Product details
Overview
ISOW7742DFMR from Texas Instruments is a reinforced quad-channel digital isolator with integrated low-emission, low-noise DC-DC converter. It delivers 100 Mbps data rate, 5000 VRMS reinforced isolation, and up to 0.55-W isolated output power (5 V → 5 V @ 110 mA). The device operates across –40°C to +125°C and uses capacitive signal isolation plus on-chip transformer-based power isolation - enabling compact, emissions-compliant isolated interfaces in motor control and grid infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the ISOW7742DFMR datasheet, ISOW7742DFMR pinout, ISOW7742DFMR application, or ISOW7742DFMR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for space-constrained, high-EMC industrial designs requiring integrated isolated power and signal integrity.
Technical Context
The ISOW7742DFMR implements four independent digital isolation channels with configurable directionality: two forward (INA→OUTA, INB→OUTB) and two reverse (INC←OUTC, IND←OUTD), as confirmed by Figure 6-3 and pin mapping tables. Its integrated DC-DC converter operates at 25 MHz, delivering low-frequency switching noise and 24-mV peak-to-peak ripple under full load.
Isolation architecture combines double capacitive SiO₂ barriers for signal paths and thin-film polymer-insulated on-chip transformers for power transfer. Safety certification includes VDE-reinforced insulation per DIN VDE V 0884-11:2017-01, UL 1577 (5000 VRMS), and IEC 62368-1 - all validated for the ISOW7742 (not ISOW774xB) variant per Device Information table.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | 100 Mbps - supports high-speed UART, SPI, and RS-485 isolation without external clocking. |
| Isolation rating | 5000 VRMS reinforced - meets safety requirements for industrial mains-connected systems. |
| Integrated DC-DC output | 5 V @ 110 mA or 3.3 V @ 140 mA - eliminates need for external isolated DC/DC in compact PCB layouts. |
| CMTI | 100 kV/µs (typical) - ensures robust noise immunity against fast transients in motor drives and inverters. |
| Output ripple | 24 mV (pk-pk) at 110 mA - enables direct powering of sensitive analog front-ends or ADC references. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +125°C - supports deployment in under-hood automotive, solar inverters, and factory-floor controllers. |
| Emissions margin | >5 dB above CISPR 32 Class B on 2-layer board - reduces need for shielding or complex filtering. |
Pinout & Package
ISOW7742DFMR uses a 20-pin wide-body SOIC (DFM) package measuring 12.83 mm × 7.5 mm, with creepage/clearance >8 mm and reinforced insulation barrier.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INA, INB | Input channel A/B (forward) | Primary-side logic inputs driving OUTA/OUTB; compatible with 1.71–5.5-V VIO supply. |
| INC, IND | Input channel C/D (reverse) | Secondary-side logic inputs driving OUTC/OUTD; require VISOIN-supplied domain. |
| OUTA, OUTB | Output channel A/B (forward) | Isolated outputs referenced to VISOIN; drive loads up to ±4 mA at 5 V. |
| OUTC, OUTD | Output channel C/D (reverse) | Isolated outputs referenced to VIO; enable bidirectional communication across barrier. |
| VIO, GNDIO | Primary logic supply | 1.71–5.5-V domain powering input buffers and EN_IO1/EN_IO2 logic. |
| VDD, GND1 | DC-DC primary supply | 3–5.5-V input for integrated converter; GND1 must be shorted to GNDIO on PCB. |
| VISOIN, GND2 | Secondary logic supply | Isolated 3–6-V domain for output buffers; GND2 may be shorted to GISOIN or filtered via ferrite bead. |
| VISOOUT, VSEL | DC-DC secondary output | VSEL selects 5 V (shorted to VISOOUT) or 3.3 V (shorted to GND2); VISOOUT powers VISOIN domain. |
| EN/FLT | Power converter enable/fault | Configurable as active-high enable or open-drain fault alert (active-low) for system-level monitoring. |
| EN_IO1, EN_IO2 | Channel output enable | Independent tri-state control for side-1 and side-2 output drivers - supports dynamic power gating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-channel isolated power + signal applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6420ARWZ | 4 forward channels only; no reverse I/O; 500 mW output; 2.5 kV RMS isolation; no CISPR 32 Class B validation. | Limited to unidirectional protocols (e.g., SPI master-slave); requires external filtering for emissions compliance. | Select when bidirectional channel flexibility is unnecessary and lower isolation rating suffices. |
| SI88642ED-IS | 4 forward channels; 500 mW output; 5 kV RMS isolation; integrated LDO instead of DC-DC; higher output ripple (50 mV). | Suitable for low-noise analog domains where DC-DC switching noise must be avoided entirely. | Prefer when ultra-low ripple is prioritized over efficiency and output current capability. |
Compared with ADUM6420ARWZ and SI88642ED-IS, the ISOW7742DFMR uniquely combines bidirectional channel routing, 100 Mbps speed, CISPR 32 Class B margin, and 5000 VRMS reinforced certification - making it optimal for high-integrity industrial and medical systems requiring both signal and power integration.

FAQ
What is the channel configuration of ISOW7742DFMR?
The ISOW7742DFMR has two forward channels (INA→OUTA, INB→OUTB) and two reverse channels (INC←OUTC, IND←OUTD), as defined in Figure 6-3 and confirmed in the Pin Configuration table. This bidirectional arrangement supports protocols like UART and I²C without external direction-control logic, distinguishing it from unidirectional variants such as ISOW7740.
Does ISOW7742DFMR support 3.3-V logic on both sides?
Yes, ISOW7742DFMR supports independent 1.71–5.5-V VIO (primary side) and 3–6-V VISOIN (secondary side). When VSEL is tied to GND2, VISOOUT delivers 3.3 V ±5%, enabling direct powering of 3.3-V isolated peripherals - verified in Section 7.9 for 3.3-V output modes with 140 mA max load.
What safety certifications apply specifically to ISOW7742DFMR?
ISOW7742DFMR carries VDE-reinforced insulation per DIN VDE V 0884-11:2017-01, UL 1577 (5000 VRMS), IEC 62368-1, IEC 61010-1, IEC 60601-1, and GB 4943.1-2011 - all explicitly listed for ISOW774x (not ISOW774xB) in the Device Information table and Section 7.7.
How does the EN/FLT pin function in ISOW7742DFMR?
The EN/FLT pin on ISOW7742DFMR is multi-function: configured as an active-high enable input to start/stop the DC-DC converter, or as an open-drain fault output (active-low) signaling overvoltage, undervoltage, overload, or thermal shutdown. Its dual role is detailed in Section 6 pin descriptions and Section 9.3.3.
Can ISOW7742DFMR operate with VIO and VDD supplied from the same rail?
Yes, ISOW7742DFMR can operate with VIO and VDD connected to a shared 3–5.5-V supply, as stated in Section 5: "The ISOW774x can operate from a single supply voltage of 3 V to 5.5 V by connecting VIO and VDD together on PCB." This simplifies power design in cost-sensitive applications where separate supplies are not required.
