Product details
Overview
SI86SL42BC-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 two forward and two reverse channels, Schmitt-trigger inputs, tri-state outputs with enable, and operates across –40 to 125 °C in a WB SOIC-16 package. It is used in battery management systems and traction inverters where high noise immunity and fail-safe operation are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SL42BC-AS1R datasheet, SI86SL42BC-AS1R pinout, SI86SL42BC-AS1R application, or SI86SL42BC-AS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include reinforced IEC 60747-17 certification, 10 ns typical propagation delay, 3.5 ns pulse width distortion, sleep mode support via SMb pin, and default-low fail-safe output configuration.
Technical Context
The SI86SL42BC-AS1R implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity. Its architecture supports independent UVLO monitoring per side (VDD1/VDD2), RSTB reset thresholds (~1.7 V), and configurable directionality via internal channel mapping.
It integrates a dedicated SMb pin for active-low sleep control, reducing quiescent current to 750 µA per side while retaining one always-on channel for wake-up detection. The device uses CMOS thresholds with Schmitt-trigger inputs and supports tri-state outputs via EN1/EN2 pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces including isolated SPI and QSPI data paths. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for safety-critical automotive and industrial applications. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables precise timing alignment in real-time motor control and power converter feedback loops. |
| Pulse width distortion | 3.5 ns typical - ensures minimal duty cycle degradation for PWM signal isolation in inverter gate drivers. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25 to 5.5 V - allows direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry. |

| Transient immunity | 100 kV/µs minimum - provides immunity against fast-switching EMI in high-dv/dt power electronics environments. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SL42BC-AS1R is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance compliant for 6000 VRMS working voltage. Pinout matches Si86SM42 per Figure 3 of datasheet 206553B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Side A supply | Primary-side power input (2.25–5.5 V); requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| GND1 | Side A ground | Reference for Side A I/O and supply; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four bidirectional or unidirectional channels; configured as two forward/two reverse per ordering option. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low input that disables all transmitters except wake-up monitor; pulls device into 750 µA/side sleep state. |
| GND2 | Side B ground | Secondary-side reference; galvanically isolated from GND1; defines safety barrier separation. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Isolated outputs corresponding to A1–A4; support tri-state via EN2 when enabled. |
| VDD2 | Side B supply | Secondary-side power input; independently regulated; supports asymmetric supply configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot sequence delays - output becomes valid within 0.3 ms of VDD stabilization. |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | Default-low output during unpowered VDD1 ensures safe shutdown state in BMS fault conditions. |
| Schmitt-trigger + CMOS inputs | Provides >0.15 × VDD input hysteresis - rejects sub-36 ns noise pulses and improves noise margin in noisy motor drive environments. |
| Tri-state outputs with enable | EN1/EN2 pins allow synchronized high-impedance output states - essential for bus arbitration in isolated SPI or CAN FD interfaces. |
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating | Validated for reinforced insulation per global safety standards - eliminates need for external creepage/clearance design overhead in medical and EV systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM141D0BRIZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 3750 VRMS isolation, no sleep mode, 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply. | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and reinforced 6000 VRMS rating; suitable for industrial but not automotive safety-critical use. | Choose ADUM141D0BRIZ only if 3750 VRMS suffices and sleep mode is unnecessary. |
| ISO7741FDWR | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, 2.25–5.5 V, no SMb pin, lower CMTI (85 kV/µs). | Lower data rate and transient immunity limit use in high-frequency inverter control; no automotive qualification. | Select ISO7741FDWR for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where 100 Mbps meets bandwidth needs. |
Compared with ADUM141D0BRIZ and ISO7741FDWR, SI86SL42BC-AS1R delivers higher isolation voltage (6000 VRMS), automotive qualification, integrated sleep mode, and superior transient immunity - making it the only choice for ISO 26262-compliant BMS and traction inverter designs requiring fail-safe behavior and extended temperature operation.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI86SL42BC-AS1R?
The SI86SL42BC-AS1R has a reinforced isolation rating of 6000 VRMS per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17. This rating is validated for 1-minute withstand and supports working voltages up to 1200 V peak in end-equipment complying with IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1. The SI86SL42BC-AS1R achieves this in its WB SOIC-16 package with certified creepage and clearance distances.
Does the SI86SL42BC-AS1R support fail-safe operation during power loss?
Yes, the SI86SL42BC-AS1R is ordered with default-low fail-safe output configuration. When VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, outputs B1–B4 are held low - a critical safety feature for battery management systems and motor control where undefined states could trigger hazardous conditions. This behavior is confirmed in Table 4 of datasheet 206553B.
How does the SMb pin function on the SI86SL42BC-AS1R?
The SMb pin on the SI86SL42BC-AS1R is an active-low sleep mode control input. When driven low, it disables all transmitter circuits except one dedicated wake-up channel, reducing total current to 750 µA per side. When released (high or open), the SI86SL42BC-AS1R resumes full operation with 150 Mbps capability and 10 ns propagation delay.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SI86SL42BC-AS1R?
The SI86SL42BC-AS1R supports a maximum data rate of 150 Mbps across all four channels. This is achievable with CL = 15 pF loads and 5 V supplies, as specified in Table 10 of datasheet 206553B. The SI86SL42BC-AS1R maintains this rate over its full operating temperature range (–40 to 125 °C) without derating.
Is the SI86SL42BC-AS1R qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SI86SL42BC-AS1R is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (–40 to 125 °C) operation. It is manufactured using automotive-specific process flows, supports AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, and is listed in IMDS/CAMDS. These qualifications make the SI86SL42BC-AS1R suitable for onboard chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverters in battery electric vehicles.
