Product details
Overview
SI86SM40EE-IS2R 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 battery management systems and isolated power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM40EE-IS2R datasheet, SI86SM40EE-IS2R pinout, SI86SM40EE-IS2R application, or SI86SM40EE-IS2R equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, fail-safe output behavior, sleep-mode current draw (750 µA per side), and automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification - all critical for high-reliability isolated signal transmission in traction inverters and onboard chargers.
Technical Context
The SI86SM40EE-IS2R implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing with 10 ns typical propagation delay and 3.5 ns pulse width distortion. It supports independent dual-supply operation (2.25–5.5 V per side) with side-specific UVLO and reset thresholds (RSTB± ~1.7 V).
Sleep mode is controlled via the active-low SMb pin: when asserted low, it places both sides into ultra-low-power state (750 µA per side) while retaining one always-on channel to monitor SMb status and enable wake-up. Outputs enter tri-state during sleep, and default output state (high/low) is fixed per ordering option - SI86SM40EE-IS2R is configured for default-low behavior during unpowered conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links including isolated SPI and QSPI interfaces without protocol translation. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min, UL 1577) - enables use in reinforced insulation applications such as battery electric vehicle (BEV) traction inverters and onboard chargers. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - ensures tight timing alignment between isolated control signals in motor gate drivers and ADC sampling clocks. |
| Sleep current | 750 µA per side - reduces system standby power in battery management systems during idle cycles without sacrificing wake-up responsiveness. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to 125 °C - meets automotive under-hood and industrial automation ambient requirements without derating. |
| Fail-safe output | Default-low configuration - guarantees known logic state at B-side outputs when A-side supply fails, critical for safe shutdown in power converters. |
| CMTI | 100 kV/µs minimum - maintains signal integrity in high-dV/dt environments like SiC/GaN-based inverters and isolated switch-mode supplies. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SM40EE-IS2R is housed in a WB SOIC-16 package (wide-body, 10.3 mm creepage/clearance), supporting 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577. Pin functions are validated per Figure 3 and Table 1 of Skyworks datasheet 206553B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power supply | Provides bias for A-side I/Os (A1–A4); requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypassing per side for noise immunity. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital inputs/outputs | Four unidirectional channels from Side A to Side B; Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs ensure robust noise rejection. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low input that disables all transmitters and places outputs in tri-state; internal pull-up keeps device active if left floating. |
| Isolation Barrier | Die-level insulation | Semiconductor-based barrier certified to IEC 60747-17 and UL 1577; no optocoupler aging or LED degradation. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital outputs | Four isolated outputs referenced to VDD2/GND2; default-low behavior activated when VDD1 is unpowered (≤2.25 V). |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power supply | Independent supply domain enables galvanic separation between controller and power stage grounds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates startup initialization delay and avoids LED/optocoupler wear-out; enables immediate data transmission after power stabilization. |
| Sleep mode with wake-up capability | Reduces quiescent current to 750 µA per side while retaining one always-active channel to detect SMb transition and restore full operation within microseconds. |
| Reinforced safety certification | UL 1577 (6000 VRMS), VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1/60601-1 - satisfies end-equipment requirements for medical electronics and EV battery systems. |
| Tri-state output enable | SMb pin directly controls output driver state - allows seamless integration into shared-bus architectures without external bus buffers. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Validated for automotive applications up to 125 °C ambient; manufactured using automotive-specific process flows for zero-defect reliability in BEV and HEV systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI86SM41EE-IS2R | Same pinout and package; differs only in fail-safe output state (default-high vs. default-low). | Used where isolated outputs must assert logic high during A-side power loss (e.g., enable signals for safety relays). | Select SI86SM41EE-IS2R only when default-high behavior is required; otherwise SI86SM40EE-IS2R provides correct fail-safe state for shutdown-critical paths. |
| ADUM3481ARWZ | 4-channel, 25 Mbps max data rate, 3750 VRMS isolation, no sleep mode, 2.7–5.5 V supply range. | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial I/O modules but lacks automotive qualification and high-speed capability for EV traction control. | Choose ADUM3481ARWZ only for non-automotive, lower-speed applications where 150 Mbps and AEC-Q100 are not required. |
Compared with SI86SM41EE-IS2R, SI86SM40EE-IS2R provides guaranteed low-state outputs during input-side undervoltage - essential for fail-safe power converter shutdown. Versus ADUM3481ARWZ, it delivers 6× higher data rate, 60% higher isolation voltage, integrated sleep mode, and automotive qualification - making it suitable for next-generation BEV and industrial servo drives.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SM40EE-IS2R and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86SM40EE-IS2R has a 6000 VRMS isolation rating per UL 1577 (1 minute test) and is certified to IEC 60747-17 (reinforced insulation), CSA 62368-1 and 60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1. These approvals validate its use in medical electronics and automotive battery systems where reinforced insulation is mandated for operator and system safety.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SM40EE-IS2R, and what is its impact on power consumption?
The SMb pin is an active-low sleep mode control input. When driven low, SI86SM40EE-IS2R enters ultra-low-power sleep mode drawing just 750 µA per side while maintaining one always-on channel to monitor SMb. This enables rapid wake-up and eliminates the need for external power gating circuitry in battery-powered BMS nodes.
Does SI86SM40EE-IS2R require startup initialization or configuration before operation?
No. SI86SM40EE-IS2R uses RF-based on/off keying and requires no startup initialization, firmware loading, or configuration registers. It begins transmitting valid data immediately after VDD1 and VDD2 exceed their UVLO thresholds (~2.18 V), with outputs transitioning to the default-low state within 0.3 ms of power stabilization.
What is the default output behavior of SI86SM40EE-IS2R when the A-side supply fails?
SI86SM40EE-IS2R is ordered with default-low fail-safe mode. When VDD1 drops below 2.25 V (unpowered state), B-side outputs (B1–B4) are forced low regardless of input states - a critical feature for ensuring safe shutdown in isolated gate drivers and power converter feedback loops.
Can SI86SM40EE-IS2R be used in systems requiring AEC-Q100 qualification?
Yes. SI86SM40EE-IS2R is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (–40 to +125 °C), manufactured using automotive-specific process flows, and supported with AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation. It is approved for use in onboard chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverters in battery electric and hybrid electric vehicles.
