Description
The Si823x isolated driver family combines two independent, isolated
drivers into a single package. The Si8230/1/3/4 are high-side/low-side
drivers, and the Si8232/5/6/7/8 are dual drivers. Versions with peak
output currents of 0.5 A (Si8230/1/2/7) and 4.0 A (Si8233/4/5/6/8) are
available. All drivers operate with a maximum supply voltage of 24 V.
The Si823x drivers utilize Silicon Labs' proprietary silicon isolation
technology, which provides up to 5 kVRMS withstand voltage per UL1577
and fast 60 ns propagation times. Driver outputs can be grounded to the
same or separate grounds or connected to a positive or negative voltage.
The TTL level compatible inputs with >400 mV hysteresis are available in
individual control input (Si8230/2/3/5/6/7/8) or PWM input (Si8231/4)
configurations. High integration, low propagation delay, small installed
size, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness make the Si823x family ideal for a
wide range of isolated MOSFET/IGBT gate drive applications.

Notes:
1. The values in this table correspond to the nominal creepage and clearance values as detailed in “7. Package Outline:
16-Pin Wide Body SOIC” , “9. Package Outline: 16-Pin Narrow Body SOIC” , “11. Package Outline: 14 LD LGA
(5 x 5 mm)” , and “13. Package Outline: 14 LD LGA with Thermal Pad (5 x 5 mm)” . VDE certifies the clearance and
creepage limits as 4.7 mm minimum for the NB SOIC-16 and 8.5 mm minimum for the WB SOIC-16 package. UL
does not impose a clearance and creepage minimum for component level certifications. CSA certifies the clearance
and creepage limits as 3.9 mm minimum for the NB SOIC 16 and 7.6 mm minimum for the WB SOIC-16 package.
2. To determine resistance and capacitance, the Si823x is converted into a 2-terminal device. Pins 1–8 (1-7, 14 LD LGA)
are shorted together to form the first terminal and pins 9–16 (8-14, 14 LD LGA) are shorted together to form the
second terminal. The parameters are then measured between these two terminals.
3. Measured from input pin to ground.

3. Functional Description
The operation of an Si823x channel is analogous to that of an optocoupler and gate driver, except an RF carrier is
modulated instead of light. This simple architecture provides a robust isolated data path and requires no special
considerations or initialization at start-up. A simplified block diagram for a single Si823x channel is shown in
Figure 9.

Figure 9. Simplified Channel Diagram
A channel consists of an RF Transmitter and RF Receiver separated by a semiconductor-based isolation barrier.
Referring to the Transmitter, input A modulates the carrier provided by an RF oscillator using on/off keying. The
Receiver contains a demodulator that decodes the input state according to its RF energy content and applies the
result to output B via the output driver. This RF on/off keying scheme is superior to pulse code schemes as it
provides best-in-class noise immunity, low power consumption, and better immunity to magnetic fields. See
Figure 10 for more details.

3.4. Power Supply Connections
Isolation requirements mandate individual supplies for VDDI, VDDA, and VDDB. The decoupling caps for these
supplies must be placed as close to the VDD and GND pins of the Si823x as possible. The optimum values for
these capacitors depend on load current and the distance between the chip and the regulator that powers it. Low
effective series resistance (ESR) capacitors, such as Tantalum, are recommended.
3.5. Power Dissipation Considerations
Proper system design must assure that the Si823x operates within safe thermal limits across the entire load
range.The Si823x total power dissipation is the sum of the power dissipated by bias supply current, internal
parasitic switching losses, and power dissipated by the series gate resistor and load. Equation 1 shows total
Si823x power dissipation.

