Product details
Overview
SI86SL42BC-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 two forward and two reverse signal paths across an RF-based semiconductor isolation barrier, operates from 2.25–5.5 V on both sides, and supports fail-safe default-high or default-low output states during power loss - used in battery management systems and traction inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SL42BC-IS1 datasheet, SI86SL42BC-IS1 pinout, SI86SL42BC-IS1 application, or SI86SL42BC-IS1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 ns typical propagation delay, 3.5 ns pulse width distortion, 100 kV/µs CMTI, sleep mode control via SMb pin, and WB SOIC-16 package with 8.3 mm creepage for reinforced insulation compliance.
Technical Context
The SI86SL42BC-IS1 implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a monolithic semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical or magnetic coupling. Its architecture integrates Schmitt-trigger inputs with CMOS thresholds and supports tri-state outputs via EN1/EN2 enable pins.
This device belongs to the Si86SLx subfamily optimized for low quiescent current (0.25 mA/channel less than Si86S6x), with sleep mode activated by the SMb pin - pulling SMb low reduces supply current to 750 µA per side while retaining one active channel to monitor SMb state for wake-up.
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. |
| Isolation Rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577, VDE 60747-17, and IEC 62368-1. |

| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in high dv/dt environments like power inverters and onboard chargers. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Operating Temp | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive use and industrial automation ambient conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SL42BC-IS1 is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with 8.3 mm creepage and 10.3 mm clearance, supporting 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation. Pin numbering follows standard SOIC-16 layout with isolation barrier between Side A (pins 1–8) and Side B (pins 9–16).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply | Provides bias for input-side transmitters and logic; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four bidirectional channels: A1/A2 forward, A3/A4 reverse - configurable direction per channel group. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low input that disables all transmitters except one monitoring channel; enables ultra-low-power standby. |
| GND2, VDD2 | Side B power supply | Independent supply domain for output-side receivers and drivers; galvanically isolated from Side A. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Corresponding isolated outputs/inputs: B1/B2 mirror A1/A2 (forward), B3/B4 mirror A3/A4 (reverse). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation | Eliminates LED aging and transformer saturation issues; achieves stable performance over temperature and lifetime. |
| Fail-safe output mode | Selectable at order time (BC = default high); ensures known logic state during VDD1/VDD2 brownout or loss. |
| Schmitt-trigger inputs | Provides 0.15 × VDDx hysteresis - rejects noise on long PCB traces or noisy industrial bus lines. |
| Tri-state output control | EN1/EN2 pins disable all outputs on respective sides - enables bus sharing and hot-swap compatibility. |
| Low-power sleep mode | 750 µA per side quiescent current when SMb = low - extends battery life in always-on automotive subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM140D0BRIZ | 4-channel, 150 Mbps, 3750 VRMS, 2.7–5.5 V supply, no sleep mode, SOIC-16 NB package. | Lacks reinforced 6000 VRMS rating and automotive qualification; suitable for non-safety-critical industrial use only. | Choose ADUM140D0BRIZ where lower isolation voltage suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs AEC-Q100 requirement. |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SL42BC-IS1 and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86SL42BC-IS1 provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577, and is certified to VDE 60747-17, IEC 62368-1, and IEC 60601-1 for medical-grade isolation. It achieves this in a WB SOIC-16 package with 8.3 mm creepage, making SI86SL42BC-IS1 suitable for high-voltage battery systems and medical power supplies where reinforced insulation is mandated.
Does SI86SL42BC-IS1 support fail-safe output behavior during power loss?
Yes, SI86SL42BC-IS1 offers factory-selectable fail-safe modes: the "BC" suffix indicates default-high output state when either VDD1 or VDD2 is unpowered. This behavior is implemented via internal circuitry that holds outputs at logic high during undervoltage lockout, ensuring predictable system response in SI86SL42BC-IS1-based BMS and inverter designs.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SL42BC-IS1, and what power savings does it provide?
The SMb pin in SI86SL42BC-IS1 is an active-low sleep mode control that reduces total supply current to 750 µA per side when asserted. Unlike simple enable pins, SMb shuts down all transmitter circuits except one dedicated channel that continuously monitors SMb state - allowing immediate wake-up when SMb is released. This makes SI86SL42BC-IS1 ideal for intermittent-operation automotive subsystems.
What is the propagation delay and pulse width distortion specification for SI86SL42BC-IS1?
SI86SL42BC-IS1 has a typical propagation delay of 10 ns and pulse width distortion of 3.5 ns, measured at 5 V supply and 25 °C. These values remain stable across –40 to +125 °C and support precise timing alignment in PWM gate drive, encoder feedback, and high-speed serial protocols - critical parameters verified in SI86SL42BC-IS1's automotive-grade characterization.
Is SI86SL42BC-IS1 compatible with standard SOIC-16 footprints, and what package variant does it use?
SI86SL42BC-IS1 uses the wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with 10.3 mm minimum clearance and 8.3 mm creepage, differing from standard NB SOIC-16. While pin-compatible with other Si86Sx devices in the same family, it requires PCB layout adjustment for the wider body to meet reinforced insulation spacing requirements - a key design consideration for SI86SL42BC-IS1 integration.
