Product details
Overview
SI82398CB4-IS1R from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel isolated gate driver IC designed for high-side/low-side MOSFET/IGBT control in power converters. It features 4.0 A peak output current, 12 V output UVLO threshold, programmable dead time (40–600 ns), deglitch filtering, and operates with 2.5–5.5 V input supply (VDDI). It drives traction inverters and on-board chargers requiring reinforced isolation and fail-safe startup.
For engineers reviewing the SI82398CB4-IS1R datasheet, SI82398CB4-IS1R pinout, SI82398CB4-IS1R application, or SI82398CB4-IS1R equivalent, key selection criteria include its PWM-input architecture, automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100), SOIC-16 wide-body package, 5 kVRMS isolation, and enhanced UVLO with no status pin - critical for reliable motor drive and EV power systems.
Technical Context
The SI82398CB4-IS1R implements a single-PWM-input, high-side/low-side driver topology using RF-based silicon isolation. Its internal architecture includes independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) monitoring per output channel (VDDA/VDDB), fail-safe default-low outputs during VDDI power-down, and EN pin control with 100 kΩ external pull-down requirement.
It supports programmable dead time (40–600 ns) and deglitch filtering to suppress noise-induced false triggering. Unlike Si82390/1/3 variants, it lacks UVLO status feedback and RDY pin - confirmed by Table 2.4 and Ordering Guide entries for "Si82398xx" with "UVLO Status Pin = No" and "Enhanced UVLO = Yes".
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5 kVRMS withstand voltage - enables reinforced insulation per IEC 62368-1 and VDE 0884-10 for safety-critical EV and industrial power systems. |
| Output Drive Current | 4.0 A peak sink/source - sufficient to directly drive high-gate-charge IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs in 10–24 V gate-drive applications. |
| UVLO Threshold | 12 V on VDDA/VDDB - prevents erroneous switching during brown-out conditions in high-voltage motor control rails. |
| Dead Time Range | 40–600 ns programmable - allows precise overlap prevention between high-side and low-side switches in half-bridge topologies. |
| Propagation Delay | 30 ns typical - ensures tight timing control and minimal skew between channels for high-frequency (>100 kHz) PWM operation. |
| Input Supply Range | 2.5–5.5 V VDDI - compatible with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGA I/O without level-shifting. |
| CMTI | 100 kV/µs - rejects fast transient noise in noisy power-converter environments, reducing need for external filtering. |
Pinout & Package
SI82398CB4-IS1R is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 wide-body package (7.5 mm body width, 10.3 mm length), rated for 260 °C peak reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIA | Input ground reference | Input-side GND - must be connected to controller ground; forms isolation barrier reference for RF transmitter. |
| VIB | Input power supply | Input-side VDDI (2.5–5.5 V) - powers internal logic, oscillator, and EN circuitry; requires local 1 µF + 0.1 µF decoupling. |
| PWM | Control input | Single TTL-compatible PWM signal - high = VOA high / VOB low; low = VOA low / VOB high; no internal pull-up/down. |
| EN | Enable input | Active-high enable - must be pulled down to GNDI via 100 kΩ resistor when unused; forces both outputs low when low. |
| GND1 | Driver-side ground A | High-side driver return - connects to source of high-side MOSFET; referenced to VDDA for UVLO monitoring. |
| VDDA | Driver supply A | High-side gate drive supply (10–24 V) - powers high-side output stage; monitored for 12 V UVLO. |
| VOA | High-side output | Push-pull gate driver output - 4.0 A peak, RDS(ON) = 2.7 Ω (pull-up) / 1 Ω (pull-down); defaults low if VDDI or VDDA lost. |
| GND2 | Driver-side ground B | Low-side driver return - connects to source of low-side MOSFET; referenced to VDDB for UVLO monitoring. |
| VDDB | Driver supply B | Low-side gate drive supply (10–24 V) - powers low-side output stage; monitored for 12 V UVLO. |
| VOB | Low-side output | Push-pull gate driver output - identical specs to VOA; complements VOA under PWM control with programmable dead time. |
