |
| Tri-state outputs | EN1/EN2 pins enable/disable all outputs on respective sides - allows shared-bus arbitration in multi-device SPI daisy chains. |
| Reinforced safety certification | UL 1577, VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, CQC GB4943.1 - satisfies system-level compliance for medical and automotive end equipment. |
| High-noise immunity inputs | Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs with 0.15×VDD hysteresis - rejects >36 ns glitches in noisy motor drive environments. |
Applications
| Battery Management System (BMS) | 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8641BB-AS1R | Standard-power variant (no "L" suffix); higher IDD (~0.84 mA/channel @ 5 V), identical pinout and timing specs. | Preferred where higher data integrity margin is needed at cost of ~15% higher quiescent current. | Select SI8641BB-AS1R only if system thermal budget permits higher static power; otherwise SI86SL41BC-AS1R is optimal for thermally constrained automotive modules. |
| ADUM141E0BRZ | Analog Devices' 4-channel isolator; 150 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, –40 to 125 °C, but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and VDE 60747-17 reinforcement. | Suitable for industrial automation but not certified for automotive safety-critical subsystems. | Choose ADUM141E0BRZ only for non-automotive designs requiring second-source availability; SI86SL41BC-AS1R remains mandatory for ISO 26262-compliant BMS or OBC. |
Compared with SI8641BB-AS1R and ADUM141E0BRZ, SI86SL41BC-AS1R uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 0, 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation, and low-quiescent-power operation - making it the only option qualified for ASIL-B/C traction inverter signal isolation without derating or additional safety mechanisms.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SL41BC-AS1R?
SI86SL41BC-AS1R is rated for 6000 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577, with reinforced insulation certified to IEC 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1. This rating applies to the WB SOIC-16 package and supports working voltages up to 1000 VAC in end equipment complying with IEC 61010-1 and IEC 62368-1.
Does SI86SL41BC-AS1R support SPI isolation?
Yes, SI86SL41BC-AS1R supports SPI isolation via its four unidirectional channels: A1–A4 and B1–B4 can be configured as MOSI, MISO, SCLK, and CS lines. While it lacks dedicated SPI control pins (e.g., MCSb, SCSb) found in Si86SSx variants, its pin-compatible routing and 150 Mbps capability make it suitable for standard SPI bus isolation in BMS and OBC applications.
What fail-safe behavior does SI86SL41BC-AS1R implement?
SI86SL41BC-AS1R implements a default-low fail-safe output mode: when VDD1 is unpowered (e.g., MCU reset or brownout), outputs B1–B4 remain logic low as long as VDD2 is powered. This behavior is fixed per the "BC" ordering code and ensures safe shutdown of downstream peripherals such as gate drivers or ADC reference switches.
Is SI86SL41BC-AS1R pin-compatible with other Si86S64x devices?
Yes, SI86SL41BC-AS1R shares identical WB SOIC-16 pinout and footprint with Si86S640/641/642 and Si86SL40/41/42 variants. All use the same A1–A4/VDD1/GND1 and B1–B4/VDD2/GND2 mapping per Figure 2 of the datasheet, enabling drop-in replacement within the same package variant without PCB redesign.
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous operation of SI86SL41BC-AS1R?
SI86SL41BC-AS1R is rated for continuous operation from –40 to 125 °C ambient temperature. This range is validated under full-load conditions (all channels active at 150 Mbps, CL = 15 pF) and aligns with AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements, making it suitable for under-hood automotive locations including battery disconnect units and inverter control boards.
