Si8285/86 Data Sheet
SiC FET-Ready ISODrivers with System Safety Features
The Si828x (Si8285 and Si8286) are isolated, high current gate drivers with integrated system safety and feedback functions. The devices are ideal for driving Silicon Carbide (SiC) FETs, power MOSFETs, and IGBTs used in a wide variety of inverter and motor control applications. The Si8285 and Si8286 isolated gate drivers utilize Skyworks' proprietary silicon isolation technology, supporting up to 5.0 kVrms withstand voltage per UL1577. This technology enables higher performance, reduced variation with temperature and age, tighter part-to-part matching, and superior common-mode rejection compared to other isolated gate driver technologies.
