Product details
Overview
SI82391AB-IS1R from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel isolated gate driver IC designed for high-side/low-side MOSFET and IGBT control in power converters. It delivers 4.0 A peak output current per channel, operates with 2.5 V–5.5 V input supply (VDDI), supports up to 5 kVRMS isolation, and features enhanced UVLO with no status pin - confirmed for SOIC-16 narrow-body package. It is used in solar inverters and motor drives requiring robust noise immunity and fail-safe shutdown.
For engineers reviewing the SI82391AB-IS1R datasheet, SI82391AB-IS1R pinout, SI82391AB-IS1R application, or SI82391AB-IS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 6 V output UVLO threshold, absence of UVLO status feedback, 1 ms safe startup delay, programmable dead time (10–200 ns), and compatibility with independent VIA/VIB inputs in industrial-grade operation.
Technical Context
The SI82391AB-IS1R implements RF-based on/off keying across a silicon isolation barrier, enabling high CMTI (100 kV/µs) and low propagation delay (30 ns). Its dual-channel architecture supports independent high-side and low-side gate drive with separate VIA and VIB logic inputs, and includes EN (active-high) for system-level safety control.
It integrates enhanced output UVLO monitoring per channel, automatic low-default behavior during VDDI power-down, and deglitch filtering. Unlike Si82390/1/3 variants with UVLO status feedback, SI82391AB-IS1R omits the RDY pin - confirmed by ordering guide Table 1.1 and truth table 2.1 - making it suitable for applications where status reporting is unnecessary but deterministic fail-safe behavior is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS withstand voltage - enables reinforced insulation per IEC62368-1 and UL 1577 for mains-connected power systems. |
| Peak Output Current | 4.0 A per channel - sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge high-Qg MOSFETs and IGBTs in <100 kHz switching applications. |
| Input Supply Range | VDDI = 2.5 V–5.5 V - compatible with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGA I/O without level-shifting. |
| Propagation Delay | 30 ns - ensures tight timing control in high-frequency PWM schemes and reduces dead-time uncertainty. |
| Output UVLO Threshold | 6 V - triggers automatic low-state output when either VDDA or VDDB falls below 6 V, preventing partial turn-on of power switches. |
| Startup Delay | 1 ms typical - guarantees monotonic, glitch-free output initialization after VDDI stabilization, critical for transformer-coupled topologies. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - validated for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating. |

| VIB | Channel B input | TTL-compatible high-true logic input controlling VOB; referenced to GNDI. |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high global enable: forces both outputs low when deasserted; requires 100 kΩ pull-down to GNDI. |
| VDDI | Input-side supply | Powers internal logic and isolator transmitter; 2.5 V–5.5 V range with UVLO at 2.3 V (VDDIUV–). |
| GNDI | Input-side ground | Reference for VIA, VIB, EN, and VDDI; galvanically isolated from power-side grounds. |
| VDDA | Channel A driver supply | Powers high-side or low-side output stage A; 10–24 V range with 6 V UVLO threshold. |
| VOA | Channel A output | 4.0 A capable push-pull driver output; defaults low if VDDI unpowered or VDDA < 6 V. |
| GND1 | Channel A ground | Return path for VDDA and VOA; isolated from GNDI and GND2. |
| VDDB | Channel B driver supply | Powers high-side or low-side output stage B; 10–24 V range with 6 V UVLO threshold. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual isolated gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI82391AD-IS | SOIC-16 wide-body package (10.3 mm width); identical electrical specs and UVLO configuration. | Requires larger PCB footprint but offers higher creepage (8.0 mm) for enhanced safety in 300–600 VAC systems. | Select SI82391AD-IS when reinforced insulation clearance >7.5 mm is mandated by end-equipment safety standards. |
| SI82391AB-IS1 | Same SOIC-16 narrow-body package and electrical behavior, but supplied in cut-tape (not tape-and-reel). | Identical performance; differs only in packaging format - SI82391AB-IS1R is reel-packaged for automated SMT placement. | Choose SI82391AB-IS1R for high-volume production lines requiring tape-and-reel feeding; SI82391AB-IS1 for prototyping or low-volume hand assembly. |
Compared with SI82391AD-IS, SI82391AB-IS1R saves 2.8 mm board width and reduces thermal resistance by 5 °C/W, while matching all timing, UVLO, and isolation specs - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial inverters. Against SI82391AB-IS1, the "R" suffix confirms verified tape-and-reel integrity for J-STD-033 compliance in moisture-sensitive SMT processes.

FAQ
What is the UVLO behavior of SI82391AB-IS1R during power-up?
During power-up, SI82391AB-IS1R holds both VOA and VOB low until VDDI exceeds its UVLO threshold (2.3 V) and remains stable for 1 ms. After this safe startup delay, outputs follow VIA/VIB states - ensuring no spurious gate pulses occur before internal biasing stabilizes. This behavior is intrinsic to SI82391AB-IS1R and does not require external RC timing networks.
Does SI82391AB-IS1R support bootstrap power configurations for high-side drivers?
No - SI82391AB-IS1R must not be used with bootstrap power supplies. Its enhanced UVLO logic requires independent VDDA and VDDB rails; bootstrap circuits cause shared supply coupling that prevents proper UVLO detection and may force unintended low outputs. SI82391AB-IS1R requires fully isolated, independently regulated driver supplies for each channel.
How does the absence of an RDY pin affect system design with SI82391AB-IS1R?
The absence of an RDY pin in SI82391AB-IS1R eliminates status feedback to the controller, simplifying firmware and reducing GPIO usage. System designers rely on the guaranteed 1 ms startup delay and deterministic fail-safe outputs instead of polling readiness - making SI82391AB-IS1R ideal for real-time control loops where latency predictability outweighs diagnostic visibility.
What is the maximum recommended switching frequency for SI82391AB-IS1R when driving a 100 nC IGBT?
At 12 V VDDA/VDDB and 22 Ω external gate resistors, SI82391AB-IS1R supports up to 350 kHz switching with a 100 nC IGBT while maintaining junction temperature below 150 °C at 25 °C ambient. This is derived from the datasheet's power dissipation equation and thermal resistance (θja = 59 °C/W), confirming SI82391AB-IS1R's suitability for high-frequency industrial SMPS designs.
Is SI82391AB-IS1R pin-compatible with other Si8239x variants like SI82390AB-IS1?
No - SI82391AB-IS1R is not pin-compatible with SI82390AB-IS1. While both use SOIC-16 narrow-body packages, SI82390AB-IS1 includes an RDY pin (Pin 15) for UVLO status feedback, whereas SI82391AB-IS1 leaves Pin 15 as NC. Swapping them requires PCB layout revision and firmware updates to remove RDY polling logic.
