Product details
Overview
SI88320BD-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 galvanic separation of gate drive signals and auxiliary power for isolated-side logic is required.
For engineers reviewing the SI88320BD-ASR datasheet, SI88320BD-ASR pinout, SI88320BD-ASR application, or SI88320BD-ASR equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, SOIC-20WB package mapping, confirmed automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification, and validated alternative parts for isolated power + signal transfer in industrial and EV traction systems.
Technical Context
The SI88320BD-ASR implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a silicon dioxide capacitive barrier for noise-immune digital isolation. Its integrated flyback DC-DC controller uses peak current mode control with secondary-side voltage sensing via VSNS and closed-loop feedback transmitted across the isolation barrier.
It supports low-voltage input (3–5.5 V) to 3.3/5.0 V output configuration with internal power switches (VSW), programmable soft-start (SS pin), shutdown control (SH_FC pin), and adjustable switching frequency (200–800 kHz via SH_FC/SS RC network). Thermal shutdown and cycle-skipping at light loads are built-in.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6210ARWZ | 2-channel isolator + 500 mW isolated DC-DC; SOIC-16WB; 25 Mbps max data rate; no programmable frequency or soft-start. | Limited to lower-power isolated logic; insufficient for driving gate drivers or high-current ADC references. | Select when only basic isolation and <500 mW auxiliary power are needed - not suitable for 2 W motor control loads. |
| ISO7821FDWWR | 2-channel isolator only (no DC-DC); SOIC-16WB; 100 Mbps; requires external isolated power supply. | Increases BOM count and layout complexity due to separate DC-DC converter and transformer. | Choose when system already includes an isolated power rail and only signal isolation is required - avoids redundant DC-DC integration. |
Compared with ADUM6210ARWZ and ISO7821FDWWR, SI88320BD-ASR uniquely combines 2 W isolated power, 100 Mbps signaling, AEC-Q100 qualification, and programmable soft-start/frequency in one SOIC-20WB package - enabling single-component solutions for automotive and industrial inverters where space, reliability, and EMI control are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated DC-DC output power of the SI88320BD-ASR?
The SI88320BD-ASR delivers up to 2 W average output power at 5.0 V in low-voltage configurations (3–5.5 V input). This is sufficient to power isolated gate drivers, microcontrollers, and precision analog circuitry without external regulators. Peak power capability exceeds 5 W briefly during startup, but sustained operation is rated at 2 W under thermal limits specified in the datasheet.
Does the SI88320BD-ASR support AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use?
Yes, the SI88320BD-ASR is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1, –40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature) and supported with AIAG-compliant PPAP documentation, IMDS, and CAMDS listings. It meets automotive requirements for HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness - making it suitable for EV inverter control units and battery management systems.
How does the SI88320BD-ASR achieve secondary-side voltage regulation without optocouplers?
The SI88320BD-ASR uses an internal error amplifier that compares the divided output voltage (via VSNS pin) to a precision internal reference. The resulting error signal is encoded and transmitted across the isolation barrier via a dedicated feedback path - eliminating external optocouplers and their associated biasing complexity and aging drift.
Can the switching frequency of the integrated DC-DC converter be adjusted on the SI88320BD-ASR?
Yes, the SI88320BD-ASR allows programmable PWM frequency from 200 kHz to 800 kHz using an external RC network connected between SH_FC and SS pins. This enables EMI optimization by shifting switching noise away from sensitive frequency bands - a feature not available on fixed-frequency alternatives like ADUM6210.
What is the role of the SH_FC pin on the SI88320BD-ASR?
The SH_FC pin on the SI88320BD-ASR serves dual functions: asserting it high disables the DC-DC converter (shutdown mode), and configuring it with an RC network sets the switching frequency. During normal operation, it must be grounded or actively driven - floating is not permitted per datasheet recommendations.
