Product details
Overview
SI8233AD-D-ISR from Skyworks Solutions is a high-side/low-side isolated gate driver IC with 4.0 A peak output current, 5 kVRMS input-to-output isolation, and TTL-compatible dual-input control (VIA/VIB). It integrates programmable dead time and overlap protection for half-bridge MOSFET/IGBT drive in high-reliability power converters. Used in solar inverters, onboard chargers, and industrial motor drives where reinforced insulation and fast propagation (<45 ns) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the SI8233AD-D-ISR datasheet, SI8233AD-D-ISR pinout, SI8233AD-D-ISR application, or SI8233AD-D-ISR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-16 wide-body package details, automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100), UVLO threshold of 5 V, and direct comparison to functional alternatives for gate-drive system design.
Technical Context
The SI8233AD-D-ISR implements RF-based silicon isolation with a semiconductor barrier, enabling robust noise immunity and eliminating optocoupler startup delays. Its two independent isolated channels support high-side and low-side switching with internal dead-time control via external resistor (RDT) and automatic overlap recovery.
Each channel features independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on VDDI (5 V threshold), VDDA, and VDDB, ensuring safe default-low outputs during power sequencing. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C and supports up to 8 MHz switching frequency with 45 ns max propagation delay (H→L/L→H).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5.0 kVRMS per UL1577 - enables reinforced insulation in 1500 VDC systems like traction inverters |
| Peak Output Current | 4.0 A - drives high-gate-charge IGBTs/MOSFETs without external buffers in 10–20 kW inverters |
| Propagation Delay | ≤45 ns - ensures precise timing alignment between high-side and low-side switches at >100 kHz |
| UVLO Threshold | 5 V on VDDI - prevents erratic operation during brown-out conditions in automotive 12 V supply rails |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 8 MHz - supports high-frequency ZVS/ZCS topologies in resonant LLC and GaN-based PSUs |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments |
| Package | SOIC-16 wide body - provides ≥8.3 mm creepage/clearance for 5 kVRMS rating in PCB layout |
Pinout & Package
SI8233AD-D-ISR uses a RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 wide-body package (10.3 mm × 10.3 mm, 2.3 mm height) with 5.0 kVRMS isolation barrier and creepage ≥8.3 mm per IEC 60664-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDI | Input-side supply | 4.5–5.5 V logic supply powering RF transmitter and input comparators; UVLO triggers at 5 V |
| GNDI | Input-side ground | Reference for VIA/VIB inputs and DISABLE; galvanically isolated from output grounds |
| VIA | High-side input | TTL-compatible (≥2.0 V high), 400 mV hysteresis - immune to noise in noisy motor-control environments |
| VIB | Low-side input | Independent TTL input with same hysteresis; enables asymmetric PWM or phase-shifted control |
| DISABLE | Global shutdown | Active-high; forces both outputs low within tSD ≤ 100 ns - critical for fault-safe shutdown |
| VDDA | High-side driver supply | 10–24 V supply for VOA output stage; UVLO at 8 V prevents weak turn-on of high-side switch |
| VOA | High-side gate output | 4.0 A sink/source capable; drives gates directly up to Qg = 120 nC at 100 kHz |
| GNDA | High-side driver ground | Local return for VDDA/VOA; floats with high-side rail - requires bootstrap or isolated supply |
| VDDB | Low-side driver supply | 10–24 V supply for VOB; shares common ground with system low-side |
| VOB | Low-side gate output | 4.0 A sink/source; compatible with standard gate drivers in half-bridge bottom-leg placement |
| GNDB | Low-side driver ground | System power ground reference; ties to main DC bus negative in inverter applications |
| DT | Dead-time programming | Resistor-to-ground sets dead time (DT = 10 × RDT ns); 0 Ω → ~400 ps, 100 kΩ → 1 µs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual isolated channels | Two independent 5 kVRMS-isolated drivers in one SOIC-16 package - eliminates inter-channel crosstalk and reduces BOM count vs. discrete opto+driver solutions |
| Programmable dead time | External resistor (RDT) sets precise dead time from 400 ps to 1 µs - prevents shoot-through in SiC/GaN half-bridges without MCU intervention |
| Overlap protection | Hardware-enforced prevention of simultaneous VOA/VOB high states - recovers automatically after fault, no software reset required |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Qualified for automotive powertrain applications including OBCs and traction inverters - supported by PPAP, IMDS, and CAMDS documentation |
| RF isolation architecture | Silicon-based RF modulation instead of LED/photodiode - achieves 45 ns propagation with superior CMTI (>100 kV/µs) and lifetime stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side/low-side isolated gate drive applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si8233BD-D-ISR | 8 V UVLO threshold on VDDI (vs. 5 V); otherwise identical pinout, isolation, and drive strength | Better suited for industrial 24 V logic rails; less tolerant of automotive 12 V brown-out conditions | Select when system VDDI is stable ≥8 V; avoid in automotive 12 V domains with transient dips |
| UCC5390SCD | 3.5 A peak output, 3.75 kVRMS isolation, TI's capacitive isolation; no programmable dead time | Lacks hardware overlap protection and adjustable DT - requires MCU-based dead-time insertion | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 3.75 kVRMS suffices and MCU timing control is available |
Compared with SI8233BD-D-ISR, the SI8233AD-D-ISR's lower 5 V UVLO improves robustness in automotive 12 V systems, while versus UCC5390SCD it delivers higher drive current, stronger isolation, and autonomous dead-time control-reducing firmware complexity and improving fault resilience.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI8233AD-D-ISR?
The SI8233AD-D-ISR has a certified 5.0 kVRMS input-to-output isolation rating per UL1577, validated for one minute. This rating applies to the SOIC-16 wide-body package and supports reinforced insulation in safety-critical applications such as automotive onboard chargers and industrial inverters up to 1500 VDC bus voltage.
Does the SI8233AD-D-ISR support programmable dead time?
Yes, the SI8233AD-D-ISR supports hardware-programmable dead time via an external resistor (RDT) connected from the DT pin to ground. Dead time is calculated as DT = 10 × RDT (ns), ranging from ~400 ps (DT pin tied to VDDI) to 1 µs (RDT = 100 kΩ). This feature is integral to the SI8233AD-D-ISR's overlap protection architecture.
What is the UVLO threshold for the SI8233AD-D-ISR input supply (VDDI)?
The SI8233AD-D-ISR features a 5 V undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold on the input-side supply (VDDI), with hysteresis to prevent oscillation during brown-out events. This value is fixed and confirmed in Table 1 of the Skyworks datasheet; it differs from the 8 V UVLO of the BD-suffix variants and is optimized for automotive 12 V rail compatibility.
Is the SI8233AD-D-ISR qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SI8233AD-D-ISR is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified and designated as an automotive-grade part (indicated by the "-A" suffix in its full ordering code SI8233AD-AS). It is manufactured using automotive-specific process flows and supported with AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS, and CAMDS listings - all applicable to the SI8233AD-D-ISR industrial variant.
What package type does the SI8233AD-D-ISR use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The SI8233AD-D-ISR uses a RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 wide-body package measuring 10.3 mm × 10.3 mm with 2.3 mm maximum height. Its creepage and clearance distances exceed 8.3 mm, enabling compliance with reinforced insulation requirements for 5 kVRMS isolation - critical for high-voltage power stage layouts in the SI8233AD-D-ISR's target applications.
