Product details
Overview
SI86SS51BC-AS1R from Skyworks Solutions is a 5-channel SPI digital isolator with reinforced isolation, designed for isolated microcontroller-to-peripheral communication in high-noise 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 SI86SS51BC-AS1R datasheet, SI86SS51BC-AS1R pinout, SI86SS51BC-AS1R application, or SI86SS51BC-AS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its dedicated SPI channel mapping (MCSb/MCLK/MO/MI on Side A; SCSb/SCLK/SI/SO on Side B), isolated reset (RST/ISO_RST), fail-safe default output mode, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The SI86SS51BC-AS1R implements RF-based on/off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling robust noise immunity. Its architecture integrates five isolated channels: four for full-duplex SPI signaling (MOSI/MISO/CLK/CS) and one dedicated bidirectional reset path (RST → ISO_RST).
It supports independent 2.25–5.5 V supplies on both sides, includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.10–2.25 V thresholds per side, and provides fail-safe output behavior during power loss-configurable at ordering as default-high or default-low. The device meets IEC 60747-17 reinforced insulation requirements and achieves 100 kV/µs CMTI.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SI86SS51BC-AS1R is housed in a WB SOIC-16 package (wide-body, 10.3 mm creepage/clearance), supporting 6000 VRMS isolation with reinforced insulation per IEC 60747-17.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1, GND1 | Main side (Side A) supply | Power and ground for controller-side SPI interface (MCSb, MCLK, MO, MI, RST). |
| MCSb, MCLK, MO, MI, RST | Main side digital I/O | SPI chip select, clock, MOSI, MISO, and reset inputs/outputs - all referenced to VDD1/GND1. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Secondary side (Side B) supply | Independent power domain for isolated peripheral-side SPI signals and reset feedback. |
| SCSb, SCLK, SI, SO, ISO_RST | Secondary side digital I/O | Isolated SPI chip select, clock, MOSI, MISO, and reset output - referenced to VDD2/GND2. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation | Eliminates LED aging and temperature drift issues of optocouplers; no start-up initialization required. |
| Dedicated isolated reset channel | RST input on Side A drives ISO_RST output on Side B - enables synchronized fault recovery across isolation barrier. |
| Fail-safe output mode | Selectable at order time (default-high or default-low) - prevents undefined states during brownout or power sequencing. |
| Schmitt-trigger + CMOS inputs | Ensures clean signal capture in noisy environments (e.g., motor drives, inverters) without external hysteresis components. |
| Low-power sleep mode option | Not present in SI86SS51BC-AS1R - this variant lacks SMb pin; sleep mode is available only in Si86SMx family members. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPI isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM3481CRWZ | 4-channel SPI isolator (no dedicated reset); 25 Mbps max data rate; 2500 VRMS isolation; SOIC-16WB package. | Lacks isolated reset channel; lower speed and isolation rating limit use in EV traction or high-reliability medical systems. | Choose ADUM3481CRWZ only when 25 Mbps suffices and 2500 VRMS meets system safety requirements. |
| ISO7741FQDWRQ1 | 4-channel digital isolator (non-SPI-optimized); 100 Mbps; 5000 VRMS; AEC-Q100 Grade 1; SOIC-16. | No native SPI pin mapping or dedicated reset; requires external logic for SPI protocol handling; lower isolation than SI86SS51BC-AS1R. | Select ISO7741FQDWRQ1 if system uses general-purpose isolation and can implement SPI framing in firmware. |

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and certification status of SI86SS51BC-AS1R?
SI86SS51BC-AS1R provides 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 and is certified to IEC 60747-17. It also meets CSA 62368-1 and 60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1 requirements. These certifications validate its suitability for safety-critical applications including automotive battery management and medical diagnostics where reinforced insulation is mandated.
Does SI86SS51BC-AS1R support fail-safe output behavior during power loss?
Yes, SI86SS51BC-AS1R offers a selectable fail-safe mode (default-high or default-low) determined at ordering. When VDD1 or VDD2 drops below UVLO threshold, outputs assume the pre-configured state-preventing undefined logic levels in systems like motor controllers or medical devices during brownout conditions.
How is the reset functionality implemented in SI86SS51BC-AS1R?
SI86SS51BC-AS1R includes a dedicated isolated reset path: RST on Side A drives ISO_RST on Side B. This allows the controller to assert a hardware reset across the isolation barrier, enabling synchronized recovery of isolated peripherals such as ADCs or gate drivers without software intervention.
What are the supply voltage requirements for SI86SS51BC-AS1R?
SI86SS51BC-AS1R operates with independent 2.25–5.5 V supplies on both sides (VDD1 and VDD2). This dual-rail flexibility supports interfacing between 3.3 V MCUs and 5 V isolated peripherals, and eliminates need for external level-shifting circuitry in mixed-voltage SPI systems.
Is SI86SS51BC-AS1R compatible with standard SPI protocols without additional logic?
Yes, SI86SS51BC-AS1R is pin- and functionally optimized for standard SPI: MCSb/MCLK/MO/MI on Side A map directly to SCSb/SCLK/SI/SO on Side B. Its dedicated channel allocation and timing characteristics (10 ns propagation delay, 150 Mbps) ensure drop-in compatibility with existing SPI master-slave architectures.
