Product details
Overview
SI88621BC-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), supporting up to 2 W average output power, 5000 VRMS isolation rating, and 100 kV/µs transient immunity. It operates across –40 to +125 °C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the SI88621BC-ISR datasheet, SI88621BC-ISR pinout, SI88621BC-ISR application, or SI88621BC-ISR equivalent, this device delivers verified isolated power and signal transfer in high-noise industrial and automotive systems where primary-side voltage exceeds 5.5 V and secondary-side regulation must be precise and optocoupler-free.
Technical Context
The SI88621BC-ISR implements a modified flyback DC-DC topology with external NMOS switch control via ESW pin and current sensing via RSN pin, enabling robust 24 V primary-side operation. Its RF-based digital isolation uses on/off keying across a silicon dioxide barrier, delivering 100 Mbps data rate and 18 ns typical propagation delay.
It features externally programmable soft-start (SS pin), shutdown (SH_FC pin), and switching frequency (SH_FC/SS RC network), with secondary-side voltage feedback through VSNS and loop compensation at COMP pin using 100 kΩ series resistance and calculated CCOMP.

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 only; max 5 V input; no external FET drive or RSN sensing. | Limited to ≤5.5 V primary-side operation; unsuitable for 24 V bus applications. | Select when primary supply is ≤5 V and board space is constrained - no transformer driver needed. |
| ISO7821FDWR | No integrated DC-DC; requires external isolated power supply; 5000 VRMS isolation, 100 Mbps. | Demands separate isolated DC-DC (e.g., transformer + controller), increasing design complexity and footprint. | Select when power architecture already includes dedicated isolated supply and only signal isolation is required. |
Compared with ADUM6210ARWZ and ISO7821FDWR, the SI88621BC-ISR uniquely supports 24 V primary-side operation with external FET control and secondary-side feedback, making it the only option among the three that eliminates optocouplers *and* accommodates high-input-voltage industrial and automotive systems without redesigning the power stage.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the SI88621BC-ISR DC-DC converter?
The SI88621BC-ISR supports up to 24 V DC on the primary side, enabled by its external NMOS driver (ESW pin) and current sense input (RSN pin). This high-voltage capability distinguishes it from low-input variants like Si882xx/Si883xx and makes it suitable for automotive 12/24 V systems and industrial 24 V control rails without requiring pre-regulation.
Does the SI88621BC-ISR require an external transformer? If so, what are validated options?
Yes, the SI88621BC-ISR requires an external miniature transformer. Validated parts include UMEC UTB02250s (7–24 V in, 3.3–5.5 V out, 5 kVRMS), Coilcraft TA7788-AL (12 V in, 5/15 V out), and Pulse PA4897NL (8–24 V in/out, 5 kVRMS). All meet leakage inductance, turns ratio, and isolation rating requirements specified in Skyworks AN901.
How does the SI88621BC-ISR achieve secondary-side voltage regulation without optocouplers?
The SI88621BC-ISR uses an internal feedback path that encodes the VSNS pin voltage (derived from a resistor divider on the secondary side) and transmits the error signal across the isolation barrier to the primary-side controller. This closed-loop scheme replaces optocouplers entirely, improving long-term stability and reducing component count versus legacy isolated DC-DC designs.
What is the purpose of the SH_FC and SS pins on the SI88621BC-ISR?
SH_FC (pin 7) is the shutdown and frequency control input: driving it high disables the DC-DC converter; configuring it with an RC network sets switching frequency between 200–800 kHz. SS (pin 13) controls soft-start timing via an external capacitor, limiting inrush current during power-up - both features are exclusive to Si883xx/Si886xx families and not present in Si882xx/Si884xx.
Is the SI88621BC-ISR pin-compatible with other Si8862x variants such as SI88620BC-ISR or SI88622BC-ISR?
Yes, all Si8862x variants (SI88620BC-ISR, SI88621BC-ISR, SI88622BC-ISR) share identical SOIC-20 pinouts and mechanical footprints. Differences lie only in channel directionality (e.g., SI88621BC-ISR has two forward channels A1/A2 → B1/B2), not pin function or assignment - enabling layout reuse across functional variants.
