Product details
Overview
ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified quad-channel digital isolator with integrated low-noise, low-emission DC-DC converter for automotive isolation. It delivers up to 140 mA at 3.3 V isolated output (VSEL = GND2), supports 100 Mbps data rate, features 100 kV/µs CMTI, and operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature - deployed in battery management systems and traction inverters.
For engineers reviewing the ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 datasheet, ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 pinout, ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 application, or ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated power capability (550 mW max), reinforced insulation certification (VDE 0884-17, UL 1577), SOIC-20 wide-body package footprint, and dual independent supply domains (VIO: 1.71–5.5 V; VDD: 3–5.5 V).
Technical Context
The ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 integrates four galvanically isolated signal channels using double capacitive SiO₂ barriers and a transformer-based isolated DC-DC converter operating at 25 MHz. Its power stage includes soft-start, over-voltage/under-voltage lockout, short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown - enabling robust operation without external isolated bias supplies.
Signal channels support independent enable control (EN_IO1/EN_IO2), configurable default output polarity (F-suffix = fail-low), and operate with logic supplies decoupled from power-converter rails. VISOIN and VISOOUT are externally connected via ferrite bead or LDO to suppress emissions and meet CISPR-25 Class 5 requirements.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 uses a 20-pin SOIC wide-body (DFM) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 12.83 mm × 10.30 mm body size, and reinforced insulation barrier separating primary (GND1/VIO/VDD) and secondary (GND2/VISOIN/VISOOUT) sides.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| INA, INB, INC, IND | Input channels A–D (primary side) | Digital inputs referenced to VIO/GNDIO; accept 1.71–5.5 V logic levels. |
| OUTA, OUTB, OUTC, OUTD | Output channels A–D (secondary side) | Isolated CMOS outputs referenced to VISOIN/GND2; default-low behavior (F-suffix). |
| VIO, GNDIO, GND1 | Primary logic supply domain | VIO powers input buffers and EN_IOx logic; GNDIO/GND1 must be shorted on PCB. |
| VDD, EN/FLT | DC-DC converter supply & control | VDD powers primary-side converter; EN/FLT serves as enable input or fault alert output (active-low). |
| VISOIN, VISOOUT, GND2, GISOIN | Secondary-side power domain | VISOIN supplies isolator outputs; VISOOUT delivers regulated isolated power; GND2/GISOIN may be shorted or filtered. |
| VSEL | VISOOUT voltage select | Connect to GND2 → 3.3 V output; connect to VISOOUT → 5 V output. |
| EN_IO1, EN_IO2 | Channel output enable controls | Independent enables for side-1 (OUTA–OUTD) and side-2 (INA–IND) output drivers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Low-Noise DC-DC | 25 MHz switching frequency with <24 mVpp ripple at 140 mA - avoids interference with sensitive ADCs or current sensors. |
| CISPR-25 Emission Compliance | Optimized layout and internal filtering meet Class 5 radiated emission limits without external ferrites in most layouts. |
| System-Level EMC Robustness | ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD across barrier; EFT/surge immunity built into architecture - reduces external protection component count. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-channel isolated power applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISOW7741FQDFMRQ1 | Same pinout and specs, but with 4-channel configuration optimized for unidirectional signal flow (INA→OUTA, etc.) - no cross-channel routing. | Preferred when all four channels require identical directionality (e.g., four sensor inputs), not mixed Tx/Rx pairs. | Select ISOW7741FQDFMRQ1 if channel mapping matches fixed input→output topology; ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 supports flexible bidirectional use per channel pair. |
| ADUM6420ARWZ-RL | 4-channel isolator with integrated 500 mW DC-DC; lower CMTI (50 kV/µs), no AEC-Q100 qualification, wider SOIC-20 package (10.3 mm vs 12.83 mm length). | Suitable for industrial automation, not automotive safety-critical systems requiring ASIL compliance. | Choose ADUM6420ARWZ-RL only for non-automotive applications where AEC-Q100 and 100 kV/µs CMTI are not required. |
Compared with ISOW7741FQDFMRQ1, ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 offers reconfigurable channel directionality and identical automotive qualification; versus ADUM6420ARWZ-RL, it adds AEC-Q100 Grade 1, higher CMTI, and tighter emissions control - making it the sole option for ISO 26262-compliant EV powertrain subsystems.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 at 3.3 V isolated output?
ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 delivers up to 140 mA at 3.3 V isolated output when VSEL is connected to GND2. This is verified under VDD = 5 V, ambient temperature ≤ 80°C, and includes margin for efficiency derating and thermal performance - sufficient to power isolated ADCs, gate drivers, or microcontrollers in automotive BMS modules.
Does ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 support fail-safe default output behavior?
Yes, ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 (with the 'F' suffix) guarantees low-state outputs on all four channels (OUTA–OUTD) when input signals are lost or power is interrupted. This fail-low behavior is confirmed in the device functional modes section of the datasheet and is essential for safe shutdown in traction inverter and contactor control applications.
Can ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 operate with different supply voltages on its logic and power-converter sides?
Yes, ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 supports independent supplies: VIO (1.71–5.5 V) for logic-side buffers and EN_IOx pins, and VDD (3–5.5 V) for the integrated DC-DC converter. This allows interfacing a 1.8 V MCU with a 5 V isolated power rail - a capability explicitly specified in Section 5.3 Recommended Operating Conditions.
What safety certifications does ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 hold for automotive use?
ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 holds VDE reinforced insulation per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), UL 1577 component recognition, and system-level certifications including IEC 62368-1, IEC 61010-1, IEC 60601-1, and GB 4943.1 - all documented in Section 5.7 of the official TI datasheet SLLSFK3A.
How does the EN/FLT pin function in ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1?
The EN/FLT pin on ISOW7742FQDFMRQ1 serves dual roles: as an enable input (high = DC-DC active) or fault output (active-low alert). When used as input, it accepts logic-level signals from a microcontroller; when used as output, it requires a ≥5 kΩ pull-up resistor. This dual functionality is detailed in Section 4 Pin Configuration and Functions and Section 7.3.3 of the TI datasheet.
