SI8220CD-D-ISR

Isolators - Gate Drivers Overview

The SI8220CD-D-ISR is a single-channel optically isolated gate driver from Skyworks Solutions, designed for high-voltage power switching applications. It features a 5000Vrms isolation voltage and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The device provides a peak output current of 2.5A with typical rise and fall times of 20ns. Propagation delays are specified at a maximum of 60ns (tpLH) and 40ns (tpHL). It utilizes a 16-SOIC package and meets AEC-Q100 automotive qualification standards.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Feature Summary

• Provides galvanic isolation via optical coupling technology
• Delivers high peak drive current for efficient power switch control
• Ensures signal integrity through high common-mode transient immunity
• Supports wide operating temperature ranges for industrial environments

Isolators - Gate Drivers Applications

• Motor drive systems
• Industrial inverters
• Switched-mode power supplies

Isolators - Gate Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ISR' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the AEC-Q100 qualification status remains active for the intended automotive application. Ensure the 16-SOIC footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Check for any recent product change notices regarding manufacturing location or material composition updates.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when high-voltage isolation is required between low-voltage control logic and high-power switches. The 2.5A output capability suits medium-power IGBTs and MOSFETs. Consider the 5000Vrms rating for safety compliance in mains-connected equipment. Evaluate the propagation delay specifications against system timing requirements to ensure adequate dead-time management.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Si8220 series of isolated gate drivers. The series includes variants with different channel counts and output currents. The SI8220CD-D-ISR specifically denotes the single-channel version with the reel packaging option. It complements other Skyworks isolation products by offering optical isolation alternatives to capacitive or magnetic technologies.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the same Skyworks family. Verify if alternative manufacturers offer comparable isolation voltages and drive currents. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 16-SOIC package dimensions and thermal characteristics.
