Product details
Overview
SI88222EC-IS 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 in industrial and automotive systems requiring reinforced insulation.
For engineers reviewing the SI88222EC-IS datasheet, SI88222EC-IS pinout, SI88222EC-IS application, or SI88222EC-IS equivalent, this device serves as a complete signal + power isolation solution for motor control gate drivers, PLC I/O modules, and isolated ADC interfaces where compact size, high CMTI (>100 kV/µs), and AEC-Q100 qualification are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The SI88222EC-IS implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a silicon dioxide capacitive barrier for robust noise immunity and zero initialization latency. Its digital isolator side uses independent UVLO monitors on both VDDA and VDDB rails, ensuring fail-safe behavior during asymmetric power sequencing.
The integrated flyback DC-DC controller operates in peak current mode with closed-loop secondary-side voltage sensing via VSNS, eliminating optocouplers. It supports low-voltage input (3–5.5 V) to 3.3/5.0 V output configurations using internal VSW switches and requires external transformer, rectifier diode, and feedback resistors R1/R2.

| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GNDP | Primary-side power ground - connects directly to VDDP return path; must be short-traced to minimize EMI |
| 2 | VSW | Internal switch output - drives transformer primary; rated ≤5.5 V; no external FET required in low-Vin config |
| 3 | VDDP | Primary-side power supply input - accepts 3.0–5.5 V; powers internal DC-DC controller and transmitter |
| 4 | VDDA | Primary-side signal supply - powers A1/A2 transmitter circuits; independent UVLO threshold |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6210ARWZ | 2-channel isolator + 500 mW isolated DC-DC; lower output power; no AEC-Q100 rating | Suitable for non-automotive industrial I/O where <1 W load is acceptable | Select when board space is constrained but full 2 W output is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output power of the SI88222EC-IS DC-DC converter?
The SI88222EC-IS delivers up to 2 W average output power at 5.0 V in low-voltage configurations (3–5.5 V input). Peak power reaches 5 W transiently. This output powers the secondary-side VDDB rail and external loads such as gate drivers or ADCs, eliminating need for discrete isolated DC-DC stages. The SI88222EC-IS achieves this using internal VSW switches and secondary-side feedback via VSNS.
Does the SI88222EC-IS support bidirectional communication between isolated domains?
No, the SI88222EC-IS provides two unidirectional forward channels only (A1→B1 and A2→B2). It does not support reverse-direction signaling or configurable channel direction. For bidirectional isolation, designers must pair SI88222EC-IS with complementary devices or select alternate Skyworks parts like Si88322EC-IS, which offers two forward + two reverse channels.
How is the output voltage of the SI88222EC-IS DC-DC converter set and regulated?
The SI88222EC-IS regulates output voltage via a resistor divider (R1/R2) connected to the VSNS pin on the secondary side. The internal error amplifier compares VSNS voltage to a 1.22 V reference and transmits correction across the isolation barrier to adjust duty cycle. The formula is VOUT = 1.22 × (1 + R1/R2). This secondary-side sensing eliminates optocouplers and improves line/load regulation.
What is the purpose of the DNC/VREGB pin on the SI88222EC-IS?
The DNC/VREGB pin is a Zener-referenced output used only when configuring the SI88222EC-IS for >5.5 V isolated output voltages. In standard 3.3/5.0 V operation, it must be left unconnected (DNC). When VOUT exceeds 5.5 V, VREGB provides a stable reference for external NPN transistor-based regulation of VDDB, enabling higher secondary-side supply rails without additional LDOs.
Is the SI88222EC-IS pin-compatible with other Si8822x variants like SI88220EC-IS or SI88221EC-IS?
No, SI88222EC-IS has a unique pinout optimized for dual forward channels (A1/A2 → B1/B2), differing from SI88220EC-IS (two reverse channels) and SI88221EC-IS (one forward + one reverse). Pin functions such as A1/A2 and B1/B2 are fixed per variant; direct substitution requires PCB layout revision. Always verify pin mapping using Figure 1 in the SI8822x datasheet before replacement.
