Product details
Overview
SI82398AB4-IS1R from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel isolated gate driver IC with high-side/low-side PWM input configuration, 4.0 A peak output current, 5 kVRMS isolation rating, and programmable dead time (40–600 ns). It operates with 2.5 V–5.5 V input supply (VDDI) and up to 24 V driver supply, and features deglitch filtering and enhanced UVLO without status pin - designed for robust motor control and inverter half-bridge stages.
For engineers reviewing the SI82398AB4-IS1R datasheet, SI82398AB4-IS1R pinout, SI82398AB4-IS1R application, or SI82398AB4-IS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its PWM-input HS/LS topology, absence of UVLO status feedback, deglitch-enabled noise immunity, SOIC-16 narrow-body package, and automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100) with -40°C to +125°C operation.
Technical Context
The SI82398AB4-IS1R implements RF-based silicon isolation with on/off keying modulation, delivering 100 kV/µs CMTI and 30 ns propagation delay. Its single PWM input controls complementary high-side and low-side outputs with programmable dead time to prevent shoot-through in bridge topologies.
It integrates independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both driver sides (6 V threshold), automatic fail-safe low-default behavior during VDDI power-down, and an active-high EN pin with 100 kΩ external pull-down requirement. The device supports bootstrap-independent operation and rejects transients via deglitch filtering.
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 power systems. |
| Peak Output Current | 4.0 A - drives high-gate-charge MOSFETs/IGBTs directly without external buffers in 10–350 kHz switching applications. |
| Propagation Delay | 30 ns - ensures precise timing alignment between HS/LS channels for tight dead-time control in high-frequency inverters. |
| Dead Time Range | 40–600 ns - programmable via external resistor to match FET switching characteristics and prevent cross-conduction. |
| Input Supply Range | 2.5 V–5.5 V VDDI - compatible with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and logic families without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments with full parametric performance. |
| UVLO Threshold | 6 V on VDDA/VDDB - prevents erratic switching during brown-out conditions while maintaining independent channel monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
SI82398AB4-IS1R is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 narrow-body package (5.3 mm width), rated for 260 °C peak reflow, with creepage/clearance compliant to reinforced insulation standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIA | Input Power Supply (Isolated Side) | Not applicable - SI82398AB4-IS1R uses single PWM input; VIA is unused and must be tied to GNDI per datasheet guidance. |
| VIB | Input Power Supply (Isolated Side) | Not applicable - VIB is unused and must be tied to GNDI; only PWM, EN, RDY, VDDI, GNDI, VDDA, VDDB, VOA, VOB, GND1, GND2 are functional. |
| PWM | Single High-Side/Low-Side Control Input | TTL-compatible logic input: high → VOA=H/VOB=L; low → VOA=L/VOB=H - enables compact half-bridge control with one signal line. |
| EN | Enable Input (Active High) | Drives both outputs low when pulled low; requires 100 kΩ pull-down to GNDI; inactive if VDDI is below UVLO. |
| RDY | Ready Status Output | Open-drain digital flag indicating valid output operation after 1 ms safe startup delay - used for system synchronization. |
| VDDI | Input-Side Supply Voltage | 2.5 V–5.5 V power for isolation barrier and input logic; decoupled with 1 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors placed near pin. |
| GNDI | Input-Side Ground Reference | Isolated ground for input circuitry; must be separated from power-side grounds to maintain isolation integrity. |
| VDDA | High-Side Driver Supply | 10–24 V supply for high-side output stage; monitored by independent 6 V UVLO to ensure safe turn-off during fault. |
| VDDB | Low-Side Driver Supply | 10–24 V supply for low-side output stage; independently monitored by 6 V UVLO for fault-resilient operation. |
| VOA | High-Side Gate Drive Output | 4.0 A capable push-pull output driving external N-channel MOSFET/IGBT gate; defaults low on VDDI loss or UVLO. |
| VOB | Low-Side Gate Drive Output | Complementary 4.0 A push-pull output; synchronized with VOA via internal logic and dead-time generator. |
