Product details
Overview
SI88320BC-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 5 kVRMS isolation. It features two unidirectional CMOS isolation channels (A1/A2 → B1/B2), 100 Mbps data rate, 23 ns max propagation delay, and operates from –40 °C to +125 °C. It is used in motor control inverters where compact, reinforced-isolated power and signal transfer are required.
For engineers reviewing the SI88320BC-ASR datasheet, SI88320BC-ASR pinout, SI88320BC-ASR application, or SI88320BC-ASR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-20 wide-body package details, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification status, and confirmed alternative options for isolated power+signal designs requiring UL/CSA/VDE-certified 5 kVRMS reinforcement.
Technical Context
The SI88320BC-ASR implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a silicon dioxide capacitive barrier for robust noise immunity and zero-startup initialization. Its integrated flyback DC-DC controller uses secondary-side voltage sensing via VSNS and closed-loop error feedback transmitted across the isolation barrier - eliminating optocouplers and improving load regulation.
This variant supports low-voltage input (3–5.5 V) to 3.3/5.0 V output configurations, with programmable soft-start (SS pin), shutdown (SH_FC pin), and frequency control (SH_FC/SS RC network). It includes internal power switches (VSW), no external ESW/RSN required, and uses Type 1 loop compensation at COMP with RCOMP = 49.9 kΩ.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI88321BC-ASR | Same SOIC-20 package, but includes HF XMTR/RCVR pins for optional high-frequency diagnostics; lacks SH_FC and SS pins - no programmable soft-start or shutdown. | Used where diagnostic channel monitoring is needed, but converter control flexibility is not required. | Select SI88321BC-ASR only if HF channel access is mandatory and soft-start/shutdown are handled externally. |
| ADUM6210ARWZ | SOIC-16 package, 1 W output power, fixed 5 V output, no frequency/soft-start control, lower 3.75 kVRMS isolation rating. | Suitable for non-automotive, space-constrained applications with lower power and isolation requirements. | Choose ADUM6210ARWZ only when 5 kVRMS reinforcement and AEC-Q100 are not required, and 1 W output suffices. |
Compared with SI88320BC-ASR, SI88321BC-ASR trades converter controllability for diagnostic capability, while ADUM6210ARWZ offers smaller footprint at reduced isolation, power, and automotive qualification - making SI88320BC-ASR the only option meeting full 5 kVRMS reinforced, AEC-Q100, and 2 W programmable DC-DC requirements in SOIC-20.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output power of the SI88320BC-ASR's integrated DC-DC converter?
The SI88320BC-ASR delivers up to 2 W of continuous regulated output power (3.3 V or 5.0 V) under typical operating conditions, with peak capability up to 5 W. This is sufficient to power isolated gate drivers, ADC references, and microcontroller peripherals without external regulation. The SI88320BC-ASR achieves this using internal power switches and secondary-side feedback, ensuring stable operation across temperature and load variations.
Does the SI88320BC-ASR support bidirectional data transfer on its isolation channels?
No, the SI88320BC-ASR provides two unidirectional digital isolation channels: A1 and A2 transmit from the primary (VDDA/GNDA) side to the secondary (VDDB/GNDB) side, while B1 and B2 transmit in the reverse direction. There is no automatic direction detection or half-duplex arbitration - each channel is hardwired for fixed directionality, as confirmed in the Si8832x pin configuration diagrams and functional description.
What isolation certifications does the SI88320BC-ASR hold, and what do they cover?
The SI88320BC-ASR is certified to UL 1577 (5000 VRMS, 1 min), CSA 62368-1 (reinforced insulation), VDE 62368-1 (conformity), and CQC GB4943.1. These certifications validate its reinforced insulation barrier for functional safety in industrial and automotive end-equipment. The SI88320BC-ASR meets all requirements without external components, enabling direct use in safety-critical signal and power isolation paths.
Can the SI88320BC-ASR generate output voltages other than 3.3 V or 5.0 V?
Yes - while default configurations support 3.3 V or 5.0 V outputs, the SI88320BC-ASR can deliver >5.5 V outputs using external components (e.g., external NPN transistor with VREGB pin). For outputs ≤5.5 V, VREGB must be left unconnected (DNC), per datasheet Table 1. The SI88320BC-ASR's VSNS feedback network allows precise setting of any output voltage within its operational range using resistor dividers.
Is the SI88320BC-ASR pin-compatible with other Si8832x variants like SI88321BC-ASR or SI88322BC-ASR?
No - the SI88320BC-ASR has a unique pin assignment in SOIC-20, including dedicated SH_FC and SS pins for shutdown and soft-start control. SI88321BC-ASR replaces these with HF XMTR/RCVR pins, and SI88322BC-ASR configures all four channels as forward-only (A1/A2/B1/B2 → XMTR). Pinouts differ across Si8832x variants; PCB layout must match the exact part number. The SI88320BC-ASR requires its specific pin mapping for correct DC-DC control and signal routing.
