Product details
Overview
ISO7420MDR from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel digital isolator with galvanic isolation up to 2500 VRMS for 1 minute, TTL-compatible input thresholds, and independent 3.3-V or 5-V supplies on input (VCCI/GNDI) and output (VCCO/GNDO) sides. It delivers 1 Mbps signaling rate, 9 ns typical propagation delay, and operates across –40°C to 125°C for industrial motor control and isolated power supply interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ISO7420MDR datasheet, ISO7420MDR pinout, ISO7420MDR application, or ISO7420MDR equivalent, key selection criteria include channel independence, 50-kV/μs CMTI, SOIC-8 narrow-body package compatibility, and level translation between 3.3-V and 5-V domains in servo drive feedback loops and fieldbus nodes.
Technical Context
The ISO7420MDR implements two unidirectional isolation channels separated by a silicon dioxide (SiO₂) barrier, each with dedicated logic buffers and independent supply domains. It supports bidirectional level translation via separate VCCI/VCCO rails and tolerates 5-V inputs when powered from 3.3 V on the input side.
No internal refresh circuitry or data encoding is used; signal integrity relies on high CMTI (50 kV/μs typical), low skew (300 ps typical), and guaranteed pulse width distortion <1 ns over temperature, enabling reliable timing in real-time control systems without external filtering for pulses ≥1 μs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 2500 VRMS for 1 min per UL 1577; enables safety-critical separation in industrial equipment |
| Signaling Rate | 1 Mbps maximum; supports Modbus RTU and DeviceNet™ data rates without oversampling |
| Propagation Delay | 9 ns typical; ensures sub-10-ns timing alignment between isolated control and feedback paths |
| CMTI | 50 kV/μs typical; rejects fast transients in motor drive gate driver noise environments |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCCI and VCCO independently support 3.15–3.45 V or 4.75–5.25 V; allows mixed-voltage system interfacing |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C (M-grade); qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |
| Input Threshold | TTL-compatible (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V); interoperable with legacy microcontrollers and FPGAs |
Pinout & Package
Narrow-body SOIC-8 package (4.90 mm × 3.91 mm), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, with creepage/clearance meeting DIN V VDE V 0884-10 and IEC 61010-1 standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCI | Input-side power supply | Provides 3.3-V or 5-V bias for INx inputs and input buffer; decoupling required near pin |
| GNDI | Input-side ground reference | Return path for VCCI; must be isolated from GNDO to maintain galvanic barrier integrity |
| INA | Channel A input | TTL-level digital signal entry point; 5-V tolerant when VCCI = 3.3 V |
| INB | Channel B input | Independent second input; no internal cross-talk with INA due to SiO₂ barrier |
| VCCO | Output-side power supply | Bias for OUTx drivers; enables level-shifted output at 3.3 V or 5 V regardless of VCCI |
| GNDO | Output-side ground reference | Return for VCCO; forms isolated domain with VCCO, electrically separated from GNDI |
| OUTA | Channel A output | Isolated replica of INA; drives 15-pF load at 1 Mbps with 9 ns delay |
| OUTB | Channel B output | Isolated replica of INB; matched propagation delay to OUTA ensures <300 ps inter-channel skew |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual unidirectional channels | Two independent SiO₂-isolated signal paths enable simultaneous control and status feedback without shared timing constraints |
| 3.3-V/5-V level translation | Allows direct interface between 3.3-V MCU GPIO and 5-V PLC I/O modules without external level shifters |
| Low power consumption | 1.1 mA typical ICC per channel at 3.3 V enables thermal-limited designs in dense PCB layouts |
| High transient immunity | 50 kV/μs CMTI prevents false triggering during IGBT switching events in motor inverters |
| Wide temperature operation | –40°C to 125°C M-grade qualification supports deployment in engine control units and solar inverters |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM1200ARZ | 100 Mbps max rate; 35 ns propagation delay; 2.5 kV RMS isolation; uses iCoupler® magnetic coupling | Higher speed but lower isolation rating; suited for non-safety-critical data links rather than industrial safety barriers | Select when bandwidth >1 Mbps is required and UL 2500 VRMS is not mandated |
| SI8620ED-IS | 150 Mbps max rate; 13 ns propagation delay; 5 kV RMS isolation; capacitive coupling; 2.5–5.5 V supply range | Wider supply range and higher CMTI (75 kV/μs); lacks M-grade temp rating (only –40°C to 105°C) | Select for high-noise environments needing >50 kV/μs immunity where extended temperature is not required |
Compared with ADUM1200ARZ and SI8620ED-IS, the ISO7420MDR offers the highest certified isolation voltage (2500 VRMS) and M-grade temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), making it uniquely suitable for safety-critical industrial motor drives where regulatory compliance and thermal robustness are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum signaling rate supported by the ISO7420MDR?
The ISO7420MDR supports a maximum signaling rate of 1 Mbps as specified in the official Texas Instruments datasheet SLLS984I. This rate is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range of –40°C to 125°C and applies to both isolation channels independently. Pulse widths shorter than 1 μs may require external filtering to suppress spurious signals, per design note in Section 1 of the datasheet.
Does the ISO7420MDR support level translation between 3.3-V and 5-V logic domains?
Yes, the ISO7420MDR supports bidirectional level translation: its inputs are 5-V tolerant when VCCI = 3.3 V, and outputs can be driven at either 3.3 V or 5 V depending on VCCO. This allows direct interfacing between 3.3-V microcontrollers and 5-V industrial I/O peripherals without external level-shifting components, as confirmed in the Features and Description sections of the ISO7420MDR datasheet.
What isolation certifications does the ISO7420MDR hold?
The ISO7420MDR is certified to 2500 VRMS isolation for 1 minute per UL 1577, 4242 VPK per DIN V VDE V 0884-10, and meets CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5A, IEC 60950-1, and IEC 61010-1 standards. These certifications are explicitly listed in the Features section of the ISO7420MDR datasheet and apply to the SOIC-8 package variant.
What is the propagation delay and channel-to-channel skew of the ISO7420MDR?
The ISO7420MDR has a typical propagation delay of 9 ns and typical channel-to-channel skew of 300 ps, both measured under standard conditions (VCC = 3.3 V or 5 V, TA = 25°C). These values are specified in the Features table and validated across temperature in the Switching Characteristics section of the ISO7420MDR datasheet.
Can the ISO7420MDR operate with different supply voltages on input and output sides?
Yes, the ISO7420MDR supports independent supply configurations: VCCI and VCCO may each be set to 3.3 V or 5 V, including mixed combinations (e.g., VCCI = 3.3 V, VCCO = 5 V). This capability is documented in the Features list and Electrical Characteristics tables (Sections 6.5–6.7) of the ISO7420MDR datasheet, enabling flexible system-level voltage domain partitioning.
