SI8230AD-D-IS3

Isolators - Gate Drivers Overview

The SI8230AD-D-IS3 is a galvanically isolated gate driver from the Si823x series, manufactured by Skyworks Solutions. It features two channels configured for high-side and low-side applications within a 14-pin SOIC-Wide package. The device provides 5 kVrms isolation voltage with an 8 mm creepage distance. It operates with a 5 V undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and supports TTL logic inputs. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 45 ns, rise and fall times of 20 ns each, and a peak output current capability of 500 mA. The component is qualified to AEC-Q100 standards and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Feature Summary

• Provides galvanic isolation between control and power stages using silicon technology.

• Automotive electronics systems

Isolators - Gate Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IS3R or IS3 against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging versus tube quantities. Ensure the UVLO threshold matches the 5V specification required by the target application. Confirm AEC-Q100 qualification status if automotive compliance is mandatory. Check moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during assembly.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel isolated driver with 5 kVrms isolation is required. The 500 mA output current suits medium-power MOSFET or IGBT driving needs. The 8 mm creepage distance offers enhanced safety clearance compared to standard packages. Consider the 45 ns propagation delay for timing-sensitive switching applications.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Si823x family of isolated gate drivers from Skyworks Solutions. The family utilizes capacitive coupling technology for signal transmission across the isolation barrier. The SI8230 variant specifically targets applications requiring moderate output current and robust isolation performance.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Replacement Considerations

Consult official Skyworks substitution guides for verified alternatives. Cross-reference pinouts and isolation ratings before replacing with other Si823x models.
