Overview
ISO1044BDR from Texas Instruments is a galvanically isolated CAN FD transceiver meeting ISO 11898-2:2016, supporting up to 5 Mbps data rate, ±58-V DC bus fault protection, and 85 kV/µs CMTI. It features dual-supply operation (VCC1: 1.71–5.5 V; VCC2: 4.5–5.5 V), operates from –40°C to +125°C, and is used in industrial PLCs, solar inverters, and AC drives requiring robust noise immunity and reinforced insulation.
For engineers reviewing the ISO1044BDR datasheet, ISO1044BDR pinout, ISO1044BDR application, or ISO1044BDR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application mappings, safety-certified isolation specs, and validated alternative transceivers - all grounded in TI's production-grade SLLSFB0A datasheet and official package documentation.
Technical Context
The ISO1044BDR integrates a silicon dioxide (SiO₂) isolation barrier rated for 3000 VRMS withstand and 450 VRMS working voltage, enabling reinforced insulation per DIN VDE V 0884-11:2017-01 and UL 1577. Its dual-side architecture separates digital logic (Side 1) and bus transceiver (Side 2), with independent undervoltage lockout on both VCC1 and VCC2.
It implements driver dominant time-out (1.2–3.8 ms), thermal shutdown at 190°C, and supports classic CAN (≤1 Mbps) and CAN FD (≤5 Mbps) with bit timing symmetry <±65 ns. Common-mode range is ±12 V, and passive high-impedance bus terminals prevent loading when unpowered.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ISO1044BDR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, optimized for space-constrained industrial PCBs and offering creepage/clearance >4 mm between isolation sides.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC1 | Digital-side supply | Provides power to logic interface (TXD/RXD); supports 1.71–5.5 V for direct connection to 1.8-V or 5-V MCUs without level shifters. |
| 2 - TXD | Transmit data input | CMOS-compatible input (VIH = 0.7×VCC1); asserts dominant state (LOW) to drive CAN bus - enables direct MCU GPIO connection. |
| 3 - RXD | Receive data output | CMOS output (VOH/VOL specified per VCC1); provides isolated CAN bus status to MCU - eliminates ground-loop noise coupling into controller side. |
| 4 - GND1 | Digital-side ground | Reference for VCC1 and TXD/RXD signals; must be separated from bus-side ground (GND2) to maintain galvanic isolation integrity. |
| 5 - CANL | Low-side bus terminal | Isolated differential bus line; paired with CANH to form ±12 V common-mode tolerant interface - connects directly to standard CAN bus wiring. |
| 6 - CANH | High-side bus terminal | Isolated differential bus line; forms 1.5–3.3 V dominant differential swing with CANL - compliant with ISO 11898-2 physical layer requirements. |
| 7 - GND2 | Bus-side ground | Reference for VCC2 and CANH/CANL; electrically isolated from GND1 - prevents noise currents from motor drives or inverters entering the controller domain. |
| 8 - VCC2 | Bus-side supply | Supplies transceiver core (4.5–5.5 V); powers driver/receiver circuitry independently - ensures stable bus signaling even if digital side experiences brownout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated CAN transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM3053BRWZ | Integrated isolated DC-DC converter (5 V out); 1 Mbps max data rate; 2500 VRMS isolation; SOIC-20 package | Preferred where board space permits larger footprint and self-powered isolation is needed - e.g., legacy industrial sensors without auxiliary bus-side supply | Select ADM3053BRWZ only if isolated power generation is required; ISO1044BDR requires external isolated supply but offers 5 Mbps FD and smaller SOIC-8 footprint. |
| SI82520AD-IS | Capacitive isolation; 1 Mbps CAN; no integrated CAN PHY - requires external CAN driver (e.g., TJA1042); 5000 VRMS isolation; SOIC-8 | Suitable for custom PHY tuning or mixed-protocol designs (e.g., CAN + LIN on same isolator); lacks built-in DTO and bus fault protection | Choose SI82520AD-IS only when designing non-standard CAN variants or needing ultra-high isolation voltage; ISO1044BDR delivers full CAN FD compliance out-of-box. |
Compared with ADM3053BRWZ and SI82520AD-IS, ISO1044BDR uniquely combines 5 Mbps CAN FD support, ±58-V bus fault protection, and SOIC-8 packaging - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed industrial nodes where external isolated power is already available.

FAQ
What is the maximum CAN FD data rate supported by the ISO1044BDR?
The ISO1044BDR supports up to 5 Mbps in CAN FD mode, as confirmed in TI's SLLSFB0A datasheet Section 1 (Features) and Section 6.10 (Switching Characteristics). This enables significantly faster payload transfer than classic CAN (1 Mbps), with measured bit timing symmetry of ≤±65 ns at 5 Mbps - essential for high-throughput control in servo drives and energy storage systems using ISO1044BDR.
Does the ISO1044BDR include integrated isolated power?
No, the ISO1044BDR does not integrate an isolated DC-DC converter. It requires two separate supplies: VCC1 (1.71–5.5 V) for the digital side and VCC2 (4.5–5.5 V) for the bus side. External isolated power - such as a transformer-based module or capacitive isolator with LDO - must be provided. This architecture allows design flexibility and avoids efficiency trade-offs inherent in integrated solutions, as documented in the ISO1044BDR functional block diagram and power recommendations section.
What safety certifications apply to the ISO1044BDR?
The ISO1044BDR is certified to DIN VDE V 0884-11:2017-01 (reinforced insulation), UL 1577 (3000 VRMS), and planned certifications for IEC 62368-1, IEC 60950-1, and GB 4943.1-2011. These are explicitly listed in Sections 1, 6.6, and 6.7 of the TI datasheet. The device achieves 450 VRMS working voltage and 5000 VPK surge isolation - making ISO1044BDR suitable for safety-rated subsystems in elevators, battery chargers, and industrial power supplies.
How does the ISO1044BDR handle undervoltage conditions?
The ISO1044BDR implements independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both VCC1 and VCC2. VCC1 UVLO triggers at 1.0 V (falling) / 1.7 V (rising) with 80–125 mV hysteresis; VCC2 UVLO activates at 3.8–4.25 V (falling) / 4.2–4.45 V (rising) with 200 mV hysteresis. Per Section 6.9 of the datasheet, this prevents erroneous bus states during power ramp-up or brownout - ensuring ISO1044BDR remains inactive until both sides are stably powered, critical for fail-safe operation in PLC backplanes.
What is the purpose of the dominant time-out (DTO) feature in the ISO1044BDR?
ISO1044BDR's dominant time-out (DTO) limits bus dominant state duration to 1.2–3.8 ms, preventing indefinite bus lock-up if the TXD input is held LOW due to MCU failure or software crash. As defined in Section 1 (Features) and Section 6.10, DTO automatically forces the bus recessive after timeout - eliminating need for external watchdog circuitry. This enhances reliability in ISO1044BDR-based systems like AC drives and battery management units where communication integrity is safety-critical.
