Product details
Overview
ISO7221BDR from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel digital isolator with opposite-direction channel orientation, 5 Mbps signaling rate, ≤3 ns channel-to-channel output skew, and 1 ns max pulse-width distortion. It provides 4000 VPK galvanic isolation per VDE 0884-17 and operates across –40°C to +125°C for industrial fieldbus interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the ISO7221BDR datasheet, ISO7221BDR pinout, ISO7221BDR application, or ISO7221BDR equivalent, this device delivers verified high CMTI (≥25 kV/μs), failsafe logic-high output on input power loss, and dual independent supply support (2.8V/3.3V/5V) for mixed-voltage system isolation.
Technical Context
The ISO7221BDR uses TI's silicon-dioxide (SiO₂) isolation barrier to separate input and output logic buffers, enabling galvanic isolation up to 4000 VPK. Its differential comparator-based architecture detects logic transitions across the barrier and drives flip-flop outputs with periodic DC-refresh pulses every 4 μs.
It implements TTL-compatible input thresholds with integrated noise filtering and supports asymmetric supply configurations (e.g., 5V input / 3.3V output). The failsafe circuit asserts logic high at the outputs if DC-refresh pulses are absent for >4 μs-indicating input-side power loss or undriven state.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Signaling Rate | 5 Mbps - supports Profibus and DeviceNet data rates without oversampling or external clock conditioning |
| Channel-to-Channel Output Skew | ≤3 ns max - ensures synchronized timing between isolated A/B channels in servo control feedback loops |
| Pulse-Width Distortion | ≤3 ns max - preserves duty cycle integrity for PWM signals in motor drive gate driver interfaces |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | ≥25 kV/μs - suppresses noise coupling in high-noise factory automation environments with variable-frequency drives |
| Isolation Voltage Rating | 4000 VPK per VDE 0884-17 - meets reinforced insulation requirements for IEC 61010-1 safety-critical measurement equipment |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive ECUs and industrial PLC backplanes without derating |
| Failsafe Output Behavior | Logic-high assertion within 3 μs of input power loss - prevents undefined states in safety-monitored control systems |
Pinout & Package
ISO7221BDR is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D package) with 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size and 4.9 mm × 6 mm overall footprint. The package supports surface-mount reflow and provides creepage/clearance ≥4 mm per IEC 60664-1.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM1201BRZ | 25 kV/μs CMTI, 100 Mbps max, 3.3V-only supply, no failsafe output | Lacks failsafe behavior and dual-supply flexibility-requires external pull-up and voltage translation for 5V systems | Prefer ISO7221BDR where input-side power loss detection or mixed-voltage operation is required |
| SI8621ED-B-IS | 50 kV/μs CMTI, 100 Mbps, 2.5–5.5V supply, failsafe configurable via pin | Higher CMTI but requires external configuration resistor for failsafe mode; different pinout and thermal profile | Choose ISO7221BDR for guaranteed built-in failsafe and proven SOIC-8 layout compatibility in legacy designs |
Compared with ADUM1201BRZ and SI8621ED-B-IS, ISO7221BDR uniquely combines fixed failsafe logic-high assertion, 5 Mbps precision timing (≤3 ns skew), and native 2.8V/3.3V/5V dual-supply support-making it optimal for safety-aware industrial fieldbus and servo interfaces where reliability and timing predictability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum signaling rate supported by ISO7221BDR?
The ISO7221BDR supports a maximum signaling rate of 5 Mbps. This is confirmed in the device's datasheet under Recommended Operating Conditions and Switching Characteristics sections for the 'B' option. At this rate, propagation delay remains ≤70 ns with pulse-width distortion ≤3 ns-making ISO7221BDR suitable for Profibus DP and DeviceNet applications without signal degradation.
Does ISO7221BDR include a failsafe output feature?
Yes, ISO7221BDR includes a built-in failsafe output feature. When input-side power (VCC1) is lost or the input is undriven, the device asserts a logic-high state on both outputs within 3 μs. This behavior is implemented via a 4 μs DC-refresh pulse mechanism and is documented in the Description and Switching Characteristics sections of the ISO7221BDR datasheet.
Can ISO7221BDR operate with different supply voltages on input and output sides?
Yes, ISO7221BDR supports independent input (VCC1) and output (VCC2) supplies ranging from 2.8V to 5V each. It is fully characterized for combinations including 5V/3.3V, 3.3V/5V, and 3.3V/3.3V. Input pins remain 5V-tolerant even when VCC1 = 2.8V or 3.3V-enabling direct interfacing with higher-voltage controllers without level shifters.
What safety certifications does ISO7221BDR hold?
ISO7221BDR is certified to DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), UL 1577, IEC 61010-1, and IEC 62368-1. These certifications validate its reinforced insulation barrier (4000 VPK), partial discharge performance (<5 pC), and suitability for safety-critical end equipment including industrial control panels and test instrumentation.
How does ISO7221BDR differ from ISO7220BDR in layout and function?
ISO7221BDR features opposite-direction channel orientation (INA→OUTA left-to-right, INB→OUTB right-to-left), whereas ISO7220BDR has same-direction orientation. This enables straight-through PCB routing for bidirectional buses. Both share identical electrical specs (5 Mbps, TTL inputs, failsafe), but ISO7221BDR's pinout reduces layer count and crosstalk in RS-485 or CAN physical layer isolation layouts.
