Product details
Overview
SI82398BD4-ISR 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 2.5–5.5 V input supply (VDDI), supports 40–600 ns programmable dead time, includes deglitch filtering, and features enhanced UVLO with status feedback. It is used in traction inverters and on-board chargers requiring reinforced isolation and fail-safe operation.
For engineers reviewing the SI82398BD4-ISR datasheet, SI82398BD4-ISR pinout, SI82398BD4-ISR application, or SI82398BD4-ISR equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOIC-16 wide-body package, 8 V output UVLO threshold, active-high EN pin, 1 ms safe startup delay, and compatibility with high-CMTI (>100 kV/µs) noise environments in automotive-grade power systems.
Technical Context
The SI82398BD4-ISR implements a single-PWM-input, high-side/low-side driver architecture using RF-based silicon isolation. Its internal RF transmitter modulates input signals via on/off keying across a 5 kVRMS isolation barrier, enabling robust noise immunity without optical degradation or LED aging concerns.
It integrates independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) monitoring per output channel (VDDA/VDDB), automatic low-default outputs during VDDI power-down, and deglitch-enabled input filtering to suppress transient noise. The 40–600 ns programmable dead time prevents shoot-through in half-bridge topologies without external timing components.

FAQ
What is the UVLO threshold for SI82398BD4-ISR?
The SI82398BD4-ISR features an 8 V undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold on both VDDA and VDDB driver supplies. When either supply drops below 8 V, the corresponding output (VOA or VOB) is actively driven low to prevent partial gate drive and potential shoot-through. This threshold is factory-trimmed and specified across temperature and process variation per the Si8239x datasheet Section 4.1.
Does SI82398BD4-ISR support bootstrap power configurations?
No - SI82398BD4-ISR does not support bootstrap power for VDDA. Its enhanced UVLO architecture requires independent, well-regulated 10–24 V supplies for VDDA and VDDB. Using a bootstrap circuit risks violating the independent supply requirement and may cause undefined behavior or failure to meet AEC-Q100 stress test conditions. SI82398BD4-ISR is intended for use with isolated DC-DC converters or dedicated low-dropout regulators.
How is dead time programmed on SI82398BD4-ISR?
Dead time on SI82398BD4-ISR is programmed via an external resistor (RDT) connected between the DT pin and GND2. The value sets dead time within a 40–600 ns range per the formula in datasheet Figure 2.18. For example, a 100 kΩ resistor yields ~200 ns. RDT must be placed close to the IC with short traces to minimize noise coupling, and no capacitor is required - unlike traditional RC-based dead-time generators.
What is the role of the RDY pin on SI82398BD4-ISR?
The RDY pin on SI82398BD4-ISR is an open-drain status output that goes high (pulled up externally to VDDA) only after the 1 ms safe startup delay completes and both VDDA and VDDB are above their UVLO thresholds. It provides hardware-verified readiness for the host controller to begin PWM modulation - critical for functional safety in ASIL-B systems. SI82398BD4-ISR asserts RDY only when all internal regulators and isolation channels are fully operational.
Is SI82398BD4-ISR pin-compatible with other Si8239x variants?
Yes - SI82398BD4-ISR shares identical pinout and footprint with all SOIC-16 wide-body Si8239x drivers (e.g., SI82394BD4-IS, SI82398BD-IS). However, functional differences exist: SI82398BD4-ISR includes deglitch filtering and 40–600 ns dead time, whereas SI82398BD-IS offers 10–200 ns dead time and no deglitch. Board-level substitution is possible only if the target application matches the specific feature set of SI82398BD4-ISR.