| GND1 | High-Side Output Return | Power ground reference for VOA; electrically isolated from GNDI and GND2 - critical for floating high-side operation. |
| GND2 | Low-Side Output Return | Power ground reference for VOB; separate from GND1 to avoid coupling noise into high-side path. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1, 15, and 16 are no-connect; must remain unconnected per datasheet - not for thermal pad or biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-Based Silicon Isolation | Eliminates LED aging and CTR drift of optocouplers; achieves 100 kV/µs CMTI and <30 ns skew over temperature and lifetime. |
| Programmable Dead Time | 40–600 ns range set by single external resistor - adapts to varying FET gate charge and layout parasitics without firmware changes. |
| Deglitch Filtering | Hardware-level noise rejection on PWM input - suppresses sub-50 ns transients common in noisy motor drive environments. |
| Fail-Safe Default State | Both VOA and VOB drive low during VDDI power loss, UVLO, or EN deactivation - prevents unintended power device conduction. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Automotive-grade reliability with zero-defect manufacturing flow, PPAP documentation, and IMDS/CAMDS compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI82394AB4-IS1R | Includes UVLO status pin (RDY tied to UVLO flag); same PWM input, dead time, and package. | Required where controller needs explicit UVLO fault reporting - e.g., ISO 26262 ASIL-B diagnostics. | Select SI82394AB4-IS1R if UVLO status feedback is mandatory; otherwise SI82398AB4-IS1R reduces system complexity. |
| UCC5390SCDR | Texas Instruments part with 5 A peak drive, 3.3 V–15 V VDDI, no deglitch, and different pinout (SOIC-16 WB). | Used in industrial UPS and servo drives where higher drive current offsets slightly lower CMTI (50 kV/µs). | Choose UCC5390SCDR only if 5 A drive is needed and layout allows SOIC-16 WB; SI82398AB4-IS1R offers superior noise immunity and automotive qualification. |
Compared with SI82394AB4-IS1R, SI82398AB4-IS1R removes UVLO status reporting to simplify diagnostics integration; versus UCC5390SCDR, it delivers higher CMTI, integrated deglitch, and AEC-Q100 compliance - making it optimal for automotive and high-noise solar/motor applications where reliability outweighs marginal drive-current gain.

FAQ
What is the function of the RDY pin on the SI82398AB4-IS1R?
The RDY pin on the SI82398AB4-IS1R is an open-drain ready indicator that goes high after the 1 ms safe startup delay, confirming valid VDDI, VDDA, and VDDB supplies and stable internal logic. It does not report UVLO status - unlike SI82394AB4-IS1R - and remains low during initialization or fault conditions. This signal enables synchronized system boot sequencing in automotive ECUs and inverters.
Does the SI82398AB4-IS1R support bootstrap power supply for the high-side driver?
No, the SI82398AB4-IS1R does not support bootstrap power for VDDA. Its architecture requires independent, isolated 10–24 V supplies for both VDDA and VDDB. Bootstrap configurations risk violating the independent UVLO monitoring requirement and may cause unsafe operation. External isolated DC-DC converters or dedicated floating supplies are required for high-side power.
How is dead time programmed on the SI82398AB4-IS1R?
Dead time on the SI82398AB4-IS1R is set using a single external resistor connected between the DT pin and GND2. The value selects a range from 40 ns to 600 ns per the datasheet's DT resistor table. No capacitor or additional components are needed. This hardware-programmed dead time eliminates software dependency and ensures deterministic timing across temperature and voltage variations.
What is the significance of "AB4" in the SI82398AB4-IS1R part number?
The "AB4" suffix in SI82398AB4-IS1R denotes the specific variant within the Si8239x family: "A" = 6 V UVLO threshold, "B" = enhanced UVLO (with independent channel monitoring), and "4" = high-side/low-side PWM-input configuration with deglitch enabled. This distinguishes it from "AD" (wide-body), "IS1" (tape-and-reel, SOIC-16 NB), and "R" (reel packaging indicator).
Is the SI82398AB4-IS1R pin-compatible with other Si8239x variants?
The SI82398AB4-IS1R shares the same SOIC-16 narrow-body pinout with all Si8239x parts in the IS1 package, including SI82394AB4-IS1R and SI82398BB4-IS1R. However, functional pin assignments differ - e.g., VIA/VIB are NC on SI82398AB4-IS1R but active on dual-input variants. PCB layout must match the intended variant's signal mapping, not just mechanical footprint.
