Product details
Overview
SI86SO20EE-AS4R from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel, inverting-output digital isolator with reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation, 150 Mbps data rate, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive systems. It features Schmitt-trigger inputs, selectable fail-safe default-low output, and operates across 2.25–5.5 V supply rails on both sides. Used in battery management systems and traction inverters where high CMTI (>100 kV/µs) and wide temperature range (–40 to +125 °C) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SO20EE-AS4R datasheet, SI86SO20EE-AS4R pinout, SI86SO20EE-AS4R application, or SI86SO20EE-AS4R equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade safety certifications (UL 1577, VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1), and real-world timing behavior including 9 ns typical propagation delay and 3.5 ns pulse width distortion.
Technical Context
The SI86SO20EE-AS4R implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating start-up initialization and enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation. Its dual-channel architecture supports independent side-A and side-B power domains (VDD1/GND1 and VDD2/GND2), each with dedicated UVLO (2.18 V typ) and reset thresholds (RSTB+ ~1.7 V).
It integrates input deglitch filtering (36 ns), precise fail-safe control via ordering option (default-low output), and CMOS/Schmitt-trigger hybrid input logic. Timing performance is guaranteed across 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V supplies, with channel-to-channel skew ≤3 ns and peak eye jitter ≤350 ps.

Pinout & Package
SI86SO20EE-AS4R uses an NB SOIC-8 package (3.9 mm creepage/clearance) with reinforced insulation barrier separating side-A and side-B domains.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Side-A power supply | Supplies primary-side logic; must be bypassed with 0.1 µF + 10 µF capacitors near pin |
| GND1 | Side-A ground reference | Return path for side-A I/O; must be separated from GND2 by ≥3.9 mm PCB clearance |
| A1 | Side-A input/output | Inverting digital input for channel 1; accepts 0.3×VDD1–0.7×VDD1 logic thresholds |
| A2 | Side-A input/output | Inverting digital input for channel 2; electrically identical to A1, independent timing |
| GND2 | Side-B ground reference | Return path for side-B outputs; galvanically isolated from GND1 |
| B1 | Side-B output | Inverted replica of A1; drives 50 Ω nominal load with 2.5 ns rise/fall times |
| B2 | Side-B output | Inverted replica of A2; supports independent signal routing across isolation barrier |
| VDD2 | Side-B power supply | Supplies secondary-side output drivers; decoupling required same as VDD1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation architecture | No start-up initialization required; eliminates boot-time uncertainty in safety-critical power sequencing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM120N0BRZ-RL7 | Single-supply (3.3 V only), non-inverting, 150 Mbps, 3000 VRMS isolation | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and reinforced 6000 VRMS rating; unsuitable for automotive traction systems | Consider only for cost-sensitive industrial 3.3 V-only designs where 6 kVRMS is not mandated |
| ISO7721DWR | Non-inverting, 100 Mbps, 5000 VRMS, no deglitch filter, different pinout (SOIC-8 but non-compatible) | Lower CMTI (85 kV/µs), no fail-safe default-low option, not AEC-Q100 qualified | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial isolation where lower speed and reduced safety margin are acceptable |
Compared with ADUM120N0BRZ-RL7 and ISO7721DWR, SI86SO20EE-AS4R uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation, inverting logic, and integrated 36 ns deglitching-making it the only viable option for functional safety–compliant EV powertrain subsystems requiring guaranteed fail-safe behavior and high dv/dt immunity.

FAQ
What is the default output state of SI86SO20EE-AS4R during VDD1 power loss?
The SI86SO20EE-AS4R is ordered with default-low fail-safe mode, meaning B1 and B2 outputs are actively driven low when VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active. This behavior is hard-coded per the "EE" suffix and prevents undefined states in safety-critical gate control or fault signaling paths. The device uses internal pulldown circuitry (100 kΩ) during startup and transitions to the configured default state within 300 µs after VDD1 exceeds UVLO+ (2.18 V typical). SI86SO20EE-AS4R does not require external pull resistors to enforce this behavior.
Does SI86SO20EE-AS4R support mixed-voltage operation between side-A and side-B?
Yes, SI86SO20EE-AS4R supports independent supply rails: VDD1 can operate from 2.25–5.5 V while VDD2 simultaneously runs at a different voltage within the same range (e.g., VDD1 = 3.3 V, VDD2 = 5.0 V). This enables direct interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V gate drivers without level shifters. Input thresholds scale with VDD1 (VIH = 0.7×VDD1, VIL = 0.3×VDD1), and output drive strength is specified at both 3.3 V and 5.0 V loads. SI86SO20EE-AS4R maintains full 150 Mbps data rate and timing specs across all valid supply combinations.
What safety certifications apply to SI86SO20EE-AS4R?
SI86SO20EE-AS4R carries pending UL 1577 recognition (6000 VRMS, 1 min), VDE 60747-17 (reinforced insulation, 2121 Vpeak), CSA 62368-1 (600 VRMS working voltage), and CQC GB4943.1 (250 VRMS). It is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use and supports IMDS/CAMDS reporting. All certifications apply to the NB SOIC-8 package variant. SI86SO20EE-AS4R meets 2 MOPP requirements per IEC 60601-1 for medical applications and is rated for 1500 VRMS working voltage per IEC 60747-17 in SSO-8 configuration-though SI86SO20EE-AS4R uses NB SOIC-8, which achieves 445 VRMS VIOWM.
How does the 36 ns input deglitch filter affect signal integrity in SI86SO20EE-AS4R?
The 36 ns deglitch filter in SI86SO20EE-AS4R removes noise pulses shorter than 36 ns-common in motor drive EMI or relay bounce-before they propagate across the isolation barrier. Valid input edges are delayed by exactly 36 ns, preserving duty cycle and edge alignment between channels. This filter is always enabled and does not impact maximum data rate (150 Mbps), as minimum pulse width remains 6.7 ns. SI86SO20EE-AS4R's filter improves system robustness without requiring external RC networks or firmware debouncing, especially in high-noise industrial or automotive environments.
Can SI86SO20EE-AS4R replace optocouplers in existing designs without layout changes?
SI86SO20EE-AS4R uses NB SOIC-8 packaging with 3.9 mm creepage/clearance-identical footprint and pinout to industry-standard 8-pin SOIC optocouplers (e.g., PC817, TLP290). No PCB redesign is needed for drop-in replacement. However, SI86SO20EE-AS4R requires two bypass capacitors per side (0.1 µF + 10 µF) placed adjacent to VDD1/GND1 and VDD2/GND2, unlike optocouplers that need only one. Also, its inverting logic means A1→B1 and A2→B2 outputs are inverted-software or upstream logic may require adjustment. SI86SO20EE-AS4R delivers superior timing, CMTI, and lifetime reliability versus optocouplers.
