Product details
Overview
SI82394BD4-IS3R from Skyworks Solutions is a high-side/low-side isolated gate driver IC with single PWM input, 4.0 A peak output drive capability, 8 V output UVLO threshold, and 40–600 ns programmable dead time. It features reinforced isolation (5 kVRMS), 100 kV/µs CMTI, and fail-safe low-default outputs during VDDI power-down - designed for traction inverters and on-board chargers in battery electric vehicles.
For engineers reviewing the SI82394BD4-IS3R datasheet, SI82394BD4-IS3R pinout, SI82394BD4-IS3R application, or SI82394BD4-IS3R equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOIC-14 wide-body package, deglitch-enabled noise immunity, enhanced UVLO status feedback, and automotive-grade qualification under AEC-Q100.
Technical Context
The SI82394BD4-IS3R implements a single-input, high-side/low-side topology using RF-based silicon isolation to replace optocouplers. Its internal architecture includes independent isolated channels with dedicated VDDA/VDDB supplies, EN-controlled shutdown, and RDY status signaling - all synchronized to a single PWM input with programmable dead-time insertion between complementary outputs.
This device operates with 2.5–5.5 V input supply (VDDI) and supports up to 24 V driver-side supplies. It integrates deglitch filtering, failsafe behavior on VDDI loss, and UVLO monitoring per output side - enabling robust operation in high-noise motor control and EV powertrain systems where timing integrity and fault reporting are 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 safety-critical EV power stages. |
| Peak Output Current | 4.0 A - sufficient to directly drive high-gate-charge IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs in 10–100 kW inverters without external buffers. |
| Output UVLO Threshold | 8 V - ensures reliable turn-off of power switches when driver supply drops below safe operating margin, preventing shoot-through. |
| Programmable Dead Time | 40–600 ns - configurable via external resistor to match switching characteristics of specific power devices and prevent cross-conduction. |
| CMTI | 100 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in high-dV/dt environments like traction inverters with fast-switching SiC modules. |
| Startup Delay | 1 ms typical - provides monotonic, glitch-free initialization sequence for system-level functional safety compliance. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications including on-board chargers and battery management systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side/low-side isolated gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI82394BD-IS3R | Same package and pinout, but fixed 10–200 ns dead time (no deglitch option) | Lacks programmable dead time and deglitch filtering - suitable only for stable, low-noise applications with known FET timing | Select SI82394BD-IS3R only if dead time is tightly constrained and EMI environment is benign; SI82394BD4-IS3R preferred for automotive OBC/inverter use. |
| UCC5390SCDWR | Texas Instruments part with 5 A drive, 3.3–15 V VDDI, no integrated UVLO status pin, non-AEC-Q100 | Requires external fault monitoring circuitry; not qualified for automotive temperature range or safety standards | Choose UCC5390SCDWR for industrial solar inverters where AEC-Q100 is unnecessary and higher drive current is prioritized over integrated diagnostics. |
Compared with SI82394BD-IS3R and UCC5390SCDWR, SI82394BD4-IS3R uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, deglitch-enabled noise immunity, and programmable dead time - making it the only option qualified for ASIL-B traction inverter subsystems requiring both safety and flexibility.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI82394BD4-IS3R?
The SI82394BD4-IS3R provides 5 kVRMS isolation rating per UL 1577 and IEC62368-1, supporting reinforced insulation in high-voltage automotive systems. This rating is validated for 1 minute at 5000 Vrms and applies across the full operating temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C. The isolation barrier uses Skyworks' proprietary silicon RF technology, not optocoupling.
Does the SI82394BD4-IS3R support AEC-Q100 qualification?
Yes, the SI82394BD4-IS3R is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, meaning it is tested and certified for operation from –40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature with zero-defect manufacturing controls. This qualification covers thermal cycling, humidity testing, and ESD robustness - confirming suitability for automotive traction inverters and on-board chargers.
How does the programmable dead time function in the SI82394BD4-IS3R?
The SI82394BD4-IS3R implements programmable dead time via an external resistor connected to the DT pin, enabling adjustment from 40 ns to 600 ns. This feature prevents shoot-through in high-side/low-side configurations by ensuring non-overlapping VOA and VOB drive signals - critical when driving fast-switching SiC MOSFETs or IGBTs with mismatched turn-on/turn-off delays.
What happens to the outputs of the SI82394BD4-IS3R when VDDI is unpowered?
When VDDI is unpowered, the SI82394BD4-IS3R enters fail-safe mode: both VOA and VOB are actively driven low regardless of PWM or EN state. This behavior is guaranteed by internal circuitry and eliminates risk of unintended power device activation during MCU reset, brownout, or system sleep - a core safety requirement in ISO 26262-compliant designs.
Is the SI82394BD4-IS3R pin-compatible with other Si8239x variants?
The SI82394BD4-IS3R shares the same SOIC-14 wide-body footprint and pinout with all Si8239x-IS3R variants (e.g., SI82394AD4-IS3R, SI82394CD4-IS3R), differing only in UVLO threshold (6 V / 8 V / 12 V) and dead-time configuration. This allows direct substitution within the same PCB layout when adjusting for different driver supply voltages or noise environments.
