Product details
Overview
SI86SO20BE-AS4R from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel, high-speed digital isolator with reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation, AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use, operating from 2.25–5.5 V supply and supporting up to 150 Mbps data rate. It features selectable fail-safe output (default low), 10 ns typical propagation delay, and Schmitt-trigger CMOS inputs for noise immunity in isolated power and signal interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SO20BE-AS4R datasheet, SI86SO20BE-AS4R pinout, SI86SO20BE-AS4R application, or SI86SO20BE-AS4R equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, exact pin functions, automotive-grade safety certifications (UL, VDE, CSA, CQC), and real-world timing behavior - critical for battery management systems, traction inverters, and isolated ADC/DAC designs requiring robust transient immunity and fail-safe power-loss response.
Technical Context
The SI86SO20BE-AS4R uses RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier - eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic 300 µs start-up time. Its dual-channel architecture supports independent side-A and side-B supplies (VDD1/VDD2) with separate UVLO and reset thresholds (VDDUV±, RSTB±), ensuring reliable operation during asymmetric power sequencing.
It implements selectable default-low fail-safe mode via ordering option, with internal 100 kΩ pulldown during power-up and configurable output state retention after reset. Input deglitch filtering (36 ns) is not included in this variant (SOx series without "2" suffix in family name indicates no filter), and output impedance is 50 Ω ±40% for controlled-impedance PCB routing.

Pinout & Package
SI86SO20BE-AS4R is housed in an NB SOIC-8 package (3.9 mm creepage/clearance), optimized for high-voltage isolation in compact automotive and industrial layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Side A power supply | Provides 2.25–5.5 V bias for input-side logic and RF transmitter; requires 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors |
| GND1 | Side A ground | Reference return for input-side circuitry; must be separated from GND2 by ≥3.9 mm creepage for safety compliance |
| A1, A2 | Side A digital inputs | CMOS/Schmitt-trigger inputs accepting 0.3×VDD1–0.7×VDD1 thresholds; support 150 Mbps with 6.7 ns minimum pulse width |
| NC | No connect | Pin 3 is unconnected - must remain floating; no trace or pad should contact this terminal |
| GND2 | Side B ground | Reference return for output-side logic and RF receiver; galvanically isolated from GND1 |
| B1, B2 | Side B digital outputs | Inverting outputs (SOx family) with 50 Ω nominal impedance; default low during VDD1 undervoltage or reset |
| VDD2 | Side B power supply | Independent 2.25–5.5 V bias for output-side logic; enables split-rail operation with isolated DC-DC converters |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI86SO20BD-AS4R | Same pinout and specs, but default-high fail-safe mode instead of default-low | Used where active-high enable or latch-up prevention requires high-state default on power loss | Select SI86SO20BD-AS4R only if system logic requires asserted-high signaling during undervoltage conditions |
| ADUM120N0BRZ-RL7 | 150 Mbps, 5 V supply only, 3750 VRMS isolation, no AEC-Q100 qualification | Suitable for industrial automation but not automotive traction or BMS due to lower isolation and no automotive qualification | Choose ADUM120N0BRZ-RL7 for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where 3750 VRMS meets system requirements |
Compared with SI86SO20BD-AS4R, SI86SO20BE-AS4R provides guaranteed low-state output during power loss - critical for fail-safe BMS disconnect logic; versus ADUM120N0BRZ-RL7, it adds AEC-Q100 qualification, 6000 VRMS isolation, and wider 2.25–5.5 V supply range for automotive flexibility.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe behavior of SI86SO20BE-AS4R during power loss?
The SI86SO20BE-AS4R is ordered with default-low fail-safe mode ("BE" suffix). When VDD1 drops below UVLO– (1.98–2.12 V), outputs B1 and B2 are actively driven low within 12 ns (tSD), ensuring safe shutdown in battery management and motor control systems. This behavior is hardware-defined and does not require external pull-down resistors.
Does SI86SO20BE-AS4R support 3.3 V and 5 V supply combinations across its isolation barrier?
Yes, SI86SO20BE-AS4R supports independent VDD1 and VDD2 supplies from 2.25 V to 5.5 V. It is fully functional with VDD1 = 3.3 V (MCU side) and VDD2 = 5 V (gate driver side), or vice versa - enabling flexible level translation without external logic buffers.
What safety certifications apply to SI86SO20BE-AS4R?
SI86SO20BE-AS4R carries pending UL 1577 (6000 VRMS), VDE 60747-17 (reinforced), CSA 62368-1 (1500 VRMS working voltage), and CQC GB4943.1 certifications. All are validated for the NB SOIC-8 package and cover the full –40 to +125 °C operating range.
How does SI86SO20BE-AS4R achieve 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity?
SI86SO20BE-AS4R achieves 100 kV/µs CMTI through its RF modulation architecture and optimized internal layout - rejecting fast dV/dt transients across the isolation barrier without false triggering. This is measured per Figure 8 in the datasheet with ±1500 V common-mode step and confirmed across temperature and voltage ranges.
Is input deglitch filtering enabled on SI86SO20BE-AS4R?
No, SI86SO20BE-AS4R does not include input deglitch filtering. The "SO" prefix denotes the inverting-output, no-filter variant of the Si86S61x/S62x/SOx family. Deglitch capability (36 ns) is only present in Si86S62x parts - e.g., SI86S620BE-AS4R - and is not implemented in SOx devices.
