Product details
Overview
SI88320EC-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 supply is required.
For engineers reviewing the SI88320EC-ASR datasheet, SI88320EC-ASR pinout, SI88320EC-ASR application, or SI88320EC-ASR equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, SOIC-20 wide-body package mapping, confirmed automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification, and validated alternative options for isolated power + signal transfer in high-noise industrial and EV systems.
Technical Context
The SI88320EC-ASR implements RF-based on-off keying modulation across a silicon dioxide capacitive barrier for robust noise immunity and zero initialization latency. Its integrated flyback DC-DC controller senses output voltage on the secondary side via VSNS and transmits error feedback across the isolation barrier-eliminating optocouplers and enabling ±1.5% load regulation.
This variant uses internal power switches (VSW), supports soft-start (SS pin), shutdown (SH_FC pin), and programmable switching frequency (200–800 kHz via SH_FC/SS RC network). It is configured for low-voltage input (3–5.5 V) to 3.3/5.0 V output, with no external FET required.

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; uses iCoupler magnetic coupling; 25 Mbps max data rate | Limited to lower-power secondary loads; not AEC-Q100 qualified; requires external compensation | Choose when 500 mW output suffices and magnetic isolation is preferred over RF capacitance |
| ISO7821FDWWR | 2-channel isolator only (no DC-DC); 100 Mbps; 25 kV/µs CMTI; SOIC-16 package | Requires external isolated DC-DC (e.g., SN6501 + transformer); adds layout complexity and component count | Choose when system already includes isolated power or when higher channel count density is needed |
Compared with ADUM6210ARWZ and ISO7821FDWWR, the SI88320EC-ASR uniquely integrates 2 W isolated power with 100 Mbps signaling in a single AEC-Q100-qualified SOIC-20 package-reducing bill-of-materials, PCB area, and qualification effort for automotive and industrial inverters.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated DC-DC output power of the SI88320EC-ASR?
The SI88320EC-ASR delivers up to 2 W average output power at 5.0 V on the secondary side. This is achieved using internal power switches (VSW) and is specified for 3–5.5 V primary input. Peak power reaches 5 W transiently, but continuous operation is rated at 2 W with proper thermal management per the datasheet derating curves. The SI88320EC-ASR does not require an external FET for this configuration.
Does the SI88320EC-ASR support programmable switching frequency?
Yes, the SI88320EC-ASR supports programmable PWM frequency from 200 kHz to 800 kHz via an external RC network connected between the SH_FC and SS pins. This feature enables EMI optimization without transformer redesign. The default frequency is 250 kHz, and the RC time constant directly sets the operating point-details are provided in AN892 design guide.
How is undervoltage lockout (UVLO) implemented in the SI88320EC-ASR?
The SI88320EC-ASR has independent UVLO monitors on both sides: VDDA (primary signal supply) and VDDB (secondary signal supply). Side A enters UVLO when VDDA drops below 2.7 V (typical) and exits above 2.9 V; Side B behaves identically for VDDB. During UVLO, all digital outputs are held low until both supplies stabilize, ensuring glitch-free startup in noisy power environments.
Can the SI88320EC-ASR be used in high-voltage input configurations (e.g., 24 V primary)?
No-the SI88320EC-ASR is specifically designed for low-voltage primary operation (3–5.5 V). For 24 V input, Skyworks specifies the Si8842x or Si8862x families, which use external power switches (ESW pin) and current sense (RSN pin). Attempting 24 V on VDDP of the SI88320EC-ASR exceeds absolute maximum ratings and will damage the device.
What transformer is recommended for use with the SI88320EC-ASR?
Skyworks validates several transformers for the SI88320EC-ASR, including Coilcraft TA7618-AL (5 kVRMS, 1:4 turns ratio) and UMEC UTB02240s (5 kVRMS, 1:4). These support 4.5–5.5 V input to 3.3/5.0 V output with ≤100 nH leakage inductance and 2 µH ±5% primary inductance. Transformer selection must match the required isolation rating and creepage distance for the end application.
