Product details
Overview
SI88222EC-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. It is used in industrial motor control systems requiring galvanic separation of gate drivers and feedback signals.
For engineers reviewing the SI88222EC-ISR datasheet, SI88222EC-ISR pinout, SI88222EC-ISR application, or SI88222EC-ISR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-16 wide-body package details, functional pin roles, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification status, and validated alternative parts for isolated power + signal transfer designs.
Technical Context
The SI88222EC-ISR implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a silicon dioxide capacitive barrier for noise-immune digital channel operation, with no startup initialization required. Its integrated flyback DC-DC controller senses output voltage on the secondary side via VSNS, enabling precise regulation without optocouplers or external bias circuitry.
This variant uses internal power switches (VSW) - not external FETs - and supports only low-voltage input configurations (3–5.5 V primary). It includes shutdown (SH pin), soft-start (SS pin), and fixed 250 kHz switching frequency; VREGB is DNC since output ≤5.5 V.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6222ARWZ | 2-channel isolator + 500 mW isolated DC-DC; lower output power, no AEC-Q100 rating | Suitable for non-automotive industrial control; lacks 2 W capability for powering gate drivers | Select when board space is constrained and secondary-side load <300 mA |
| ISO7821FDWR | 2-channel isolator only - no integrated DC-DC; requires external isolated power supply | Used where system already has isolated 5 V rail; adds design complexity and component count | Select when existing architecture mandates separate power and signal isolation domains |
Compared with ADUM6222ARWZ and ISO7821FDWR, SI88222EC-ISR uniquely combines 2 W isolated power, AEC-Q100 qualification, and 100 Mbps timing performance in a single SOIC-16 package - enabling simplified, automotive-grade inverter and motor drive designs without external DC-DC stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum output power delivered by the integrated DC-DC converter in SI88222EC-ISR?
The SI88222EC-ISR delivers up to 2 W average output power at 5.0 V on the secondary side. This is sufficient to power typical isolated gate drivers (e.g., Si823x), microcontrollers, and ADCs without external regulators. Peak power capability exceeds 5 W briefly, but thermal limits constrain sustained delivery to 2 W in SOIC-16 packaging.
Does SI88222EC-ISR support fail-safe output behavior during power loss?
Yes, SI88222EC-ISR supports configurable fail-safe mode where B1 and B2 default to logic-low when VDDA or VDDP falls below UVLO thresholds. This behavior is hardware-defined and requires no external components - critical for preventing unintended IGBT turn-on during brownout conditions.
Can SI88222EC-ISR operate with a 24 V primary-side input?
No. SI88222EC-ISR is part of the Si8822x series, which supports only low-voltage primary inputs (3.0–5.5 V). For 24 V input applications, Skyworks specifies Si8842x or Si8862x variants with external FET drivers (ESW/RSN pins) and high-voltage configuration support.
What is the purpose of the DNC/VREGB pin on SI88222EC-ISR?
On SI88222EC-ISR, the Pin 16 DNC/VREGB is designated Do-Not-Connect because the device's isolated output voltage is ≤5.5 V. The internal Zener reference is inactive in this configuration. Connecting this pin may disrupt regulation or cause latch-up; it must remain unconnected per Skyworks' design guidelines.
Is SI88222EC-ISR qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, SI88222EC-ISR is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (–40 °C to +125 °C), with full PPAP documentation support, IMDS/CAMDS compliance, and manufacturing flow controls specific to automotive requirements. It is approved for use in ASIL-B systems including EV traction inverters and battery management interfaces.
