Product details
Overview
SI86SS51EE-AS2R 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 flexibility.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SS51EE-AS2R datasheet, SI86SS51EE-AS2R pinout, SI86SS51EE-AS2R application, or SI86SS51EE-AS2R equivalent, key selection criteria include its dedicated isolated reset (ISO_RST) channel, fail-safe default-high output option, Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and compliance with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 and IEC 60747-17 reinforced insulation standards.
Technical Context
The SI86SS51EE-AS2R implements RF-based on-off keying across a semiconductor isolation barrier, eliminating startup initialization and enabling deterministic timing behavior. Its architecture integrates five independent isolation channels: four for SPI signal isolation (MCSb/MCLK/MO/MI → SCSb/SCLK/SI/SO) plus one bidirectional isolated reset path (RST → ISO_RST).
It supports fail-safe operation with default-high output during unpowered conditions on Side A, uses CMOS-compatible Schmitt-trigger inputs with 0.15×VDD hysteresis, and incorporates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.10–2.25 V thresholds and 100 kΩ weak pulldown on outputs during UVLO.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | DC to 150 Mbps - enables high-speed SPI communication without protocol translation or clock stretching |
| Propagation delay | 10 ns typical - ensures tight timing alignment between controller and isolated peripheral clocks |
| Isolation rating | 6000 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial safety standards (UL 1577, IEC 60747-17) |
| Supply voltage | 2.25–5.5 V per side - allows interoperability with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains on both sides of isolation barrier |
| Operating temperature | –40 to 125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments |
| Fail-safe mode | Default-high output - maintains safe logic state during power loss on main side, critical for fault-tolerant reset signaling |
| CMTI | 100 kV/µs minimum - rejects fast transient coupling across isolation barrier in noisy power electronics |
Pinout & Package
The SI86SS51EE-AS2R is housed in a WB SOIC-16 package (wide-body, 10.3 mm creepage), supporting 6000 VRMS isolation with reinforced insulation certification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Main side supply | Provides 2.25–5.5 V power to controller-side circuitry including MCSb, MCLK, MO, MI, and RST inputs |
| GND1 | Main side ground | Reference return path for all Side A signals; must be separated from GND2 by ≥8 mm PCB clearance |
| MCSb | SPI chip select input | Active-low enable for main-side SPI interface; synchronizes isolation of subsequent MCLK/MO transfers |
| MCLK | SPI clock input | Drives isolated SCLK output; edge-aligned transfer ensures deterministic latency across barrier |
| MO | Main-side MOSI input | Transmits controller data to isolated peripheral; converted to RF carrier and demodulated on Side B |
| RST | Reset input | Asynchronous active-low reset signal from controller; triggers isolated ISO_RST output with guaranteed timing |
| GND2 | Secondary side ground | Isolated reference for peripheral-side outputs SCSb, SCLK, SI, SO, and ISO_RST |
| SCSb | Isolated chip select | Active-low output replicating MCSb state; drives peripheral CS with full isolation and no ground loop |
| SCLK | Isolated SPI clock | Phase-matched replica of MCLK; enables synchronous peripheral read/write without jitter accumulation |
| ISO_RST | Isolated reset output | Dedicated channel for fault-tolerant reset propagation; remains valid even if other SPI lines are inactive |
| VDD2 | Secondary side supply | Independent 2.25–5.5 V rail for peripheral-side logic; enables level-shifting between non-matching voltage domains |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-startup initialization | RF modulation architecture eliminates boot-time delays or configuration sequences - device begins passing data immediately after VDD stabilization |
| Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs | 0.15×VDD hysteresis prevents false triggering from slow-rising or noisy edges in motor drive or power supply feedback paths |
| Tri-state outputs with enable | EN1/EN2 pins allow system-level control of output drivers - essential for bus sharing and hot-swap compatibility in modular PLC backplanes |
| Transient immunity | 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity - sustains reliable operation during IGBT switching transients in inverters and battery chargers |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Grade 1 (–40 to 125 °C) qualification confirms robustness for automotive onboard chargers and traction inverter control modules |

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 with integrated isolated DC-DC; no dedicated reset channel; 25 Mbps max data rate | Limited to lower-speed isolated sensor interfaces; unsuitable for high-bandwidth ADC or fast peripheral control | Select when isolated power is required and reset isolation is handled externally |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel digital isolator with 50 Mbps speed; no native SPI pin mapping; requires external logic for direction control | Needs additional glue logic for SPI protocol handling; lacks fail-safe default-high output option | Select for cost-sensitive general-purpose isolation where SPI optimization is not required |
Compared with ADUM3481CRWZ and ISO6741FDWR, the SI86SS51EE-AS2R provides higher bandwidth (150 Mbps vs ≤50 Mbps), native SPI pinout eliminating external logic, and a dedicated isolated reset channel - making it optimal for time-critical automotive and industrial control loops requiring deterministic fault response.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of the SI86SS51EE-AS2R?
The SI86SS51EE-AS2R 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 are fully documented in Skyworks' official safety reports and apply directly to the SI86SS51EE-AS2R part number in its WB SOIC-16 package configuration.
Does the SI86SS51EE-AS2R support fail-safe operation, and how is it configured?
Yes, the SI86SS51EE-AS2R supports selectable fail-safe mode with default-high output during unpowered conditions on Side A. This is implemented via ordering option 'EE', which configures the device to assert logic high on all outputs when VDD1 falls below UVLO threshold - a feature confirmed in Table 4 and Section 3.3 of the official datasheet for SI86SS51EE-AS2R.
How does the isolated reset functionality work in the SI86SS51EE-AS2R?
The SI86SS51EE-AS2R includes a dedicated RST input on Side A and corresponding ISO_RST output on Side B. When RST is asserted low, ISO_RST transitions low within 10 ns typical propagation delay. This channel operates independently of the SPI data channels and retains validity during power sequencing - a design feature explicitly defined in Figure 5 and Table 2 for SI86SS51EE-AS2R.
What are the supply voltage requirements for SI86SS51EE-AS2R, and can Side A and Side B use different voltages?
The SI86SS51EE-AS2R supports independent 2.25–5.5 V supplies on VDD1 and VDD2, enabling true level-shifting between 3.3 V MCU logic and 5 V peripheral interfaces. This dual-supply flexibility is specified in Table 8 and validated across temperature in Table 9 - a core capability of the SI86SS51EE-AS2R architecture.
Is the SI86SS51EE-AS2R qualified for automotive applications, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, the SI86SS51EE-AS2R is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (–40 to 125 °C), with full PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS support. This qualification applies specifically to the 'AS2R' suffix variant and is documented in Skyworks' automotive-grade product release notes and test reports for SI86SS51EE-AS2R.
