SI8230AD-D-IS3 - SILICON LABS

Si823x Data Sheet

0.5 and 4.0 Amp ISOdrivers (2.5 and 5 kVRMS)

The Si823x isolated driver family combines two independent, isolated drivers into a sin-

gle package. The Si8230/1/3/4 are high-side/low-side drivers, while the Si8232/5/7/8 are

dual drivers. Versions with peak output currents of 0.5 A (Si8230/1/2/7) and 4.0 A

(Si8233/4/5/8) 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 45 ns propagation times.

Driver outputs can be grounded to the same or separate grounds or connected to a pos-

itive or negative voltage. The TTL level compatible inputs with >400 mV hysteresis are

available in individual control input (Si8230/2/3/5/7/8) or PWM input (Si8231/4) configu-

rations. 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.

Automotive Grade is available for certain part numbers. These products are built using

automotive-specific flows at all steps in the manufacturing process to ensure the robust-

ness and low defectivity required for automotive applications.

2.2 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 the figure below.

Figure 2.4. 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 the figure below for more details.

2.6 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.

2.7 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.

From which the driver junction temperature is calculated using Equation 2, where:

Pd is the total Si823x device power dissipation (W)

θja is the thermal resistance from junction to air (105 °C/W in this example)

TA is the ambient temperature

Tj=Pd×Θja ×TA= (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:

PDmax ≤Tjmax − TA

Θja

where:

PDmax = Maximum Si823x power dissipation (W)

Tjmax = Si823x maximum junction temperature (150 °C)

TA = Ambient temperature (20 °C)

Θja = Si823x junction-to-air thermal resistance (105 °C/W)

Equation 2

Substituting values for PDmax Tjmax, TA, and θja into Equation 2 results in a maximum allowable total power dissipation of 1.29 W. Maxi-

mum allowable load is found by substituting this limit and the appropriate data sheet values from Table 3.1 Electrical Characteristics1

on page 24 into Equation 1 and simplifying. The result is Equation 3 (0.5 A driver) and Equation 4 (4.0 A driver), both of which as-

sume VDDI = 5 V and VDDA = VDDB = 18 V.

2.8 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 sys-

tem having separate ground and VDD planes for power devices and small signal components provides the best overall noise perform-

ance.

2.9 Undervoltage Lockout Operation

Device behavior during start-up, normal operation and shutdown is shown in Figure 2.30 Device Behavior during Normal Operation and

Shutdown on page 21, where UVLO+ and UVLO- are 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.

2.9.1 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.

Si823x Data Sheet

System Overview

silabs.com | Building a more connected world. Rev. 2.15 | 20

2.9.2 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+.

2.9.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

The UVLO circuit unconditionally drives VO low when VDD is below the lockout threshold. 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).

2.9.4 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.

2.9.5 Disable Input

When brought high, the DISABLE input unconditionally drives VOA and VOB low regardless of the states of VIA and VIB. Device opera-

tion 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).

2.10 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 user-programmable 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 programing resistor (kΩ)

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 2.31 Input / Output Waveforms for High-Side / Low-Side Two-Input Drivers on

page 22, and dead time waveforms are shown in Figure 2.32 Dead Time Waveforms for High-Side / Low-Side Two-input Drivers on

page 23.

nal. The parameters are then measured between these two terminals.

3. Measured from input pin to ground.

Figure 4.1. Si823x in Half-Bridge Application

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. The boot-strap start up time will depend on the CB cap chosen. See application note, “AN486: High-

Side Bootstrap Design Using Si823x ISODrivers in Power Delivery Systems”. VOB is connected as a conventional low-side driver, and,

in most cases, VDD2 is the same as VDDB. 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. It is recommended that bypass capacitors of 0.1 and 1 µF value be used on the Si823x input side and that they be located as

close to the chip as possible. Moreover, it is recommended that 0.1 and 10 µF bypass capacitors, located as close to the chip as possi-

ble, be used on the Si823x output side to reduce high-frequency noise and maximize performance.

4.2 Dual Driver

The figure below shows the Si823x configured as a dual driver. Note that the drain voltages of Q1 and Q2 can be referenced to a com-

mon ground or to different grounds with as much as 1500 V dc between them.

Figure 4.2. 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.
