Product details
Overview
SI88243BC-ISR from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-channel digital isolator with integrated isolated DC-DC converter, delivering up to 2 W output power at 5 V on the secondary side, supporting data rates up to 100 Mbps, propagation delay ≤23 ns, and reinforced isolation rated at 5000 VRMS. It operates across –40 to +125 °C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive traction inverters and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI88243BC-ISR datasheet, SI88243BC-ISR pinout, SI88243BC-ISR application, or SI88243BC-ISR equivalent, this device serves as a single-chip solution for isolated signal + power in high-noise industrial motor control, EV battery monitoring, PLC I/O modules, and medical patient-isolated data acquisition-where compact size, low EMI, and regulatory compliance (UL, VDE, CQC) are critical.
Technical Context
The SI88243BC-ISR implements four unidirectional CMOS isolation channels using RF-based on/off keying across a silicon dioxide capacitive barrier, enabling robust noise immunity and zero-startup initialization. Its integrated flyback DC-DC controller senses output voltage on the isolated side via VSNS and transmits error feedback across the barrier without optocouplers.
This variant uses internal power switches (VSW), supports 3.3/5.0 V input-to-output conversion, includes shutdown (SH pin), soft-start (SS pin), and fixed 250 kHz switching frequency. It requires only an external transformer, rectifier diode, and minimal passive components-no external FET or current-sense resistor.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad digital isolator with integrated DC-DC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6423AARWZ | 4-channel, 50 Mbps max, 3.75 kVRMS isolation, 0.5 W output power, no soft-start or shutdown pin | Limited to lower-power secondary-side loads; lacks automotive qualification and programmable features | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs power/EMI requirements and AEC-Q100 is not required |
| ISO7844FDWW | 4-channel, 100 Mbps, 8000 VRMS, no integrated DC-DC - requires external isolated power supply | Requires additional transformer, regulator, and compensation components - increases layout complexity and bill-of-materials | Choose when highest isolation voltage is mandatory and board space allows external power circuitry |
Compared with ADUM6423AARWZ and ISO7844FDWW, the SI88243BC-ISR uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 2 W integrated power, soft-start/shutdown control, and 5000 VRMS reinforced isolation in a single SOIC-20 package - reducing system component count and accelerating time-to-certification for automotive and industrial safety-critical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output power of the SI88243BC-ISR's integrated DC-DC converter?
The SI88243BC-ISR delivers up to 2 W of continuous isolated output power at 5 V on the secondary side (VDDB). This is sufficient to power a typical ARM Cortex-M microcontroller, precision ADC, and associated signal conditioning circuitry without requiring an external isolated power supply. Peak power capability exceeds 5 W for short durations, but thermal limits constrain sustained operation to 2 W under full-load conditions at +125 °C ambient.
Does the SI88243BC-ISR support bidirectional data transmission on its isolation channels?
No, the SI88243BC-ISR provides four unidirectional isolation channels: A1–A4 are inputs (transmit side), and B1–B4 are outputs (receive side). Each channel operates independently with RF-based on/off keying modulation. Bidirectional communication must be implemented using two dedicated channels (e.g., A1→B1 for TX, A2→B2 for RX) - the device does not support automatic direction control or half-duplex arbitration logic internally.
Can the SI88243BC-ISR be used with a 24 V input supply?
No - the SI88243BC-ISR is specifically configured for low-voltage operation: it accepts 3.3 V or 5.0 V on VDDP and VDDA. For 24 V input applications, Skyworks offers the Si88443BC-ISR or Si88643BC-ISR variants, which use external power switches (ESW/RSN pins) and support high-voltage flyback topologies. Using SI88243BC-ISR with 24 V would exceed absolute maximum ratings and cause permanent damage.
What is the function of the DNC/VREGB pin on the SI88243BC-ISR?
On the SI88243BC-ISR, the DNC/VREGB pin is a Zener-referenced voltage output intended only for applications where the isolated DC-DC output exceeds 5.5 V. Since SI88243BC-ISR is rated for 3.3/5.0 V output, this pin must be left unconnected (DNC - Do Not Connect) and floated. Connecting it in a 5 V configuration may disrupt regulation accuracy or cause instability due to unintended reference loading.
How does the SI88243BC-ISR achieve its 100 kV/µs transient immunity?
The SI88243BC-ISR achieves 100 kV/µs typical common-mode transient immunity through its capacitive silicon dioxide isolation barrier combined with differential RF modulation and on-chip filtering. The high dielectric strength of the 20 µm SiO₂ layer, coupled with balanced transmitter/receiver layout and internal slew-rate limiting, rejects fast-edge noise without requiring external TVS or RC snubbers - a key advantage over optocouplers and transformer-based isolators in inverter gate-drive applications.
