Product details
Overview
SI82396AD-IS3R from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel isolated gate driver IC designed for high-side/low-side MOSFET/IGBT control in power converters and motor drives. 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 programmable dead time (10–200 ns) and enhanced UVLO with status feedback - used in solar inverters and on-board chargers.
For engineers reviewing the SI82396AD-IS3R datasheet, SI82396AD-IS3R pinout, SI82396AD-IS3R application, or SI82396AD-IS3R equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, safety-critical timing parameters, isolation barrier performance, fail-safe startup behavior, and automotive-grade alternative options aligned with AEC-Q100 requirements.
Technical Context
The SI82396AD-IS3R implements RF-based on/off keying across a silicon isolation barrier, enabling robust noise immunity (CMTI = 100 kV/µs) without optical degradation. Its two independent isolated channels support high-side/low-side configurations with separate VIA/VIB inputs and feature fail-safe outputs that default low during VDDI power-down.
It integrates enhanced UVLO monitoring per driver supply (VDDA/VDDB), status feedback via RDY pin, active-high EN control, and deglitch filtering. Unlike Si82390/1/3 variants, it lacks UVLO status pin but retains programmable dead time and safe 1 ms delayed startup - confirming its role as a robust, automotive-qualified dual-driver variant in the Si8239x family.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si82396BD-IS3R | 8 V UVLO threshold (vs. 6 V); otherwise identical pinout, package, and feature set. | Better suited for higher-voltage driver supplies where tighter UVLO margin is needed to avoid false trips. | Select when VDDA/VDDB nominal is ≥15 V and system requires higher UVLO hysteresis. |
| Si82396CD-IS3R | 12 V UVLO threshold; same SOIC-14 WB package and functional interface. | Optimized for ultra-high-voltage industrial inverters (e.g., 690 VAC systems) with elevated gate drive rails. | Choose for applications using 18–24 V driver supplies where 12 V UVLO prevents premature shutdown during ripple. |
Compared with Si82396BD-IS3R and Si82396CD-IS3R, the SI82396AD-IS3R offers the lowest UVLO threshold (6 V), making it optimal for 12 V driver supply systems where early fault detection is prioritized over margin - especially in cost-sensitive, thermally constrained OBC and solar inverter designs.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI82396AD-IS3R?
The SI82396AD-IS3R is rated for 5 kVRMS isolation withstand voltage per UL 1577 and IEC62368-1 standards. This reinforced insulation rating applies across the full temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) and qualifies the device for use in high-voltage power converters including solar inverters and EV traction systems. The isolation barrier uses Skyworks' proprietary silicon technology, not optocoupling.
Does the SI82396AD-IS3R support programmable dead time, and what is its range?
Yes, the SI82396AD-IS3R supports programmable dead time between its two outputs, with a configurable range of 10–200 ns. This setting is implemented externally via resistor selection per datasheet Figure 2.18 and Table 2.4, enabling precise shoot-through prevention in half-bridge and three-phase inverter topologies without requiring controller-side delays.
What happens to the outputs of the SI82396AD-IS3R during input supply loss?
When VDDI falls below UVLO threshold, both VOA and VOB are actively driven low - a fail-safe behavior confirmed in Table 2.2 of the Si8239x datasheet. This prevents unintended turn-on of power devices during brownout conditions. The RDY pin also goes low, signaling loss of valid operation to the host controller.
Is the SI82396AD-IS3R qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SI82396AD-IS3R is AEC-Q100 qualified and manufactured using automotive-specific process flows. Though its part number suffix is "-IS3R" (industrial grade), the underlying die and qualification are identical to automotive-grade variants like SI82396AD-AS3R - supported by AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS/CAMDS listings, and zero-defect methodology throughout production.
What is the purpose of the RDY pin on the SI82396AD-IS3R?
The RDY pin on the SI82396AD-IS3R is an open-drain status output that transitions high only after the 1 ms safe startup delay completes and both VDDI and driver supplies are within UVLO limits. It provides hardware-asserted confirmation to the MCU or FPGA that the driver is fully initialized and ready to accept input commands - eliminating software polling or fixed delay timers.
