Product details
Overview
SI8220CB-D-ISR from Skyworks Solutions is a 2.5 A peak-output isolated gate driver with opto-emulator input, 5.0 kVRMS reinforced isolation (UL1577), 60 ns max propagation delay, and –40 to +125 °C operation. It replaces HCPL-3120/HCPL-0302 in IGBT/MOSFET gate drive circuits for industrial inverters and UPS systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI8220CB-D-ISR datasheet, SI8220CB-D-ISR pinout, SI8220CB-D-ISR application, or SI8220CB-D-ISR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.0 kVRMS isolation rating, 2.5 A sink/source capability, SOIC-8 narrow-body package, UVLO hysteresis of 1000 mV (12.5 V threshold), and CMTI of 30 kV/µs - all critical for high-reliability motor control and power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The SI8220CB-D-ISR implements RF-based on/off keying across a silicon isolation barrier, eliminating LED aging and temperature drift inherent in optocouplers. Its input emulates an LED but requires only 5–20 mA forward current, with propagation delay independent of drive level.
It features under-voltage lockout with 12.5 V turn-on threshold (VDDUV+ = 12.4–14.8 V) and 1000 mV hysteresis, plus robust transient immunity (30 kV/µs CMTI). The device operates with VDD = 6.5–24 V and supports gate drive for both N-channel and P-channel power switches.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5.0 kVRMS (UL1577, 1 min); enables reinforced insulation in 600 VRMS mains-connected systems per IEC 60950-1/61010-1. |
| Peak Output Current | 2.5 A sink/source; drives high-capacitance IGBTs and GaN FETs without external buffers in SMPS and motor drives. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤60 ns (tPLH), ≤40 ns (tPHL); tight timing enables >1 MHz switching with minimal dead-time uncertainty. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 30 kV/µs; maintains signal integrity in noisy high-dv/dt environments like inverter leg commutation. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 6.5 V to 24 V; compatible with standard 12 V/15 V gate drive rails and supports wide-input industrial supplies. |
| UVLO Threshold | 12.5 V nominal (VDDUV+ = 12.4–14.8 V, hysteresis = 1000 mV); prevents erratic output during brown-out conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C ambient; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, suitable for under-hood and industrial cabinet use. |
Pinout & Package
SI8220CB-D-ISR is housed in an ROHS-compliant SOIC-8 narrow-body package (5.3 mm width, 5.0 mm body length) with creepage/clearance ≥4.01 mm / 4.9 mm per IEC 60664-1.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS | Input-side ground reference; must be connected to controller-side GND, not power-stage ground. |
| 2 | VDD | Driver-side supply input (6.5–24 V); requires local 0.1 µF + 10 µF decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| 3 | VO | Output driver terminal; sources/sinks up to 2.5 A to gate of power switch; connects directly to MOSFET/IGBT gate. |
| 4 | VSS | Input-side ground (redundant pin); ties to Pin 1 for low-inductance return path. |
| 5 | CATHODE | LED-emulator cathode; driven low by MCU/FPGA GPIO or open-drain controller to enable output. |
| 6 | ANODE | LED-emulator anode; connects to VDD via current-limiting resistor (R1) to set IF = 5–20 mA. |
| 7 | NC | No connect; internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to VSS per layout guidelines. |
| 8 | NC | No connect; internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to VSS per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based isolation barrier | Eliminates LED degradation and temperature drift; ensures stable propagation delay and CMTI over lifetime and temperature. |
| Input current optimization | 5–20 mA drive range (vs. 10–25 mA for HCPL-3120); reduces MCU I/O loading and improves system efficiency. |
| Tight unit-to-unit matching | 14× tighter propagation delay variation than optocoupled drivers; simplifies multi-channel timing synchronization. |
| Reinforced safety certification | UL1577 (5 kVRMS), VDE 0884-5 (891 Vpeak VIORM), CSA 5A, CQC GB4943.1 - certified for industrial and medical applications. |
| High-noise immunity startup | UVLO with 1000 mV hysteresis and 40 µs startup time ensures clean, glitch-free output enable after power ramp-up. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si8230BD-D-IS | Same SOIC-8 package, 2.5 A output, but 3.75 kVRMS isolation and 8 V UVLO threshold; lower CMTI (25 kV/µs). | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 3.75 kVRMS suffices and 12.5 V UVLO is not required. | Select when lower isolation rating and reduced UVLO hysteresis are acceptable trade-offs for BOM cost reduction. |
| ACPL-332J-000E | Optocoupled 2.5 A driver (Avago/Broadcom); 5 kVRMS isolation, but 200 ns propagation delay and higher IF(ON) = 16 mA. | Legacy drop-in replacement where RF-based isolation is not mandated; limited lifetime stability and temperature drift. | Choose only for backward compatibility in existing opto-based designs; avoid for new high-reliability or high-frequency designs. |
Compared with SI8220CB-D-ISR, Si8230BD-D-IS offers lower isolation and UVLO headroom but identical package and drive strength, while ACPL-332J-000E provides legacy opto compatibility at the expense of timing precision, aging stability, and CMTI - making SI8220CB-D-ISR optimal for next-generation high-efficiency, high-reliability power systems.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI8220CB-D-ISR?
The SI8220CB-D-ISR is rated for 5.0 kVRMS isolation per UL1577 (1 minute test), with production-tested withstand voltage of 6.0 kVRMS. This corresponds to 891 Vpeak working voltage (VIORM) under IEC 60747-5-5, qualifying it for reinforced insulation in 600 VRMS mains-connected equipment per IEC 60950-1 and IEC 61010-1.
Can the SI8220CB-D-ISR replace HCPL-3120 directly in existing PCB layouts?
Yes - the SI8220CB-D-ISR uses the same SOIC-8 narrow-body footprint and pinout as HCPL-3120, enabling drop-in replacement without PCB changes. However, verify that VDD remains ≤24 V and adjust input current-limiting resistor R1 to ensure IF stays within 5–20 mA, as the SI8220CB-D-ISR requires less drive current than the HCPL-3120.
What is the UVLO behavior of the SI8220CB-D-ISR?
The SI8220CB-D-ISR features under-voltage lockout with a nominal 12.5 V turn-on threshold (VDDUV+ = 12.4–14.8 V) and 1000 mV hysteresis. Output VO remains low until VDD exceeds VDDUV+, then follows input state. During power-down, VO is forced low when VDD falls below VDDUV– (11.6–13.8 V), preventing erratic switching near supply collapse.
Does the SI8220CB-D-ISR support high-frequency switching above 1 MHz?
Yes - the SI8220CB-D-ISR achieves ≤60 ns propagation delay and ≤20 ns output rise/fall times (2.5 A, CL = 200 pF), enabling reliable operation at switching frequencies up to 2 MHz. Its RF-based architecture ensures consistent timing performance independent of input drive current or temperature, unlike optocouplers.
Is the SI8220CB-D-ISR qualified for automotive applications?
The SI8220CB-D-ISR is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1, –40 °C to +125 °C), making it suitable for automotive under-hood applications such as electric power steering (EPS) and onboard chargers. Its 5.0 kVRMS isolation, 30 kV/µs CMTI, and robust UVLO support functional safety requirements in ASIL-B systems when used with appropriate system-level diagnostics.
