Product details
Overview
SI88340EC-ASR from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-channel digital isolator with integrated isolated DC-DC converter, delivering up to 2 W output power at 3.3 V or 5.0 V, supporting data rates up to 100 Mbps, propagation delay ≤23 ns, and 5000 VRMS isolation rating. It serves as a complete signal + power isolation solution in industrial motor control and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI88340EC-ASR datasheet, SI88340EC-ASR pinout, SI88340EC-ASR application, or SI88340EC-ASR equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, SOIC-24 wide-body package mapping, confirmed pin roles (including SH_FC, SS, VSNS, COMP), and two validated alternative parts for 3–5 V input to 3–5 V isolated output configurations.
Technical Context
The SI88340EC-ASR implements four unidirectional CMOS isolation channels using RF on/off keying across a silicon dioxide capacitive barrier, enabling robust noise immunity and no-startup initialization. Its integrated flyback DC-DC controller operates in peak current mode with secondary-side voltage sensing via VSNS and closed-loop regulation through internal feedback transmission.
This variant supports low-voltage configuration (3–5 V input to 3–5 V output) with internal power switches (VSW), programmable switching frequency (200–800 kHz via SH_FC/SS RC network), soft-start control (capacitor on SS), and shutdown (SH_FC high). It does not support external FET drive (ESW/RSN) or high-voltage input (>5.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5000 VRMS for 1 minute - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577, CSA 62368-1, VDE 62368-1. |
| Data Rate | Up to 100 Mbps - enables high-speed serial communication (e.g., SPI, RS-485, CAN FD) across isolation barrier. |
| Propagation Delay | ≤23 ns max - ensures tight timing alignment in real-time control loops and synchronous sampling applications. |
| DC-DC Output Power | 2 W average at 3.3/5.0 V - sufficient to power secondary-side MCU, ADC, or gate drivers without external regulators. |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial ambient environments. |
| Transient Immunity | 100 kV/µs typical - withstands fast-rising common-mode noise in motor drives and inverters. |
| Regulatory Certifications | UL, CSA, VDE, CQC certified - eliminates need for system-level safety requalification. |
Pinout & Package
SI88340EC-ASR is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-24 wide-body package (15.4 mm × 7.5 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), optimized for creepage/clearance compliance at 5000 VRMS.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 | VDDP, GNDP, VSW, VDDA, GNDA, NC | Primary-side power stage and signal supply pins; VSW drives internal transformer switch; NC must remain unconnected. |
| 7, 8, 17, 18 | SH_FC, SS, NC, NC | SH_FC enables dc-dc shutdown when high; SS sets soft-start time constant with external capacitor; both NC pins are unused. |
| 9, 10, 15, 16 | A1–A4 | Unidirectional input channels on primary side - accept CMOS logic levels (VDDA referenced). |
| 11, 12, 14, 13 | B1–B4 | Unidirectional output channels on secondary side - drive CMOS loads (VDDB referenced). |
| 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 | GNDB, VDDB, DNC/VREGB, NC, VSNS, COMP | Secondary-side ground/power; VSNS senses output voltage divider; COMP connects R/C for loop compensation; DNC/VREGB is Do-Not-Connect for ≤5.5 V outputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated DC-DC with secondary sensing | Eliminates optocoupler-based feedback, improving load regulation (<±1.5%) and reducing BOM count by ≥3 components. |
| Programmable switching frequency | 200–800 kHz tuning via SH_FC/SS RC network - enables EMI optimization without changing transformer or layout. |
| Soft-start control | Capacitor on SS pin sets startup ramp time - prevents inrush current into downstream 3.3/5 V rails during power-up. |
| RF-based isolation architecture | On/off keying modulation delivers >100 kV/µs CMTI and 0–100 Mbps operation without duty-cycle dependency. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including battery management and traction inverter control units. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad digital isolator with integrated DC-DC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI88341EC-ASR | Same SOIC-24 package and pinout; differs only in failsafe state (A1–A4 default high vs. SI88340EC-ASR default low). | Used where primary-side logic defaults must assert active-high enable on power loss (e.g., safety interlock circuits). | Select SI88341EC-ASR only if system requires high-failsafe behavior; otherwise SI88340EC-ASR is drop-in compatible. |
| ADUM6420ARWZ | SOIC-24, 4-channel, 5000 VRMS, but uses iCoupler magnetic isolation; DC-DC output fixed at 5 V, no frequency/soft-start adjustment. | Lacks programmable frequency and soft-start; lower efficiency (72% vs. 83% peak) and higher EMI without dithering. | Choose ADUM6420ARWZ only if magnetic isolation is mandated; SI88340EC-ASR offers superior EMI control and design flexibility. |
Compared with SI88340EC-ASR, SI88341EC-ASR provides identical performance with inverted failsafe logic, while ADUM6420ARWZ trades programmability and RF-based EMI resilience for magnetic isolation compatibility - making SI88340EC-ASR optimal for noise-sensitive motor control and automotive BMS designs requiring tunable power stage behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum output power capability of the SI88340EC-ASR's integrated DC-DC converter?
The SI88340EC-ASR delivers up to 2 W average output power at 3.3 V or 5.0 V under continuous operation. This is sufficient to power secondary-side microcontrollers, ADCs, or gate drivers without external regulation. Peak power exceeds 5 W briefly during startup, but thermal limits constrain sustained delivery to 2 W. The SI88340EC-ASR achieves this using internal power switches and secondary-side feedback, eliminating optocouplers and simplifying design.
Does the SI88340EC-ASR support external MOSFET drive for higher input voltages?
No. The SI88340EC-ASR is configured for low-voltage operation (3–5 V input) and uses internal power switches (VSW pin). It lacks ESW and RSN pins required for external FET drive. For 24 V input applications, Skyworks specifies Si884xx or Si886xx variants. Using SI88340EC-ASR above 5.5 V risks damage; its VDDP absolute maximum rating is 5.5 V, and the internal switch is rated only for ≤5.5 V operation.
How is the switching frequency programmed on the SI88340EC-ASR?
The SI88340EC-ASR allows programmable PWM frequency from 200 kHz to 800 kHz using an external resistor-capacitor network between SH_FC (Pin 7) and SS (Pin 8). The time constant sets the oscillator frequency; values are calculated per AN892. Unlike Si882xx/4xx fixed-frequency variants, SI88340EC-ASR gives designers EMI tuning capability without transformer redesign - a key differentiator for noise-sensitive motor control applications.
What is the function of the DNC/VREGB pin on the SI88340EC-ASR?
On the SI88340EC-ASR, the DNC/VREGB pin (Pin 19) must be left unconnected (DNC) because its internal Zener diode is intended only for >5.5 V output configurations. Since SI88340EC-ASR is rated for 3.3/5.0 V outputs, connecting this pin risks incorrect regulation or latch-up. The datasheet explicitly states "If output voltage is ≤ 5.5 V, this pin should be read as DNC or Do Not Connect." Misconnection violates safe operating area.
Is the SI88340EC-ASR pin-compatible with other Si8834x variants like SI88342EC-ASR?
Yes - all Si8834x variants (SI88340EC-ASR, SI88341EC-ASR, SI88342EC-ASR, SI88343EC-ASR, SI88344EC-ASR) share identical SOIC-24 pinout, electrical characteristics, and package dimensions. Differences are limited to failsafe logic state (A1–A4 default high/low) and internal configuration fuses. No PCB changes are needed when substituting within the Si8834x family, making SI88340EC-ASR suitable for design reuse across safety-critical and non-safety variants.
