Product details
Overview
SI82391BD-IS3 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, operates with 2.5 V–5.5 V input supply (VDDI), supports up to 5 kVRMS isolation, and features enhanced output UVLO with status feedback. It is used in industrial inverters, motor drives, and isolated DC-DC supplies requiring robust noise immunity and fail-safe operation.
For engineers reviewing the SI82391BD-IS3 datasheet, SI82391BD-IS3 pinout, SI82391BD-IS3 application, or SI82391BD-IS3 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world application mappings, safety-critical feature implementation details, and validated alternative options for high-reliability power stage design.
Technical Context
The SI82391BD-IS3 implements RF-based silicon isolation with on/off keying modulation across a reinforced barrier, enabling CMTI ≥100 kV/µs and eliminating startup initialization requirements. Its dual independent inputs (VIA/VIB) drive isolated outputs (VOA/VOB) with programmable dead time (10–200 ns) and deglitch filtering.
It integrates independent UVLO monitoring per driver side (VDDA/VDDB), with fault feedback to the input side that forces both outputs low upon either supply undervoltage - a behavior confirmed for Si82391-series devices and critical for transformer-coupled topologies. The EN pin (active-high) provides hardware-level shutdown with fail-safe default-low behavior during VDDI power-down.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced UVLO with status feedback | When VDDA or VDDB falls below 8 V, corresponding output is forced low *and* fault signal is fed back across isolation barrier to disable both outputs - preventing transformer flux walk in forward/flyback converters. |
| Programmable dead time | 10–200 ns range via external resistor - eliminates shoot-through risk in half-bridge configurations without requiring controller-side delay logic. |
| Fail-safe default-low outputs | VOA and VOB automatically go low if VDDI is unpowered or EN is deasserted - ensuring power stage remains off during initialization or fault conditions. |
| 1 ms safe delayed startup | Guaranteed monotonic output behavior after VDDI valid; allows system MCU to complete configuration before gate signals become active. |
| RF-based silicon isolation | 100 kV/µs CMTI and no LED aging - delivers stable timing performance over temperature, lifetime, and EMI stress vs. optocouplers. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8233BD-IS3 | Lower 2.5 A peak output; no UVLO status feedback; fixed 30 ns dead time. | Lacks cross-rail UVLO coordination - unsuitable for transformer-isolated topologies requiring flux balance. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for enhanced safety feedback and higher drive strength. |
| UCC5390SCD | 3.5 A peak output; integrated Miller clamp; no programmable dead time; 3.75 kVRMS isolation. | Requires external circuitry for UVLO fault reporting; lacks 1 ms safe startup sequence. | Prefer when Miller clamping is required for SiC gate control, and isolation rating margin is acceptable. |
Compared with SI82391BD-IS3, SI8233BD-IS3 offers lower drive capability and no fault feedback, making it less suitable for high-reliability transformer-coupled designs; UCC5390SCD adds Miller clamping but sacrifices programmable dead time and failsafe startup sequencing - trade-offs require topology-specific validation.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI82391BD-IS3?
The SI82391BD-IS3 is rated for 5 kVRMS isolation withstand voltage per UL 1577 and IEC62368-1, supporting reinforced insulation in industrial and automotive power systems. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) and is validated for 1 minute per safety agency requirements. The SI82391BD-IS3 achieves this using Skyworks' proprietary silicon RF isolation technology, not optocoupler-based methods.
Does the SI82391BD-IS3 support programmable dead time, and how is it configured?
Yes, the SI82391BD-IS3 supports programmable dead time in the 10–200 ns range, set via an external resistor connected to the DT pin. This feature is confirmed for the SI82391BD-IS3 variant in the official ordering guide and eliminates the need for controller-side dead-time insertion logic. The resistor value directly scales the delay, allowing precise tuning to match specific MOSFET/IGBT turn-on/turn-off characteristics in half-bridge configurations.
How does the enhanced UVLO function work in the SI82391BD-IS3?
The SI82391BD-IS3 implements enhanced UVLO with cross-rail status feedback: if either VDDA or VDDB drops below its 8 V threshold, the corresponding output (VOA or VOB) is forced low *and* that fault condition is communicated across the isolation barrier to disable the other output. This behavior is explicitly documented for Si82391-series devices and prevents transformer saturation in forward/flyback topologies - a key differentiator from basic UVLO-only drivers.
What is the purpose of the 1 ms delayed startup time in the SI82391BD-IS3?
SI82391BD-IS3 incorporates a guaranteed 1 ms safe delayed startup time (tSTARTUP_SAFE) from VDDI valid to stable output behavior. This ensures monotonic, glitch-free gate signals during system power-up - allowing MCUs or FPGAs time to initialize control logic before the driver becomes active. This feature is confirmed for SI82391 variants and is critical for avoiding unintended power-stage switching during boot sequences.
Is the SI82391BD-IS3 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SI82391BD-IS3 is industrial-grade, but its automotive-grade counterpart SI82391BD-AS3 is AEC-Q100 qualified and manufactured using full automotive process flows. While SI82391BD-IS3 shares identical electrical parameters and construction with the AS3 version, only the AS3 suffix denotes formal automotive qualification - including AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS/CAMDS compliance, and zero-defect methodology throughout production.
