Product details
Overview
SI88220EC-ASR from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel digital isolator with integrated isolated DC-DC converter, delivering up to 2 W of regulated 3.3 V or 5.0 V output power across a 5 kVRMS capacitive isolation barrier. It supports data rates up to 100 Mbps, achieves 23 ns max propagation delay, and operates over –40 °C to +125 °C for industrial and automotive power conversion and signal isolation in motor drives and PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the SI88220EC-ASR datasheet, SI88220EC-ASR pinout, SI88220EC-ASR application, or SI88220EC-ASR equivalent, this device enables compact, high-reliability isolated power + signal transfer without optocouplers or external feedback components - critical for space-constrained inverters, EV battery management interfaces, and isolated ADC front-ends.
Technical Context
The SI88220EC-ASR implements two unidirectional RF-modulated CMOS isolation channels using on/off keying across a silicon dioxide barrier, providing inherent noise immunity and eliminating startup initialization. Its integrated flyback DC-DC controller senses output voltage directly on the secondary side via VSNS, closing the regulation loop across isolation without optocouplers.
This variant uses internal power switches (VSW), supports 3–5.5 V primary input, delivers 3.3/5.0 V secondary output, and includes shutdown (SH pin), soft-start (SS pin), and fixed 250 kHz switching frequency - distinguishing it from Si883xx (programmable frequency) and Si884xx/Si886xx (external switch topologies).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5000 VRMS for 1 minute - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577, CSA 62368-1, and VDE 62368-1. |
| Data Rate | Up to 100 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and fast digital I/O in real-time systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 23 ns max - ensures tight timing alignment between isolated control signals in gate driver circuits and feedback loops. |
| DC-DC Output Power | 2 W average at 5.0 V - sufficient to power secondary-side microcontrollers, sensors, or isolated transceivers without auxiliary supplies. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments with no derating. |
| Transient Immunity | 100 kV/µs typical - withstands high dv/dt noise in motor drive and inverter applications without data corruption. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Qualified - supports automotive-grade reliability with PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS compliance. |
Pinout & Package
SI88220EC-ASR is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 wide-body package (10.3 mm × 10.3 mm, 2.65 mm height) with creepage/clearance ≥ 8.3 mm, certified for reinforced insulation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 | Signal & power terminals (A1/A2/B1/B2/VDDP/GNDP/VDDA/GNDA/VDDB/GNDB/SH/VSNS) | Support dual unidirectional data paths (A→B), isolated DC-DC control (SH shutdown, VSNS feedback), and independent primary/secondary power domains. |
| 7, 8, 9, 10 | No-connect (NC) | Internally unconnected - must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines; no electrical function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitive RF isolation barrier | Eliminates LED aging and CMTI limitations of optocouplers; enables 100 Mbps operation with 18 ns typical prop delay. |
| Secondary-side voltage sensing (VSNS) | Enables precise line/load regulation without optocoupler bias circuitry - reduces BOM count and improves long-term stability. |
| Integrated VSW power switch | Supports direct transformer drive from 3–5.5 V input - eliminates need for external MOSFET and gate driver in low-voltage configurations. |
| Shutdown control (SH pin) | Allows system-level power sequencing: asserting SH high disables DC-DC output while preserving isolation channel functionality. |
| Automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) | Validated for automotive use with full PPAP support, IMDS listing, and zero-defect manufacturing flow - suitable for ADAS and battery monitoring. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel isolated power + signal applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6210ARWZ | 2-channel isolator + 500 mW isolated DC-DC; uses magnetic coupling; 50 Mbps max data rate; no programmable shutdown. | Limited to lower-power secondary loads; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and 100 Mbps capability. | Choose when board space is constrained but power demand ≤500 mW and automotive qualification is not required. |
| ISO7821FDWR | 2-channel isolator only - no integrated DC-DC; requires external isolated supply; 100 Mbps; 16-pin SOIC. | Increases BOM and layout complexity; needs separate isolated DC-DC (e.g., SN6501 + transformer). | Prefer when system already includes an isolated power rail or when higher reliability via separation of power/signal functions is mandated. |
Compared with ADUM6210ARWZ and ISO7821FDWR, SI88220EC-ASR uniquely combines 2 W isolated power, 100 Mbps speed, AEC-Q100 qualification, and secondary-side sensing in one SOIC-16 package - enabling single-chip isolated subsystems in EV traction inverters and industrial servo drives.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated output power of the SI88220EC-ASR?
The SI88220EC-ASR delivers up to 2 W average isolated output power at 5.0 V, supporting secondary-side microcontrollers, isolated transceivers, and analog front-ends without external regulators. Peak power capability is higher but limited by thermal design and transformer selection - refer to AN892 for validated transformer part numbers and layout rules.
Does the SI88220EC-ASR require external components for DC-DC operation?
Yes - the SI88220EC-ASR requires an external miniature transformer, input/output capacitors (C2, C3), blocking capacitor (C1), rectifying Schottky diode (D1), and resistor divider (R1/R2) for VSNS feedback. No optocoupler or secondary-side error amplifier is needed due to integrated feedback encoding across the isolation barrier.
How does the SI88220EC-ASR achieve 5000 VRMS isolation rating?
The SI88220EC-ASR achieves 5000 VRMS isolation through its proprietary silicon dioxide capacitive barrier fabricated on a SOIC-16 wide-body package with ≥8.3 mm creepage and clearance. This structure is certified to UL 1577, CSA 62368-1, and VDE 62368-1 for reinforced insulation - verified via 1-minute AC hi-pot testing per standard protocols.
Can the SI88220EC-ASR operate with 24 V input?
No - the SI88220EC-ASR is designed for 3–5.5 V primary-side input only. For 24 V input applications, Skyworks specifies Si8842x or Si8862x variants, which use external power switches (ESW/RSN pins) and support high-voltage flyback topologies. Using 24 V on SI88220EC-ASR will exceed absolute maximum ratings and cause permanent damage.
What is the function of the SH pin on the SI88220EC-ASR?
The SH (Shutdown) pin on the SI88220EC-ASR disables the integrated DC-DC converter when driven high, reducing quiescent current to <10 µA while maintaining digital isolation channel functionality. For normal operation, SH must be tied to GNDA. This feature enables safe power sequencing in systems where isolated power must be gated independently of signal isolation.
