Product details
Overview
ISO808AQTR from STMicroelectronics is a galvanically isolated octal high-side power solid-state relay with SPI interface, designed for driving inductive loads in industrial control systems. It features 8 independent high-side outputs, 0.125 Ω typical RDS(on) per channel, VCC operating range of 9.2–36 V, and integrated per-channel over-temperature protection with thermal independence. Used in PLC I/O modules for solenoid and valve actuation.
For engineers reviewing the ISO808AQTR datasheet, ISO808AQTR pinout, ISO808AQTR application, or ISO808AQTR equivalent, this device supports daisy-chained SPI configuration, provides open-drain FAULT/PGOOD diagnostics, delivers fast demagnetization (VDEMAG = VCC − 54 V), and meets IEC 61000-4-2/4/5/8 and UL1577 safety standards - critical for robust industrial field I/O design.
Technical Context
The ISO808AQTR integrates two galvanically isolated voltage domains: VCC/GNDCC (process stage, up to 36 V) and VDD/GNDDD (logic stage, 2.75–5.5 V), communicating via ST's proprietary isolation protocol. Each of its eight high-side channels includes independent junction over-temperature shutdown (TJSD = 150–200 °C) and case over-temperature protection (TCSD = 125–135 °C).
It implements an 8-bit SPI interface (up to 20 MHz) with daisy-chain capability, where SDI carries output status commands and SDO returns fault status (all-0 = no fault, all-1 = at least one fault). The watchdog timeout (tWD = 272–400 μs) ensures safe output disable upon logic-stage failure, while OUT_EN enables hardware-level global output disable with 150 ns pulse width requirement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 9.2 V to 36 V - supports standard 24 V industrial supply with ±10% tolerance and brown-out immunity. |
| RDS(on) (Typ) | 0.125 Ω @ 25 °C - enables <0.3 W conduction loss per channel at 0.5 A, reducing thermal stress in dense I/O modules. |
| IOUT Limit | 0.7 A min (ISO808AQ) - hard current limiting protects against short-circuit faults without external fusing. |
| VDEMAG | VCC − 54 V (typ) - accelerates energy dissipation during inductive turn-off, suppressing voltage spikes >1 kV in relay/solenoid drivers. |
| Isolation Rating | 1500 VPEAK (IEC 60747-17) - certified reinforced insulation barrier enabling safe separation between MCU and 24 V field side. |
| CM Transient Immunity | ±25 V/ns - maintains reliable operation in electrically noisy PLC cabinets with fast-switching motor drives nearby. |
| SPI Speed | 20 MHz max - allows full 8-bit output update in ≤400 ns, supporting real-time deterministic I/O scanning. |
Pinout & Package
ISO808AQTR is packaged in TFQFPN32 (5 mm × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), with exposed thermal pad connected internally to GNDCC. Pin 19 (TAB/GNDCC) must be soldered to a dedicated ground plane for thermal and functional integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1–OUT8 | High-side power output | Eight independent 0.7 A-rated NMOS outputs referenced to GNDCC; each drives one side of load (other side grounded). |
| VCC | Process stage supply | Positive supply for power stage (9.2–36 V); internal clamp at 47–57 V prevents overvoltage damage. |
| GNDCC | Process stage ground | Power ground return; connects to exposed thermal tab - must be low-impedance PCB copper pour. |
| VDD | Logic stage supply | 3.3 V or 5 V digital supply; UVLO thresholds (2.45–2.75 V) prevent erratic SPI behavior during rail droop. |
| GNDDD | Logic stage ground | Digital ground reference; galvanically isolated from GNDCC - no shared ground connection allowed. |
| SS, CLK, SDI, SDO | SPI interface | Standard 4-wire SPI (CPOL=0, CPHA=0); SDO tri-states when SS high, enabling daisy chaining. |
| OUT_EN | Global output enable | Active-low hardware reset: forces all outputs OFF and clears internal register; requires ≥150 ns pulse width. |
| FAULT / PGOOD | Open-drain diagnostics | Active-low fault indicators: FAULT signals OVT/OVC/internal comms error; PGOOD asserts if VCC < 14.5 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Galvanic isolation | Reinforced insulation barrier (1500 VPEAK) separating logic and process domains per IEC 60747-17. |
| Per-channel thermal protection | Independent junction shutdown (TJSD = 150–200 °C) and restart (TJR = 160 °C) - non-latching, preserves system uptime. |
| Fast inductive demagnetization | VDEMAG = VCC − 54 V typ - suppresses flyback voltage spikes during turn-off of 100+ mH solenoids. |
| Integrated watchdog & refresh | tWD = 272–400 μs timeout + periodic refresh - ensures fail-safe output disable if MCU freezes or SPI stalls. |
| Loss-of-ground detection | Monitors GNDCC disconnection; limits output current to 500 μA if ground opens - prevents uncontrolled load energization. |
Applications
| PLC Digital Output Module | Industrial PC Peripheral I/O |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar galvanically isolated high-side driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO808A-1TR | Same functionality but in PowerSO-36 package; higher Rth(j-case) (0.8 °C/W vs. 1.0 °C/W) and 1 A current limit (vs. 0.7 A). | Better thermal performance in high-power-density designs; suited for continuous 0.8 A loads where ISO808AQTR's 0.7 A limit may trigger OVL. | Select ISO808A-1TR when board space allows larger package and higher sustained current is required. |
| TPL7407LPWR | Non-isolated 7-channel NPN sink driver; no galvanic barrier, no SPI, no thermal shutdown per channel. | Limited to low-voltage logic-level loads; requires external isolation and protection for industrial 24 V field use. | Only viable for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical 5 V embedded applications - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with ISO808AQTR, ISO808A-1TR offers higher current capability and better thermal dissipation in a larger package, while TPL7407LPWR lacks isolation, diagnostics, and protection - making it unsuitable for industrial field I/O where safety and reliability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current per channel for ISO808AQTR?
The ISO808AQTR specifies a minimum short-circuit current limit (ILIM(MIN)) of 0.7 A per channel under all conditions. Its typical RDS(on) of 0.125 Ω yields ~44 mW conduction loss at 0.6 A, enabling continuous operation up to 0.7 A with proper PCB thermal design. Exceeding this triggers per-channel over-current protection.
Does ISO808AQTR require external flyback diodes for inductive loads?
No. The ISO808AQTR integrates active demagnetization that pulls the output voltage to VDEMAG = VCC − 54 V (typical) during turn-off, effectively clamping flyback energy without external diodes. This feature is validated for inductive loads ≥1 mH and eliminates PCB space and BOM cost associated with discrete snubbers.
How does the FAULT pin behave during SPI communication errors?
The FAULT pin asserts low on three confirmed conditions: (1) any channel junction temperature exceeds TJSD (150–200 °C), (2) case temperature exceeds TCSD (125–135 °C), or (3) internal isolation communication error - including non-multiple-of-8 bit transfers on SDI. The pin remains latched low until the fault clears and SS is cycled.
Can ISO808AQTR operate with a 3.3 V logic supply and 24 V process supply simultaneously?
Yes. ISO808AQTR is explicitly rated for VDD = 2.75–5.5 V (including 3.3 V TTL/CMOS) and VCC = 9.2–36 V (including 24 V). Its input thresholds (VIL = 0.3×VDD, VIH = 0.7×VDD) and isolation barrier ensure robust interoperability between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 24 V field-side loads.
