Product details
Overview
SI86SL42FC-IS1 from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel, low-power digital isolator with reinforced isolation (6000 VRMS), designed for bidirectional signal transfer across high-voltage barriers in automotive and industrial systems. It operates from 2.25 V to 5.5 V per side, delivers ≤10 ns propagation delay, supports up to 150 Mbps data rate, and features selectable fail-safe output (default-low) for power-loss scenarios in battery management and traction inverter control.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SL42FC-IS1 datasheet, SI86SL42FC-IS1 pinout, SI86SL42FC-IS1 application, or SI86SL42FC-IS1 equivalent, this device is evaluated for high-EMI environments requiring AEC-Q100 qualification, precise timing, tri-state outputs with enable, and Schmitt-trigger CMOS inputs - critical for isolated ADC interfaces, onboard chargers, and motor gate driver feedback loops.
Technical Context
The SI86SL42FC-IS1 implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity (≥100 kV/µs CMTI). Its architecture integrates independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset circuitry per side (VDD1/VDD2), with RSTB thresholds at ~1.7 V to preserve configuration during brownout.
This variant belongs to the Si86SLx subfamily optimized for quiescent power reduction - consuming ≈0.25 mA/channel less than Si86S6x counterparts - while retaining identical pinout and functional compatibility. It supports fail-safe default-low operation and includes tri-state enable (EN1/EN2) for synchronized output control across both isolation sides.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | Up to 150 Mbps - enables high-speed SPI, CAN FD, and encoder feedback in real-time motor control. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - ensures tight timing alignment between controller and isolated peripherals in closed-loop systems. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for 800 V battery systems. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V per side - supports direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level-shifting. |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive use and industrial ambient conditions. |
| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt environments like IGBT/SiC gate driver circuits. |
| AEC-Q100 grade | Qualified to Grade 1 - validated for automotive powertrain and charging applications per stress test requirements. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SL42FC-IS1 is housed in a narrow-body SOIC-16 package (NB SOIC-16) with 8.3 mm creepage/clearance, supporting 6000 VRMS isolation. Pin assignments follow the Si86S64x/L4x family layout (Figure 2), with side A (pins 1–8) and side B (pins 9–16) separated by an internal isolation barrier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply | Provides independent 2.25–5.5 V bias for input-side logic; requires local 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypassing. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four unidirectional or bidirectional channels (configurable via external direction logic); CMOS/Schmitt inputs. |
| EN1 | Side A output enable | Active-high control: drives all A-side outputs into high-impedance when low - enables bus sharing and power sequencing. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power supply | Galvanically isolated 2.25–5.5 V supply for output-side circuitry; independent UVLO monitoring. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Isolated mirror of A1–A4; maintains signal integrity across barrier with <3.5 ns pulse width distortion. |
| EN2 | Side B output enable | Synchronized tri-state control for B-side outputs - essential for safe startup/shutdown in safety-critical subsystems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No start-up initialization | RF-modulated architecture eliminates boot delay - outputs become valid within 0.3 ms of VDD stabilization. |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | Default-low output state during VDD1/VDD2 undervoltage - prevents undefined states in BMS fault detection paths. |
| Tri-state outputs with enable | Dual EN1/EN2 pins allow independent high-Z control per side - supports hot-swap capability and multi-master bus arbitration. |
| Schmitt-trigger + CMOS inputs | Hysteresis ≥0.15×VDDx rejects >36 ns noise pulses - suppresses EMI-induced glitches in noisy inverter environments. |
| Low-power optimization | Si86SLx-specific design reduces quiescent current vs. Si86S6x - extends battery life in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
Applications
| Onboard Charger Control | Battery Management System |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8642ED-IS1 | Higher power consumption (≈0.25 mA/channel more), no low-power optimization; same pinout and specs otherwise. | Preferred where timing performance (e.g., <8 ns delay) is prioritized over quiescent current in non-battery systems. | Choose SI8642ED-IS1 only if system-level power budget allows higher IDD and timing margins are tighter than 10 ns. |
| ADUM2402BRWZ | Lower isolation rating (5000 VRMS), no AEC-Q100 qualification, different pinout (SOIC-16 WB), 25 ns propagation delay. | Suitable for industrial automation but not automotive-grade 800 V systems requiring reinforced insulation and automotive qualification. | Select ADUM2402BRWZ only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs where 5000 VRMS and Grade 0 temperature range suffice. |
Compared with SI86SL42FC-IS1, SI8642ED-IS1 trades lower power for marginally better timing, while ADUM2402BRWZ offers broader distributor availability but lacks automotive qualification and 6000 VRMS isolation - making SI86SL42FC-IS1 the optimal choice for AEC-Q100-compliant, high-voltage battery systems.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SL42FC-IS1?
SI86SL42FC-IS1 provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 for 1 minute, certified to IEC 60747-17. This rating is validated for narrow-body SOIC-16 packaging and supports safety-critical applications in 800 V battery electric vehicles and industrial inverters where creepage and clearance must meet stringent regulatory requirements.
Does SI86SL42FC-IS1 require external configuration or initialization at power-up?
No, SI86SL42FC-IS1 uses RF-based on/off keying and requires no firmware, register writes, or startup sequence. Outputs become valid within 0.3 ms after VDD exceeds UVLO+ (2.18 V typical), with built-in 100 kΩ pulldown during undervoltage - ensuring deterministic behavior in safety-critical automotive subsystems without software dependency.
How does the fail-safe mode operate in SI86SL42FC-IS1?
SI86SL42FC-IS1 is ordered with default-low fail-safe mode: when either VDD1 or VDD2 drops below UVLO– (2.05 V typical), outputs on the powered side default to logic low. This prevents undefined states in BMS fault signaling and gate driver disable paths, aligning with ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirements for controlled shutdown behavior.
What is the maximum data rate supported by SI86SL42FC-IS1?
SI86SL42FC-IS1 supports up to 150 Mbps per channel, verified across –40 °C to +125 °C with 5.0 V supply. This enables high-speed isolated communication for SPI, digital encoder interfaces, and fast ADC/DAC links - critical for real-time torque control loops in electric powertrains where latency must remain below 100 ns.
Is SI86SL42FC-IS1 pin-compatible with other Si86S64x/L4x devices?
Yes, SI86SL42FC-IS1 shares identical NB SOIC-16 pinout and electrical interface with Si86S64x/L4x family members (e.g., SI8642ED-IS1), including VDD1/GND1/A1–A4/EN1 on side A and VDD2/GND2/B1–B4/EN2 on side B. This allows drop-in replacement where low-power operation is prioritized over marginal timing gains.
