Product details
Overview
SI86SM42EE-IS2R from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel reinforced digital isolator with sleep mode control (SMb pin), two forward and two reverse signal paths, 6000 VRMS isolation rating, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use in battery management systems and traction inverters.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SM42EE-IS2R datasheet, SI86SM42EE-IS2R pinout, SI86SM42EE-IS2R application, or SI86SM42EE-IS2R equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including 10 ns propagation delay, 150 Mbps data rate, 2.25–5.5 V dual supply range, fail-safe default-low output, and WB SOIC-16 package with reinforced IEC 60747-17 insulation.
Technical Context
The SI86SM42EE-IS2R implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity (100 kV/µs CMTI) without optical degradation. Its architecture supports independent side-A/side-B undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset thresholds (RSTB± ~1.7 V), ensuring deterministic behavior during power transients.
Sleep mode is controlled via the active-low SMb pin on side A, reducing quiescent current to 750 µA per side while retaining one always-on channel to monitor SMb state. The device features Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs, tri-state outputs with enable, and selectable fail-safe output polarity (default low per -IS2R suffix).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces including isolated SPI and QSPI data lanes. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables precise timing-critical applications such as motor gate drive synchronization. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS for 1 minute - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains without level shifters. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments. |
| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - ensures reliable operation in high-dv/dt noise environments like inverters and SMPS. |
| Fail-safe mode | Default low output - maintains safe system state during side-A power loss (confirmed by -IS2R ordering code). |
Pinout & Package
SI86SM42EE-IS2R is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin 16 is VDD2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Side A power supply | Supplies 2.25–5.5 V to input-side circuitry; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors. |
| A1–A4 | Side A digital I/O | Four bidirectional channels: A1/A2 forward (A→B), A3/A4 reverse (B→A); CMOS/Schmitt inputs. |
| SMb | Sleep mode control | Active-low pin on side A; drives device into 750 µA/side sleep mode when asserted. |
| GND1 | Side A ground | Reference for side A signals and supplies; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier. |
| B1–B4 | Side B digital I/O | Corresponding isolated outputs/inputs: B1/B2 mirror A1/A2 (forward), B3/B4 mirror A3/A4 (reverse). |
| GND2 | Side B ground | Reference for side B signals; galvanically isolated from GND1; requires separate bypass capacitors. |
| VDD2 | Side B power supply | Supplies 2.25–5.5 V to output-side circuitry; independent of VDD1 for dual-domain operation. |
| NC | No connect | Pin 9 is not bonded; must remain unconnected per datasheet Figure 3 for Si86SM42. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sleep mode control (SMb) | Reduces total quiescent current to 750 µA per side while retaining wake-up capability via single always-on monitoring channel. |
| Reinforced IEC 60747-17 rating | Validates 6000 VRMS withstand for 1 minute and supports end-system compliance with IEC 62368-1 and IEC 60601-1. |
| Fail-safe default-low output | Guarantees B1–B4 outputs drive low during side-A power loss, critical for safety-critical shutdown sequences. |
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift; achieves 10 ns propagation delay and 3.5 ns pulse width distortion. |
| High CMTI (≥100 kV/µs) | Prevents false triggering in high-noise motor drives and inverters where fast switching induces large dv/dt transients. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8642ED-IS2R | No SMb pin; fixed normal operation only; identical pinout and 6000 VRMS rating. | Lacks sleep mode - unsuitable for duty-cycled systems requiring ultra-low standby power. | Select when continuous operation is required and sleep control is unnecessary. |
| ADUM4402BRWZ | 4-channel, 5 kVRMS, 100 Mbps, no sleep mode, different pinout (SOIC-16 NB), non-AEC-Q100. | Lower isolation rating and no automotive qualification limit use in BMS/traction systems. | Consider for cost-sensitive industrial applications where 5 kVRMS suffices and AEC-Q100 is not mandated. |
Compared with SI86SM42EE-IS2R, SI8642ED-IS2R offers identical performance without sleep mode overhead, while ADUM4402BRWZ provides legacy compatibility but lacks reinforced insulation and automotive qualification needed for high-reliability EV subsystems.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI86SM42EE-IS2R?
SI86SM42EE-IS2R 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. It is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use. These certifications are confirmed in the official Skyworks datasheet revision 206553B and apply directly to the SI86SM42EE-IS2R part number.
How does the SMb pin function in SI86SM42EE-IS2R, and what is its power impact?
The SMb pin on SI86SM42EE-IS2R is an active-low sleep mode control input on side A. When driven low, it reduces total quiescent current to 750 µA per side. One internal channel remains active to monitor SMb state and restart the device when SMb is released high or left open. This behavior is documented in Section 3.4.2 of the SI86SM42EE-IS2R datasheet.
What does the "-IS2R" suffix indicate for SI86SM42EE-IS2R?
The "-IS2R" suffix in SI86SM42EE-IS2R specifies default-low fail-safe output behavior during side-A power loss and confirms packaging in WB SOIC-16 with tape-and-reel delivery. This ordering code is defined in Table 11 ("Ordering Information") of the Skyworks Si86S6xx datasheet and applies exclusively to this variant.
Does SI86SM42EE-IS2R support bidirectional signal flow, and how is direction configured?
Yes, SI86SM42EE-IS2R supports bidirectional isolation: A1/A2 → B1/B2 (forward) and B3/B4 → A3/A4 (reverse). Direction is fixed per channel pair and does not require external control pins - unlike Si86SQ44, it has no DIR pin. This configuration is shown in Figure 3 of the datasheet for Si86SM42.
What are the recommended bypass capacitors and layout practices for SI86SM42EE-IS2R?
SI86SM42EE-IS2R requires 0.1 µF and 10 µF ceramic bypass capacitors placed as close as possible to VDD1/GND1 and VDD2/GND2 pairs. Layout must maintain physical separation between primary and secondary side traces to meet creepage/clearance requirements for 6000 VRMS. These guidelines are specified in Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2 of the official datasheet.
