Product details
Overview
SI82398BB4-IS1R from Skyworks Solutions is a high-reliability, 4.0 A peak-output isolated dual gate driver with independent high-side/low-side control, 2.5 V–5.5 V input supply (VDDI), 8 V output UVLO threshold, and programmable dead time (40–600 ns). It integrates two reinforced-isolated drivers in a single SOIC-16 narrow-body package and is designed for driving power MOSFETs and IGBTs in motor control inverters and isolated DC-DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SI82398BB4-IS1R datasheet, SI82398BB4-IS1R pinout, SI82398BB4-IS1R application, or SI82398BB4-IS1R equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, safety-critical timing parameters, isolation specifications, and real-world use cases - all grounded in Skyworks' official Si8239x family documentation and ordering guide.
Technical Context
The SI82398BB4-IS1R implements a high-side/low-side driver configuration with a single PWM input, using RF-based silicon isolation to achieve 5 kVRMS withstand voltage and 100 kV/µs CMTI. Its internal architecture includes independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) monitoring per output side, status feedback via RDY pin, and fail-safe default-low outputs during VDDI power-down.
It supports programmable dead time (40–600 ns) and deglitch filtering to prevent false triggering in noisy power-conversion environments. The device operates across –40 °C to +125 °C and features an extended safe startup delay of 1 ms, ensuring monotonic initialization before gate drive activation.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Peak Output Current | 4.0 A - sufficient to directly drive high-gate-charge IGBTs and GaN FETs without external buffers. |
| Input Supply Range (VDDI) | 2.5 V–5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers and logic families. |
| Output UVLO Threshold | 8 V - ensures stable gate drive only when driver-side supplies meet minimum operational voltage. |
| Programmable Dead Time | 40–600 ns - configurable via external resistor to prevent shoot-through in half-bridge topologies. |
| Isolation Withstand Voltage | 5 kVRMS - certified for reinforced insulation per IEC 62368-1 and UL 1577, enabling use in mains-connected systems. |
| CMTI | 100 kV/µs - suppresses noise-induced false switching in high-dV/dt motor drive and inverter applications. |
| Propagation Delay | 30 ns - enables precise timing control in high-frequency (>1 MHz) switching designs. |

Pinout & Package
SI82398BB4-IS1R is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 narrow-body package (5.3 mm width), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and thermal performance in power electronics modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced Isolation Barrier | 5 kVRMS withstand voltage with 100 kV/µs CMTI - eliminates optocoupler aging and enables >30-year field reliability in industrial inverters. |
| Fail-Safe Default-Low Outputs | Both VOA and VOB drive low when VDDI is unpowered - prevents unintended power device turn-on during brownout or startup. |
| Enhanced UVLO with Feedback | Independent 8 V UVLO on VDDA and VDDB, with status reported to RDY pin - enables system-level fault detection and graceful shutdown. |
| Programmable Dead Time | 40–600 ns range set by single external resistor - eliminates need for external timing ICs in half-bridge and full-bridge gate drive designs. |
| Deglitch Filtering | Configurable noise rejection on PWM input - suppresses sub-100 ns transients common in high-power EMI environments. |
| Safe Startup Sequence | 1 ms delayed output enable after VDDI stabilization - guarantees monotonic behavior and avoids race conditions in controller-initiated power-up. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI82394BB4-IS1 | Same SOIC-16 NB package, 8 V UVLO, but includes UVLO status pin (RDY) and 40–600 ns dead time - identical functional scope. | Supports same motor control and OBC use cases; differs only in enhanced UVLO reporting capability. | Select SI82394BB4-IS1 if RDY status feedback is required for system-level fault logging; otherwise SI82398BB4-IS1 offers identical core functionality at lower cost. |
| UCC5390SCD | Texas Instruments part with 4 A output, 5 kVRMS isolation, but uses capacitive isolation and lacks programmable dead time (fixed 100 ns). | Suitable for general-purpose half-bridge drives, but not for designs requiring adjustable dead time or deglitch filtering. | Choose UCC5390SCD only if TI ecosystem alignment or capacitive isolation preference outweighs need for dead-time tuning and enhanced noise immunity. |
Compared with SI82394BB4-IS1, SI82398BB4-IS1 omits the UVLO status reporting function while retaining identical timing, isolation, and drive strength - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, non-diagnostic applications. Versus UCC5390SCD, SI82398BB4-IS1 provides superior noise immunity (100 kV/µs vs. 75 kV/µs) and design flexibility via programmable dead time.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of SI82398BB4-IS1R?
SI82398BB4-IS1R provides 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation, certified to UL 1577 (5000 Vrms for 1 minute), IEC 62368-1, and VDE 0884-10 (basic insulation). It meets CSA and CQC requirements and is rated for reinforced insulation per EN60950-1. These certifications confirm suitability for mains-connected equipment and automotive high-voltage systems where galvanic separation is critical.
Does SI82398BB4-IS1R support bootstrap gate drive configurations?
No - SI82398BB4-IS1R does not support bootstrap configurations. Its VDDA and VDDB supplies must be independently regulated because the device implements independent UVLO monitoring on each driver supply rail. Using a bootstrap circuit would violate the requirement for separate, stable VDDA/VDDB sources and could cause unpredictable UVLO behavior or failure to drive correctly.
How is dead time programmed on SI82398BB4-IS1R?
Dead time on SI82398BB4-IS1R is programmed using a single external resistor connected between the DT pin and GND2. The value sets dead time within the 40–600 ns range per the datasheet's DT resistor lookup table. This eliminates the need for external logic or timers and enables precise, layout-independent timing control in half-bridge applications.
What happens to the outputs of SI82398BB4-IS1R during input supply loss?
When VDDI is lost or drops below UVLO threshold, SI82398BB4-IS1R forces both VOA and VOB to drive low - a fail-safe condition that prevents unintended turn-on of power devices. This behavior is guaranteed even if VDDA and VDDB remain powered, ensuring safe shutdown during controller power faults or brownouts.
Is SI82398BB4-IS1R compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
Yes - SI82398BB4-IS1R accepts 2.5 V–5.5 V on VDDI and features TTL-compatible inputs, making it fully interoperable with standard 3.3 V microcontrollers. The VIA (PWM) input requires no level shifting, and the EN pin functions correctly with 3.3 V logic high, simplifying interface design in modern low-voltage control architectures.
