Product details
Overview
SI86SM40EC-IS1 from Skyworks Solutions is a four-channel, reinforced digital isolator with sleep mode control (SMb pin), 6000 VRMS isolation rating, 150 Mbps data rate, and –40 to 125 °C operating temperature range. It provides bidirectional signal isolation across an RF-based semiconductor barrier for industrial motor control, battery management systems, and isolated ADC interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM40EC-IS1 datasheet, SI86SM40EC-IS1 pinout, SI86SM40EC-IS1 application, or SI86SM40EC-IS1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, fail-safe output behavior, sleep-mode power savings, and automotive-grade safety certifications including AEC-Q100 and IEC 60747-17.
Technical Context
The SI86SM40EC-IS1 implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a monolithic semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing. Its architecture supports independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset monitoring on both sides (VDD1/VDD2), with RSTB thresholds at ~1.7 V and UVLO+ at 2.18 V.
Sleep mode is activated via the SMb pin (active-low), reducing quiescent current to 750 µA per side while maintaining one always-on channel to monitor SMb state. The device features Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs, tri-state outputs with enable, and selectable fail-safe default output (low in this ordering option).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2400ARWZ | 4-channel, 25 Mbps, 2.5 kVRMS, no sleep mode, SOIC-16 (narrow body) | Limited to lower-speed industrial I/O; lacks AEC-Q100 and reinforced 6 kVRMS rating | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed, safety, or automotive qualification needs. |
| ISO7741FDWR | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5 kVRMS, no SMb pin, SOIC-16 (wide body) | Missing sleep mode and fail-safe low-default; rated for 5 kVRMS only (IEC 60747-17 not claimed) | Choose for non-automotive industrial use where 5 kVRMS suffices and sleep mode is unnecessary. |
Compared with ADUM2400ARWZ and ISO7741FDWR, SI86SM40EC-IS1 delivers higher data rate (150 Mbps), full reinforced 6000 VRMS certification, AEC-Q100 qualification, and integrated sleep mode - making it uniquely suited for next-generation automotive BMS and high-performance industrial inverters requiring both safety and power efficiency.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SM40EC-IS1?
SI86SM40EC-IS1 is rated for 6000 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577 and carries reinforced insulation certification per IEC 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, and VDE 60747-17. This rating applies to its WB SOIC-16 package and enables use in high-voltage industrial and automotive applications where creepage and clearance must meet stringent safety standards.
Does SI86SM40EC-IS1 support fail-safe output behavior?
Yes, SI86SM40EC-IS1 is configured as a default-low fail-safe option. When VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, outputs B1–B4 remain in a defined logic-low state - preventing unintended activation of downstream drivers or controllers in safety-critical systems like battery disconnect units or inverter gate drivers.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SM40EC-IS1?
The SMb pin in SI86SM40EC-IS1 is an active-low sleep mode control. When pulled low, it disables all transmitter circuits except one dedicated RF channel that continuously monitors SMb state. This reduces total quiescent current to 750 µA per side while allowing immediate wake-up upon SMb release or high transition - ideal for low-duty-cycle BMS monitoring.
What are the supply voltage requirements for SI86SM40EC-IS1?
SI86SM40EC-IS1 operates across a wide supply range of 2.25 V to 5.5 V on both VDD1 and VDD2 sides, supporting interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripherals. Each side requires local 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF bulk bypass capacitors placed adjacent to the pins to ensure stable high-speed operation and noise immunity.
Is SI86SM40EC-IS1 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SI86SM40EC-IS1 is AEC-Q100 qualified and built using automotive-specific manufacturing flows. It supports AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS/CAMDS reporting, and operates across –40 to 125 °C ambient temperature - making it suitable for onboard chargers, traction inverters, and battery management systems in hybrid and battery electric vehicles.
