Product details
Overview
SI88620ED-ASR 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 on the secondary side. It features two unidirectional CMOS isolation channels (A1/A2 → B1/B2), 100 Mbps data rate, 23 ns max propagation delay, and 5000 VRMS reinforced isolation. Used in industrial motor control and EV battery management systems where galvanic separation and local isolated power are required.
For engineers reviewing the SI88620ED-ASR datasheet, SI88620ED-ASR pinout, SI88620ED-ASR application, or SI88620ED-ASR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-20W package mapping, functional pin roles, automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualification, and real-world design context for isolated gate drive, PLC I/O, and high-voltage power supply feedback loops.
Technical Context
The SI88620ED-ASR implements capacitive RF-based digital isolation using on/off keying across a silicon dioxide barrier, enabling robust noise immunity and zero initialization latency. Its isolated flyback DC-DC controller operates in peak current mode with external NMOS switch (ESW-driven), current sensing (RSN), and secondary-side voltage feedback (VSNS).
This variant supports high-voltage-to-low-voltage conversion (e.g., 24 V input to 5 V isolated output) and includes programmable soft-start (SS pin), shutdown (SH_FC pin), and frequency control (SH_FC/SS RC network). Compensation uses fixed 100 kΩ RCOMP with external CCOMP per AN901 guidelines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
SI88620ED-ASR is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-20 wide-body package (10.3 mm × 15.4 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) with reinforced creepage and clearance for 5000 VRMS isolation. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; isolation barrier separates pins 1–10 (primary side) from pins 11–20 (secondary side).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GNDP | Primary-side power ground | Reference for VDDP and ESW; must be low-inductance connected to primary ground plane. |
| 2 RSN | Primary-side current sense input | Monitors peak switch current for cycle-by-cycle protection; connects to shunt resistor between Q1 source and GNDP. |
| 3 ESW | External switch driver output | Drives gate of external NMOS Q1; supports >5.5 V primary-side operation (e.g., 24 V input). |
| 4 VDDA | Primary-side signal power supply | Supplies isolator logic and controller core; requires ≤5.5 V; bypassed with 1 µF ceramic near pin. |
| 5 GNDA | Primary-side signal ground | Reference for A1/A2 inputs; separate from GNDP but tied via short trace per layout guide. |
| 6 VREGA | Voltage reference output | Zener-referenced output used with external NPN to generate VDDA when no suitable primary supply exists. |
| 7 NC | No connect | Not bonded; leave floating or grounded per PCB design rules (no electrical function). |
| 8 SH_FC | Shutdown and frequency control | High = dc-dc shutdown; RC network with SS sets switching frequency (200–800 kHz) for EMI optimization. |
| 9 SS | Soft-start control | Capacitor to GND sets startup ramp time; prevents inrush into transformer and secondary capacitance. |
| 10 NC | No connect | Not bonded; leave floating or grounded. |
| 11 GNDB | Secondary-side signal ground | Reference for B1/B2 outputs and VDDB; isolated from GNDA; ties to secondary ground plane. |
| 12 VDDB | Secondary-side signal power supply | Powered by internal dc-dc; supplies isolated logic; decoupled with 10 µF tantalum + 100 nF ceramic. |
| 13 NC | No connect | Not bonded; leave floating or grounded. |
| 14 VSNS | Secondary-side feedback input | Resistor divider from VOUT sets regulated output voltage; error encoded and transmitted across barrier. |
| 15 COMP | Compensation node | Connects RCOMP (100 kΩ) and CCOMP to GNDB for stable loop compensation per AN901. |
| 16 NC | No connect | Not bonded; leave floating or grounded. |
| 17 A1 | Primary-side input channel 1 | Unidirectional digital input (CMOS); drives HF XMTR; supports 0–100 Mbps with fail-safe default low. |
| 18 A2 | Primary-side input channel 2 | Unidirectional digital input (CMOS); independent of A1; same timing and fail-safe behavior. |
| 19 B1 | Secondary-side output channel 1 | Isolated CMOS output driven by HF RCVR; matches A1 state with 23 ns max delay; 50 Ω drive strength. |
| 20 B2 | Secondary-side output channel 2 | Isolated CMOS output driven by HF RCVR; matches A2 state; fully independent timing path. |

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 dc-dc; SOIC-16W; 2500 VRMS isolation; no programmable frequency or soft-start. | Limited to lower-power secondary loads; lacks RSN/ESW for >5.5 V primary operation. | Choose ADUM6210ARWZ for cost-sensitive, lower-power (<0.5 W) applications where 2500 VRMS suffices. |
| ISO7821FDWR | 2-channel isolator only (no dc-dc); SOIC-16W; 5000 VRMS; 100 Mbps; requires external isolated power supply. | Needs external isolated DC-DC or transformer-based supply; increases BOM count and board area. | Choose ISO7821FDWR when system already provides isolated 5 V, or when higher channel count scalability is needed. |

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated output power of the SI88620ED-ASR?
The SI88620ED-ASR delivers up to 2 W of average isolated output power at 5 V on the secondary side. This is achieved using an external NMOS switch driven by the ESW pin, a transformer, and Schottky rectifier. Peak power capability exceeds 5 W briefly, but continuous operation is rated at 2 W per the datasheet's thermal limits and derating curves across –40 °C to +125 °C ambient.
Does the SI88620ED-ASR support 24 V primary-side input?
Yes, the SI88620ED-ASR is specifically configured for high-voltage-to-low-voltage conversion, supporting up to 24 V primary-side input. It uses the ESW pin to drive an external NMOS transistor and the RSN pin for current sensing-enabling safe, efficient operation beyond the 5.5 V limit of internal switches. This configuration is validated in AN901 and referenced in Figure 9 of the datasheet.
What is the purpose of the VREGA pin on the SI88620ED-ASR?
The VREGA pin on the SI88620ED-ASR is a Zener-referenced voltage output (typically 5.0 V) used to generate the primary-side VDDA supply when no suitable low-voltage rail exists. When paired with an external NPN transistor, resistor, and capacitor, it forms a simple linear regulator-eliminating the need for a separate LDO in high-input-voltage systems like 24 V-powered PLC modules.
How does the SI88620ED-ASR achieve its 100 kV/µs CMTI rating?
The SI88620ED-ASR achieves 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity through its capacitive RF isolation architecture-using differential on/off keying across a silicon dioxide barrier. Unlike optocouplers or magnetic couplers, this method avoids saturation and provides inherent rejection of fast dV/dt events, validated per IEC 61000-4-4 testing at full 5000 VRMS working voltage.
Is the SI88620ED-ASR pin-compatible with other Si8862x variants?
Yes, all Si8862x variants-including SI88620ED-ASR, SI88621ED-ASR, and SI88622ED-ASR-share identical SOIC-20W pinouts and package dimensions. Differences lie only in channel directionality (unidirectional A→B vs. bidirectional) and fail-safe defaults, not pin function or assignment. This enables drop-in firmware or layout reuse across the Si8862x family.
