Product details
Overview
SI86SQ44BB-AUR from Skyworks Solutions is a 5-channel, bidirectional QSPI digital isolator with reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation, 150 Mbps data rate, and configurable channel direction via DIR/ISO_DIR pins. It operates across 2.25–5.5 V supplies and supports industrial and automotive systems requiring isolated high-speed serial bus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SQ44BB-AUR datasheet, SI86SQ44BB-AUR pinout, SI86SQ44BB-AUR application, or SI86SQ44BB-AUR equivalent, this device delivers precise timing (10 ns propagation delay), fail-safe output control, and robust noise immunity (100 kV/µs CMTI) for QSPI memory interface isolation in battery management and motor control designs.
Technical Context
The SI86SQ44BB-AUR implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic signal transfer without clock recovery. Its architecture integrates four reversible I/O channels and one dedicated forward-direction DIR input with isolated ISO_DIR output.
Direction control is managed by the DIR pin on Side A, which configures all four data channels simultaneously for A→B or B→A flow; EN_A and EN_B provide independent tristate enable per side. The device supports fail-safe default-high or default-low outputs during unpowered conditions and includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.18 V rising threshold and 131 mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports full-speed QSPI memory read/write cycles without protocol translation. |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 60747-17 for safety-critical systems. |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables tight timing budgets in high-frequency digital interfaces like QSPI clock domains. |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V logic families on both isolated sides. |
| CMTI | ≥100 kV/µs - ensures reliable operation in noisy motor drive and inverter environments with fast dv/dt transients. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
| Fail-safe mode | Selectable default-high or default-low output - prevents undefined states during power sequencing in BMS and OBC applications. |
Pinout & Package
SI86SQ44BB-AUR is housed in a WB SOIC-16 package (wide-body, 10.3 mm creepage/clearance), supporting 6000 VRMS isolation. Pin assignments are validated per Figure 6 and Table 3 of Skyworks datasheet 206553B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, VDD2 | Side A / Side B supply | Independent 2.25–5.5 V rails; require 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypass capacitors per side for stable RF modulation. |
| GND1, GND2 | Side A / Side B ground | Galvanically separated reference planes; must not be shorted to maintain isolation integrity. |
| A1–A4, B1–B4 | Reversible I/O channels | Four bidirectional data lines; direction set globally by DIR pin - no per-channel direction registers needed. |
| DIR | Direction control input | Active-high signal on Side A that configures all four channels for A→B (H) or B→A (L) flow. |
| ISO_DIR | Isolated direction status | Provides synchronized copy of DIR state on Side B for coordinated peripheral-side logic decisions. |
| EN_A, EN_B | Side-enable inputs | Active-high enables transmitter/receiver circuits per side; low state forces outputs to high-impedance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift issues of optocouplers; achieves 10 ns propagation delay with no start-up delay. |
| Configurable QSPI direction | Single DIR pin controls all four data channels, simplifying PCB routing and firmware for bidirectional flash memory access. |
| Reinforced safety certification | UL 1577 (6000 VRMS), VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1 - enables direct use in medical and EV traction systems. |
| High-noise immunity | 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity and Schmitt-trigger inputs reject >36 ns glitches without external filtering. |
| Fail-safe output control | Ordering option selects default-high or default-low output state during VDD undervoltage, preventing undefined MCU communication. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar QSPI isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6401ARWZ | 4-channel, fixed-direction isolator; no DIR pin or QSPI-specific configuration; 50 Mbps max data rate. | Lacks bidirectional channel control; requires external logic for QSPI half-duplex direction management. | Choose when only unidirectional isolation is needed and lower speed suffices. |
| ISO6741QDWR | 4-channel, fixed-direction isolator; 50 Mbps; no integrated DIR/ISO_DIR; requires external direction control circuitry. | Not optimized for QSPI bus topology; adds layout complexity and timing uncertainty vs. SI86SQ44BB-AUR's native support. | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-QSPI applications where direction is static and speed ≤50 Mbps. |
Compared with ADUM6401ARWZ and ISO6741QDWR, SI86SQ44BB-AUR uniquely integrates QSPI-aware direction control, 150 Mbps bandwidth, and reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation in a single WB SOIC-16 package-reducing BOM count and improving timing predictability in high-speed isolated memory interfaces.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI86SQ44BB-AUR?
The SI86SQ44BB-AUR provides reinforced 6000 VRMS isolation per UL 1577 for 1 minute, validated per IEC 60747-17 and certified by VDE, CSA, and CQC. This rating applies to the WB SOIC-16 package and supports safety-critical applications including automotive onboard chargers and medical power supplies.
How does the DIR pin function in the SI86SQ44BB-AUR?
The DIR pin on the SI86SQ44BB-AUR is a Side A input that globally configures all four bidirectional channels: high sets A→B flow, low sets B→A flow. Its state is replicated on the ISO_DIR output on Side B, enabling synchronized direction control across the isolation barrier without additional signaling lines.
Does the SI86SQ44BB-AUR require external startup initialization?
No, the SI86SQ44BB-AUR requires no startup initialization. Its RF-based modulation architecture enables immediate deterministic operation after VDD exceeds UVLO+ (2.18 V). Outputs follow inputs within 0.3 ms of power-up, with 100 kΩ weak pulldowns holding states low until stabilization.
What are the supply voltage requirements for SI86SQ44BB-AUR operation?
The SI86SQ44BB-AUR operates with independent 2.25–5.5 V supplies on both VDD1 (Side A) and VDD2 (Side B). Each side requires local 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF bulk bypass capacitors. Operation outside this range triggers undervoltage lockout, holding outputs in fail-safe state.
Is the SI86SQ44BB-AUR qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SI86SQ44BB-AUR is AEC-Q100 qualified and supports AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation. It is manufactured using automotive-specific process flows and includes IMDS/CAMDS compliance-making it suitable for onboard chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverter control modules.
