Product details
Overview
ISO7840DW from Texas Instruments is a reinforced quad-channel digital isolator with 8000VPK isolation voltage, 100Mbps signaling rate, ±100kV/μs CMTI, and dual 2.25V–5.5V supply domains (VCCI/VCCO). It provides forward-only signal transmission with enable-controlled high-impedance outputs and default-high output behavior on input-side power loss, used in motor control gate drivers and isolated power supply feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the ISO7840DW datasheet, ISO7840DW pinout, ISO7840DW application, or ISO7840DW equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-16 wide-body package mapping, functional pin roles, safety-certified insulation parameters, and real-world implementation context for industrial and medical isolation design.
Technical Context
The ISO7840DW implements four independent SiO2 capacitive isolation channels with separate input (VCCI/GNDI) and output (VCCO/GNDO) power domains, enabling level translation between 2.25V and 5.5V logic families. Each channel includes an input buffer, capacitive barrier, and output buffer with integrated enable control (EN2).
It features fail-safe default-high output behavior during VCCI loss, low propagation delay (11ns typical at 5V), and robust EMC performance validated by system-level ESD (±6kV HBM), EFT, and surge immunity. Its reinforced isolation meets DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) and UL 1577 standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Voltage | 8000VPK reinforced per VDE 0884-17 - enables safe operation in 1000VRMS mains-connected systems like solar inverters and EV chargers. |
| Signaling Rate | 100Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces including isolated SPI, RS-485 transceiver control, and PWM feedback in servo drives. |
| CMTI | ±100kV/μs minimum - prevents false triggering in noisy motor drive environments with fast-switching SiC/GaN FETs. |
| Propagation Delay | 11ns typical (5V supplies) - ensures tight timing alignment across isolated control and feedback paths in closed-loop power converters. |
| Supply Range | 2.25V to 5.5V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers and 5V analog front-ends without external level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and medical imaging equipment deployment. |
| Power Consumption | 1.7mA per channel at 1Mbps - reduces thermal load in densely packed isolated gate driver boards and multi-channel data acquisition modules. |
Pinout & Package
ISO7840DW uses a 16-pin wide-body SOIC (DW) package measuring 10.30mm × 10.30mm with 7.50mm body width and >8.15mm creepage/clearance. The isolation barrier separates pins 1–8 (input side) from pins 9–16 (output side).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC1 (Pin 1) | Input-side power supply | Supplies input buffers and logic; must be decoupled locally to maintain noise immunity and meet 2.25–5.5V operating range. |
| INA–IND (Pins 3–6) | Digital input channels A–D | CMOS/LVCMOS-compatible inputs accepting 0.3×VCCI to 0.7×VCCI thresholds; no external pull-ups required. |
| EN2 (Pin 10) | Output enable control | Drives all four output channels into high-impedance when low; open or high enables normal output operation. |
| OUTA–OUTD (Pins 11–14) | Digital output channels A–D | Push-pull CMOS outputs capable of ±4mA (5V), ±2mA (3.3V), or ±1mA (2.5V); default-high on VCC1 loss. |
| VCC2 (Pin 16) | Output-side power supply | Independent supply for output buffers; enables galvanic separation and level translation between input/output logic domains. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced Isolation Certification | 8000VPK per VDE 0884-17 and 5.7kVRMS per UL 1577 - eliminates need for external isolation barriers in IEC 61010-1 and IEC 62368-1 certified equipment. |
| High CMTI Performance | ±100kV/μs minimum - maintains signal integrity in high-di/dt environments such as SiC-based motor inverters and DC-DC converters. |
| Low-Power Operation | 1.7mA/channel at 1Mbps - extends battery life in portable medical devices and reduces heat generation in fanless industrial controllers. |
| Fail-Safe Output Default | Outputs go high upon VCC1 loss - ensures safe shutdown of downstream power stages in isolated gate driver applications. |
| Enable-Controlled Tri-State | Single EN2 pin disables all four outputs simultaneously - simplifies bus arbitration in multi-controller systems without additional logic. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2400ARWZ | 5000VRMS reinforced isolation (UL 1577), 25Mbps max rate, 16-pin SOIC-W, no enable pin, default-output not specified | Limited to lower-voltage industrial systems; insufficient for 1000VRMS solar or EV applications requiring 8000VPK | Select ISO7840DW where higher isolation voltage, speed, or enable functionality is required. |
| SI8640BB-B-IS | 5000VRMS reinforced (UL 1577), 150Mbps, 16-pin SOIC-W, no enable pin, default-low output on power loss | Higher speed but lacks fail-safe default-high behavior critical for gate driver safety shutdown sequences | Choose ISO7840DW when deterministic high-default behavior and VDE 0884-17 certification are mandatory. |

FAQ
What is the maximum signaling rate supported by ISO7840DW?
The ISO7840DW supports a maximum signaling rate of 100Mbps across all four channels under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 5V, TA = 25°C, CL = 15pF). This is confirmed in Section 5.15 of the datasheet and enables use in high-speed isolated SPI, UART, and PWM applications without timing degradation.
Does ISO7840DW provide reinforced isolation, and what certifications does it hold?
Yes, ISO7840DW provides 8000VPK reinforced isolation certified to DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), UL 1577 (5.7kVRMS for 1 minute), IEC 61010-1, IEC 62368-1, IEC 60601-1, and GB 4943.1 - making it suitable for safety-critical medical and industrial equipment.
What is the default output state of ISO7840DW when input power is lost?
When VCC1 (input-side supply) drops below 1.7V, the ISO7840DW outputs transition to a high state after a delay of 0.2–9μs (tfs). This fail-safe default-high behavior is explicitly defined in the device description and ensures safe shutdown of downstream power stages in gate driver applications.
How does the EN2 pin function on ISO7840DW?
The EN2 pin (Pin 10) controls the output enable state of all four channels: when EN2 is high or floating, outputs operate normally; when EN2 is pulled low, all outputs enter high-impedance mode. This feature simplifies bus sharing in multi-controller systems and reduces quiescent current during idle periods.
What package type is used for ISO7840DW, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
ISO7840DW uses a 16-pin wide-body SOIC (DW) package with nominal dimensions of 10.30mm × 10.30mm (including leads) and a body width of 7.50mm. It provides >8.15mm creepage and clearance, meeting reinforced insulation requirements for high-voltage PCB layouts.
