Product details
Overview
SI86SS41BE-AS2R from Skyworks Solutions is a 4-channel SPI digital isolator with reinforced isolation, designed for isolated microcontroller-to-peripheral communication 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 rails.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SS41BE-AS2R datasheet, SI86SS41BE-AS2R pinout, SI86SS41BE-AS2R application, or SI86SS41BE-AS2R equivalent, this device delivers verified SPI signal isolation with fail-safe default-low output, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and AEC-Q100 qualification for battery management and onboard charger designs.
Technical Context
The SI86SS41BE-AS2R implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity. Its dedicated SPI interface includes main-side pins (MCSb, MCLK, MO, MI) and isolated secondary-side pins (SCSb, SCLK, SI, SO), with no direction control or reset functionality-distinguishing it from Si86SS51 and Si86SQ44 variants.
It uses separate VDD1/GND1 and VDD2/GND2 supplies for galvanic isolation, incorporates undervoltage lockout (UVLO+ = 2.18 V, UVLO– = 2.05 V), and holds outputs low during power-up via 100 kΩ pulldown until stabilization. The device lacks sleep mode (SMb) and reset (RST/ISO_RST) pins, confirming its fixed SPI-only configuration per Figure 5 and Table 2.
Key Specifications

| VDD2, GND2 | Secondary-side power domain | Supplies peripheral-side SPI interface; electrically isolated from VDD1/GND1 |
| SCSb, SCLK, SI, SO | Isolated SPI signals | Galvanically isolated chip select, clock, MOSI, and MISO for peripheral side |
| NC (Pin 7) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPI isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI86SS41BD-AS2R | Same pinout and SPI function but default-high fail-safe output instead of default-low | Preferred where peripheral enable is active-high and safe state requires logic high during power loss | Select based on required default output polarity; both share identical timing, isolation, and AEC-Q100 qualification |
| ADUM3401BRWZ | 4-channel SPI isolator with 50 Mbps max rate, 25 ns propagation delay, and 2500 VRMS isolation | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial applications where 6000 VRMS and 150 Mbps are not required | Choose ADUM3401BRWZ only if lower isolation rating and reduced speed meet system safety and timing budgets |
Compared with SI86SS41BE-AS2R, SI86SS41BD-AS2R offers identical performance except for fail-safe polarity, while ADUM3401BRWZ trades isolation strength and speed for broader legacy compatibility and lower unit cost in non-automotive designs.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI86SS41BE-AS2R?
The SI86SS41BE-AS2R provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 for 1 minute, validated to IEC 60747-17 and CSA 62368-1 standards. This rating applies specifically to the WB SOIC-16 package and enables use in 600 VAC industrial and automotive systems where creepage and clearance must exceed 8.3 mm.
Does the SI86SS41BE-AS2R support SPI bidirectional data transfer?
Yes, the SI86SS41BE-AS2R supports full-duplex SPI communication via dedicated unidirectional channels: MO/MI handle main-side MOSI/MISO, while SI/SO handle isolated-side MOSI/MISO. Unlike Si86SQ44, it does not include direction control-its channel mapping is fixed for standard SPI topology.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the SI86SS41BE-AS2R?
Pin 7 of the SI86SS41BE-AS2R is designated NC (No Connect) per Table 2 and Figure 5. It is internally unconnected and must remain unpopulated or tied to GND in PCB layout to avoid parasitic coupling; no external circuitry should reference this pin.
How does the fail-safe mode operate in the SI86SS41BE-AS2R?
The SI86SS41BE-AS2R implements a default-low fail-safe mode: when VDD2 is powered but VDD1 is unpowered or below UVLO threshold, all isolated outputs (SCSb, SCLK, SI, SO) are driven low. This behavior is fixed by ordering code 'E' and prevents unintended peripheral activation during controller-side power loss.
Is the SI86SS41BE-AS2R compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels?
Yes, the SI86SS41BE-AS2R supports 2.25–5.5 V on both VDD1 and VDD2 rails independently. It accepts CMOS/Schmitt-trigger inputs across this range and drives outputs to VOH ≥ VDDx–0.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V, ensuring interoperability with 3.3 V MCUs and 5 V peripherals without level shifters.
