Product details
Overview
SI88422EC-ASR from Skyworks Solutions is a dual-channel digital isolator with integrated isolated DC-DC converter, designed for high-voltage-to-low-voltage conversion (e.g., 24 V input to 3.3/5.0 V isolated output), supporting up to 2 W average output power and 5000 VRMS isolation. It features two unidirectional RF-based isolation channels (A1/A2 → B1/B2), 100 Mbps max data rate, and 23 ns max propagation delay. It is used in industrial inverters and automotive motor control systems requiring reinforced insulation and AEC-Q100 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the SI88422EC-ASR datasheet, SI88422EC-ASR pinout, SI88422EC-ASR application, or SI88422EC-ASR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-16 wide-body package mapping, confirmed pin functions (e.g., ESW, RSN, VSNS), automotive-grade thermal protection, and real-world design meaning for isolated power and signal integrity in high-noise environments.
Technical Context
The SI88422EC-ASR implements a modified flyback DC-DC topology with external NMOS switch drive via ESW and current sensing via RSN, enabling primary-side operation up to 24 V while delivering regulated 3.3/5.0 V on the secondary side. Its RF-based digital isolation uses on/off keying across a silicon dioxide barrier, providing 100 kV/µs transient immunity and eliminating optocoupler bias circuitry.
Unlike Si882xx/3xx variants, SI88422EC-ASR lacks SH/SH_FC and SS pins - shutdown and soft-start are not supported. It requires Type 1 loop compensation at COMP (RCOMP = 100 kΩ + CCOMP), and its VREGA pin supports external NPN regulation for VDDA when primary supply exceeds 5.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5000 VRMS for 1 minute - meets UL 1577, VDE 62368-1, and CQC GB4943.1 reinforced insulation requirements. |
| Data Rate | Up to 100 Mbps - enables high-speed serial interfaces (e.g., SPI, RS-485) across isolation barrier without timing skew. |
| Propagation Delay | 23 ns max - ensures deterministic timing for real-time motor control and feedback loops. |
| DC-DC Output Power | 2 W average at 5.0 V - sufficient to power secondary-side MCU, gate drivers, or sensors without external regulators. |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
| Transient Immunity | 100 kV/µs typical - suppresses fast transients in motor drives and HV battery systems. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Qualified - supports PPAP documentation and IMDS/CAMDS compliance for automotive OEM programs. |
Pinout & Package
SI88422EC-ASR is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-16 wide-body package (10.3 mm × 10.3 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) with creepage/clearance ≥ 8.3 mm per IEC 60664-1.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4 | A1, A2, HF XMTR, HF XMTR | Primary-side digital inputs (A1/A2) and RF transmitter outputs - drive forward channel signals into isolation barrier. |

| 13, 14, 15, 16 | VSNS, COMP, NC, B1/B2/HF RCVR | Secondary-side voltage feedback input, compensation node for DC-DC loop, no-connect, and reverse-channel receiver outputs (B1/B2). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Flyback DC-DC Controller | Drives external NMOS (via ESW) and senses primary current (RSN) - enables 24 V → 5 V conversion without internal switches. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI88420EC-ASR | Same SOIC-16 package and pinout, but single forward + single reverse channel (A1→B1, A2←B2) instead of dual forward (A1→B1, A2→B2). | Suitable for bidirectional protocols (e.g., I²C) where reverse channel is required; not for dual unidirectional PWM. | Select SI88420EC-ASR only if reverse-direction isolation is needed; SI88422EC-ASR is optimal for dual forward control signals. |
| ADUM6422AARWZ | 4-channel isolator with integrated 5 V DC-DC (2 W), but uses transformer-based isolation (not RF), lower CMTI (75 kV/µs), and no AEC-Q100 rating. | Lacks automotive qualification and fails to meet 100 kV/µs transient immunity required in EV traction systems. | Choose ADUM6422AARWZ for cost-sensitive industrial applications without automotive or high-CMTI requirements. |
Compared with SI88422EC-ASR, SI88420EC-ASR offers bidirectional flexibility at the cost of reduced forward channel count, while ADUM6422AARWZ trades automotive robustness and RF noise immunity for broader channel count and legacy transformer compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by SI88422EC-ASR's DC-DC converter?
The SI88422EC-ASR is designed for high-voltage-to-low-voltage configurations, supporting up to 24 V DC on the primary side (VDDA ≤ 5.5 V, supplied via VREGA + external NPN if needed). Its ESW and RSN pins enable external NMOS switching for safe operation at these voltages, unlike Si882xx/3xx variants limited to ≤5.5 V input.
Does SI88422EC-ASR support shutdown or soft-start functionality?
No. SI88422EC-ASR does not include SH/SH_FC or SS pins - shutdown and soft-start are not implemented in this variant. These features are present only in Si882xx, Si883xx, and Si886xx families. SI88422EC-ASR relies on external enable control of the primary supply or external FET gate driver for power sequencing.
What transformer is recommended for SI88422EC-ASR in a 24 V to 5 V application?
Skyworks validates UMEC UTB02250s (7–24 V input, 3.3–5.5 V output, 3.0:1 turns ratio, 5 kVRMS isolation) and Coilcraft TA7788-AL (12 V input, 5 V output, 5 kVRMS) for SI88422EC-ASR. Both meet leakage inductance (<600 nH) and primary inductance (25 µH ±5%) specs required for stable 2 W output regulation.
How is the isolated output voltage set on SI88422EC-ASR?
The isolated output voltage (VDDB) is set by an external resistor divider (R1/R2) connected to the VSNS pin. The formula is VOUT = VSNS × (1 + R1/R2) + IOFFSET × R1, where VSNS references an internal 1.22 V bandgap. This secondary-side sensing eliminates optocouplers and achieves ±1% load regulation.
Is SI88422EC-ASR pin-compatible with other Si884xx variants like SI88420EC-ASR?
Yes - SI88422EC-ASR shares identical SOIC-16 wide-body packaging and pinout with SI88420EC-ASR and SI88421EC-ASR. Channel configuration differs (dual forward vs. bidirectional), but PCB layout, footprint, and peripheral circuitry (transformer, RSN, ESW, VSNS, COMP) remain fully interchangeable.
