• Features dual independent channels configured for high-side and low-side driving applications.
• Supports high peak output current capability suitable for driving power MOSFETs and IGBTs.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Applications

• Industrial motor drives and inverters
• Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS)
• Automotive power electronics systems

Isolators - Gate Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AM1 against official Skyworks documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with your PCB footprint for the wide-body SOIC-16 configuration. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status and lead times, as supply chain conditions may vary.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when high isolation voltage and robust drive strength are required in a compact surface-mount form factor. The dual-channel architecture simplifies half-bridge designs compared to single-channel alternatives. Consider the thermal performance of the wide-body package for high-current applications requiring efficient heat dissipation during continuous operation.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Si823Hx family of isolated gate drivers, which utilizes Skyworks' proprietary iCoupler technology. The family offers various channel counts and isolation ratings. The SI823H6 variant specifically denotes a dual-channel device with 2.5 kVrms isolation, distinguishing it from higher isolation or single-channel models within the same product line.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include SI823H6BB and SI823H6AD variants, provided pinout and isolation requirements match. Verify that alternative packages such as DFN-14 or SOIC-14 meet spatial constraints if physical dimensions differ significantly from the SOIC-16 form factor.
