Product details
Overview
SI86SL42HC-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 isolated signal paths, operates across 2.25–5.5 V supplies, and supports fail-safe default-high output mode in unpowered conditions - used in battery management systems and traction inverter control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SL42HC-IS1 datasheet, SI86SL42HC-IS1 pinout, SI86SL42HC-IS1 application, or SI86SL42HC-IS1 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including propagation delay (10 ns), CMTI (>100 kV/µs), sleep-mode current (750 µA/side), IEC 60747-17 compliance, and SOIC-16 wide-body package compatibility - all confirmed for the exact SI86SL42HC-IS1 ordering part number.
Technical Context
The SI86SL42HC-IS1 implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. Its architecture integrates Schmitt-trigger inputs with CMOS thresholds and supports tri-state outputs via EN1/EN2 pins.
This device belongs to the Si86SLx subfamily optimized for low quiescent power (0.25 mA/channel less than Si86S6x), with fixed low-power tuning - not user-selectable - and no performance trade-off in CMTI or timing specs. It uses the same pinout as Si86S642 but with reduced IDD and relaxed timing margins per datasheet Section 3.4.1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed CAN FD, SPI, and isolated ADC interface clocking without oversampling. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for 800 V battery systems. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables tight timing control in motor gate driver feedback loops and real-time BMS cell monitoring. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive use per AEC-Q100 Grade 1. |
| CMTI | >100 kV/µs - prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt environments like IGBT switching nodes. |
| Fail-safe mode | Default high-output - ensures safe logic state during VDD1 loss in critical control paths (e.g., enable signals). |
Pinout & Package
SI86SL42HC-IS1 is housed in a WB SOIC-16 (wide-body SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance ≥8.3 mm, supporting 6000 VRMS 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 supply | Power and ground for input-side logic (e.g., MCU GPIO); bypass requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF capacitors. |
| A1–A4 | Side A I/O | Four digital inputs/outputs on main side; support Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds for noise immunity. |
| EN1 | Side A enable | Active-high control for tri-stating all A-side outputs - used for bus arbitration or power sequencing. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B supply | Independent isolated power domain for peripheral side (e.g., gate driver IC or sensor interface). |
| B1–B4 | Side B I/O | Four isolated digital I/Os; B1/B2 are forward channels (A→B), B3/B4 are reverse channels (B→A). |
| EN2 | Side B enable | Active-high control for tri-stating all B-side outputs - enables bidirectional isolated bus control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sleep mode via SMb pin | Reduces total current to 750 µA/side while retaining one active channel to monitor SMb state for wake-up. |
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating | Validates suitability for functional safety applications up to ASIL-D in automotive BMS and traction inverters. |
| Selectable fail-safe output | Factory-configured default-high behavior ensures defined logic state during VDD1 brownout in safety-critical paths. |
| No start-up initialization | Immediate signal transmission after UVLO exit (tSTART = 0.3 ms), eliminating boot-time delays in real-time control. |
| High electromagnetic immunity | 100 kV/µs CMTI withstand prevents misoperation near high-current switching nodes in EV power stages. |
Applications
| Battery Management System (BMS) | Traction Inverter Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI86S642HC-IS1 | Higher quiescent current (≈2.8 mA/side vs. 2.1 mA), no sleep mode, identical pinout and timing specs except 12 ns max propagation delay. | Better suited for non-battery-constrained industrial inverters where lowest power is not critical. | Choose SI86S642HC-IS1 if system does not require sleep mode and needs marginally tighter timing specs at full speed. |
| ADUM4402ARWZ | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, 2.7–5.5 V supply; no AEC-Q100 qualification; different pinout (SOIC-16 narrow body). | Limited to industrial automation or medical equipment where automotive qualification is unnecessary. | Choose ADUM4402ARWZ only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring legacy ADI footprint compatibility. |
Compared with SI86S642HC-IS1 and ADUM4402ARWZ, the SI86SL42HC-IS1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation, and integrated sleep mode - making it the only drop-in solution for next-generation EV battery and inverter control where power, safety, and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SL42HC-IS1 and which safety standards does it meet?
The SI86SL42HC-IS1 provides 6000 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577 and is certified to IEC 60747-17 (reinforced insulation), CSA 62368-1/60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1. These ratings validate its use in 800 V battery systems and medical isolation barriers where reinforced insulation is mandated. SI86SL42HC-IS1 achieves this in a WB SOIC-16 package with ≥8.3 mm creepage.
Does SI86SL42HC-IS1 support fail-safe operation, and how is it configured?
Yes, SI86SL42HC-IS1 is factory-configured for default-high fail-safe output during VDD1 loss while VDD2 remains powered - confirmed in Table 4 of the datasheet. This behavior ensures active-high enable or fault-clear signals remain asserted during MCU supply interruption. SI86SL42HC-IS1 does not support field-selectable fail-safe mode; configuration is fixed at manufacture.
What is the purpose of the SMb pin on SI86SL42HC-IS1, and how does it affect power consumption?
The SMb (Sleep Mode) pin on SI86SL42HC-IS1 is an active-low input that reduces total device current to 750 µA per side when asserted. Unlike EN1/EN2, SMb disables internal circuitry while maintaining one always-on channel to detect wake-up. SI86SL42HC-IS1 enters this state within 1 µs and exits in ≤0.3 ms - enabling rapid response in battery-powered automotive subsystems.
How does SI86SL42HC-IS1 differ from the standard Si86S642 in terms of power and performance?
SI86SL42HC-IS1 consumes ≈0.25 mA less per channel in quiescent operation versus Si86S642HC-IS1, with identical pinout and isolation specs. However, its low-power architecture results in slightly relaxed timing: max propagation delay is 12 ns (vs. 10 ns typ for Si86S642), and pulse width distortion increases to 4.5 ns (vs. 3.5 ns typ). SI86SL42HC-IS1 maintains full 150 Mbps data rate and CMTI >100 kV/µs.
Is SI86SL42HC-IS1 compatible with SPI or QSPI interfaces, and what channel directionality does it support?
SI86SL42HC-IS1 is a general-purpose 4-channel isolator with fixed directionality: channels A1→B1 and A2→B2 are forward, A3←B3 and A4←B4 are reverse. It is not a dedicated SPI/QSPI isolator like Si86SS41 or Si86SQ44. For SPI, external logic must manage chip select and clock routing; SI86SL42HC-IS1 provides the isolated physical layer only - not protocol-aware functionality.
