Product details
Overview
SI86SM41EE-IS2R from Skyworks Solutions is a four-channel digital isolator with reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation, sleep mode control (SMb pin), and bidirectional signal transfer across an RF-based semiconductor barrier. It operates from 2.25 to 5.5 V on both sides, delivers 10 ns typical propagation delay, supports up to 150 Mbps data rate, and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM41EE-IS2R datasheet, SI86SM41EE-IS2R pinout, SI86SM41EE-IS2R application, or SI86SM41EE-IS2R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation per UL 1577 and VDE 60747-17, fail-safe default-low output option, 3.5 ns pulse width distortion, and sleep-mode current of 750 µA per side - all critical for isolated motor control gate drivers and onboard charger communication interfaces.
Technical Context
The SI86SM41EE-IS2R implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a monolithic semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing behavior. Its architecture includes dedicated transmitter (HF XMTR) and receiver (HF RCVR) circuits per channel, Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs for noise immunity, and independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) monitors on both sides with 2.10–2.25 V rising threshold.
Sleep mode is controlled via the active-low SMb pin, which disables all transmitters except one monitoring channel to detect wake-up events. Output enable (EN1/EN2) pins provide tri-state control, while fail-safe logic ensures outputs default to low when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active - confirmed in Table 4 of the datasheet for Mxx-series ordering options.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation per UL 1577 (1 min), certified to VDE 60747-17 and CSA 62368-1. |
| Data Rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed CAN FD, SPI, and gate driver signaling without protocol translation. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typical - enables tight-timing loops in isolated ADC sampling and PWM feedback paths. |
| Pulse Width Distortion | 3.5 ns typical - preserves duty cycle fidelity for precision motor control and digital power timing. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.25 V to 5.5 V on both sides - allows interoperability with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends. |
| Sleep Mode Current | 750 µA per side - reduces standby power in battery management systems during idle states. |
| Transient Immunity | ≥100 kV/µs CMTI - maintains signal integrity in noisy inverter switching environments. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SM41EE-IS2R uses a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS working voltage. Pin 1 is VDD1; pin 16 is VDD2; isolation barrier lies between pins 1–8 (Side A) and 9–16 (Side B).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, VDD2 | Independent supply rails | Enable galvanic separation of logic domains; each requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| GND1, GND2 | Side A and Side B grounds | Must be kept physically separated on PCB to maintain isolation integrity and meet creepage requirements. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four input/output channels on primary side; support Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds for noise rejection. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four isolated output/input channels on secondary side; electrically decoupled from Side A. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low pin that disables transmitters while retaining wake-up detection capability. |
| NC | No-connect | Pin 9 is not bonded; must remain unconnected to avoid compromising isolation barrier performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift issues of optocouplers; provides stable timing over –40 to 125 °C. |

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, 6000 VRMS, 100 Mbps max, no sleep mode pin, 15 ns propagation delay. | Lacks SMb-controlled low-power state; higher quiescent current (1.2 mA/side typical at 5 V). | Choose when sleep mode is unnecessary and legacy ADI footprint compatibility is required. |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel, 5000 VRMS, 50 Mbps max, no fail-safe default-low option, 16 ns propagation delay. | Lower isolation rating and data rate; not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Consider only for cost-sensitive industrial automation where 6000 VRMS and automotive qualification are not mandated. |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI86SM41EE-IS2R and which safety standards does it meet?
The SI86SM41EE-IS2R provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 (1 minute), and is certified to VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1. These approvals validate its use in medical equipment, EV battery systems, and industrial inverters where double insulation is mandated. The WB SOIC-16 package achieves this rating through enhanced creepage and internal barrier design - confirmed in Tables 14 and 16 of the official datasheet.
Does the SI86SM41EE-IS2R support fail-safe operation, and how is it configured?
Yes, the SI86SM41EE-IS2R supports selectable fail-safe output behavior. As an Mxx-series part, it is ordered with default-low output logic, meaning outputs go low when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active - verified in Table 4 of the datasheet. This behavior is fixed by the ordering option and cannot be changed in-circuit; no external configuration is required.
How does the SMb pin function in the SI86SM41EE-IS2R, and what is its impact on power consumption?
The SMb pin is an active-low sleep mode control input. When driven low, it disables all transmitter circuits except one monitoring channel, reducing total current to 750 µA per side. When high or open, the device operates normally. This feature is explicitly documented for Si86SM4x variants in Section 3.4.2 and Figure 11 of the datasheet, enabling dynamic power scaling in battery-powered automotive modules.
What are the key timing specifications of the SI86SM41EE-IS2R, and how do they compare to legacy optocouplers?
The SI86SM41EE-IS2R delivers 10 ns typical propagation delay and 3.5 ns typical pulse width distortion - significantly tighter than standard optocouplers (typically >50 ns delay, >20 ns distortion). These values are measured at 5 V supply and –40 to 125 °C, and directly enable accurate dead-time control in SiC/GaN gate drivers. The RF modulation architecture eliminates startup delays and temperature-dependent drift inherent in LED-based isolation.
Is the SI86SM41EE-IS2R qualified for automotive applications, and what documentation supports this claim?
Yes, the SI86SM41EE-IS2R is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 0 (–40 to +125 °C), with AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS listings available. This qualification is stated in the "Automotive Applications" section and "Key Features" list of the datasheet, and reflects manufacturing process controls specific to automotive-grade flow - distinct from industrial-grade variants in the same family.
