Product details
Overview
SI86SM42BC-IS1 from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel reinforced digital isolator with two forward and two reverse signal paths, 6000 VRMS isolation rating, AEC-Q100 qualification, and integrated sleep mode control (SMb pin). It operates across 2.25–5.5 V supplies, supports up to 150 Mbps data rate, and delivers 10 ns typical propagation delay - enabling robust signal integrity in high-noise automotive battery management and traction inverter interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM42BC-IS1 datasheet, SI86SM42BC-IS1 pinout, SI86SM42BC-IS1 application, or SI86SM42BC-IS1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its reinforced IEC 60747-17 insulation, fail-safe default-high/low output option, tri-state outputs with enable, Schmitt-trigger + CMOS input thresholds, and 100 kV/µs CMTI performance for motor control gate driver isolation.
Technical Context
The SI86SM42BC-IS1 implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and providing inherent noise immunity without optical degradation. Its architecture includes dedicated transmitter/receiver pairs per channel, independent UVLO and reset circuitry per side (VDD1/VDD2), and a dedicated SMb pin that places both sides into low-power sleep mode (750 µA/side) while retaining one active channel to monitor SMb state.
It features bidirectional channel configuration (A1–A4 ↔ B1–B4), tri-state output control via EN1/EN2, selectable fail-safe output state during unpowered conditions, and 36 ns input deglitch filtering - all within a WB SOIC-16 package rated for –40 °C to +125 °C operation and compliant with UL 1577, CSA 62368-1/60601-1, VDE 60747-17, and CQC GB4943.1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, isolated ADC/DAC interfaces, and real-time motor control feedback loops. |
| Isolation Rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - enables use in reinforced insulation systems for onboard chargers and traction inverters per IEC 62109 and ISO 6469. |
| Propagation Delay | 10 ns typical - ensures tight timing alignment between controller and power stage in isolated gate driver applications. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.25 V to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog front-ends without level-shifting. |
| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - prevents false triggering in high-dV/dt environments like SiC/GaN inverter switching nodes. |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +125 °C - meets automotive under-hood and industrial control cabinet thermal requirements. |
| Sleep Current | 750 µA per side - reduces system standby power in battery management systems during idle states. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SM42BC-IS1 is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance ≥8.3 mm, supporting 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation per UL 1577.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A supply and ground | Power domain for input-side logic (e.g., MCU GPIO or SPI controller); requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypassing. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four bidirectional signal inputs/outputs on controller side; support Schmitt-trigger + CMOS thresholds for noise immunity. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control (active low) | Drives device into 750 µA/side sleep mode; internal pull-up ensures wake-on-assertion when released. |
| Isolation Barrier | Internal RF coupling barrier | Semiconductor-based dielectric barrier enabling galvanic isolation without optocoupler aging or LED drift. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Four isolated outputs/inputs on power-stage side (e.g., gate drivers, current sensors); electrically separated from Side A. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B supply and ground | Independent power domain for isolated peripherals; supports different voltage rails than Side A. |
| NC | No connect | Pin 9 is unconnected - must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating | Validated for functional safety-critical systems requiring dual insulation barriers, including ISO 26262 ASIL-B/C automotive subsystems. |
| Sleep mode with SMb pin | Reduces total quiescent current to 1.5 mA (750 µA/side) while retaining wake capability - critical for always-on BMS monitoring. |
| Selectable fail-safe output | Default-high or default-low output state during VDD loss ensures predictable gate driver or fault-signaling behavior in power failure events. |
| Tri-state outputs with EN1/EN2 | Enables bus sharing and hot-swap compatibility by disabling outputs without disrupting isolation barrier integrity. |
| 36 ns input deglitch filter | Rejects sub-36 ns EMI-induced transients on motor control feedback lines, preventing spurious interrupts or erroneous sampling. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for automotive applications with full temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) and extended reliability testing per stress test conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM4402BRWZ | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, no sleep mode, 16-lead SOIC (standard body) | Lacks SMb pin and AEC-Q100 qualification; suitable for industrial but not automotive BMS | Choose ADUM4402BRWZ only if sleep mode and automotive qualification are not required. |
| ISO7741FDWR | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, 16-pin SOIC, no SMb, lower CMTI (85 kV/µs) | Lower isolation rating and CMTI limit use in high-dV/dt traction inverters | Select ISO7741FDWR for cost-sensitive industrial PLCs where 6000 VRMS is not mandated. |
Compared with ADUM4402BRWZ and ISO7741FDWR, SI86SM42BC-IS1 uniquely combines 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation, AEC-Q100 Grade 1, and hardware-controlled sleep mode - making it the only option qualified for ASIL-B battery disconnect monitoring and high-CMTI gate driver interfaces in EV powertrains.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SM42BC-IS1 and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86SM42BC-IS1 provides 6000 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577 and is certified to IEC 60747-17 (reinforced insulation), CSA 62368-1/60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1. This enables its use in safety-critical automotive applications such as onboard chargers and battery management systems where double insulation is mandated. The wide-body SOIC-16 package ensures ≥8.3 mm creepage and clearance to meet end-equipment standards like ISO 6469 and IEC 62109.
Does SI86SM42BC-IS1 support fail-safe output configuration, and how is it implemented?
Yes, SI86SM42BC-IS1 offers selectable fail-safe output behavior - default-high or default-low - determined by ordering option (denoted in the part number suffix). When VDD1 or VDD2 falls below UVLO threshold, outputs transition to the pre-configured safe state. This ensures predictable behavior during power loss in gate driver or fault-monitoring circuits. The setting is fixed at manufacture and cannot be changed in-system.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SM42BC-IS1, and what is its impact on power consumption?
The SMb pin in SI86SM42BC-IS1 is an active-low sleep mode control input. When pulled low, it places both sides of the isolator into sleep mode, reducing total supply current to 1.5 mA (750 µA per side). One channel remains active to monitor SMb, enabling immediate wake-up when SMb is released (pulled high via internal pull-up). This feature is essential for low-power BMS monitoring during vehicle standby.
What is the maximum data rate supported by SI86SM42BC-IS1, and how does it perform at high temperatures?
SI86SM42BC-IS1 supports DC to 150 Mbps data rate across its full operating temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C. Electrical specifications including propagation delay (10 ns typ.), pulse width distortion (3.5 ns typ.), and CMTI (≥100 kV/µs) are guaranteed over this range. No derating is required up to 125 °C ambient, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial inverter environments.
Can SI86SM42BC-IS1 be used in SPI isolation applications, and what channel configuration is required?
SI86SM42BC-IS1 is not a dedicated SPI isolator (like Si86SS41/51) but supports SPI interface implementation using its four bidirectional channels: A1/B1 for MOSI/MISO, A2/B2 for SCLK, A3/B3 for CS#, and A4/B4 for optional interrupt or ready signaling. Direction is managed externally; no built-in SPI protocol logic is present. For fully integrated SPI isolation, Si86SS51 is recommended instead.
