SI8286BD-IS

Isolators - Gate Drivers Overview

The SI8286BD-IS is an automotive-grade, galvanically isolated gate driver designed for Silicon Carbide (SiC) and IGBT applications. It features a wide-body SOIC-16 package to support high creepage distances. Key electrical parameters include a peak output current of 4 A, a maximum propagation delay of 50 ns, and rise/fall times of 5.5 ns and 8.5 ns respectively. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, delivering up to 30 V output. It is qualified under AEC-Q100 standards and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Feature Summary

• Capacitive coupling technology provides high common-mode transient immunity.
• Wide-body SOIC-16 package supports increased isolation creepage requirements.
• AEC-Q100 qualification ensures reliability for automotive environments.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Applications

• Silicon Carbide (SiC) power module gate driving
• Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) switching control
• Automotive traction inverter systems

Isolators - Gate Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IS' corresponds to the tube packaging format rather than reel variants like 'ASR' or 'ISR'. Confirm that the wide-body SOIC-16 footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the procurement channel sources genuine Skyworks Solutions Inc. components to maintain AEC-Q100 compliance and avoid counterfeit risks associated with restricted supply conditions.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when high isolation voltage and fast switching speeds are required for SiC or IGBT devices. The 4 A drive strength suits medium-power applications, while the wide-body package addresses strict safety clearance needs. Consider the 50 ns propagation delay for timing-sensitive circuits. Compare against lower-current alternatives if load requirements are minimal.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Si8286 series of isolated gate drivers from Skyworks Solutions. It complements other variants such as SI8286BD-ASR and SI8286BD-ISR, which share similar electrical characteristics but differ in packaging formats. The series targets modern power electronics requiring robust galvanic isolation and high-speed signal transmission.

Isolators - Gate Drivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SI8286BD-ASR and SI8286BD-ISR. Verify that the alternative packaging (reel vs. tube) aligns with assembly line capabilities. Ensure the replacement maintains the same wide-body SOIC-16 dimensions and AEC-Q100 qualification status.
