Product details
Overview
SI823H4BD-IS3R from Skyworks is a high-speed, dual-channel isolated gate driver with PWM-input architecture for high-side/low-side power switch control. It delivers 4.0 A peak sink/source drive current, supports 3.0–5.5 V input logic and up to 30 V output supply, features programmable dead time (20–200 ns), and operates across –40 °C to +125 °C - ideal for traction inverter half-bridge stages in battery electric vehicles.
For engineers reviewing the SI823H4BD-IS3R datasheet, SI823H4BD-IS3R pinout, SI823H4BD-IS3R application, or SI823H4BD-IS3R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation rating (UL 1577, VDE, IEC 62368-1), 30 ns max propagation delay, 125 kV/µs CMTI, EN-enabled fail-safe operation, and WB SOIC-14 package compatibility with high-power motor control PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SI823H4BD-IS3R implements RF-based silicon isolation with on/off keying modulation, enabling robust noise immunity without startup initialization. Its PWM-input architecture generates complementary high-side (VOA) and low-side (VOB) outputs with built-in overlap protection and user-programmable dead time via external resistor.
It integrates independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on input (VDDI) and output (VDDA/VDDB) rails, thermal shutdown (>150 °C), and a dual-stage output booster - combining 1 A PMOS pull-up with 3 A NMOS Miller plateau assist - to achieve fast turn-on of SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs under high dv/dt conditions.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PWM-input HS/LS architecture | Single input generates tightly timed, overlap-protected complementary outputs - eliminates external XOR logic in half-bridge drivers |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si823H4AD-IS3 | Same WB SOIC-14 package and PWM-input HS/LS architecture, but 6 V UVLO threshold (vs. 8 V for SI823H4BD-IS3R) | Lower UVLO better suits 6 V auxiliary supplies; less margin against brownout in 12 V systems | Select SI823H4AD-IS3 only when input supply regulation is tighter and system-level brownout risk is low |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the SI823H4BD-IS3R and which safety standards does it meet?
The SI823H4BD-IS3R has a 5 kVRMS isolation rating for 1 minute and is certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-11, IEC 62368-1, and GB4943.1 for reinforced insulation. This rating applies to the WB SOIC-14 package variant and enables use in 800 V battery systems with 2× basic insulation clearance. The SI823H4BD-IS3R meets all required creepage and partial discharge limits for ASIL-C functional safety architectures.
Does the SI823H4BD-IS3R support both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller PWM inputs?
Yes, the SI823H4BD-IS3R accepts TTL-level inputs and operates with VDDI from 3.0 V to 5.5 V. Its VIA/PWM input threshold is 0.7 × VDDI (min), ensuring reliable recognition of 3.3 V logic highs even at VDDI = 3.3 V, and full noise margin at 5 V. The SI823H4BD-IS3R requires no level-shifting circuitry when interfacing directly with common automotive MCUs like the S32K series or Infineon AURIX.
How is dead time programmed on the SI823H4BD-IS3R, and what is the resistor range for 100 ns setting?
Dead time on the SI823H4BD-IS3R is set by connecting an external resistor (RDT) from the DT pin to GND. Using the formula DT ≈ 1.8 × RDT + 12 (ns), a 100 ns dead time requires RDT ≈ 48.9 kΩ (standard 49.9 kΩ 1% resistor). The SI823H4BD-IS3R supports 20–200 ns range with ±15% tolerance, and the DT pin has internal ESD protection and biasing to ensure stable operation across temperature.
What happens to the outputs of the SI823H4BD-IS3R if the input-side supply (VDDI) fails?
When VDDI drops below its UVLO threshold (~7.2 V), the SI823H4BD-IS3R forces both VOA and VOB outputs low within 1 µs - a fail-safe behavior confirmed in the datasheet truth tables. This prevents unintended turn-on of power devices during MCU brownout or reset. The SI823H4BD-IS3R maintains this state until VDDI recovers above the UVLO+ threshold and completes tSTART (typically 10 µs).
Is the SI823H4BD-IS3R pin-compatible with other Si823Hx variants in the WB SOIC-14 package?
Yes, all Si823Hx devices in the WB SOIC-14 package - including SI823H4AD-IS3, SI823H4BD-IS3R, and SI823H4CD-IS3 - share identical pinout, footprint, and land pattern per Skyworks Package Outline DWG# 206414A-7.4. This allows direct substitution within the same configuration (PWM-input HS/LS) without PCB redesign, though UVLO thresholds and thermal specs differ between variants.
