Product details
Overview
SI88320EC-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 data rate, 18 ns typical propagation delay, and operates from –40 °C to +125 °C. It is used in industrial motor control systems requiring galvanic separation between gate drivers and MCU logic.
For engineers reviewing the SI88320EC-ISR datasheet, SI88320EC-ISR pinout, SI88320EC-ISR application, or SI88320EC-ISR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-20 wide-body package details, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification status, and real-world design context for isolated power and signal transfer in high-noise environments.
Technical Context
The SI88320EC-ISR implements capacitive RF-based digital isolation using on/off keying modulation across a silicon dioxide barrier, enabling robust noise immunity and no startup initialization. Its integrated flyback-derived DC-DC controller supports low-voltage input (3–5.5 V) to isolated 3.3/5.0 V output, with external transformer, Schottky diode, and feedback resistor divider.
It provides programmable soft-start (via SS pin capacitor), shutdown control (SH_FC pin), and adjustable switching frequency (200–800 kHz via SH_FC/SS RC network). The device uses peak-current-mode control with internal error amplifier, VSNS feedback sensing on the secondary side, and COMP-pin Type-1 loop compensation (RCOMP = 49.9 kΩ, CCOMP calculated per crossover frequency).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel isolated DC-DC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6210ARWZ | 2-channel isolator + 500 mW isolated 3.3 V output; uses iCoupler® magnetic isolation; no programmable frequency or soft-start | Limited to low-power sensor interfaces; insufficient for gate driver biasing | Select when board space is constrained and output power ≤ 500 mW suffices |
| ISO7821FDWWR | 2-channel capacitive isolator only - no integrated DC-DC; requires external isolated power supply | Requires additional transformer, rectifier, and LDO - increases layout complexity and cost | Select when existing isolated power architecture exists and only signal isolation is needed |
Compared with ADUM6210ARWZ and ISO7821FDWWR, SI88320EC-ISR uniquely combines 2 W isolated power delivery, AEC-Q100 qualification, and programmable soft-start/frequency in a single SOIC-20 package - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive and industrial inverters where integrated power simplifies design and improves thermal performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated output power supported by SI88320EC-ISR?
SI88320EC-ISR delivers up to 2 W average isolated output power at 5.0 V, sufficient to power gate drivers, isolated ADCs, and microcontroller peripherals on the secondary side. Peak power capability reaches 5 W briefly during startup, but sustained operation is rated at 2 W due to thermal limits in the SOIC-20 package. This is confirmed in the Si88x2x datasheet Section 1 and Figure 7 block diagram.
Does SI88320EC-ISR support bidirectional communication between its isolation channels?
No, SI88320EC-ISR provides two unidirectional digital channels only: A1 and A2 are inputs on the primary side, and B1 and B2 are corresponding outputs on the secondary side. There is no reverse-path capability. This is explicitly defined in the Functional Description (Section 2.2) and Pin Descriptions (Table 1), where A1–A2 are labeled "I/O signal channel" inputs and B1–B2 are outputs - with no provision for reverse signal flow.
How is the isolated DC-DC output voltage set for SI88320EC-ISR?
The isolated output voltage of SI88320EC-ISR is set by an external resistor divider (R1/R2) connected to the VSNS pin. The divider scales the output voltage to match the internal 1.22 V reference of the error amplifier. The formula is VOUT = 1.22 × (1 + R1/R2). This configuration is shown in Figure 7 and detailed in Section 2.3.6 of the datasheet, and applies directly to SI88320EC-ISR as a member of the Si8832x variant group.
What transformer is recommended for use with SI88320EC-ISR in a 5 V input to 5 V output configuration?
Skyworks validates the Coilcraft TA7618-AL transformer for SI88320EC-ISR in 4.5–5.5 V input to 3.0–5.5 V output applications. It provides 1:4 turns ratio, 64 nH max leakage inductance, 2.0 µH ±5% primary inductance, and 5 kVRMS isolation - matching SI88320EC-ISR's low-voltage configuration requirements. This part is listed in Table 2 of the datasheet and referenced in AN892 design guide.
Is SI88320EC-ISR pin-compatible with other Si8832x variants such as SI88321EC-ISR?
No, SI88320EC-ISR is not pin-compatible with SI88321EC-ISR or SI88322EC-ISR. As shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet, SI88320EC-ISR uses pins 7 (NC), 8 (SH_FC), 13 (SS), and 14 (NC), whereas SI88321EC-ISR assigns pins 7 (HF XMTR), 8 (HF RCVR), 13 (HF XMTR), and 14 (HF RCVR). The pin functions differ significantly across Si8832x variants, requiring unique PCB layouts for each part number.
