Product details
Overview
SI86SQ44BE-IS2 from Skyworks Solutions is a 5-channel reinforced digital isolator with quad-SPI (QSPI) direction control, designed for isolated high-speed bidirectional data buses in industrial and automotive systems. It supports up to 150 Mbps data rate, features 10 ns typical propagation delay, 6000 VRMS isolation rating, and operates across –40 to +125 °C with 2.25–5.5 V dual-supply flexibility. It enables isolated QSPI memory interfaces in battery management and motor control.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SQ44BE-IS2 datasheet, SI86SQ44BE-IS2 pinout, SI86SQ44BE-IS2 application, or SI86SQ44BE-IS2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its configurable channel direction (DIR/ISO_DIR), dual-side enable (EN_A/EN_B), fail-safe output mode, and compliance with IEC 60747-17 and UL 1577 for reinforced insulation in safety-critical designs.
Technical Context
The SI86SQ44BE-IS2 implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and providing immunity to magnetic fields and EMI. Its architecture integrates four bidirectional channels and one dedicated forward-direction DIR_IN/ISO_DIR pair, enabling half-duplex QSPI bus isolation without external logic.
It supports independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and reset per side (VDD1/VDD2), with 100 kΩ weak pulldown on unpowered I/Os and configurable fail-safe output state (high/low). Sleep mode is not implemented in this variant-only EN_A/EN_B tristate control is active.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-throughput QSPI flash access without timing bottlenecks |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - enables tight timing margins in real-time control loops |
| 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 |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |
| CMTI | 100 kV/µs minimum - ensures robust operation in noisy motor drive and inverter environments |
| Fail-safe mode | Selectable default output (high/low) during power loss - prevents undefined states in safety-critical peripherals |
Pinout & Package
SI86SQ44BE-IS2 is housed in a wide-body SOIC-16 (WB SOIC-16) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin count and layout conform to JEDEC MS-013AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, VDD2 | Side A / Side B supply | Independent 2.25–5.5 V power domains; require local 0.1 µF + 10 µF bypassing |
| GND1, GND2 | Side A / Side B ground | Galvanically separated reference planes; must not be shorted externally |
| A1–A4, B1–B4 | Bidirectional I/O channels | Four isolated signal paths; direction controlled globally by DIR pin |
| DIR | Direction control input | High = A→B flow; low = B→A flow; sets all four bidirectional channels simultaneously |
| ISO_DIR | Isolated direction status output | Provides isolated copy of DIR state on Side B for synchronized peripheral control |
| EN_A, EN_B | Side A / Side B output enable | Active-high; drives corresponding side's outputs to high-impedance when low |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation architecture | Eliminates startup initialization and provides superior CMTI vs. optocouplers or capacitive isolators |
| Configurable QSPI direction control | Single DIR pin manages bidirectional data flow across four channels, reducing PCB routing complexity |
| Reinforced safety certification | UL 1577 (6000 VRMS), VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1/60601-1 - enables system-level safety compliance |
| Dual-supply UVLO and reset | Independent monitoring per side ensures deterministic behavior during asymmetric power sequencing |
| Schmitt-trigger + CMOS inputs | High noise immunity with 0.15×VDD hysteresis; compatible with slow-edge or noisy microcontroller GPIOs |
| Fail-safe output option | Factory-configured default high or low output during VDD loss - prevents latch-up or undefined logic states |
Applications
| Battery Management System (BMS) | Industrial PLC I/O Module |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-CMTI isolator for bidirectional status/control exchange (e.g., fault reporting, dead-time adjustment). Use Value: 100 kV/µs CMTI and 10 ns propagation delay ensure timing integrity in fast-switching SiC/GaN inverter control loops. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM3481BRWZ | 4-channel, fixed-direction (2 forward + 2 reverse); no DIR pin; 25 Mbps max data rate | Lacks QSPI direction control; suitable only for unidirectional or pre-wired bidirectional links | Choose when lower speed and simpler control suffice; not drop-in due to pinout and functional mismatch |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel, reinforced isolation (5000 VRMS); no direction control; 50 Mbps max data rate | Requires external logic for bidirectional bus control; lower CMTI (85 kV/µs) | Consider for cost-sensitive industrial I/O where QSPI speed and direction agility are not required |
Compared with ADUM3481BRWZ and ISO6741FDWR, SI86SQ44BE-IS2 uniquely delivers integrated QSPI direction control at 150 Mbps with 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation-enabling single-chip bidirectional memory bus isolation where timing, safety, and routing efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI86SQ44BE-IS2?
SI86SQ44BE-IS2 is rated for 6000 VRMS isolation per UL 1577 for 1 minute and carries reinforced insulation certification per IEC 60747-17, VDE 62368-1, and CSA 60601-1. These approvals are documented in Skyworks' official safety reports and apply directly to the SI86SQ44BE-IS2 ordering part number in WB SOIC-16 packaging.
How does the DIR and ISO_DIR functionality work in SI86SQ44BE-IS2?
In SI86SQ44BE-IS2, the DIR pin (pin 7) sets global signal direction: high configures A→B flow, low configures B→A flow. ISO_DIR (pin 9) replicates that state on Side B, allowing synchronized peripheral control. Both pins operate at CMOS levels and require no external pull resistors beyond recommended 10 kΩ pull-ups for EN_A/EN_B.
Does SI86SQ44BE-IS2 support sleep mode or low-power standby?
No-SI86SQ44BE-IS2 does not implement sleep mode (SMb). It supports only tristate output control via EN_A and EN_B pins. Sleep mode is available only in SM-series variants (e.g., Si86SM42); SI86SQ44BE-IS2 is optimized for QSPI direction control and high-speed operation, not ultra-low quiescent current.
What are the supply voltage and bypass capacitor requirements for SI86SQ44BE-IS2?
SI86SQ44BE-IS2 requires 2.25–5.5 V on both VDD1 and VDD2, with independent 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF bulk capacitors placed adjacent to each VDD/GND pair. This dual-bypass network suppresses high-frequency switching noise and ensures stable operation at 150 Mbps data rates.
Can SI86SQ44BE-IS2 be used in AEC-Q100 automotive applications?
Yes-SI86SQ44BE-IS2 is AEC-Q100 qualified Grade 1 (–40 to +125 °C) and manufactured using automotive-specific process flows. It supports PPAP documentation, IMDS/CAMDS compliance, and is approved for use in onboard chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverters per automotive OEM requirements.
