Product details
Overview
SI86SM40EC-IS1R 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. It provides bidirectional signal isolation between microcontroller peripherals and high-voltage motor control subsystems in battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM40EC-IS1R datasheet, SI86SM40EC-IS1R pinout, SI86SM40EC-IS1R application, or SI86SM40EC-IS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10 ns typical propagation delay, 3.5 ns pulse width distortion, fail-safe default-low output option, and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification for traction inverter gate drive interfaces.
Technical Context
The SI86SM40EC-IS1R implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity up to 100 kV/µs. Its architecture supports independent side-A and side-B undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with RSTB reset thresholds at ~1.7 V and 0.3 ms start-up time.
Sleep mode is controlled via the active-low SMb pin, which places both sides into low-power state (750 µA per side) while retaining one always-on channel to monitor SMb status. The device features Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs, tri-state outputs with enable, and selectable fail-safe output polarity during power loss.
Key Specifications

| Operating temperature | –40 to 125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive use and industrial automation environments with wide thermal swings. |
| Transient immunity | ≥100 kV/µs - ensures reliable operation in high-noise motor drive and power inverter applications with fast switching transients. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SM40EC-IS1R is housed in a WB SOIC-16 (wide-body small-outline integrated circuit) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS working voltage. The package complies with RoHS and supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and reflow soldering per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply and ground | Provides isolated power domain for controller-side logic (e.g., MCU GPIO, SPI master); requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four unidirectional input channels from controller side; compatible with CMOS/Schmitt-trigger logic levels. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control (active low) | Drives device into 750 µA/side sleep state; retains wake-up capability via dedicated always-on monitoring channel. |
| Isolation Barrier | Internal RF-coupled dielectric barrier | Provides galvanic isolation; no optocoupler aging or LED degradation; supports 6000 VRMS withstand for 1 minute per UL 1577. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four corresponding isolated output channels to high-voltage side (e.g., gate drivers, sensor front-ends). |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power supply and ground | Independent power domain for isolated side; supports separate 3.3 V or 5 V rail; decoupling required per side. |
| NC | No connect | Pin 9 is internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2400ARWZ | 4-channel, 25 Mbps, 2500 VRMS, SOIC-16, no sleep mode, 15 ns propagation delay | Limited to lower-speed industrial I/O; lacks AEC-Q100 and 6000 VRMS for automotive traction systems | Choose ADUM2400ARWZ only for cost-sensitive non-automotive applications where 25 Mbps suffices and sleep mode is unnecessary. |
| ISO6741QDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, SOIC-16, no sleep mode, 16 ns propagation delay, automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Lower speed and isolation rating than SI86SM40EC-IS1R; no SMb pin for ultra-low-power monitoring states | ISO6741QDWR fits auxiliary control paths in EV systems but cannot replace SI86SM40EC-IS1R in primary gate drive or high-speed BMS monitoring roles. |
Compared with ADUM2400ARWZ and ISO6741QDWR, SI86SM40EC-IS1R delivers 6× higher data rate, 20% lower propagation delay, 20% higher isolation rating, and unique sleep-mode power optimization-making it the only qualified option for timing-critical, high-voltage, low-quiescent automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SM40EC-IS1R and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86SM40EC-IS1R provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 for 1 minute, and is certified to VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1/60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1. These ratings validate its use in high-voltage automotive and industrial systems where functional safety and creepage/clearance compliance are mandatory. The wide-body SOIC-16 package enables this rating physically and electrically.
Does SI86SM40EC-IS1R support fail-safe operation, and how is it configured?
Yes, SI86SM40EC-IS1R supports configurable fail-safe output behavior. Its "EC" suffix indicates default-low output during side-A power loss while side-B remains powered. This is implemented via internal logic that pulls B1–B4 low when VDD1 falls below UVLO– (1.98 V), ensuring safe shutdown of downstream gate drivers or contactors without external circuitry.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SM40EC-IS1R, and what is its power impact?
The SMb pin in SI86SM40EC-IS1R is an active-low sleep mode control input. When driven low, it reduces total device current to 750 µA per side (1.5 mA total), while retaining one always-on channel to detect SMb transition back to high. This enables ultra-low-power monitoring in battery management systems without sacrificing wake-up responsiveness or timing performance.
What is the maximum data rate and propagation delay specification for SI86SM40EC-IS1R?
SI86SM40EC-IS1R supports up to 150 Mbps data rate with a typical propagation delay of 10 ns and maximum of 13 ns over temperature and voltage. This enables precise timing in high-frequency applications such as isolated SPI for ADCs, encoder interfaces, and gate driver command transmission in 800 V EV inverters.
Is SI86SM40EC-IS1R qualified for automotive applications, and what does its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating mean?
Yes, SI86SM40EC-IS1R is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, meaning it is tested and certified for operation from –40 to 125 °C ambient temperature with full reliability screening including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD. This qualifies it for under-hood automotive use in battery management systems, onboard chargers, and traction inverters where environmental robustness is critical.
