Product details
Overview
SI86SM42EC-IS1R from Skyworks Solutions is a four-channel reinforced digital isolator with two forward and two reverse signal paths, 6000 VRMS isolation rating, 150 Mbps data rate, and integrated sleep mode control (SMb pin). It operates across 2.25–5.5 V supplies and supports industrial motor control, isolated ADC/DAC interfaces, and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM42EC-IS1R datasheet, SI86SM42EC-IS1R pinout, SI86SM42EC-IS1R application, or SI86SM42EC-IS1R equivalent, this device delivers precise timing (10 ns propagation delay), high CMTI (>100 kV/µs), fail-safe output configuration, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in high-noise, high-voltage environments.
Technical Context
The SI86SM42EC-IS1R implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. Its dual-supply architecture (VDD1/VDD2) supports independent 2.25–5.5 V operation per side with undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset thresholds at 2.18 V (rising) and 1.7 V (RSTB).
Sleep mode is controlled via the active-low SMb pin: driving SMb low reduces quiescent current to 750 µA per side while maintaining one always-on channel to monitor SMb state; releasing SMb (high or open) restores full operation. Pin-compatible with WB SOIC-16 package, it supports tri-state outputs, Schmitt-trigger + CMOS inputs, and selectable default-high/low fail-safe outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial links including SPI and isolated sensor interfaces without protocol translation. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for safety-critical industrial and automotive applications. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns (typical) - enables tight timing budgets in closed-loop motor control and real-time power converter feedback paths. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| CMTI | >100 kV/µs (min) - ensures reliable operation in high dv/dt environments such as traction inverters and SMPS gate drivers. |
| Sleep current | 750 µA per side - reduces system standby power in battery-powered BMS and portable medical equipment. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SM42EC-IS1R is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation. The package meets RoHS compliance and supports automated PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Side A supply | Main-side power input (2.25–5.5 V); requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors near pin. |
| GND1 | Side A ground | Reference return for Side A logic and supply; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier. |
| A1–A4 | Side A I/O | Four digital I/O pins on main side; A1/A2 are forward channels, A3/A4 are reverse channels. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low input controlling global sleep mode; drives device into 750 µA/side low-power state. |
| NC | No connect | Pin 9 is unconnected internally; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines. |
| GND2 | Side B ground | Reference return for Side B logic; galvanically isolated from GND1 by internal barrier. |
| B1–B4 | Side B I/O | Four digital I/O pins on isolated side; B1/B2 mirror A1/A2 (forward), B3/B4 mirror A3/A4 (reverse). |
| VDD2 | Side B supply | Isolated-side power input (2.25–5.5 V); independent of VDD1 for dual-domain operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sleep mode control (SMb) | Reduces total quiescent current to 1.5 mA (750 µA per side) while retaining wake-up capability via single-pin assertion. |
| Reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation | Enables safe interface between hazardous AC mains or high-voltage DC bus and low-voltage MCU domains in EV chargers and inverters. |
| Fail-safe output selection | Factory-configured default-high or default-low output state during VDD loss - prevents undefined states in safety-critical shutdown sequences. |
| RF modulation architecture | Eliminates startup delay and aging drift vs. optocouplers; achieves 10 ns propagation delay with 3.5 ns pulse width distortion. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive use up to +125 °C ambient, supporting onboard chargers, BMS, and traction inverter control modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2402BRWZ | 4-channel, 25 Mbps, 2500 VRMS, no sleep mode, SOIC-16 (narrow body) | Limited to lower-speed industrial I/O; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and 6000 VRMS rating. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs speed, isolation, and automotive requirements. |
| ISO6742FDWR | 4-channel, 50 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, no SMb pin, SOIC-16 (wide body) | Supports only basic isolation; missing fail-safe output selection and reinforced 6000 VRMS certification. | Prefer for non-automotive, non-safety-critical 50 Mbps applications where sleep mode is unnecessary. |
Compared with ADUM2402BRWZ and ISO6742FDWR, SI86SM42EC-IS1R provides higher data rate (150 Mbps), certified 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation, AEC-Q100 qualification, and active sleep mode control-making it uniquely suited for next-generation EV power electronics and high-reliability industrial automation.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SM42EC-IS1R?
The SI86SM42EC-IS1R has a certified 6000 VRMS isolation rating for 1 minute per UL 1577 and meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60747-17. This rating applies to the WB SOIC-16 package and is validated for continuous operation in systems with working voltages up to 1200 V peak. SI86SM42EC-IS1R maintains this rating across its full –40 to +125 °C operating range.
Does SI86SM42EC-IS1R support fail-safe output configuration?
Yes, SI86SM42EC-IS1R offers factory-selectable fail-safe output behavior: either default-high or default-low output state when the input-side supply (VDD1) is unpowered but the output-side supply (VDD2) remains active. This behavior is defined at order time and cannot be changed in-circuit. SI86SM42EC-IS1R implements this using internal UVLO and reset circuitry with RSTB threshold at ~1.7 V.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SM42EC-IS1R?
The SMb pin is an active-low sleep mode control input. When driven low, SI86SM42EC-IS1R enters sleep mode drawing just 750 µA per side while keeping one isolation channel active to monitor SMb. Releasing SMb (driving high or leaving open) wakes the device within microseconds. SI86SM42EC-IS1R retains full 150 Mbps performance and timing specs upon wake-up with no reinitialization required.
What package type is used for SI86SM42EC-IS1R?
SI86SM42EC-IS1R uses a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with 7.5 mm creepage and clearance, optimized to achieve 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation. The package is RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and compatible with standard surface-mount assembly processes. Pin 9 is NC and must not be soldered to a net.
Is SI86SM42EC-IS1R qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SI86SM42EC-IS1R is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40 to +125 °C) and supports AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation. It is built using automotive-specific manufacturing flows and includes IMDS/CAMDS compliance. SI86SM42EC-IS1R is approved for use in onboard chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverters in hybrid and battery electric vehicles.
