Product details
Overview
SI86SM41EE-AS2R 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 AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive systems. It provides bidirectional signal isolation across an RF-based semiconductor barrier in battery management systems and traction inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM41EE-AS2R datasheet, SI86SM41EE-AS2R pinout, SI86SM41EE-AS2R application, or SI86SM41EE-AS2R equivalent, this device supports fail-safe default-low output, Schmitt-trigger + CMOS inputs, 10 ns typical propagation delay, and operates from 2.25–5.5 V on both sides - critical for high-noise motor control and isolated ADC interfaces.
Technical Context
The SI86SM41EE-AS2R implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity up to 100 kV/µs. Its architecture includes dedicated SMb (sleep mode active-low) control that disables all transmitters while retaining one channel to monitor SMb state.
It features four isolated channels with two forward (A→B) and two reverse (B→A) directions, tri-state outputs via EN1/EN2, and selectable fail-safe output (low-default per -AS2R suffix). The device meets IEC 60747-17 reinforced insulation and supports dual supply domains (VDD1/VDD2) with independent UVLO and reset thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, CAN FD, and gate driver signaling without timing bottlenecks. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - enables use in 1000 V+ DC bus systems like EV traction inverters and onboard chargers. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - ensures tight timing alignment between controller and power stage in real-time motor control loops. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level shifters. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments and industrial motor drives. |
| CMTI | 100 kV/µs minimum - rejects fast transient coupling in high-dV/dt SiC/GaN inverter switching nodes. |
| Sleep current | 750 µA per side - reduces standby power in battery management systems during idle states. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SM41EE-AS2R uses a WB SOIC-16 (wide-body small-outline integrated circuit) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation. Pin layout follows Figure 3 (Si86SM4x) in the datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A power domain | Supplies and grounds the controller-side logic; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four unidirectional input pins on main side; accept Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds for noise immunity. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low input that disables all transmitters except one monitoring channel; pulls device into 750 µA/side sleep. |
| Isolation Barrier | RF-coupled dielectric | Semiconductor-based barrier providing 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four unidirectional output pins on isolated side; drive 50 Ω nominal impedance loads with tristate capability. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B power domain | Supplies and grounds the power-stage-side logic; independent of VDD1 for galvanic separation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sleep mode (SMb) | Reduces quiescent current to 750 µA/side while retaining wake-on-SMb functionality - extends battery life in BMS standby. |
| Fail-safe low-default output | Ensures B1–B4 drive logic low during VDD1 loss - prevents unintended gate turn-on in isolated IGBT/SiC drivers. |
| RF modulation architecture | Eliminates startup initialization delay and avoids LED aging or capacitor drift issues found in optocouplers. |
| Tri-state outputs with EN1/EN2 | Enables shared-bus configurations by disabling outputs without disrupting isolation integrity or timing behavior. |
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating | Validates suitability for functional safety applications up to ASIL-D in automotive powertrain subsystems. |
Applications
| Battery Management System (BMS) | Traction Inverter Control |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM4401BRWZ | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, no sleep mode, 2.7–5.5 V supply | Lacks SMb control and AEC-Q100 qualification; lower isolation rating limits use in 800 V EV systems | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and ultra-low sleep current needs. |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, no sleep mode, 1.71–5.5 V supply | Lower data rate and isolation rating; not AEC-Q100 qualified; higher propagation delay (25 ns) | Select for industrial PLC I/O modules where 50 Mbps suffices and extended temperature range is not required. |
Compared with ADUM4401BRWZ and ISO6741FDWR, SI86SM41EE-AS2R delivers higher isolation (6000 vs. 5000 VRMS), faster data rate (150 vs. ≤100 Mbps), automotive qualification, and integrated sleep mode - making it uniquely suited for next-generation EV power electronics requiring both performance and low-power standby.

FAQ
What does the "-AS2R" suffix indicate in SI86SM41EE-AS2R?
The "-AS2R" suffix denotes an automotive-grade ordering part number with default-low fail-safe output configuration and reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation. SI86SM41EE-AS2R is AEC-Q100 qualified, includes IMDS/CAMDS documentation support, and ships in RoHS-compliant WB SOIC-16 packaging - distinguishing it from commercial variants like SI86SM41ED-AS2R.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SM41EE-AS2R?
The SMb pin is an active-low sleep mode control input. When pulled low, SI86SM41EE-AS2R disables all transmitter circuits while maintaining one active channel to monitor SMb state, reducing quiescent current to 750 µA per side. When SMb is high or floating, SI86SM41EE-AS2R operates normally with full 150 Mbps capability.
Does SI86SM41EE-AS2R require external start-up initialization?
No. SI86SM41EE-AS2R uses RF-based on/off keying modulation and requires no firmware initialization or calibration sequence. Outputs follow inputs after a 0.3 ms start-up stabilization period once VDD1 and VDD2 exceed 2.18 V UVLO+, and the device enters normal operation without handshake or configuration overhead.
What safety certifications apply to SI86SM41EE-AS2R?
SI86SM41EE-AS2R holds pending UL 1577 recognition (6000 VRMS), CSA 62368-1/60601-1, VDE 60747-17 (reinforced insulation), and CQC GB4943.1 approvals. Its WB SOIC-16 package meets creepage/clearance requirements for reinforced insulation in automotive and industrial end-equipment certified to IEC 61010-1 or IEC 62368-1.
Can SI86SM41EE-AS2R replace optocouplers in existing designs?
Yes - SI86SM41EE-AS2R offers direct functional replacement for 4-channel optocouplers such as HCPL-0723 or TLP2362, with superior performance: 15× higher data rate (150 vs. 10 Mbps), 10× lower propagation delay (10 vs. 100 ns), and no LED degradation over time. Layout changes are minimal due to identical WB SOIC-16 footprint and pinout compatibility.
