Product details
Overview
SI82E29ACE-IS3R from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel isolated gate driver with 6 A peak output current, universal configuration (independent VIA/VIB inputs), and disable (DIS) control logic. It delivers <5 ns channel-to-channel skew, 200 kV/µs CMTI, and 6 kVRMS reinforced isolation for driving SiC/GaN MOSFETs and IGBTs in half-bridge power stages. Used in onboard chargers and motor drives requiring robust noise immunity and shoot-through prevention.
For engineers reviewing the SI82E29ACE-IS3R datasheet, SI82E29ACE-IS3R pinout, SI82E29ACE-IS3R application, or SI82E29ACE-IS3R equivalent, key selection criteria include its DIS-enabled universal input architecture, programmable dead time via external resistor, UVLO thresholds (4/8/12/15 V options), voltage-mode drive compatibility with standard gate resistors, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The SI82E29ACE-IS3R implements capacitive silicon-dioxide (SiO₂) isolation with differential RF-modulated OOK signaling between logic and gate driver domains, enabling high CMTI and low propagation delay variation across temperature. Its universal input topology accepts independent non-inverting logic signals on VIA and VIB, with DIS asserted high to force both outputs low unconditionally.
Dead time is programmed externally via resistor-to-GND on DT pin (10–110 kΩ range), generating typical delays of 23–145 ns; connecting DT to VDDI disables dead time and overlap protection, converting operation to dual independent drivers. UVLO monitors VDDI, VDDA, and VDDB independently with hysteresis, ensuring safe startup/shutdown sequencing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel isolated gate driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SIL1225CD-IM | Single-input PWM mode only; no independent VIA/VIB; fixed 100 ns dead time; lower 4 A peak output. | Best suited for cost-sensitive, non-redundant half-bridge applications where independent channel control is unnecessary. | Select SIL1225CD-IM only if design uses single PWM input and does not require DIS-based fail-safe shutdown. |
| UCC5390SCD | 3.3/5 V logic compatible only; no 3–20 V wide input range; higher 10 ns skew; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Targeted at industrial servo drives with strict 5 V controller interfaces; lacks automotive qualification and extended input flexibility. | Choose UCC5390SCD only when system controller operates exclusively at 3.3/5 V and automotive compliance is not required. |
Compared with SIL1225CD-IM and UCC5390SCD, the SI82E29ACE-IS3R offers wider input voltage support, lower skew, AEC-Q100 qualification, and true universal input architecture-making it the preferred choice for automotive OBCs, high-reliability UPS, and systems requiring flexible control and robust fault response.

FAQ
What is the function of the DIS pin on the SI82E29ACE-IS3R?
The DIS (Disable) pin on the SI82E29ACE-IS3R is an active-high control input that unconditionally forces both VOA and VOB outputs low, regardless of VIA, VIB, or power supply states. When DIS is driven high, the device enters a safe shutdown state within tDID (typ. 35 ns), overriding UVLO, dead time, and input logic. This feature is critical for fast fault response in automotive and industrial systems. The SI82E29ACE-IS3R requires DIS to be pulled low for normal operation, and its behavior is fully documented in Table 2 of the datasheet.
Does the SI82E29ACE-IS3R support both high-side/low-side and dual independent configurations?
Yes, the SI82E29ACE-IS3R supports both configurations via the DT pin. With DT connected to GND through a resistor (10–110 kΩ), it operates as a high-side/low-side driver with programmable dead time and overlap protection. When DT is tied to VDDI, dead time and overlap protection are disabled, allowing independent control of VOA by VIA and VOB by VIB-ideal for dual-switch topologies like synchronous buck or dual half-bridges. This universal architecture is confirmed in Figures 1–4 and Section 1.1.1 of the SI82E29ACE-IS3R datasheet.
What UVLO thresholds are available for the SI82E29ACE-IS3R?
The SI82E29ACE-IS3R offers factory-configurable UVLO thresholds of 4 V, 8 V, 12 V, or 15 V on VDDI, VDDA, and VDDB-each monitored independently. These thresholds ensure safe turn-on only after all supplies reach operational levels, preventing partial activation that could damage power switches. The specific UVLO setting for a given SI82E29ACE-IS3R unit is defined at manufacture and cannot be adjusted in-circuit. Selection is made at order time per Skyworks' ordering guide (page 51 of datasheet).
How does the SI82E29ACE-IS3R achieve 200 kV/µs CMTI?
The SI82E29ACE-IS3R achieves >200 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity through Skyworks' proprietary differential capacitive isolation architecture using two matched SiO₂ dielectric barriers. Signal transmission employs RF-modulated OOK encoding across isolated channels, rejecting fast common-mode edges via differential detection and high-frequency carrier rejection. This design eliminates the slow response and aging effects of optocouplers. Measured CMTI performance is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A114 and specified in Section 6.2.1 of the SI82E29ACE-IS3R datasheet.
Is the SI82E29ACE-IS3R qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SI82E29ACE-IS3R is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40 to +125 °C ambient), with full automotive-specific process flow, wafer fabrication, assembly, and test. It meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577, VDE 60747-17, and CSA 62368-1, and supports 2 MOPP per IEC 60601-1. Automotive-grade variants undergo additional HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD validation beyond standard industrial screening. This qualification is explicitly stated in the "Automotive grade is available" section of the SI82E29ACE-IS3R datasheet introduction.
