Product details
Overview
SI86SM40BC-IS1 from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel reinforced digital isolator with sleep mode control (SMb pin), 6000 VRMS isolation rating, 150 Mbps data rate, and operation across –40 to 125 °C for automotive and industrial isolated signal interfaces in battery management systems and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM40BC-IS1 datasheet, SI86SM40BC-IS1 pinout, SI86SM40BC-IS1 application, or SI86SM40BC-IS1 equivalent, this device delivers fail-safe output configuration, Schmitt-trigger inputs with CMOS thresholds, 10 ns typical propagation delay, and tri-state outputs with enable-critical for high-noise, safety-critical isolated communication links.
Technical Context
The SI86SM40BC-IS1 implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. It supports bidirectional channel configuration via side-specific enable pins (EN1/EN2) and global sleep control via SMb.
Its architecture integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO+ = 2.18 V, UVLO– = 2.05 V) and reset circuitry (RSTB– ≈ 1.7 V) per side, ensuring deterministic behavior during power transitions. The device uses internal 50 Ω output impedance drivers and requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors on both VDD1 and VDD2 rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, CAN FD, and real-time control loop signaling. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for >1000 V working voltage systems. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables sub-100 ns round-trip latency in closed-loop feedback paths. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25 to 5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to 125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments. |
| Pulse width distortion | 3.5 ns typical - preserves duty cycle integrity for clock forwarding and PWM isolation. |
| Transient immunity | ≥100 kV/µs - resists fast common-mode transients in motor drive and inverter gate driver circuits. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SM40BC-IS1 is housed in a WB SOIC-16 package (wide-body, 10.3 mm creepage/clearance), supporting 6000 VRMS isolation. Pin functions are validated per Figure 3 (Si86SM4x) and Table 1 of the datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A supply and ground | Power domain for input-side channels (A1–A4); requires local 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypassing. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four unidirectional or bidirectional isolated input channels; Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low pin that places entire device-including isolated side-into 750 µA/side sleep mode; high or open = active. |
| Isolation Barrier | Die-level insulation | Robust semiconductor barrier certified to VDE 60747-17, UL 1577, CSA 62368-1, CQC GB4943.1. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four corresponding isolated output channels; tri-state capable via EN2 control. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B supply and ground | Independent power domain for output-side logic; enables galvanic separation of control and power stages. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Pin 9 is unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or pull-up/down required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sleep mode (SMb) | Reduces total quiescent current to 750 µA per side while retaining wake-on-SMb capability-ideal for intermittent telemetry in BMS. |
| Fail-safe output selection | Ordering option sets default output state (high or low) during VDD1 loss-ensures safe shutdown in traction inverter gate drivers. |
| High CMTI immunity | ≥100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity prevents false triggering in noisy 650 V/1200 V SiC/GaN inverter environments. |
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot-time delays or configuration sequences-enables immediate signal pass-through at power-on. |
| Tri-state outputs with EN2 | EN2 pin disables all B-side outputs simultaneously, allowing bus sharing or hot-swap isolation in modular power systems. |
Applications
| Battery Management System (BMS) | Industrial Motor Drive |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SM40BC-IS1 and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86SM40BC-IS1 provides 6000 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577 and is certified to IEC 60747-17 (reinforced), CSA 62368-1/60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1. Its wide-body SOIC-16 package achieves ≥10.3 mm creepage and clearance, enabling use in 1000 V DC systems like EV battery packs and industrial inverters where reinforced insulation is mandated.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SM40BC-IS1, and what is its impact on power consumption?
The SMb pin in SI86SM40BC-IS1 is an active-low sleep mode control. When pulled low, it reduces total device current to 750 µA per side while keeping one channel active to monitor SMb state. When high or open, SI86SM40BC-IS1 operates normally. This enables dynamic power gating in battery-powered telemetry nodes without sacrificing wake responsiveness.
Does SI86SM40BC-IS1 support fail-safe output configuration, and how is it implemented?
Yes, SI86SM40BC-IS1 offers selectable fail-safe mode via ordering option: default-high or default-low output state when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active. This behavior is defined in Table 4 of the datasheet and ensures predictable shutdown states in safety-critical applications like motor control and BMS-without requiring external pull resistors or logic.
What are the key timing specifications of SI86SM40BC-IS1, and how do they affect system design?
SI86SM40BC-IS1 features 10 ns typical propagation delay and 3.5 ns typical pulse width distortion. These values enable precise timing alignment in closed-loop control systems-such as gate driver signal forwarding-where sub-20 ns channel-to-channel skew and minimal duty cycle distortion are essential to prevent shoot-through or timing violations in SiC/GaN inverters.
Is SI86SM40BC-IS1 qualified for automotive applications, and what evidence supports this?
Yes, SI86SM40BC-IS1 is AEC-Q100 qualified and supported by AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS/CAMDS listings, and automotive-specific manufacturing flows. Its –40 to 125 °C operating range, reinforced isolation, and transient immunity ≥100 kV/µs meet functional safety requirements for onboard chargers, battery management, and traction inverter subsystems in BEV/HEV platforms.
