Product details
Overview
SI86SQ44EE-AS2R from Skyworks Solutions is a 5-channel, bidirectional digital isolator with QSPI bus support, featuring four reversible data channels and one dedicated direction-control channel (DIR/ISO_DIR), 150 Mbps data rate, 10 ns typical propagation delay, and 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation rated per IEC 60747-17. It operates across 2.25–5.5 V supplies and supports industrial motor control and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SQ44EE-AS2R datasheet, SI86SQ44EE-AS2R pinout, SI86SQ44EE-AS2R application, or SI86SQ44EE-AS2R equivalent, key selection criteria include its configurable signal direction (A↔B), tristate enable control (EN_A/EN_B), fail-safe default output mode, and compatibility with quad-SPI memory interfaces requiring isolated half-duplex data transfer.
Technical Context
The SI86SQ44EE-AS2R implements RF-based on-off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity (100 kV/µs CMTI). Its DIR input sets unidirectional flow (A→B or B→A), while ISO_DIR provides an isolated copy of that state for synchronized side-B logic.
Each side features independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO+ = 2.18 V, UVLO– = 2.05 V) and reset thresholds (RSTB± ≈ 1.7 V), ensuring deterministic behavior during power sequencing. The device supports Schmitt-trigger CMOS inputs and tri-state outputs with 50 Ω nominal output impedance for controlled-impedance PCB routing.
Key Specifications

| A1–A4, B1–B4 | Reversible I/O channels | Four bidirectional data paths configured by DIR pin for QSPI DQ0–DQ3 isolation |
| DIR | Direction control input | Active-high signal selects A→B (high) or B→A (low) data flow; no internal pull-up/down |
| ISO_DIR | Isolated direction output | Provides synchronized, isolated copy of DIR state to Side B for coordinated peripheral logic |
| EN_A, EN_B | Side-A/B output enable | Active-high enables transmitter/receiver; low places outputs in high-impedance state |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM3481ARWZ | 4-channel, fixed unidirectional (2 forward + 2 reverse); no DIR pin; max 25 Mbps | Lacks QSPI-direction control and speed for high-bandwidth memory interfaces | Choose ADUM3481ARWZ only for cost-sensitive, lower-speed industrial I/O where bidirectionality is managed externally |
| ISO6741QDWR | 4-channel, unidirectional only; no direction control; 50 Mbps max; 3000 VRMS isolation | Insufficient isolation rating and bandwidth for automotive traction inverter control | Use ISO6741QDWR in non-safety-critical 24 V PLC modules where 3000 VRMS suffices and direction is static |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of SI86SQ44EE-AS2R and which standards does it meet?
SI86SQ44EE-AS2R provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 (1 minute), certified to IEC 60747-17, CSA 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1. This rating is validated for the WB SOIC-16 package and supports end-equipment compliance in industrial and automotive applications up to 1000 VAC working voltage.
How does the DIR and ISO_DIR functionality work in SI86SQ44EE-AS2R?
In SI86SQ44EE-AS2R, the DIR pin (pin 7) is a side-A input that configures all four data channels for A→B (DIR = high) or B→A (DIR = low) flow. ISO_DIR (pin 9) is a side-B output that replicates the DIR state across the isolation barrier, enabling synchronized logic on the isolated side without additional isolators.
Does SI86SQ44EE-AS2R require external start-up initialization or configuration?
No, SI86SQ44EE-AS2R requires no start-up initialization. It begins operating immediately upon VDD1 and VDD2 exceeding UVLO+ (2.18 V), with deterministic output behavior governed by fail-safe settings and enable pin states. The RF modulation architecture eliminates boot ROM or handshake sequences.
What are the supply voltage requirements for SI86SQ44EE-AS2R and how do they affect interoperability?
SI86SQ44EE-AS2R operates from 2.25 V to 5.5 V on both VDD1 and VDD2, allowing direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripherals without level shifters. This dual-voltage flexibility supports mixed-signal systems such as isolated ADC interfaces and QSPI flash memory links in automotive ECUs.
Can SI86SQ44EE-AS2R be used in AEC-Q100 qualified automotive applications?
Yes, SI86SQ44EE-AS2R is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1, –40 to +125 °C) and built using automotive-specific manufacturing flows. It supports PPAP documentation, IMDS/CAMDS reporting, and is approved for use in onboard chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverters per automotive functional safety requirements.
