Product details
Overview
ISO6742FQDWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive quad-channel digital isolator with reinforced isolation, two forward/two reverse channel directionality, and default-low output logic. It delivers 50 Mbps data rate, ±150 kV/μs CMTI, 5000 VRMS isolation rating, and operates across 1.71–5.5 V dual supplies. It is used in EV inverter gate drive signal conditioning where bidirectional control and high-noise immunity are required.
For engineers reviewing the ISO6742FQDWRQ1 datasheet, ISO6742FQDWRQ1 pinout, ISO6742FQDWRQ1 application, or ISO6742FQDWRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include channel direction configuration (2F/2R), F-suffix default-low behavior, DWW package creepage (>14.5 mm), VDE/UL/IEC safety certifications, and robust EMC performance including ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge across the barrier.
Technical Context
The ISO6742FQDWRQ1 implements TI's double capacitive SiO₂ insulation barrier to achieve reinforced isolation up to 5000 VRMS. Its two forward/two reverse channel topology enables bidirectional communication between controller and power stage without external logic inversion.
It integrates independent enable pins (EN1, EN2) per side for high-impedance output control in multi-controller systems, and supports wide supply ranges (1.71–1.89 V and 2.25–5.5 V) with level translation across sides - enabling interoperability between 1.8 V microcontrollers and 5 V gate drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 50 Mbps - supports high-speed CAN FD, SPI, or PWM feedback loops in motor control. |
| Isolation Rating | 5000 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements for EV traction inverters per VDE 0884-17 and UL 1577. |
| CMTI | ±150 kV/μs typical - rejects fast transients from IGBT/SiC switching noise in high-dV/dt environments. |
| Supply Range | 1.71–1.89 V and 2.25–5.5 V - allows direct interface with low-voltage MCUs and legacy 3.3/5 V peripherals. |
| Propagation Delay | 11 ns typical - enables precise timing-critical gate drive synchronization in real-time control loops. |
| Default Output State | Low (F-suffix) - ensures safe deactivation of power stages during MCU boot or fault conditions. |
| Surge Capability | 10 kV peak - withstands system-level surge events per IEC 62368-1 in on-board chargers and DC/DC converters. |
Pinout & Package
ISO6742FQDWRQ1 uses the DWW (Extra Wide SOIC-16) package with 10.30 mm × 17.25 mm footprint and >14.5 mm creepage/clearance - optimized for reinforced isolation in high-voltage automotive subsystems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC1, VCC2 | Independent input/output supply rails | Enable level-shifting between 1.8 V MCU and 5 V gate driver; UVLO thresholds ensure clean startup. |
| GND1, GND2 | Isolated input/output ground references | Prevent ground-loop currents in high-noise power domains; require separate PCB planes. |
| INA, INB, INC, IND | Input terminals for four isolated channels | Accept CMOS/LVCMOS signals; support 0.3×VCCI to 0.7×VCCI hysteresis for noise margin. |
| OUTA, OUTB, OUTC, OUTD | Output terminals with F-suffix default-low behavior | Drive downstream logic or gate drivers; outputs enter high-Z when respective ENx = low. |
| EN1, EN2 | Side-1 and side-2 output enable controls | Allow dynamic tri-state control of all outputs on each side - essential for bus arbitration in multi-controller BMS architectures. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced Isolation Barrier | Double capacitive SiO₂ dielectric provides 5000 VRMS working voltage and 10 kV surge immunity - certified to VDE 0884-17, UL 1577, and IEC 62368-1. |
| Automotive Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient) and VDA320 compliance - qualified for under-hood deployment in EV powertrain systems. |
| Robust EMC Performance | ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD across barrier, system-level EFT/surge immunity, and low emissions - reduces need for external filtering in compact inverters. |
| Configurable Channel Direction | Two forward + two reverse channels (ISO6742) - eliminates external inverters in bidirectional current sensing or dual-MCU coordination paths. |
| Low-Power Operation | 1.6 mA/channel typical at 1 Mbps - enables energy-efficient isolation in always-on battery monitoring circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-channel reinforced digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8642ED-B-IS | 4-channel, 2F/2R, 5000 VRMS, 150 Mbps, SOIC-16 (DW), default-high output | Higher speed but lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification and VDA320 certification | Select when higher bandwidth is needed and automotive qualification is not required. |
| ADUM2402BRWZ-RL | 4-channel, 2F/2R, 5000 VRMS, 25 Mbps, SOIC-16 (DW), default-high output, no AEC-Q100 | Lower data rate, no automotive qualification, lower CMTI (75 kV/μs) | Select for cost-sensitive industrial applications where 25 Mbps suffices and automotive compliance is unnecessary. |
Compared with SI8642ED-B-IS and ADUM2402BRWZ-RL, ISO6742FQDWRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1, VDA320, and VDE/UL/IEC safety certifications with 2F/2R channel direction and F-suffix default-low behavior - making it the only qualified option for ASIL-B/C inverter control and BMS signal isolation in production EV platforms.

FAQ
What does the 'F' suffix in ISO6742FQDWRQ1 indicate?
The 'F' suffix in ISO6742FQDWRQ1 specifies default-low output behavior: when input power or signal is lost, all four output channels (OUTA–OUTD) drive low. This fail-safe state ensures gate drivers remain disabled and contactors stay open during MCU reset or brownout - a critical requirement for ASIL-B/C functional safety in EV powertrain systems. The non-F variant ISO6742QDWRQ1 defaults high.
How does ISO6742FQDWRQ1 differ from ISO6740FQDWRQ1 and ISO6741FQDWRQ1?
ISO6742FQDWRQ1 has two forward and two reverse-direction channels (2F/2R), whereas ISO6740FQDWRQ1 has four forward-only channels and ISO6741FQDWRQ1 has three forward and one reverse channel. All three share identical DWW package, 5000 VRMS isolation, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating, and F-suffix default-low behavior - but channel directionality determines suitability for bidirectional communication paths like current-sense feedback or dual-MCU coordination in ISO6742FQDWRQ1.
What safety certifications apply to ISO6742FQDWRQ1?
ISO6742FQDWRQ1 holds DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), UL 1577, IEC 62368-1, IEC 61010-1, IEC 60601-1, and GB 4943.1 certifications. It achieves 5000 VRMS reinforced insulation with 1500 VRMS working voltage, 7071 VPK transient voltage, and 10 kV surge rating - fully compliant with VDA320 and AEC-Q100 for automotive powertrain deployment.
Can ISO6742FQDWRQ1 operate with mismatched supply voltages on VCC1 and VCC2?
Yes, ISO6742FQDWRQ1 supports independent supply rails: VCC1 (input side) and VCC2 (output side) may be set to different voltages within their respective ranges (1.71–1.89 V or 2.25–5.5 V). This enables true level translation - for example, interfacing a 1.8 V automotive MCU to a 5 V gate driver IC - without external level shifters, preserving signal integrity and reducing BOM count.
What is the purpose of EN1 and EN2 pins on ISO6742FQDWRQ1?
EN1 and EN2 are independent output-enable controls for side-1 (inputs INA–IND) and side-2 (outputs OUTA–OUTD). When pulled low, they place all outputs on that side into high-impedance state - enabling bus sharing in multi-controller architectures (e.g., redundant BMS controllers) and safe power sequencing during system startup or fault recovery. Both pins default to enabled when left open or tied high.
