Product details
Overview
SI86SL42HC-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 isolated 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 SI86SL42HC-IS1R datasheet, SI86SL42HC-IS1R pinout, SI86SL42HC-IS1R application, or SI86SL42HC-IS1R equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, automotive-grade safety certifications (UL 1577, VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1), and real-world use context for isolated SPI, motor control, and high-voltage power conversion interfaces.
Technical Context
The SI86SL42HC-IS1R implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating start-up initialization and enabling robust noise immunity (100 kV/µs CMTI). Its architecture supports independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset on both sides (VDD1/VDD2), with fail-safe output default selectable at order time (high or low).
It integrates sleep mode via SMb pin (active-low), reducing quiescent current to 750 µA per side while retaining one always-on channel for wake-up detection. Unlike standard Si86S6x variants, the "SL" suffix denotes optimized low-power operation-0.25 mA/channel lower quiescent current-with no sacrifice in pin compatibility or isolation rating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces including isolated SPI and QSPI without timing bottlenecks. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for automotive and industrial safety-critical systems. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns (typ) - enables precise timing alignment in closed-loop motor control and fast ADC/DAC isolation paths. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V - allows direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains on both isolated sides without level-shifting. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to 125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications including onboard chargers and battery management units. |
| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - ensures reliable operation in high-dv/dt environments such as IGBT gate drivers and power inverter feedback loops. |
| AEC-Q100 grade | Grade 1 - certified for automotive use with full PPAP documentation support and IMDS/CAMDS compliance. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SL42HC-IS1R is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance ≥8.3 mm, supporting 6000 VRMS working voltage. Pinout matches Si86SL42 family: 4 isolated I/O pairs (A1–A4/B1–B4), dual supply rails (VDD1/GND1 and VDD2/GND2), SMb (sleep mode control), and EN1/EN2 (output enable).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power domain | Supplies and grounds the input-side logic; independent of VDD2/GND2 for true galvanic isolation. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power domain | Supplies and grounds the output-side logic; enables separate 3.3 V/5 V domain interfacing across isolation barrier. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital inputs/outputs | Configurable as inputs or outputs; Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds ensure >300 mV hysteresis against EMI. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital inputs/outputs | Isolated mirror of A1–A4; directionality (forward/reverse) fixed per channel per part number (SL42 = 2F+2R). |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low pin that reduces total device current to 750 µA/side; retains wake-up capability via dedicated always-on RF channel. |
| EN1, EN2 | Output enable (Side A/B) | Tri-states all outputs on respective side; used for bus arbitration and power sequencing in multi-isolator systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot-time delays-outputs become valid immediately after VDD exceeds UVLO+ (2.18 V). |
| Selectable fail-safe output | Ordering option sets default output state (high or low) during VDD loss-critical for safe shutdown in BMS and inverter gate control. |
| Low-power optimization | 0.25 mA/channel lower quiescent current vs. Si86S6x-reduces thermal load in densely packed automotive ECUs without degrading timing. |
| High electromagnetic immunity | 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) prevents data corruption in noisy motor drive and charging environments. |
| Reinforced safety certification | UL 1577, VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1 approvals-enables single-component compliance for end-equipment safety certification. |

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 power consumption (≈0.25 mA/channel more), no SMb pin, same pinout and isolation rating. | Preferred where sleep mode is unnecessary and maximum data integrity at 150 Mbps is prioritized over ultra-low quiescent current. | Choose SI8642ED-IS1R for non-battery-powered industrial systems requiring marginally better jitter performance. |
| ADUM4402BRWZ | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, no AEC-Q100, different pinout (SOIC-16 NB), no SMb or selectable fail-safe. | Used in non-automotive industrial automation where 125 °C operation and reinforced certification are not required. | Choose ADUM4402BRWZ only if legacy design reuse or Analog Devices ecosystem integration outweighs automotive qualification needs. |
Compared with SI86SL42HC-IS1R, SI8642ED-IS1R trades lower quiescent current for slightly higher speed margin, while ADUM4402BRWZ lacks automotive qualification and failsafe configurability-making SI86SL42HC-IS1R the sole choice for ISO 26262-compliant BMS and traction inverter designs.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI86SL42HC-IS1R?
The SI86SL42HC-IS1R is rated for 6000 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577 and certified to IEC 60747-17 for reinforced insulation. This rating applies to the WB SOIC-16 package and is validated for continuous operation in automotive and industrial high-voltage systems up to 800 V DC bus.
Does the SI86SL42HC-IS1R support fail-safe output configuration?
Yes-the SI86SL42HC-IS1R offers ordering options for default high or default low output states during power loss on the input side. This fail-safe behavior is implemented via internal circuitry and requires no external components, making it suitable for safety-critical BMS and inverter gate control applications.
How does the SMb pin function on the SI86SL42HC-IS1R?
The SMb pin on the SI86SL42HC-IS1R is an active-low sleep mode control. When pulled low, it reduces total device current to 750 µA per side while maintaining one always-on RF channel to detect wake-up events. When high or floating, the device operates at full performance with 150 Mbps capability.
Is the SI86SL42HC-IS1R pin-compatible with other Si86S6xx family members?
Yes-the SI86SL42HC-IS1R shares identical WB SOIC-16 pinout and signal mapping with Si86S642, Si86L42, and Si86SL42 variants. The only functional differences are lower quiescent current and inclusion of SMb; no PCB layout change is needed when upgrading from Si86S642 to SI86SL42HC-IS1R.
What safety certifications does the SI86SL42HC-IS1R hold?
The SI86SL42HC-IS1R holds UL 1577 recognition (6000 VRMS), VDE certification to IEC 60747-17 (reinforced), CSA approval to 62368-1 and 60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1. It is also AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, with AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS listings available.