| NC | No connect | Pins 1, 2, 15, 16 - internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines to avoid coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RF-based silicon isolation | Enables 5 kVRMS rating and 100 kV/µs CMTI without LED aging or temperature drift - superior long-term reliability vs optocouplers. |
| Fail-safe default-low outputs | VOA and VOB automatically drive low during VDDI power loss or EN deactivation - prevents shoot-through in half-bridge configurations. |
| Programmable dead time | 40–600 ns range set externally - eliminates need for discrete RC networks and enables dynamic adjustment for varying load conditions. |
| Deglitch filtering | Hardware noise suppression on PWM input - rejects sub-50 ns transients without software intervention or additional components. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Automotive-grade manufacturing flow with AIAG PPAP, IMDS/CAMDS support - validated for on-board chargers and traction inverters. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI82394CB4-IS1R | Same SOIC-16 WB package and PWM-input architecture, but includes UVLO status pin (RDY) and 10–200 ns dead time range. | Required where real-time UVLO fault reporting to controller is needed; not suitable if RDY pin is unused or PCB space constrained. | Select SI82394CB4-IS1R only when status feedback is mandatory; SI82398CB4-IS1R reduces BOM count by eliminating need for RDY routing. |
| UCC5390SCDR | Texas Instruments part with 4 A drive, 5 kVRMS isolation, but uses capacitive isolation and lacks deglitch filtering; dead time fixed at 120 ns. | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial inverters where TI ecosystem preference exists, but not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Choose UCC5390SCDR for cost-sensitive industrial designs without automotive qualification needs; SI82398CB4-IS1R preferred for EV programs requiring PPAP and IMDS compliance. |
Compared with SI82394CB4-IS1R, SI82398CB4-IS1R trades UVLO status reporting for simplified layout and broader dead time tuning; versus UCC5390SCDR, it delivers automotive qualification, higher CMTI, and hardware deglitching - making it optimal for safety-critical traction and charging systems.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI82398CB4-IS1R?
The SI82398CB4-IS1R provides 5 kVRMS isolation rating per UL 1577 and VDE 0884-10 standards, supporting reinforced insulation for safety-critical applications including EV traction inverters and on-board chargers. This rating is verified for 1 minute at 5000 Vrms and applies across the full operating temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C.
Does the SI82398CB4-IS1R include an RDY (ready) status pin?
No, the SI82398CB4-IS1R does not include an RDY pin. Per the Si8239x Ordering Guide and Table 2.4, SI82398 variants are explicitly defined with "UVLO Status Pin = No". This distinguishes it from SI82394 variants (e.g., SI82394CB4-IS1R), which do provide RDY output for UVLO fault reporting.
What is the purpose of the deglitch feature in the SI82398CB4-IS1R?
The deglitch feature in the SI82398CB4-IS1R filters sub-50 ns noise spikes on the PWM input to prevent false triggering of the gate outputs. This hardware-level filtering eliminates the need for external RC networks or firmware debouncing, enhancing reliability in high-noise motor drive and inverter environments where EFT and burst transients are common.
Can the SI82398CB4-IS1R drive both high-side and low-side switches simultaneously?
Yes, the SI82398CB4-IS1R is a dedicated high-side/low-side driver with complementary PWM-controlled outputs: VOA goes high while VOB goes low on PWM high, and vice versa on PWM low. Its programmable 40–600 ns dead time ensures safe non-overlapping switching to prevent shoot-through in half-bridge configurations.
Is the SI82398CB4-IS1R qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SI82398CB4-IS1R is AEC-Q100 qualified and manufactured using Skyworks' automotive-specific process flows. It supports AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS/CAMDS material declarations, and zero-defect methodology - making it suitable for on-board chargers, battery management systems, and traction inverters in BEV/HEV platforms.
