Product details
Overview
SI88621EC-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, 100 Mbps data rate, and 5000 VRMS isolation rating. It serves as a complete signal + power isolation solution in motor control inverters and industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the SI88621EC-ISR datasheet, SI88621EC-ISR pinout, SI88621EC-ISR application, or SI88621EC-ISR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-20 wide-body package details, AEC-Q100 qualification status, and validated alternative options for automotive and industrial isolated power + signal designs.
Technical Context
The SI88621EC-ISR implements RF-based capacitive digital isolation across two unidirectional channels using on/off keying modulation, achieving 18 ns typical propagation delay and 100 kV/µs transient immunity. Its isolated DC-DC converter uses peak current mode control with external flyback topology, requiring an external NMOS switch (driven by ESW), current sense resistor (RSN), and transformer.
This variant belongs to the Si8862x family optimized for high-voltage primary-side operation (up to 24 V), featuring externally programmable soft-start (SS pin), shutdown (SH_FC pin), and switching frequency (via SH_FC/SS RC network). It senses output voltage on the secondary side via VSNS and closes the loop through internal isolation feedback - eliminating optocouplers.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
SI88621EC-ISR is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-20 wide-body package with 1.27 mm pitch and reinforced creepage/clearance. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pins 1–10 are on the left side (primary side), pins 11–20 on the right (secondary side), separated by an internal silicon dioxide isolation barrier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GNDP | Primary-side power ground | Reference for VDDP and ESW; must be short-traced to VDDP bypass capacitor. |
| 2 RSN | Primary-side current sense input | Connects to shunt resistor for overcurrent protection and cycle-skipping control at light loads. |
| 3 ESW | External switch driver output | Drives external NMOS FET (Q1) in high-voltage flyback configuration; replaces internal VSW for >5.5 V inputs. |
| 4 VDDA | Primary-side signal supply | Must be ≤5.5 V; if unavailable, VREGA + external NPN can generate regulated VDDA. |
| 5 GNDA | Primary-side signal ground | Separate from GNDP; connects to A1/A2 reference; requires low-inductance tie to GNDP near IC. |
| 6 SH_FC | Shutdown and frequency control | High = shutdown; RC network with SS sets switching frequency (200–800 kHz) for EMI optimization. |
| 7 NC | No connect | Not bonded; leave floating or grounded per layout best practice. |
| 8 SS | Soft-start timing capacitor | External capacitor sets startup ramp time to limit inrush current into transformer primary. |
| 9 A1, A2 | Primary-side digital input channels | CMOS-compatible unidirectional inputs; support 0–100 Mbps; UVLO-protected during power-up. |
| 10 NC | No connect | Not bonded; leave floating or grounded. |
| 11 GNDB | Secondary-side signal ground | Reference for VDDB and B1/B2; isolated from GNDA; connects to COMP/VSNS return path. |
| 12 VDDB | Secondary-side signal supply | Powered by isolated DC-DC output; supplies B1/B2 I/O and optional external loads up to 2 W. |
| 13 B1, B2 | Secondary-side digital output channels | CMOS outputs referenced to VDDB; fail-safe default state configurable via external pull-ups. |
| 14 NC | No connect | Not bonded; leave floating or grounded. |
| 15 VSNS | Secondary-side feedback input | Resistor divider from VDDB feeds this pin; sets regulated output voltage (e.g., 5 V) via internal error amp. |
| 16 COMP | Compensation network connection | RC network (RCOMP = 100 kΩ + CCOMP) stabilizes flyback control loop; type-1 compensation required. |
| 17 NC | No connect | Not bonded; leave floating or grounded. |
| 18 VREGA | Voltage reference for external regulator | Used with external NPN to generate VDDA when primary supply >5.5 V; Zener-clamped at ~5.5 V. |
| 19 DNC/VREGB | Do-not-connect / secondary-side reference | Read as DNC unless VDDB >5.5 V; then used as reference for secondary-side external regulation. |
| 20 NC | No connect | Not bonded; leave floating or grounded. |

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated DC-DC output power of the SI88621EC-ISR?
The SI88621EC-ISR delivers up to 2 W average output power at 5 V on the secondary side. This is achieved using an external NMOS switch driven by the ESW pin, current sensing via RSN, and a properly selected flyback transformer - enabling direct powering of isolated gate drivers, ADCs, or microcontrollers without additional regulators.
Does the SI88621EC-ISR support programmable switching frequency?
Yes, the SI88621EC-ISR supports programmable switching frequency from 200 kHz to 800 kHz using an RC network connected between the SH_FC and SS pins. This capability allows EMI optimization during automotive EMC testing and helps avoid interference with sensitive communication bands in industrial systems.
How does the SI88621EC-ISR achieve reinforced insulation certification?
The SI88621EC-ISR achieves reinforced insulation certification (UL 1577, CSA 62368-1, VDE 62368-1) through its SOIC-20 wide-body package with 8.3 mm creepage/clearance, internal 5000 VRMS silicon dioxide capacitive barrier, and design validation across all stress conditions - including partial discharge, surge, and temperature cycling per IEC 60747-17.
Can the SI88621EC-ISR operate with a 24 V primary-side input?
Yes, the SI88621EC-ISR is explicitly designed for high-voltage-to-low-voltage configurations, including 24 V input to 5 V isolated output. It uses the ESW pin to drive an external NMOS switch and the RSN pin for current sensing - enabling robust operation beyond the 5.5 V limit of internal switches found in Si882xx/3xx variants.
What is the role of the VREGA pin on the SI88621EC-ISR?
The VREGA pin on the SI88621EC-ISR provides a stable ~5.5 V reference used with an external NPN transistor and resistive divider to generate a regulated VDDA supply when the primary-side input exceeds 5.5 V - eliminating the need for a separate linear regulator and simplifying power architecture in 12 V or 24 V systems.
