Product details
Overview
SI86SL42EC-IS1R 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 WB SOIC-16 package. It serves as a robust signal-level isolator in battery management systems and traction inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SL42EC-IS1R datasheet, SI86SL42EC-IS1R pinout, SI86SL42EC-IS1R application, or SI86SL42EC-IS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation (IEC 60747-17), fail-safe default-high/low output option, sleep mode control via SMb pin, and compatibility with isolated SPI and bidirectional bus architectures.
Technical Context
The SI86SL42EC-IS1R implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing behavior. Its architecture supports independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset circuitry per side (VDD1/VDD2), with RSTB thresholds at ~1.7 V and UVLO hysteresis of 105–160 mV.
This device belongs to the Si86SLx subfamily optimized for reduced quiescent current-0.25 mA per channel lower than Si86S6x variants-without altering pinout. It integrates sleep mode via active-low SMb pin, which disables all transmitters except one monitoring channel, achieving ≤750 µA per side in sleep state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces including QSPI and isolated UART without protocol translation. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min, UL 1577) - enables use in reinforced insulation applications such as onboard chargers and motor drives. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - ensures tight timing alignment between isolated domains in real-time control loops. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25 to 5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to 125 °C - meets automotive under-hood and industrial ambient requirements without derating. |
| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - rejects fast transient noise common in high-di/dt power converter environments. |
| Fail-safe mode | Selectable default-high or default-low output during unpowered input - prevents undefined states in safety-critical BMS fault handling. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SL42EC-IS1R is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance compliant for 6000 VRMS working voltage. Pinout follows the Si86SM42 configuration: Side A (pins 1–8) and Side B (pins 9–16) are separated by an internal semiconductor isolation barrier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply | Provides independent 2.25–5.5 V bias for transmitter-side logic; requires local 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypassing. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four bidirectional or direction-configurable channels; compatible with CMOS/Schmitt-trigger logic levels. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low input that places device into ultra-low-power state (≤750 µA/side); retains isolation barrier monitoring capability. |
| GND2, VDD2 | Side B power supply | Galvanically isolated power domain for receiver-side outputs; supports independent voltage rail sequencing. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Isolated mirror of A1–A4; maintains signal integrity across barrier with <3.5 ns pulse width distortion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift issues of optocouplers; enables stable 150 Mbps operation over full temperature range. |
| Tri-state outputs with EN | Allows shared-bus topologies (e.g., isolated CAN or RS-485) by enabling/disabling outputs without breaking isolation integrity. |
| Schmitt-trigger + CMOS inputs | Provides ≥0.15 × VDD input hysteresis, rejecting noise spikes up to 36 ns duration without external filtering. |
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating | Validates suitability for medical (60601-1) and industrial (62368-1) safety-critical systems requiring dual protection barriers. |
| Automotive-grade flow | Manufactured using automotive-specific process controls, PPAP documentation support, and IMDS/CAMDS compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8642ED-IS1R | Higher quiescent current (≈0.25 mA/channel more), no SMb sleep pin, same pinout and 6000 VRMS rating. | Lacks sleep mode; suitable where continuous operation is required and power budget allows. | Choose when lowest possible design risk is prioritized over ultra-low-power sleep capability. |
| ADUM2402BRWZ | 4-channel, 25 Mbps max data rate, 5000 VRMS isolation, SOIC-16, no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Not qualified for automotive; limited to industrial/medical applications below 5 kVRMS requirement. | Consider only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 150 Mbps and 6 kVRMS are not mandatory. |
Compared with SI86SL42EC-IS1R, SI8642ED-IS1R offers identical packaging and isolation but higher static power consumption, while ADUM2402BRWZ trades speed, isolation rating, and automotive qualification for broader distributor availability and legacy design familiarity.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI86SL42EC-IS1R?
The SI86SL42EC-IS1R is rated for 6000 VRMS isolation per UL 1577 for 1 minute, with reinforced insulation certified to IEC 60747-17. This rating applies to the WB SOIC-16 package and supports applications requiring high working voltage, such as EV battery packs and industrial motor drives. The device maintains this rating across its full operating temperature range of –40 to 125 °C.
Does the SI86SL42EC-IS1R support fail-safe output configuration?
Yes, the SI86SL42EC-IS1R offers a selectable fail-safe mode via ordering option: default-high or default-low output state when the input-side supply (VDD1) is unpowered but the output-side supply (VDD2) remains active. This behavior is defined in Table 4 of the datasheet and ensures predictable logic states during power sequencing faults in safety-critical systems like BMS.
How does the SMb pin function on the SI86SL42EC-IS1R?
The SMb pin on the SI86SL42EC-IS1R is an active-low sleep mode control input. When pulled low, it disables all transmitter circuits except one dedicated monitoring channel, reducing total supply current to ≤750 µA per side. When released (high or open), the device resumes full operation. This feature enables dynamic power management in intermittently active systems such as vehicle wake-up communication links.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SI86SL42EC-IS1R?
The SI86SL42EC-IS1R supports data rates from DC up to 150 Mbps, verified across the full –40 to 125 °C temperature range and 2.25–5.5 V supply range. This enables use in high-speed isolated interfaces including QSPI, isolated USB signaling, and real-time control bus extensions without protocol conversion or bandwidth throttling.
Is the SI86SL42EC-IS1R qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SI86SL42EC-IS1R is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0, –40 to 125 °C), manufactured using automotive-specific process flows, and supported with AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS, and CAMDS listings. It is explicitly intended for automotive applications including onboard chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverters.
