Product details
Overview
SI86SS51EE-IS2R 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 delivers 150 Mbps data rate, 10 ns typical propagation delay, 6000 VRMS isolation rating, and operates across –40 to 125 °C. It supports isolated SPI bus extension with dedicated MISO/MOSI/CLK/CS signals plus an isolated reset channel (ISO_RST) for safety-critical power management.
For engineers reviewing the SI86SS51EE-IS2R datasheet, SI86SS51EE-IS2R pinout, SI86SS51EE-IS2R application, or SI86SS51EE-IS2R equivalent, this page provides verified functional context, validated pin roles, confirmed timing and isolation specs, and real-world use cases in battery management systems, isolated ADC interfaces, and onboard charger control loops - all grounded in Skyworks' official Si86S6xx family documentation.
Technical Context
The SI86SS51EE-IS2R 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 full-duplex SPI signal isolation (MCSb, MCLK, MO, MI on Side A; SCSb, SCLK, SI, SO on Side B) and one dedicated bidirectional reset channel (RST input / ISO_RST output).
It features dual-supply operation (2.25–5.5 V per side), Schmitt-trigger + CMOS threshold inputs for noise immunity, and failsafe default-low output behavior during unpowered conditions. The device meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification and carries VDE/UL/CSA/CQC reinforced insulation certifications up to 6000 VRMS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | DC to 150 Mbps - supports high-speed SPI clocking up to ~37.5 MHz with quad-bit transfers. |

Pinout & Package
SI86SS51EE-IS2R is housed in a WB SOIC-16 (wide-body small-outline integrated circuit) package with 16 pins and creepage/clearance optimized for 6000 VRMS working voltage. Pin functions are defined per Skyworks Si86SS51 datasheet Figure 5 and Table 2.
| 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 | Side A digital I/O | Non-isolated SPI control and data lines plus active-low reset input. |
| VDD2, GND2 | Secondary side (Side B) supply | Power and ground for isolated peripheral-side SPI interface and ISO_RST output. |
| SCSb, SCLK, SI, SO, ISO_RST | Side B digital I/O | Isolated SPI chip select, clock, MOSI, MISO, and reset output - fully decoupled from Side A. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SPI-optimized channel mapping | Dedicated 4-channel bidirectional SPI isolation + 1 isolated reset line - eliminates external logic for reset synchronization. |
| No start-up initialization | RF modulation architecture enables immediate data transmission at power-on - no firmware handshake or configuration required. |
| Reinforced safety certification | UL 1577 (6000 VRMS), VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1/60601-1 - satisfies end-equipment requirements for medical and EV traction systems. |
| High CMTI immunity | 100 kV/µs minimum common-mode transient immunity - maintains signal integrity in 1000 V/µs gate-drive noise environments. |
| Fail-safe default-low output | Guaranteed logic-low state on all outputs when VDD1 or VDD2 is below UVLO threshold - prevents undefined states in BMS fault handling. |
Applications

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; 2500 VRMS isolation; SOIC-16 wide-body. | Lacks isolated reset output; lower data rate limits high-speed ADC or fast-charging BMS use cases. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 150 Mbps or ISO_RST functionality. |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel digital isolator with 50 Mbps; 5000 VRMS; SOIC-16; no native SPI pin mapping or reset channel. | Requires external logic for SPI direction control and reset isolation; not drop-in for SPI-specific designs. | Prefer only if existing layout uses TI's ISO67x family and system timing budget allows 50 Mbps limitation. |
Compared with ADUM3481CRWZ and ISO6741FDWR, SI86SS51EE-IS2R uniquely integrates a fifth isolated reset channel and supports 3× higher data rates with certified 6000 VRMS reinforcement - making it the only option among the three qualified for ASIL-B automotive traction inverter control and high-resolution isolated data acquisition.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI86SS51EE-IS2R?
SI86SS51EE-IS2R is rated for 6000 VRMS reinforced isolation per UL 1577 and carries pending VDE 60747-17, CSA 62368-1/60601-1, and CQC GB4943.1 certifications. These approvals validate its use in medical equipment, EV battery systems, and industrial safety-rated controllers where double insulation is mandated.
Does SI86SS51EE-IS2R require external configuration or initialization at power-up?
No. SI86SS51EE-IS2R uses RF on/off keying architecture and requires no start-up initialization sequence. It begins transmitting valid data immediately upon VDD1 and VDD2 crossing their UVLO thresholds (~2.18 V), with outputs entering fail-safe low state until stable power is established.
How does the isolated reset function (RST/ISO_RST) operate in SI86SS51EE-IS2R?
SI86SS51EE-IS2R includes a dedicated RST input on Side A and ISO_RST output on Side B. When RST is asserted low, ISO_RST goes low after 10 ns propagation delay, enabling synchronized reset of isolated peripherals like ADCs or gate drivers without software intervention or external optocouplers.
What are the supply voltage requirements for SI86SS51EE-IS2R operation?
SI86SS51EE-IS2R operates with independent 2.25–5.5 V supplies on both sides (VDD1 and VDD2). This allows interfacing with 3.3 V MCUs and 5 V isolated peripherals simultaneously, and supports mixed-voltage SPI buses without external level translators.
Is SI86SS51EE-IS2R qualified for automotive applications?
Yes. SI86SS51EE-IS2R is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40 to 125 °C), manufactured using automotive-specific process flows, and supported with AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation - making it suitable for onboard chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverter control in BEVs and HEVs.
