Product details
Overview
ISO7321FCD from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel digital isolator with opposite-direction channel configuration (IN→OUT on one side, OUT→IN on the other), 3000 VRMS galvanic isolation, 25 Mbps signaling rate, and fail-safe low-default output behavior. It enables robust signal transmission across isolated domains in industrial motor drives and servo control interfaces where input-side power loss must not cause undefined output states.
For engineers reviewing the ISO7321FCD datasheet, ISO7321FCD pinout, ISO7321FCD application, or ISO7321FCD equivalent, key selection criteria include its 33 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V, integrated noise filtering for harsh EMI environments, 65 kV/μs CMTI, and dual-supply operation supporting 3.3 V/5 V level translation between isolated domains.
Technical Context
The ISO7321FCD implements capacitive isolation using silicon dioxide (SiO₂) barriers, with separate VCCI/GNDI and VCCO/GNDO supplies enabling independent input/output domain biasing. Its architecture combines high-frequency (100 kbps–25 Mbps) and low-frequency (DC–100 kbps) data paths via PWM modulation and LPF reconstruction to maintain DC accuracy while achieving high-speed performance.
Fail-safe operation is hardware-defined: when VCCI drops below ~2.1 V, outputs default to low state-critical for safety-critical motor gate drivers and battery pack monitoring. Input hysteresis (460 mV typ.) and integrated noise filters suppress short-duration transients common in industrial fieldbus nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 3000 VRMS per UL 1577 (1 min); 4242 VPK per VDE 0884-10 - meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial safety standards. |
| Signaling Rate | 25 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and real-time encoder feedback links. |
| Propagation Delay | 33 ns typical at 5 V - enables tight timing budgets in closed-loop servo control and PWM gate driver synchronization. |
| CMTI | 65 kV/μs typical at 5 V - ensures reliable operation in noisy motor drive environments with fast-switching IGBTs. |
| Supply Range | 3 V to 5.5 V on both sides - allows interoperability between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog/power domains. |
| Default Output State | Low upon VCCI loss - prevents unintended activation of downstream power stages during brownout or supply fault conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive subsystems and industrial PLC backplanes. |
Pinout & Package
Narrow-body SOIC-8 package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm), surface-mount, creepage/clearance ≥4 mm, CTI ≥400 V.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCI | Input-side power supply | Bias voltage for INx inputs and internal logic; decoupling required near pin for EMC robustness. |
| GNDI | Input-side ground reference | Return path for VCCI; must be isolated from GNDO by PCB layout and system grounding scheme. |
| INA | Input A (channel 1) | TTL-compatible input driving isolated output OUTB; directionality defined by ISO7321 topology (input on side-1, output on side-2). |
| INB | Input B (channel 2) | TTL-compatible input driving isolated output OUTA; opposite-direction pairing enables bidirectional data flow across barrier. |
| VCCO | Output-side power supply | Bias voltage for OUTx outputs; enables level-shifting to match downstream 3.3 V or 5 V logic families. |
| GNDO | Output-side ground reference | Return path for VCCO; forms isolated domain with VCCO; no direct connection to GNDI permitted. |
| OUTA | Output A (channel 1) | CMOS output driven by INB; active-low fail-safe default ensures safe state during VCCI dropout. |
| OUTB | Output B (channel 2) | CMOS output driven by INA; complements OUTA to support full-duplex isolated communication links. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Opposite-direction dual channels | Enables true bidirectional isolation without external logic inversion-reduces component count in half-duplex UART or SPI isolator designs. |
| Integrated input noise filter | Rejects sub-40 ns pulses per tui specification-eliminates need for external RC filters in Modbus RTU or Profibus DP node interfaces. |
| Fail-safe low-default output | Guarantees OUTA/OUTB = low when VCCI ≤2.1 V-prevents false triggering of IGBT gate drivers during power sequencing faults. |
| Robust EMC performance | System-level ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and surge (IEC 61000-4-5) immunity-reduces need for external protection components. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO7321CD | Same package and pinout; default output is 'high' on VCCI loss instead of 'low'. | Suitable where fail-safe high state is required (e.g., enable signals for safety relays). | Select ISO7321CD only if system architecture requires active-high fail-safe behavior; otherwise ISO7321FCD is preferred for motor control. |
| ADUM1201BRZ | Lower CMTI (25 kV/μs), no integrated noise filter, 100 Mbps max rate, different pinout (SOIC-8 but channel assignment differs). | Used in lower-noise consumer-grade applications; lacks VDE/UL certifications for industrial safety-critical use. | Choose ADUM1201BRZ only for cost-sensitive non-safety applications; ISO7321FCD provides certified robustness for industrial deployment. |
Compared with ISO7321CD and ADUM1201BRZ, the ISO7321FCD delivers superior noise immunity, safety certification coverage, and deterministic fail-safe behavior-making it the optimal choice for industrial motion control and high-reliability battery systems where output state predictability under fault conditions is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe behavior of the ISO7321FCD when input power is lost?
The ISO7321FCD defaults its outputs to low state when VCCI drops below approximately 2.1 V. This behavior is hardwired and does not require external circuitry. For ISO7321FCD, this ensures that downstream power switches remain de-energized during brownout events, directly supporting functional safety requirements in motor drive applications. The ISO7321FCD maintains this behavior across its full –40°C to +125°C operating range.
Does the ISO7321FCD support level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains?
Yes, the ISO7321FCD supports independent 3.3 V or 5 V supplies on both input (VCCI) and output (VCCO) sides. It accepts TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥2 V, VIL ≤0.8 V) and delivers CMOS-compatible outputs (VOH ≥VCCO–0.5 V, VOL ≤0.4 V), enabling seamless bidirectional level shifting. This capability is fully characterized in both ISO7321FCD electrical specifications tables for 3.3 V and 5 V operation.
What safety certifications does the ISO7321FCD hold?
The ISO7321FCD is certified to UL 1577 (3000 VRMS, 1 minute), VDE 0884-10 (4242 VPK, reinforced insulation), CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5A, IEC 60950-1, IEC 61010-1, and CQC GB4943.1-2011. These approvals cover isolation barrier integrity, creepage/clearance compliance (≥4 mm), and system-level safety for industrial and medical auxiliary equipment applications.
How does the ISO7321FCD handle high-frequency noise on input pins?
The ISO7321FCD incorporates an integrated noise filter that rejects input pulses shorter than 40 ns (tui), as specified in its recommended operating conditions. This feature eliminates the need for external RC filters in environments with fast transients-such as those generated by IGBT switching in motor drives. The filter operates transparently and does not affect signal integrity for valid data pulses above the threshold.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the ISO7321FCD?
The ISO7321FCD supports a maximum signaling rate of 25 Mbps under recommended operating conditions (VCCI/VCCO = 3 V to 5.5 V, TA = –40°C to +125°C). This rate is guaranteed with 33 ns typical propagation delay at 5 V and pulse width distortion of ≤4 ns, making it suitable for high-speed SPI clock domains, encoder feedback, and real-time control loops.
