Product details
Overview
SI86SO20EE-IS4 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. Used in battery management systems and traction inverters where high CMTI (>100 kV/µs) and thermal robustness (–40 to +125 °C) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SO20EE-IS4 datasheet, SI86SO20EE-IS4 pinout, SI86SO20EE-IS4 application, or SI86SO20EE-IS4 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to SSO-8, functional pin definitions, automotive-grade safety certifications (UL, VDE, CSA), and real-world timing behavior including 9 ns typical propagation delay and 3.5 ns pulse width distortion.
Technical Context
The SI86SO20EE-IS4 implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier-eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing. Its dual-channel architecture supports independent side-A (VDD1/GND1/A1/A2) and side-B (VDD2/GND2/B1/B2) domains with no shared ground.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (UVLO+ = 2.18 V, UVLO– = 2.05 V) and reset circuitry (RSTB+ ≈ 1.7 V) per side, ensuring fail-safe state retention during partial power loss. The inverting logic function (A→¬B) is fixed per part number, distinct from non-inverting SOx variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | 150 Mbps - supports high-speed CAN FD, SPI, and isolated ADC interfaces without protocol overhead |
| Propagation delay | 9 ns typical - enables sub-10 ns timing-critical feedback loops in motor control and power inverters |
| Pulse width distortion | 3.5 ns typical - preserves signal integrity for narrow PWM pulses and clock distribution |
| Common-mode transient immunity | 100 kV/µs minimum - maintains data integrity in noisy high-dV/dt environments like IGBT gate drivers |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS (1 min) - meets reinforced insulation requirements for 1000 VDC bus systems per UL 1577 |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive use and industrial ambient extremes |
| Supply voltage range | 2.25–5.5 V - interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy logic without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
SI86SO20EE-IS4 is housed in an SSO-8 (wide-body SOIC-8) package with 8.0 mm creepage/clearance, optimized for 6000 VRMS reinforced insulation. Pin 1 is marked with dot; pin 1–4 belong to Side A (input), pins 5–8 to Side B (output), separated by internal isolation barrier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Side A power supply | Supplies input-side logic; must be bypassed with 0.1 µF + 10 µF capacitors near pin |
| GND1 | Side A ground reference | Return path for Side A signals; must be isolated from GND2 by PCB layout |
| A1, A2 | Digital inputs (Side A) | Inverting inputs driving B1/B2 outputs; accept CMOS/Schmitt thresholds (VIH = 0.7×VDD1) |
| GND2 | Side B ground reference | Return path for output-side logic; galvanically isolated from GND1 |
| B1, B2 | Digital outputs (Side B) | Inverting outputs (¬A1, ¬A2); 50 Ω nominal output impedance for controlled-impedance trace routing |
| VDD2 | Side B power supply | Supplies output-side logic; independent of VDD1, enabling level-shifting applications |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inverting output logic | Fixed A→¬B mapping eliminates external inverters in feedback paths and dead-time control circuits |
| Selectable fail-safe mode | Default-low output (EE suffix) ensures safe shutdown state during VDD1 loss in BMS and OBC applications |
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture enables immediate data transmission at power-on-no configuration or handshake required |
| High EMI immunity | Schmitt-trigger inputs + 100 kV/µs CMTI suppress noise coupling in high-power motor drives and inverters |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 | Qualified for –40 to +150 °C junction operation-supports extended automotive thermal profiles beyond standard Grade 1 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI86SO20ED-IS4 | Same SSO-8 package and inverting function, but default-high fail-safe output (ED suffix) | Preferred when system requires active-high enable or latch-up prevention during power loss | Select SI86SO20ED-IS4 only if default-high output behavior aligns with safety logic; otherwise SI86SO20EE-IS4 is optimal for default-low shutdown states |
| ADUM120N0BRZ-RL7 | Non-inverting dual-channel isolator; 150 Mbps; 3000 VRMS isolation; SOIC-8 (narrow-body, 3.9 mm creepage) | Lacks reinforced insulation rating and automotive qualification; suitable for industrial, not automotive, end equipment | Choose ADUM120N0BRZ-RL7 only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring non-inverting logic and lower isolation voltage |
Compared with SI86SO20ED-IS4, SI86SO20EE-IS4 provides guaranteed low-state fail-safe behavior critical for BMS fault shutdown; versus ADUM120N0BRZ-RL7, it delivers 100% higher isolation voltage, AEC-Q100 qualification, and SSO-8 creepage compliance for automotive safety-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe output state of SI86SO20EE-IS4?
The SI86SO20EE-IS4 has a default-low fail-safe output. When VDD1 is unpowered but VDD2 remains active, B1 and B2 outputs are driven low. This behavior is fixed by the "EE" ordering code and ensures safe deactivation of downstream drivers in battery management or motor control systems during input-side power loss.
Does SI86SO20EE-IS4 require external configuration or initialization at power-up?
No, SI86SO20EE-IS4 requires no configuration or initialization. Its RF-based isolation architecture enables immediate data transmission upon power application. Valid output appears within 300 µs of VDD1/VDD2 reaching UVLO+ threshold, with no firmware or register setup needed-reducing system boot time and design complexity.
What safety certifications does SI86SO20EE-IS4 hold?
SI86SO20EE-IS4 is certified to UL 1577 (6000 VRMS), VDE 60747-17 (reinforced), CSA 62368-1/60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1. These approvals validate its suitability for medical, industrial, and automotive applications requiring two-mop protection and 6000 VRMS isolation endurance.
Can SI86SO20EE-IS4 operate with mismatched supply voltages on Side A and Side B?
Yes, SI86SO20EE-IS4 supports independent VDD1 and VDD2 supplies ranging from 2.25 V to 5.5 V each. This enables level-shifting between 3.3 V MCUs and 5 V peripheral logic, or integration into mixed-voltage systems such as isolated ADC interfaces where analog and digital domains use different rails.
What is the maximum data rate supported by SI86SO20EE-IS4?
SI86SO20EE-IS4 supports up to 150 Mbps per channel. This high data rate is validated across the full operating temperature range (–40 to +125 °C) and supply range (2.25–5.5 V), making it suitable for real-time control loops, isolated SPI, and high-resolution encoder interfaces in automotive and industrial systems.
