Product details
Overview
SI86SM42EE-AS2R from Skyworks Solutions is a four-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 and supports up to 150 Mbps data rate in industrial and automotive isolated interfaces such as battery management systems and motor control gate drivers.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM42EE-AS2R datasheet, SI86SM42EE-AS2R pinout, SI86SM42EE-AS2R application, or SI86SM42EE-AS2R equivalent, key selection factors include its reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating, 10 ns typical propagation delay, tri-state output enable, fail-safe default-high/low option, and automotive-grade thermal range (–40 to 125 °C).
Technical Context
The SI86SM42EE-AS2R implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity (100 kV/µs CMTI). Its architecture integrates independent UVLO and reset circuitry per side (VDD1/VDD2), with RSTB thresholds at ~1.7 V and UVLO hysteresis of 105–160 mV.
Sleep mode is controlled via the active-low SMb pin: when pulled low, it disables all transmitters except one monitoring channel, reducing quiescent current to 750 µA per side while retaining wake-up capability. The device supports selectable fail-safe output states (default high or low) during unpowered input conditions.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SI86SM42EE-AS2R is housed in a WB SOIC-16 package (wide-body, 10.3 mm creepage/clearance), supporting 6000 VRMS isolation. Pin assignments follow the Si86SM4x family layout with dedicated side-A and side-B power/ground, four bidirectional I/O channels (A1–A4/B1–B4), and SMb sleep control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Side A supply and ground | Power domain for input-side logic; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors |
| VDD2, GND2 | Side B supply and ground | Power domain for output-side logic; independent regulation enables dual-supply system partitioning |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four configurable channels; direction determined by internal RF modulation path, not external control |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Isolated mirror of A1–A4; supports mixed forward/reverse signal flow per channel pair |
| SMb | Sleep mode enable | Active-low pin that shuts down all transmitters except one monitoring channel for wake-up detection |
| NC | No connect | Pin 9 is internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |

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 max, 2500 VRMS, no sleep mode, SOIC-16 | Limited to lower-speed industrial I/O; lacks automotive qualification and reinforced isolation | Choose ADUM2402BRWZ only if cost sensitivity outweighs speed, safety, and thermal requirements |
| ISO7742FDWR | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, no SMb pin, SOIC-16 | Missing sleep mode and AEC-Q100 qualification; lower isolation rating restricts use in >400 V systems | Select ISO7742FDWR for non-automotive 24 V PLC modules where 5000 VRMS suffices |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SM42EE-AS2R and which safety standards does it meet?
SI86SM42EE-AS2R provides 6000 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577 and is certified to IEC 60747-17 (reinforced), CSA 62368-1/60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1. This enables single-component compliance in medical equipment and 800 V battery electric vehicle systems without additional isolation barriers.
Does SI86SM42EE-AS2R require external startup initialization or configuration?
No, SI86SM42EE-AS2R uses RF-based on/off keying and requires no firmware initialization, register writes, or calibration. It begins transmitting valid data within 0.3 ms of VDD reaching UVLO+ (2.18 V), with outputs held low by 100 kΩ pulldowns until stabilization.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SM42EE-AS2R and what is its impact on power consumption?
The SMb pin is an active-low sleep mode control. When driven low, SI86SM42EE-AS2R disables all transmitters except one monitoring channel, reducing quiescent current to 750 µA per side. Wake-up occurs within microseconds when SMb is released high or left open.
What are the fail-safe output options available for SI86SM42EE-AS2R and how are they selected?
SI86SM42EE-AS2R offers ordering options for default-high or default-low output states during VDD1 loss. This is implemented at wafer-level mask configuration - not user-programmable. The "EE" suffix in SI86SM42EE-AS2R indicates the default-high variant.
Can SI86SM42EE-AS2R interface directly with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families on opposite sides of the isolation barrier?
Yes, SI86SM42EE-AS2R supports independent 2.25–5.5 V supplies on VDD1 and VDD2, allowing direct connection to 3.3 V microcontrollers on Side A and 5 V gate drivers on Side B. Input thresholds scale with VDD (VIH = 0.7×VDDx, VIL = 0.3×VDDx), ensuring interoperability without level shifters.
