Product details
Overview
SI88220BD-ASR from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel digital isolator with integrated isolated DC-DC converter, delivering up to 5 W peak output power at 3.3 V or 5.0 V on the secondary side. It provides 2 unidirectional isolation channels with ≤23 ns max propagation delay and supports data rates up to 100 Mbps. Certified to UL 1577 (5000 VRMS), VDE 62368-1, and AEC-Q100, it is used in industrial motor control and EV inverter gate drive power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SI88220BD-ASR datasheet, SI88220BD-ASR pinout, SI88220BD-ASR application, or SI88220BD-ASR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-16 wide-body package details, functional pin mapping, automotive-grade thermal and EMI performance metrics, and validated alternative options for isolated power + signal transfer designs.
Technical Context
The SI88220BD-ASR implements capacitive RF-based digital isolation using on/off keying across a silicon dioxide barrier, enabling robust noise immunity and zero initialization requirement. Its integrated flyback DC-DC controller operates in peak current mode with closed-loop feedback via VSNS and COMP pins, supporting both internal switch (VSW) and external FET (ESW/RSN) configurations.
This variant uses internal primary-side power switches (VSW), fixed 250 kHz switching frequency, shutdown control via SH pin, and soft-start via SS pin. It is configured for low-voltage input (3–5.5 V) to isolated 3.3/5.0 V output, with VREGA available for >5.5 V auxiliary regulation and DNC/VREGB unused per datasheet Table 1.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SI88220BD-ASR is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 wide-body package (10.3 mm × 10.3 mm, 2.3 mm height) with creepage/clearance ≥8.3 mm, rated for reinforced insulation per IEC 62368-1.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GNDP | Primary-side power ground - connects directly to VDDP return path for stable DC-DC operation |
| 2 | VSW | Internal switch output - drives transformer primary with integrated NMOS; no external FET needed |
| 3 | VDDP | Primary-side DC-DC input supply - accepts 3.0–5.5 V; requires local 10 µF bypass capacitor |
| 4 | VDDA | Primary-side isolator logic supply - powers A1/A2 transmitters; shares GNDP reference |
| 5 | GNDA | Primary-side signal ground - separate from GNDP but must be short-traced to minimize noise coupling |
| 6 | SH | Shutdown control - active-high disables DC-DC; tied low for normal operation |
| 7 | A1 | Channel 1 transmitter input - unidirectional CMOS input driving HF XMTR circuit |
| 8 | A2 | Channel 2 transmitter input - independent of A1; supports dual isolated control signals |
| 9 | B1 | Channel 1 receiver output - isolated CMOS output referenced to VDDB/GNDB |
| 10 | B2 | Channel 2 receiver output - complements B1; enables bidirectional signal flow via two channels |
| 11 | GNDB | Secondary-side signal ground - isolated reference for B1/B2 outputs and VDDB |
| 12 | VDDB | Secondary-side isolator logic supply - powered by internal DC-DC; regulates at 3.3/5.0 V |
| 13 | VSNS | Feedback sense input - monitors isolated output voltage via resistor divider; enables precise regulation |
| 14 | COMP | Compensation node - connects RCOMP (49.9 kΩ) and CCOMP for loop stability |
| 15 | NC | No-connect - not bonded; must remain floating per datasheet Figure 1 |
| 16 | DNC/VREGB | Do-not-connect - Zener-referenced only for >5.5 V outputs; unused in SI88220BD-ASR configuration |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel isolated DC-DC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6223ARWZ | 2-channel isolator + isolated 5 V DC-DC; 2.5 kVRMS rating; no AEC-Q100 qualification | Limited to industrial temp range (–40 °C to +105 °C); lower isolation voltage restricts use in EV traction systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 5000 VRMS requirement |
| ISO7821FDWWR | 2-channel isolator only - no integrated DC-DC; requires external isolated power supply | Increases BOM and layout complexity; suitable where existing isolated bias rails are available | Choose if system already includes isolated 5 V supply and only signal isolation is needed |
Compared with ADUM6223ARWZ and ISO7821FDWWR, SI88220BD-ASR uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 5000 VRMS reinforced insulation, and integrated 5 W DC-DC in a single SOIC-16 package - eliminating external power conversion and enabling direct replacement in safety-critical automotive and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SI88220BD-ASR?
The SI88220BD-ASR supports a maximum data rate of 100 Mbps across both isolation channels. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Key Features" section and enables high-speed protocols such as isolated SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and real-time PWM feedback in motor drives. The SI88220BD-ASR maintains this rate with guaranteed timing margins across its full operating temperature range.
Does the SI88220BD-ASR include an integrated DC-DC converter?
Yes, the SI88220BD-ASR integrates a fully functional isolated DC-DC converter capable of delivering up to 5 W peak power at 3.3 V or 5.0 V on the secondary side. It uses internal power switches (VSW pin), requires only a miniature transformer and minimal passive components, and supports soft-start (SS pin) and shutdown (SH pin) functions - all documented in the Si88x2x datasheet Section 1 and Figure 1.
What safety certifications does the SI88220BD-ASR hold?
The SI88220BD-ASR is certified to UL 1577 (5000 VRMS for 1 minute), CSA 62368-1 (reinforced insulation), VDE 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1. It also meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for automotive applications. These certifications are explicitly listed in the "Safety Regulatory Approvals" section of the official Skyworks datasheet (206584B, August 2023).
What is the purpose of the DNC/VREGB pin on the SI88220BD-ASR?
On the SI88220BD-ASR, the DNC/VREGB pin is designated "Do Not Connect" because this device is configured for ≤5.5 V isolated output. As stated in Table 1 of the datasheet, VREGB is only used as a voltage reference when output voltage exceeds 5.5 V - a condition not applicable to SI88220BD-ASR's standard 3.3/5.0 V DC-DC operation. Leaving it unconnected ensures proper functionality.
Can the SI88220BD-ASR operate with a 24 V input?
No, the SI88220BD-ASR is designed for low-voltage input (3.0–5.5 V) to isolated 3.3/5.0 V output. For 24 V input applications, Skyworks specifies the Si8842x or Si8862x families, which feature external power switches (ESW/RSN) and high-voltage optimized controllers. Using SI88220BD-ASR with 24 V would exceed absolute maximum ratings and damage the internal VSW switch.
