Product details
Overview
SI823H9TD-IS4R from Skyworks is a single-channel, isolated gate driver with disable (DIS) control, 12 V output UVLO, and 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation in an SSO-8 package. It delivers 4.0 A peak sink/source drive current, supports 3.0–5.5 V input VDD, and operates up to 30 V output supply voltage. Designed for driving IGBTs and power MOSFETs in high-reliability industrial motor control and isolated DC-DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SI823H9TD-IS4R datasheet, SI823H9TD-IS4R pinout, SI823H9TD-IS4R application, or SI823H9TD-IS4R equivalent, key selection criteria include its DIS-enabled fail-safe behavior, 30 ns max propagation delay, 125 kV/µs CMTI, -40°C to +125°C operation, and SSO-8 package with 5 kVRMS isolation rating.
Technical Context
The SI823H9TD-IS4R implements RF-based on/off keying across a silicon isolation barrier-replacing optocoupler architecture with higher noise immunity and no LED aging. Its output stage integrates a PMOS/NMOS booster topology that delivers enhanced pull-up current during the Miller plateau region to accelerate power switch turn-on.
This variant uses a DIS (disable) input to force the output low regardless of input state, with built-in undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 12 V on the output side and fail-safe default-low behavior when input-side VDDI is unpowered. It does not support programmable dead time or deglitch features, per its ordering guide entry.
Key Specifications

| Input Supply Range | 3.0–5.5 V - compatible with standard logic-level microcontrollers and FPGA I/O without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
SI823H9TD-IS4R is housed in an 8-pin Wide Body Stretched SOIC (SSO-8) package with creepage/clearance optimized for 5 kVRMS reinforced isolation. Pin assignments are defined per Skyworks' official pinout documentation for SSO-8 variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDI | Input-Side Power Supply | 3.0–5.5 V logic-side supply; powers internal RF transmitter and input logic; UVLO monitoring active here. |
| GNDI | Input-Side Ground | Reference for VI and DIS inputs; must be isolated from output ground plane. |
| VI | Logic Input | TTL-compatible high-true signal; drives output when DIS = low and VDDI is valid. |
| DIS | Disable Control | Active-high input; forces VO low unconditionally when asserted; internal 100 kΩ pull-down. |
| VDD | Output-Side Power Supply | 5.5–30 V gate drive supply; UVLO threshold = 12 V; powers output driver stage and booster circuit. |
| GND | Output-Side Ground | Reference for VO; connects to power device source/emitter; galvanically isolated from GNDI. |
| VO | Driver Output | Single-ended, push-pull output capable of ±4.0 A; defaults low on loss of VDDI or DIS assertion. |
| NC | No Connect | Internally unused pin; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines to maintain isolation integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI823H9CD-IS4R | Same SSO-8 package and 5 kVRMS isolation, but uses EN (enable) instead of DIS; UVLO = 12 V; no deglitch or dead time. | EN logic requires active-low enable signal; less suitable for safety-critical immediate-shutdown use cases than DIS. | Select SI823H9CD-IS4R only if system controller provides active-low enable and fail-safe low-default behavior is not required during input power loss. |
| UCC5390SCD | Texas Instruments part in SOIC-8; 5 kVRMS isolation; 4 A drive; but uses single VDD supply (3–18 V), no separate input/output rails. | Lacks independent input/output supply domains - unsuitable for applications requiring 30 V gate drive or strict separation of logic and power grounds. | Choose UCC5390SCD only for cost-sensitive, lower-voltage (<18 V) gate drive where dual-rail isolation is unnecessary. |
Compared with SI823H9CD-IS4R and UCC5390SCD, SI823H9TD-IS4R uniquely combines DIS-driven fail-safe shutdown, 30 V output capability, and dual-rail supply architecture-making it optimal for high-voltage industrial and automotive auxiliary power stages demanding functional safety and robust transient immunity.

The SI823H9TD-IS4R is rated for continuous working voltage up to 1500 VDC peak between driver outputs.
Does the SI823H9TD-IS4R support programmable dead time?
No, the SI823H9TD-IS4R does not support programmable dead time. Per Skyworks' Ordering Guide, only HS/LS and PWM-configured variants (e.g., SI823H1xx, SI823H4xx, SI823H8xx) include the DT pin and associated resistor-programmable 20–200 ns dead time feature. The SI823H9TD-IS4R is a single-channel DIS-controlled driver with fixed logic behavior and no dead time circuitry.
What happens to the output of the SI823H9TD-IS4R when input power (VDDI) is lost?
When VDDI is unpowered, the SI823H9TD-IS4R enters fail-safe mode and forces VO low regardless of the state of VI or DIS. This behavior is inherent to the Si823H9T configuration and is confirmed in Table 2.2 of the datasheet. It prevents unintended power device turn-on during controller reset or brown-out, enhancing system safety in motor drives and power supplies.
Can the SI823H9TD-IS4R drive SiC MOSFETs effectively?
Yes, the SI823H9TD-IS4R is well-suited for driving SiC MOSFETs. Its ±4.0 A peak output current, 30 ns propagation delay, >125 kV/µs CMTI, and Miller plateau booster architecture directly address SiC gate drive challenges-including fast switching, high dv/dt noise immunity, and high gate charge requirements. The 30 V max output supply supports standard SiC gate drive voltages (e.g., +20 V / –5 V with external level shift).
Is the SI823H9TD-IS4R automotive-qualified?
The SI823H9TD-IS4R is an industrial-grade part (suffix "-IS4"), but an automotive-grade variant SI823H9TD-AS4 exists and shares identical electrical specifications, package, and pinout. The automotive version undergoes AEC-Q100 qualification, AIAG-compliant PPAP, and IMDS/CAMDS reporting-making it suitable for OBC, traction inverter auxiliary stages, and battery management systems where automotive process controls are mandated.
