Getting Started

When designing with the SI823H2BD-IS3, ensure proper decoupling capacitors are placed near the VDD and VDDA/VDDB pins to minimize switching noise. Engineers can evaluate this technology using the Skyworks Si823Hx evaluation kits to test dead-time programming and switching performance. Layout is critical; maintain sufficient creepage and clearance distances as specified for the 14-SOIC wide-body package.
