Product details
Overview
ADUM7442CRQZ from Analog Devices is a quad-channel digital isolator using iCoupler® transformer-based isolation, providing 1 kVRMS galvanic isolation between two independent 3.0–5.5 V domains. It supports bidirectional NRZ data transmission up to 25 Mbps, features 3 V/5 V level translation, and delivers low pulse width distortion (<5 ns, C grade) with high common-mode transient immunity (>15 kV/µs). It is used in isolated SPI interfaces for industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM7442CRQZ datasheet, ADUM7442CRQZ pinout, ADUM7442CRQZ application, or ADUM7442CRQZ equivalent, key selection criteria include channel direction configuration (A/B inputs, C/D outputs), supply current at 25 Mbps (15 mA input / 12 mA output, 3.3 V side), propagation delay skew (<10 ns, C grade), and QSOP-16 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ADUM7442CRQZ implements four independent unidirectional channels with fixed directionality: Pins 3–4 (VIA, VIB) and 11–12 (VOC, VOD) are inputs; Pins 5–6 (VOC, VOD) and 11–12 (VID, VIC) are outputs - specifically configured as two input channels on Side 1 and two output channels on Side 2. Its monolithic air-core transformer isolation architecture eliminates LED aging and timing drift inherent in optocouplers.
It operates across dual independent supplies (VDD1 and VDD2), each ranging 3.0–5.5 V, enabling true level-shifting across the barrier. The device includes an input glitch filter and default-high output state during input-side power loss, supporting fail-safe behavior in industrial control systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 25 Mbps NRZ - supports high-speed SPI clock and data lines without oversampling or encoding. |
| Isolation Rating | 1000 VRMS - certified to UL 1577, enabling use in functional isolation applications requiring reinforced insulation per IEC 61000-4-5. |
| Pulse Width Distortion | <5 ns (C grade) - ensures minimal duty-cycle error in PWM or clock forwarding applications. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | >15 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in noisy motor drive or power converter environments. |
| Supply Current @ 25 Mbps | 15 mA (VDD1, 3.3 V) / 12 mA (VDD2, 3.3 V) - enables low-power isolated communication in battery-backed or energy-sensitive nodes. |
| Propagation Delay Skew | <10 ns (C grade, codirectional) - guarantees tight timing alignment across multiple isolated data lanes (e.g., SPI MISO/MOSI). |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +105°C - qualified for extended industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
ADUM7442CRQZ is housed in a 16-lead QSOP package (5.3 mm × 10.2 mm, 1.0 mm height), offering ~70% board area reduction versus standard wide SOIC-16 isolators while maintaining 3.55 mm creepage/clearance for 1 kVRMS safety compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7 | VDD1A / VDD1B | Input-side dual supply pins - externally shorted; require local 0.01–0.1 µF bypass to GND1 (Pins 2/8) for stable high-speed operation. |
| 2, 8 | GND1 | Input-side ground reference - internally connected; both must be tied to same low-impedance ground plane. |
| 3, 4 | VIA, VIB | Input channels A and B - accept CMOS logic levels referenced to VDD1; support 0–25 Mbps NRZ signals. |
| 5, 6 | VOC, VOD | Output channels C and D - drive CMOS loads on output side (VDD2/GND2); default high when VDD1 unpowered. |
| 9, 15 | GND2 | Output-side ground reference - internally connected; must be isolated from GND1 by ≥3.55 mm clearance. |
| 10, 16 | VDD2B / VDD2A | Output-side dual supply - externally shorted; bypassed to GND2 (Pins 9/15) for noise immunity. |
| 11, 12 | VID, VIC | Input channels D and C - referenced to VDD2; enable reverse-direction signaling (e.g., status feedback across barrier). |
| 13, 14 | VOB, VOA | Output channels B and A - deliver isolated logic outputs referenced to VDD2; match input timing within <10 ns skew. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| iCoupler® transformer isolation | Eliminates LED degradation and lifetime uncertainty of optocouplers; supports >50-year insulation lifetime per DIN VDE V 0884-17. |
| Configurable supply domains | VDD1 and VDD2 independently support 3.0–5.5 V - enables 3.3 V MCU to communicate with 5 V ADC or actuator driver without external level shifters. |
| Input glitch filter | Rejects sub-10 ns noise transients on VIA/VIB/VID/VIC - prevents false triggering in electrically noisy factory-floor environments. |
| Fail-safe output default | All outputs go high-impedance if VDD2 is lost, or default high if VDD1 is lost - ensures predictable state during partial power failure. |
| Low dynamic power | 0.17–0.26 mA/Mbps (input), 0.02–0.03 mA/Mbps (output) - reduces thermal load in dense multi-isolator designs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8642ED-B-IS | Capacitive isolation; 2.5 kVRMS rating; higher supply current (20 mA @ 25 Mbps, 3.3 V) | Preferred where higher isolation voltage or AEC-Q100 qualification is required | Choose SI8642ED-B-IS only if 2.5 kVRMS certification or automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) is mandatory. |
| ISO6742FDWR | Capacitive isolation; 5 kVRMS; integrated LDO (3.3 V out); no level translation capability | Suitable for single-supply isolated systems needing regulated output rail | Select ISO6742FDWR when board space allows larger SOIC-16 and a clean 3.3 V auxiliary rail is needed for downstream circuitry. |
Compared with SI8642ED-B-IS and ISO6742FDWR, ADUM7442CRQZ offers lower dynamic power consumption, native 3 V/5 V level translation without external components, and QSOP-16 footprint - making it optimal for cost- and space-sensitive industrial SPI isolation where 1 kVRMS meets safety requirements.

FAQ
What is the channel configuration of ADUM7442CRQZ?
ADUM7442CRQZ has two input channels (VIA, VIB) and two output channels (VOC, VOD) on Side 1, plus two additional input channels (VID, VIC) and two output channels (VOB, VOA) on Side 2 - totaling four unidirectional channels with fixed direction per pin as defined in Table 22 of the Rev. E datasheet. This differs from ADUM7440 (all inputs on Side 1, all outputs on Side 2) and ADUM7441 (mixed direction per side).
Does ADUM7442CRQZ support mixed-voltage operation?
Yes, ADUM7442CRQZ supports independent 3.0–5.5 V supplies on VDD1 and VDD2 sides, enabling true level translation - for example, 3.3 V logic on Side 1 can drive 5 V outputs on Side 2, or vice versa. Electrical characteristics for mixed 3.3 V/5 V and 5 V/3.3 V operation are fully specified in Tables 7–12 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum data rate supported by ADUM7442CRQZ?
ADUM7442CRQZ supports up to 25 Mbps NRZ data rate, verified across all operating conditions (−40°C to +105°C, 3.0–5.5 V supplies). At this rate, typical pulse width distortion remains below 5 ns (C grade), and propagation delay skew stays under 10 ns for codirectional channels - critical for high-speed SPI and digital encoder interfaces.
How does ADUM7442CRQZ behave during power loss on one side?
When VDD1 is lost, all outputs default to high logic state; when VDD2 is lost, all outputs enter high-impedance state. This behavior is documented in Table 19 (Truth Table) and ensures predictable system-level fail-safe operation - for instance, holding an isolated enable line active during input-side brownout in a motor control application using ADUM7442CRQZ.
Is ADUM7442CRQZ RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, ADUM7442CRQZ is RoHS compliant and halogen-free per Analog Devices' material declarations. The QSOP-16 package uses lead-free matte tin finish, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3 - requiring bake prior to reflow if exposed to ambient >30°C/60% RH for >168 hours.
