Product details
Overview
SI88220ED-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 from –40 °C to +125 °C. Used in industrial PLCs and EV battery management systems requiring reinforced insulation and AEC-Q100 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the SI88220ED-ASR datasheet, SI88220ED-ASR pinout, SI88220ED-ASR application, or SI88220ED-ASR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-16 wide-body package mapping, functional pin roles, automotive-grade safety certifications (UL 1577, VDE 62368-1, CQC GB4943.1), and validated alternative options for isolated power + signal transfer designs.
Technical Context
The SI88220ED-ASR implements two unidirectional RF-modulated CMOS isolation channels using on/off keying across a silicon dioxide barrier, enabling robust noise immunity and zero-startup initialization. Its integrated flyback DC-DC controller senses output voltage on the secondary side via VSNS and transmits error feedback across the barrier-eliminating optocouplers and improving load regulation.
This variant uses internal power switches (VSW), supports shutdown via SH pin, and operates at fixed 250 kHz switching frequency. It is configured for low-voltage input (3–5.5 V) to isolated 3.3/5.0 V output, with no external FET required and no programmable soft-start or frequency control-features reserved for Si883xx/Si886xx families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5000 VRMS for 1 minute - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577, VDE 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1. |
| Data Rate | Up to 100 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI, RS-485, and CAN FD physical layer signaling. |
| Propagation Delay | 23 ns maximum - enables tight timing budgets in motor control gate drivers and real-time feedback loops. |
| DC-DC Output Power | 2 W average at 5.0 V - sufficient to power secondary-side microcontrollers, ADCs, and isolated transceivers without external regulators. |
| Operating Temperature | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments. |
| Transient Immunity | 100 kV/µs typical - ensures reliable operation in noisy inverters and variable-frequency drives. |

Pinout & Package
SI88220ED-ASR is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 wide-body package (7.5 mm body width, 10.3 mm length) with creepage/clearance ≥ 8.3 mm, certified for reinforced insulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16 | GNDP / GNDB | Primary and secondary ground references - must be connected with shortest possible trace to minimize EMI coupling across isolation barrier. |
| 2 | VSW | Internal switch output - drives transformer primary directly; no external FET needed for ≤5.5 V input configurations. |
| 3 | VDDP | Primary-side power stage supply - accepts 3.0–5.5 V input; UVLO threshold ensures clean startup. |
| 4, 13 | VDDA / VDDB | Primary and secondary digital logic supplies - each powers respective isolation channel I/O and internal circuitry. |
| 5, 12 | GNDA / GNDB | Digital signal grounds - separate from power grounds to prevent noise injection into data paths. |
| 6 | SH | Shutdown control - asserted high disables DC-DC converter; tied low for normal operation. |
| 7, 8 | A1 / A2 | Primary-side input channels - unidirectional, CMOS-compatible inputs accepting 1.62–5.5 V logic levels. |
| 9, 10 | B1 / B2 | Secondary-side output channels - provide isolated, rail-to-rail CMOS outputs referenced to VDDB. |
| 11 | VSNS | Feedback sense input - connects to resistor divider on secondary side to regulate isolated output voltage. |
| 14 | COMP | Compensation node - requires external RC network (RCOMP = 49.9 kΩ, CCOMP calculated per AN892) for stable loop control. |
| 15 | NC | No-connect - internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitive RF isolation barrier | Enables 5000 VRMS rating and 100 kV/µs transient immunity without aging or LED degradation seen in optocouplers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel isolated power + signal transfer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6220ARWZ | 2-channel isolator + isolated 5 V DC-DC; 5000 VRMS rating; 25 ns max prop delay; uses iCoupler® transformer isolation; no AEC-Q100 grade. | Requires external LDO for 3.3 V loads; lower efficiency (72%) and 1 W output limit; not qualified for automotive use. | Select when legacy ADI ecosystem compatibility or transformer-isolation heritage is prioritized over automotive qualification and 2 W output capability. |
| ISO7821FDWR | 2-channel digital isolator only - no integrated DC-DC; 5000 VRMS; 11.5 ns prop delay; supports 100 Mbps; AEC-Q100 Grade 0. | Requires external isolated DC/DC (e.g., ISOW7841) - increases component count, layout complexity, and cost by ~35%. | Select when ultra-low propagation delay (<12 ns) is mandatory and system already includes a separate isolated power source. |
Compared with SI88220ED-ASR, ADUM6220ARWZ offers comparable isolation but lacks automotive qualification and delivers less output power, while ISO7821FDWR provides superior timing performance but forces designers to manage external power architecture - making SI88220ED-ASR optimal for space-constrained, safety-critical automotive and industrial systems needing integrated power + signal isolation.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the SI88220ED-ASR?
The SI88220ED-ASR supports data rates up to 100 Mbps across both isolation channels. This is confirmed in the datasheet's "Key Features" section and validated under worst-case conditions including full temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) and supply voltage extremes. The SI88220ED-ASR maintains this rate without derating, making it suitable for high-speed SPI, RS-485, and CAN FD physical layer isolation in SI88220ED-ASR-based designs.
Does the SI88220ED-ASR include an integrated DC-DC converter, and what output voltages does it support?
Yes, the SI88220ED-ASR integrates a fully functional isolated DC-DC converter capable of delivering regulated 3.3 V or 5.0 V outputs at up to 2 W average power. It is configured for low-voltage input (3.0–5.5 V) to isolated low-voltage output - no external FET is required. Output voltage is set via external resistor divider on the VSNS pin, and the converter uses secondary-side sensing for precise regulation without optocouplers. This functionality is inherent to the SI88220ED-ASR silicon and documented in Figures 7–8 and Section 2.3 of the datasheet.
What safety certifications apply to the SI88220ED-ASR?
The SI88220ED-ASR is certified to UL 1577 (5000 VRMS, 1 min), CSA 62368-1 (reinforced insulation), VDE 62368-1 (conformity), and CQC GB4943.1. It also carries AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use, with PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS support available. These certifications are explicitly listed in the "Safety Regulatory Approvals" section of the datasheet and apply to the SI88220ED-ASR device as shipped - no additional system-level testing is required to claim compliance in end equipment.
Can the SI88220ED-ASR be used in high-voltage input configurations (e.g., 24 V input)?
No - the SI88220ED-ASR is specifically designed for low-voltage input (3.0–5.5 V) to isolated 3.3/5.0 V output. It lacks the ESW, RSN, and VREGA pins required for 24 V primary-side operation. For 24 V input applications, Skyworks specifies Si8842x or Si8862x variants instead. Attempting to operate SI88220ED-ASR above 5.5 V on VDDP will exceed absolute maximum ratings and cause permanent damage. This distinction is clearly defined in Sections 2.3.10 through 2.3.13 of the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the SH pin on the SI88220ED-ASR?
The SH (Shutdown) pin on the SI88220ED-ASR disables the integrated DC-DC converter when driven high. It is located at Pin 6 and functions as a hardware enable/disable control - pulled low for normal operation. This feature allows system-level power sequencing and fault recovery without disrupting digital signal isolation. The SH pin has no effect on the isolator channels themselves, which remain fully operational. This behavior is confirmed in Section 2.3.1 ("Shutdown") and Figure 1 of the SI88220ED-ASR datasheet.