P D = V DDI I DDI + 2 I DD2 V DD2 + f Q TL V DD2 -------------------- + f Q TL V DD2 -------------------- + 2fCintV DD2
Rp + Rg
Rn + Rg
where:
P D is the total Si823x device power dissipation (W)
I DDI is the input-side maximum bias current (3 mA)
I DD2 is the driver die maximum bias current (2.5 mA)
C int is the internal parasitic capacitance (75 pF for the 0.5 A driver and 370 pF for the 4.0 A driver)
V DDI is the input-side VDD supply voltage (2.7 to 5.5 V)
V DD2 is the driver-side supply voltage (10 to 24 V)
f is the switching frequency (Hz)
Q TL is the total highside bootstrap charge (see Section 2.2 of AN486)
R G is the external gate resistor
R P is the R DS ON of the driver pull-up switch: (Rp=15 for the 0.5A driver; Rp=2.7 for the 4.0A driver)
R n is the R DS ON of the driver pull-down switch: (Rn=5 for the 0.5A driver and 1 for the 4.0A driver)
Equation 1.
Power dissipation example for 0.5 A driver using Equation 1 with the following givens:
VDDI = 5.0 V

From which the driver junction temperature is calculated using Equation 2, where:
Pd is the total Si823x device power dissipation (W)
ja is the thermal resistance from junction to air (105 °C/W in this example)
T A is the ambient temperature
Rev. 1.5
23
Si823x
T j = P d ja + T A
= (0.145)(105) + 20
= 35.2 °C
The maximum power dissipation allowable for the Si823x is a function of the package thermal resistance, ambient
temperature, and maximum allowable junction temperature, as shown in Equation 2:
T jmax – T A
P Dmax --------------------------ja
where:
P Dmax = Maximum Si823x power dissipation (W)
T jmax = Si823x maximum junction temperature (150 °C)
T A = Ambient temperature (°C)
ja = Si823x junction-to-air thermal resistance (105 °C/W)
f = Si823x switching frequency (Hz)
Equation 2.
Substituting values for PDmax Tjmax, TA, and ja into Equation 2 results in a maximum allowable total power
dissipation of 1.19 W. Maximum allowable load is found by substituting this limit and the appropriate data sheet
values from Table 1 on page 6 into Equation 1 and simplifying. The result is Equation 3 (0.5 A driver) and
Equation 4 (4.0 A driver), both of which assume VDDI = 5 V and VDDA = VDDB = 18 V.

3.6. Layout Considerations
It is most important to minimize ringing in the drive path and noise on the Si823x VDD lines. Care must be taken to
minimize parasitic inductance in these paths by locating the Si823x as close to the device it is driving as possible.
In addition, the VDD supply and ground trace paths must be kept short. For this reason, the use of power and
ground planes is highly recommended. A split ground plane system having separate ground and VDD planes for
power devices and small signal components provides the best overall noise performance.
3.7. Undervoltage Lockout Operation
Device behavior during start-up, normal operation and shutdown is shown in Figure 36, where UVLO+ and UVLOare the positive-going and negative-going thresholds respectively. Note that outputs VOA and VOB default low
when input side power supply (VDDI) is not present.
3.7.1. Device Startup
Outputs VOA and VOB are held low during power-up until VDD is above the UVLO threshold for time period
tSTART. Following this, the outputs follow the states of inputs VIA and VIB.
3.7.2. Undervoltage Lockout
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) is provided to prevent erroneous operation during device startup and shutdown or
when VDD is below its specified operating circuits range. The input (control) side, Driver A and Driver B, each have
their own undervoltage lockout monitors.
The Si823x input side enters UVLO when VDDI < VDDIUV–, and exits UVLO when VDDI > VDDIUV+. The driver
outputs, VOA and VOB, remain low when the input side of the Si823x is in UVLO and their respective VDD supply
(VDDA, VDDB) is within tolerance. Each driver output can enter or exit UVLO independently. For example, VOA
unconditionally enters UVLO when VDDA falls below VDDAUV– and exits UVLO when VDDA rises above
VDDAUV+.

3.7.3. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The UVLO circuit unconditionally drives VO low when VDD is below the lockout threshold. Referring to Figures 37
through 40, upon power up, the Si823x is maintained in UVLO until VDD rises above VDDUV+. During power down,
the Si823x enters UVLO when VDD falls below the UVLO threshold plus hysteresis (i.e., VDD < VDDUV+ –
VDDHYS).

