Product details
Overview
SI88443EC-ISR from Skyworks Solutions is a quad-channel digital isolator with integrated isolated DC-DC converter, delivering up to 5 W output power at 3.3 V or 5.0 V, supporting data rates up to 100 Mbps, propagation delay ≤23 ns, and reinforced isolation rated at 5000 VRMS. It serves as a complete signal + power isolation solution in high-noise industrial motor drives and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SI88443EC-ISR datasheet, SI88443EC-ISR pinout, SI88443EC-ISR application, or SI88443EC-ISR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions for SOIC-20W layout, real-world application mappings, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and implementation differences.
Technical Context
The SI88443EC-ISR implements four unidirectional RF-based digital isolation channels across a silicon dioxide capacitive barrier, using on/off keying modulation for best-in-class noise immunity and magnetic field rejection. Its integrated flyback DC-DC controller operates with external NMOS switch (driven by ESW), current sensing via RSN, and secondary-side voltage feedback through VSNS.
This device belongs to the Si884xx series optimized for high-voltage input configurations (up to 24 V primary), requiring external power switch and shunt resistor, with fixed 250 kHz default switching frequency and no shutdown or soft-start pins - distinguishing it from Si882xx/3xx/6xx variants.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI88442EC-ISR | Same SOIC-20W package and pinout; differs only in failsafe output state (low vs. high) during loss of input power or isolation barrier fault. | Used where default-low output is required for fail-safe gate driver disable or alarm activation upon power loss. | Select SI88442EC-ISR when system safety logic mandates active-low default behavior; otherwise SI88443EC-ISR is preferred for standard high-impedance or high-level default. |
| ADUM6420ARWZ | 4-channel isolator + isolated DC-DC (500 mW, not 5 W); uses iCoupler® transformer isolation; SOIC-20W package but different pin mapping (no RSN/ESW pins). | Limited to low-power isolated peripherals (e.g., isolated UART, low-current sensors); cannot drive gate drivers or high-current loads. | Choose ADUM6420ARWZ only for space-constrained, low-power applications where 500 mW isolated supply suffices; SI88443EC-ISR is required for >1 W load capability and high-voltage primary operation. |
Compared with SI88442EC-ISR, SI88443EC-ISR offers identical isolation performance and power capability but guarantees failsafe high output state - critical for enabling gate drivers on power-up. Versus ADUM6420ARWZ, SI88443EC-ISR delivers 10× more isolated power and supports 24 V primary inputs with external FET control, making it suitable for high-power industrial and automotive subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated DC-DC output power supported by SI88443EC-ISR?
The SI88443EC-ISR supports up to 5 W peak isolated output power, with 2 W average at 5 V. This is achieved using an external NMOS power switch driven by the ESW pin and current sensing via RSN - enabling high-efficiency flyback operation from 24 V primary inputs. The actual deliverable power depends on transformer selection, layout, and thermal management; validated reference designs achieve full 5 W with UMEC UTB02250s or Coilcraft TA7788-AL transformers.
Does SI88443EC-ISR include built-in shutdown or soft-start functionality?
No, SI88443EC-ISR does not include shutdown (SH) or soft-start (SS) pins - these features are absent in all Si884xx devices per datasheet Section 2.3.1 and 2.3.2. Unlike Si882xx/3xx/6xx variants, SI88443EC-ISR relies on external circuitry for controlled startup and disable. Its fixed 250 kHz switching frequency and lack of SH/SS pins simplify design for high-voltage primary applications where deterministic timing is prioritized over programmability.
What transformer is recommended for use with SI88443EC-ISR in a 24 V to 5 V isolated power design?
For 24 V input to 5 V output, Skyworks validates the UMEC UTB02250s (turns ratio 3.0:1.0, 25 µH primary inductance, 5 kVRMS isolation) and Coilcraft TA7788-AL (1.00:1.25:0.75 triple winding, 5 kVRMS). Both meet leakage inductance (<600 nH), primary resistance (<0.49 Ω), and isolation requirements specified in AN901. These transformers enable full 5 W output with <83% peak efficiency when paired with appropriate Schottky diode and output capacitor selection.
How does the failsafe output behavior of SI88443EC-ISR differ from SI88442EC-ISR?
SI88443EC-ISR defaults to high-state output on all four channels during power loss, isolation barrier failure, or undervoltage lockout - ensuring gate drivers remain enabled unless actively commanded off. In contrast, SI88442EC-ISR defaults to low-state output under the same conditions. This difference is hardwired in silicon and affects system-level safety architecture; SI88443EC-ISR is selected when fail-high behavior aligns with functional safety goals (e.g., safe torque off not required on initial fault).
Can SI88443EC-ISR operate with a 3.3 V primary supply?
No - SI88443EC-ISR is designed exclusively for high-voltage primary operation (up to 24 V), requiring external NMOS switching via ESW and current sensing via RSN. It lacks internal power switches and cannot function with 3.3 V or 5 V primary supplies. For low-voltage input applications, Skyworks specifies Si882xx or Si883xx families (e.g., SI88243ED-IS), which integrate internal switches and support 3–5.5 V primary inputs.
