Product details
Overview
SI86SM41EC-AS1R from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel, reinforced-isolation digital isolator with sleep mode control (SMb pin), supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate, 10 ns typical propagation delay, and 6000 VRMS isolation rating in a WB SOIC-16 package. It operates across 2.25–5.5 V supply range and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM41EC-AS1R datasheet, SI86SM41EC-AS1R pinout, SI86SM41EC-AS1R application, or SI86SM41EC-AS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-low sleep mode control, fail-safe default output configuration, reinforced IEC 60747-17 certification, and compatibility with isolated SPI peripheral interfaces in high-noise traction inverter gate drive circuits.
Technical Context
The SI86SM41EC-AS1R implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing. Its architecture includes four unidirectional channels (A1–A4 → B1–B4), dedicated SMb input for global sleep control, and Schmitt-trigger CMOS inputs with 0.15×VDD hysteresis.
It supports independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides (VDDUV+ = 2.10–2.25 V), integrated 100 kΩ weak pulldown during unpowered states, and failsafe output behavior configurable at ordering-this specific variant defaults low when VDD2 is powered but VDD1 is unpowered.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links including isolated SPI clock domains. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typical - enables tight timing budgets in motor control PWM feedback loops. |
| Isolation Rating | 6000 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for 1-minute withstand. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.25–5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V logic without level shifters. |
| Operating Temp | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments and industrial inverters. |
| Transient Immunity | ≥100 kV/µs - ensures robust operation in high-dV/dt gate driver applications. |
| Sleep Current | 750 µA per side - reduces system standby power in battery management monitoring circuits. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SM41EC-AS1R is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin 16 is VDD2; GND1 and GND2 are on opposite sides of the isolation barrier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power domain | Supplies and grounds the input-side logic; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| A1–A4 | Input signals (Side A) | Digital inputs with Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds; tolerate 0.15×VDD hysteresis for noise immunity. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low input; drives device into 750 µA/side sleep state while retaining wake-up capability via this pin. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power domain | Isolated output-side supply; independent UVLO and reset circuitry ensure safe startup sequencing. |
| B1–B4 | Output signals (Side B) | CMOS outputs with ~50 Ω impedance; support controlled-impedance PCB routing for >50 Mbps signals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-startup initialization | RF-modulated channel architecture eliminates boot-time delays or configuration sequences. |
| Reinforced safety certification | UL 1577, VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, CQC GB4943.1 - enables single-component compliance for medical and EV systems. |
| Selectable fail-safe output | Default-low behavior during VDD1 loss ensures safe shutdown of downstream gate drivers or ADC references. |
| High CMTI immunity | ≥100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity - prevents data corruption in high-dV/dt inverter half-bridges. |
| Sleep mode with wake-on-SMb | SMb pin controls full device sleep while retaining one always-active channel to detect wake events without external circuitry. |
Applications
| Isolated Battery Monitoring | Automotive Traction Inverter Gate Drive |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time cell voltage and temperature sampling in 400–800 V EV battery packs using isolated ADCs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI86SM40EC-AS1R | No SMb pin; fixed operation without sleep mode control. | Lacks low-power standby capability; unsuitable for battery-powered monitoring nodes. | Select SI86SM40EC-AS1R only if continuous operation is required and sleep functionality is unnecessary. |
| ADUM3481BRNZ | 4-channel, 25 Mbps max data rate; no AEC-Q100 qualification; 2.5 kVRMS isolation. | Not rated for automotive traction systems; limited to industrial automation where lower speed and isolation suffice. | Choose ADUM3481BRNZ for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications requiring basic isolation without high-speed or reinforced safety. |
Compared with SI86SM41EC-AS1R, SI86SM40EC-AS1R omits sleep control but shares identical timing and isolation specs, while ADUM3481BRNZ trades speed, safety rating, and automotive qualification for lower unit cost in less demanding environments.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI86SM41EC-AS1R?
The SI86SM41EC-AS1R provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 for 1 minute, certified to IEC 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1. This rating applies to the WB SOIC-16 package and enables use in high-voltage automotive and industrial systems where reinforced insulation is mandated.
Does the SI86SM41EC-AS1R require startup initialization or configuration?
No, the SI86SM41EC-AS1R uses an RF-modulated isolation architecture that requires no startup initialization or register configuration. It begins transmitting valid data immediately upon VDD stabilization, with deterministic timing behavior governed solely by input transitions and supply conditions.
How does the SMb pin function in the SI86SM41EC-AS1R?
The SMb pin is an active-low input that places the SI86SM41EC-AS1R into a low-power sleep state drawing 750 µA per side. While asleep, one internal channel remains active to monitor SMb; driving SMb high (or leaving it open) wakes the device fully within microseconds, restoring all channel operation without reinitialization.
What is the default output state of the SI86SM41EC-AS1R during power loss on Side A?
The SI86SM41EC-AS1R is configured as a default-low variant: when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, all B1–B4 outputs are driven low. This fail-safe behavior ensures safe shutdown of downstream components such as gate drivers or reference buffers during controller-side power faults.
Can the SI86SM41EC-AS1R be used in SPI isolation applications?
Yes, the SI86SM41EC-AS1R supports isolated SPI communication through its four unidirectional channels. It is commonly deployed to isolate MOSI, MISO, SCLK, and CS signals between MCU and peripheral devices, especially in automotive BMS where high CMTI and AEC-Q100 compliance are mandatory.