3.7.4. Control Inputs
VIA, VIB, and PWM inputs are high-true, TTL level-compatible logic inputs. A logic high signal on VIA or VIB
causes the corresponding output to go high. For PWM input versions (Si8231/4), VOA is high and VOB is low when
the PWM input is high, and VOA is low and VOB is high when the PWM input is low.
3.7.5. Disable Input
When brought high, the DISABLE input unconditionally drives VOA and VOB low regardless of the states of VIA
and VIB. Device operation terminates within tSD after DISABLE = VIH and resumes within tRESTART after
DISABLE = VIL. The DISABLE input has no effect if VDDI is below its UVLO level (i.e., VOA, VOB remain low).
3.8. Programmable Dead Time and Overlap Protection
All high-side/low-side drivers (Si8230/1/3/4) include programmable overlap protection to prevent outputs VOA and
VOB from being high at the same time. These devices also include programmable dead time, which adds a userprogrammable delay between transitions of VOA and VOB. When enabled, dead time is present on all transitions,
even after overlap recovery. The amount of dead time delay (DT) is programmed by a single resistor (RDT)
connected from the DT input to ground per Equation 5. Note that the dead time pin can be tied to VDDI or left
floating to provide a nominal dead time at approximately 400 ps.
DT 10 RDT
where:
DT = dead time (ns)
and
RDT = dead time programming resistor (k
Equation 5.
The device driving VIA and VIB should provide a minimum dead time of TDD to avoid activating overlap protection.
Input/output timing waveforms for the two-input drivers are shown in Figure 41, and dead time waveforms are
shown in Figure 42.

For both cases, D1 and CB form a conventional bootstrap circuit that allows VOA to operate as a high-side driver
for Q1, which has a maximum drain voltage of 1500 V. VOB is connected as a conventional low-side driver. Note
that the input side of the Si823x requires VDD in the range of 4.5 to 5.5 V (2.7 to 5.5 V for Si8237/8), while the
VDDA and VDDB output side supplies must be between 6.5 and 24 V with respect to their respective grounds. The
boot-strap start up time will depend on the CB cap chosen. VDD2 is usually the same as VDDB. Also note that the
bypass capacitors on the Si823x should be located as close to the chip as possible. Moreover, it is recommended
that 0.1 and 10 µF bypass capacitors be used to reduce high frequency noise and maximize performance.

referenced to a common ground or to different grounds with as much as 1500 V dc between them.

Figure 44. Si8232/5/7/8 in a Dual Driver Application
Because each output driver resides on its own die, the relative voltage polarities of VOA and VOB can reverse
without damaging the driver. That is, the voltage at VOA can be higher or lower than that of VOB by VDD without
damaging the driver. Therefore, a dual driver in a low-side high side/low side drive application can use either VOA
or VOB as the high side driver. Similarly, a dual driver can operate as a dual low-side or dual high-side driver and is
unaffected by static or dynamic voltage polarity changes.
4.3. Dual Driver with Thermally Enhanced Package (Si8236)
The thermal pad of the Si8236 must be connected to a heat spreader to lower thermal resistance. Generally, the
larger the thermal shield’s area, the lower the thermal resistance. It is recommended that thermal vias also be used
to add mass to the shield. Vias generally have much more mass than the shield alone and consume less space,
thus reducing thermal resistance more effectively. While the heat spreader is not generally a circuit ground, it is a
good reference plane for the Si8236 and is also useful as a shield layer for EMI reduction.
With a 10mm2 thermal plane on the outer layers (including 20 thermal vias), the thermal impedance of the Si8236
was measured at 50 °C/W. This is a significant improvement over the Si8235 which does not include a thermal
pad. The Si8235’s thermal resistance was measured at 105 °C /W. In addition, note that the GNDA and GNDB pins
for the Si8236 are connected together through the thermal pad.
