SI8230AC-AS1

Isolators - Gate Drivers Overview

The SI8230AC-AS1 is a dual-channel, galvanically isolated gate driver from the Si823x series by Skyworks Solutions. It features a 3.75 kVrms insulation voltage and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The device provides high-side and low-side configurations with a maximum propagation delay of 45 ns, rise/fall times of 20 ns, and an output current capability of 500 mA. It consumes 3.5 mA of quiescent current, dissipates up to 1.2 W of power, and accepts TTL logic inputs. Packaged in a 16-pin SOIC-Narrow format on a reel, it supports automotive applications requiring high electromagnetic immunity.
