High voltage isolated gate driver SKYWORKS SI8284EC-AS designed for silicon carbide FET and inverter control
Product Description
The Si828x family (Si8281/82/83/84) comprises isolated, high-current gate drivers with integrated system safety and feedback functions, ideal for driving Silicon Carbide (SiC) FETs, power MOSFETs, and IGBTs in inverter and motor control applications. Utilizing Skyworks' proprietary silicon isolation technology, these devices offer up to 5.0 kVrms withstand voltage per UL1577, providing superior performance, reduced variation with temperature and age, tighter part-to-part matching, and enhanced common-mode rejection. The integrated DC-DC controller simplifies the implementation of an isolated supply for the driver side. The Si828x family offers two DC-DC controller configurations: Si8281/83 with integrated power switches (limited DC-DC voltage input) and Si8282/84 with external power switches (higher voltage input). Options include user-adjustable frequency for minimizing emissions, soft-start for safety, and shut-down capability. The devices require minimal passive components and a miniature transformer. Input is a complementary digital input with several control and feedback digital signals on the isolation input side. The controller receives driver-side power and fault state information and recovers from faults via an active-low reset pin. On the output side, separate pull-up and pull-down pins are provided for the gate. A dedicated DSAT pin detects desaturation, initiating a controlled shutdown with soft shutdown. An integrated Miller clamp ensures strong power switch turn-off.
