Product details
Overview
SI88220EC-ISR 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 5 kVRMS isolation. It features two unidirectional CMOS isolation channels (A1/A2 → B1/B2), 100 Mbps max data rate, 23 ns max propagation delay, and operates from –40 °C to +125 °C. Used in motor control inverters requiring reinforced insulation and compact isolated power.
For engineers reviewing the SI88220EC-ISR datasheet, SI88220EC-ISR pinout, SI88220EC-ISR application, or SI88220EC-ISR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-16 wide-body package details, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification, safety certifications (UL 1577, VDE 62368-1), and design-critical DC-DC converter configuration options including shutdown (SH), soft-start (SS), and feedback sensing (VSNS/COMP).
Technical Context
The SI88220EC-ISR implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a silicon dioxide capacitive isolation barrier for high noise immunity and magnetic field rejection. Its digital channels operate without initialization and support fail-safe default states.
The integrated flyback-derived DC-DC controller uses peak current mode control with secondary-side voltage sensing via VSNS, closed-loop error encoding across the isolation barrier, and internal power switches (VSW) supporting up to 5.5 V primary input. It includes thermal shutdown, cycle skipping at light loads, and programmable soft-start via external capacitor on SS pin.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6202ARWZ | 2-channel isolator + 500 mW isolated DC-DC; SOIC-16; 25 Mbps max data rate; no SH/SS pins. | Limited to low-power sensor interfaces; insufficient for gate driver supply or high-speed control loops. | Select when only basic isolation and sub-1 W power are needed; avoid for motor control or automotive inverters. |
| ISO7821FDWR | 2-channel isolator only (no DC-DC); SOIC-16; 100 Mbps; requires external isolated power supply. | Requires additional isolated DC-DC IC (e.g., ISOW7841) and increases component count, layout complexity, and cost. | Select when system already includes isolated power or when strict separation of signal and power domains is mandated. |

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated DC-DC output power supported by SI88220EC-ISR?
SI88220EC-ISR delivers up to 2 W average output power at 5.0 V on the secondary side. This is sufficient to power isolated gate drivers, microcontrollers, ADCs, and communication transceivers without external regulators. Peak power capability exceeds 5 W briefly during startup, but sustained operation is rated at 2 W per the datasheet's thermal limits and SOIC-16 package constraints. The SI88220EC-ISR achieves this using internal power switches and secondary-side feedback via the VSNS pin.
Does SI88220EC-ISR support both 3.3 V and 5.0 V isolated output voltages?
Yes, SI88220EC-ISR supports standard isolated output voltages of 3.3 V and 5.0 V through external resistor divider configuration on the VSNS pin. The output voltage equation is VOUT = VSNS × (1 + R1/R2), where VSNS references an internal 1.22 V bandgap. Configurations for 24 V input-to-3.3/5.0 V output or 3.3/5.0 V input-to-24 V output are also supported using external components. SI88220EC-ISR does not require optocouplers or secondary-side regulators to achieve tight regulation.
How is the shutdown function implemented on SI88220EC-ISR?
The shutdown function on SI88220EC-ISR is controlled by the SH pin (Pin 6). Driving SH high disables the internal DC-DC converter while leaving the digital isolation channels fully operational. This allows independent control of power and signal paths-critical for system-level fault response and power sequencing. During normal operation, SH must be tied to GNDA. SI88220EC-ISR does not support shutdown via I²C or other digital interfaces; it is strictly hardware-triggered.
What safety certifications apply to SI88220EC-ISR?
SI88220EC-ISR is certified to UL 1577 (5000 VRMS, 1 min), CSA 62368-1, VDE 62368-1 (reinforced insulation), and CQC GB4943.1. These approvals validate its suitability for end-equipment requiring reinforced insulation in industrial and automotive applications. Certification documentation is available from Skyworks upon request, and SI88220EC-ISR meets creepage/clearance requirements for SOIC-16 wide-body packaging per IEC 60664-1.
Can SI88220EC-ISR be used in AEC-Q100 automotive applications?
Yes, SI88220EC-ISR is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40 °C to +125 °C), with full PPAP documentation support and IMDS/CAMDS listings. It is built using automotive-specific manufacturing flows and has passed HTOL, TC, and ESD testing per AEC-Q100 Rev H. SI88220EC-ISR is deployed in production automotive traction inverters and battery management systems where functional safety and zero-defect reliability are mandatory.
