Product details
Overview
SI88620EC-ISR 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 5 V isolated output), delivering up to 2 W average output power, supporting 100 Mbps data rate, and providing 5000 VRMS isolation. It serves as a self-powered signal isolator in industrial motor control and EV inverter gate drive circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SI88620EC-ISR datasheet, SI88620EC-ISR pinout, SI88620EC-ISR application, or SI88620EC-ISR equivalent, key selection criteria include its external-FET–driven flyback topology, programmable soft-start and switching frequency, AEC-Q100 qualification, and SOIC-20 wide-body package with reinforced insulation certified to UL, VDE, and CQC standards.
Technical Context
The SI88620EC-ISR implements a modified isolated flyback DC-DC controller with external primary-side NMOS switch (driven by ESW), current sensing via RSN, and secondary-side voltage feedback through VSNS. Its RF-based digital isolation uses on/off keying across a silicon dioxide barrier, enabling 18 ns typical propagation delay and 100 kV/µs transient immunity.
This variant belongs to the Si8862x family optimized for high-input-voltage operation (up to 24 V), requiring VDDA ≤ 5.5 V and supporting VREGB-referenced external regulation for outputs > 5.5 V. It features externally adjustable soft-start (SS pin) and frequency control (SH_FC pin), with Type 1 loop compensation at COMP using 100 kΩ + capacitor.

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 | Integrated internal switches (no external FET required); lower max output power (0.5 W); fixed 250 kHz frequency; no soft-start or frequency control. | Better suited for low-power logic-level isolation where external transformer driver capability is unnecessary. | Select ADUM6210ARWZ when board space is constrained and output load ≤ 100 mA at 5 V. |
| ISO7821FDWWR | No integrated DC-DC; requires external isolated power supply; higher data rate (200 Mbps); lower prop delay (11 ns); 8000 VRMS isolation rating. | Preferred for ultra-high-speed deterministic communication where local power must be sourced separately. | Choose ISO7821FDWWR when system already includes an isolated DC-DC rail and timing-critical SPI/CAN FD links demand sub-12 ns skew. |
Compared with ADUM6210ARWZ and ISO7821FDWWR, SI88620EC-ISR uniquely combines external-FET–driven 24 V input capability, programmable soft-start/frequency, and AEC-Q100 qualification-making it the only option among the three that supports scalable 2 W isolated power in automotive-grade high-voltage systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the SI88620EC-ISR DC-DC converter?
The SI88620EC-ISR is designed for high-voltage-to-low-voltage configurations, supporting up to 24 V DC on the primary side. Its ESW pin drives an external NMOS FET, and RSN provides current sensing-enabling safe operation at 24 V input while delivering regulated 3.3 V or 5.0 V on the isolated side. Input voltages above 5.5 V require use of VREGA for VDDA biasing.
Does the SI88620EC-ISR support both forward and reverse digital isolation channels?
Yes, the SI88620EC-ISR provides two unidirectional digital isolation channels: A1→B1 and A2→B2 are forward channels; B1→A1 and B2→A2 are reverse channels. This bidirectional capability is implemented via dedicated HF XMTR/RCVR circuitry per channel, enabling full-duplex control signaling in applications like isolated UART or SPI bus extension.
What transformer specifications are validated for use with the SI88620EC-ISR?
Skyworks validates transformers including 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, 5/15 V output, multi-winding, 5 kVRMS). These meet leakage inductance (<600 nH), primary inductance (25 µH ±5%), and isolation rating requirements specified in AN901 for Si8862x designs.
How is soft-start configured on the SI88620EC-ISR?
Soft-start is configured using an external capacitor connected to the SS pin. The SI88620EC-ISR's internal timer charges this capacitor to control ramp-up of the DC-DC converter's duty cycle-limiting inrush current into output capacitance. Typical values range from 1 nF to 100 nF, with larger values extending startup time for high-capacitance loads like gate-driver rails.
Is the SI88620EC-ISR pin-compatible with other Si8862x variants such as SI88621EC-ISR?
No, SI88620EC-ISR is not pin-compatible with SI88621EC-ISR or SI88622EC-ISR. While all share the SOIC-20 wide-body package and core pin functions (e.g., ESW, VSNS, COMP), channel directionality differs: SI88620EC-ISR has two forward and two reverse channels (A1→B1, A2→B2, B1→A1, B2→A2), whereas SI88621EC-ISR configures all four as forward-only. Pin mapping and functional allocation are distinct per variant.
