Product details
Overview
SI88321BC-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, 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 bias supply is required.
For engineers reviewing the SI88321BC-ISR datasheet, SI88321BC-ISR pinout, SI88321BC-ISR application, or SI88321BC-ISR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions for SOIC-20W layout, confirmed 5 kVRMS isolation rating, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification, and real-world alternatives with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The SI88321BC-ISR implements RF-based on/off keying modulation across a silicon dioxide capacitive barrier for noise-immune digital isolation. Its dual-channel architecture supports independent forward (A→B) and reverse (B→A) signal paths with precise timing control.
The integrated flyback-derived DC-DC controller operates in peak current mode, senses output voltage via VSNS on the secondary side, and closes the feedback loop through an internal isolated path-eliminating optocouplers. It supports soft-start (SS pin), shutdown (SH_FC pin), and programmable switching frequency (200–800 kHz) via external RC on SH_FC/SS.

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 DC-DC; 25 Mbps max data rate; SOIC-16W package | Limited to low-power sensor interfaces; insufficient for gate driver biasing | Select when only modest isolated power (<0.5 W) and lower speed (≤25 Mbps) are needed |
| ISO7821FDWR | Dual-channel isolator only - no integrated DC-DC; requires external isolated power supply | Increases design complexity and footprint; needs external transformer + regulator | Choose when system already includes a dedicated isolated DC-DC rail and only signal isolation is required |
Compared with ADUM6210ARWZ and ISO7821FDWR, SI88321BC-ISR uniquely delivers 2 W isolated power alongside 100 Mbps dual-channel isolation in a single SOIC-20W package - enabling simplified, space-constrained designs for high-power motor drives and EV subsystems without compromising performance or safety certification.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated DC-DC output power of the SI88321BC-ISR?
The SI88321BC-ISR delivers up to 2 W of average isolated output power at 5 V, sufficient to power gate drivers, isolated ADCs, and microcontrollers on the secondary side. Peak power capability reaches 5 W transiently, but sustained operation is rated at 2 W per the datasheet's thermal limits and derating curves across temperature.
Does the SI88321BC-ISR support both 3.3 V and 5.0 V isolated output voltages?
Yes, the SI88321BC-ISR supports configurable isolated output voltages of 3.3 V or 5.0 V using external resistor dividers on the VSNS pin. The device's internal error amplifier compares the divided output to a 1.22 V reference, enabling precise regulation without optocouplers or secondary-side references.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the SI88321BC-ISR?
The SI88321BC-ISR uses the SH_FC and SS pins to set switching frequency between 200 kHz and 800 kHz via an external RC network. A capacitor on SS sets soft-start time, while the resistor between SH_FC and VDDP determines frequency-no internal oscillator trimming is required, and the configuration remains stable over temperature and voltage.
What is the purpose of the VSNS and COMP pins on the SI88321BC-ISR?
The VSNS pin receives feedback from the isolated output voltage divider to regulate DC-DC output; the COMP pin connects the external compensation network (RC) to stabilize the control loop. Together, they implement peak-current-mode control with type-I compensation-ensuring stability across load and line variations without secondary-side components.
Is the SI88321BC-ISR pin-compatible with other Si8832x variants like SI88320 or SI88322?
No, SI88321BC-ISR is not pin-compatible with SI88320 or SI88322. Pin 7 is SH_FC (shutdown/frequency control) in SI88321, whereas SI88320 uses pin 7 for NC and SI88322 repurposes it for HF XMTR. Channel mapping (A1/A2/B1/B2) and NC pin locations differ-PCB layout must be specific to SI88321BC-ISR.
