Product details
Overview
ISOW7841FDWE from Texas Instruments is a reinforced quad-channel digital isolator with integrated 5-V/3.3-V DC-DC converter, delivering up to 130 mA load current at 5 V output, 100 Mbps data rate, and 5000 VRMS isolation rating. It serves as a single-chip isolated power + signal solution in industrial motor control interfaces where space-constrained PCBs require elimination of external isolated DC-DC.
For engineers reviewing the ISOW7841FDWE datasheet, ISOW7841FDWE pinout, ISOW7841FDWE application, or ISOW7841FDWE equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin SOIC-WB package, bidirectional channel configuration (3 forward + 1 reverse), ±100 kV/µs CMTI, and SEL-pin-selectable 5-V/3.3-V isolated output voltage.
Technical Context
The ISOW7841FDWE implements dual-isolation architecture: capacitive SiO₂ barriers for signal channels (INA–IND inputs → OUTA–OUTD outputs) and on-chip polymer-insulated transformers for power conversion. Its channel mapping-3 input-to-output (forward) and 1 output-to-input (reverse)-enables bidirectional communication across the barrier without external level-shifting.
Signal integrity is maintained via low propagation delay (13 ns typ at 5 V), high common-mode transient immunity (±100 kV/µs), and robust EMC performance including ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge protection across the isolation barrier. The integrated DC-DC converter supports soft-start, overload/short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data rate | 100 Mbps - supports high-speed serial interfaces like isolated SPI or RS-485 control links |
| Isolation rating | 5000 VRMS - meets UL 1577 and reinforced insulation requirements for industrial safety |
| CMTI | ±100 kV/µs - prevents false triggering in noisy motor drive or grid-tied inverter environments |
| Output power | 0.65 W - sufficient to power isolated ADCs, gate drivers, or microcontrollers without auxiliary supply |
| Load current | ≥130 mA @ 5 V output - enables direct powering of 5-V logic or analog circuitry on isolated side |
| Propagation delay | 13 ns (typ, 5-V supply) - preserves timing margins in real-time control loops |
| Operating temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, factory-floor, and outdoor infrastructure use |
Pinout & Package
ISOW7841FDWE is housed in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC (SOIC-WB, DWE) package measuring 10.30 mm × 7.50 mm, optimized for creepage/clearance compliance in high-voltage systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Primary-side supply input | 3–5.5 V input referenced to GND1; powers internal logic and DC-DC primary |
| GND1 | Primary-side ground | Reference for VCC and input-side signals (INA–IND) |
| INA, INB, INC | Input channels (forward) | Logic inputs referenced to VSI (VCC or VISO); mapped to OUTA, OUTB, OUTC respectively |
| IND | Input channel (reverse) | Input referenced to VISO; mapped to OUTD - enables feedback from isolated side |
| OUTA–OUTD | Output channels | LVCMOS outputs referenced to VSO (VCC or VISO); OUTD driven by IND, others by corresponding inputs |
| SEL | VISO selection control | Configures isolated output: shorted to VISO → 5 V; shorted to GND2 or floating → 3.3 V |
| VISO | Isolated supply output | Regulated 5-V or 3.3-V output (per SEL) referenced to GND2; powers isolated-side circuitry |
| GND2 | Isolated-side ground | Reference for VISO and output-side signals (OUTA–OUTD, IND) |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet |

|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM6421AARIZ-RL | 4 forward channels only; no reverse channel; 500 mW max output; 50 Mbps data rate | Suitable for unidirectional control-only isolation; lacks IND→OUTD reverse path needed for feedback | Select when only forward isolation is required and lower data rate suffices |

FAQ
What is the maximum load current supported by ISOW7841FDWE at 3.3-V isolated output?
The ISOW7841FDWE supports ≥75 mA load current when configured for 3.3-V VISO output (SEL tied to GND2 or left floating). This is verified per Section 7.15 of the datasheet under 3.3-V input, 3.3-V output conditions. The ISOW7841FDWE maintains regulation and thermal stability within this limit across its full –40°C to +125°C operating range.
Does ISOW7841FDWE support bidirectional data flow across the isolation barrier?
Yes, the ISOW7841FDWE supports bidirectional communication: three forward channels (INA→OUTA, INB→OUTB, INC→OUTC) and one reverse channel (IND→OUTD). This allows feedback signals from the isolated side to be transmitted back to the primary side without external components. The ISOW7841FDWE pinout confirms IND on pin 11 and OUTD on pin 6, matching Figure 6-2 in the datasheet.
What safety certifications does ISOW7841FDWE hold for medical applications?
The ISOW7841FDWE holds CSA certification per IEC 60601-1 with 2 MOPP (Means of Patient Protection), supporting its use in patient-connected medical equipment. It is rated for 250 VRMS maximum working voltage under IEC 60601-1 Ed. 3+A1 and carries TUV EN 61010-1 certification. These approvals are documented in Section 7.7 of the ISOW7841FDWE datasheet.
How does the SEL pin configure the isolated output voltage of ISOW7841FDWE?
The SEL pin on ISOW7841FDWE selects VISO output voltage: shorting SEL to VISO sets 5-V output; shorting SEL to GND2 or leaving it floating sets 3.3-V output. This configuration is active at power-up and remains latched. The ISOW7841FDWE datasheet specifies this behavior in Section 6 (Pin Functions) and Section 9.4 (Device Functional Modes).
What is the CMTI rating of ISOW7841FDWE and why is it critical in motor control?
The ISOW7841FDWE has a minimum common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of ±100 kV/µs. In motor control applications, fast-switching IGBTs/SiC FETs generate high dv/dt noise that can corrupt isolated signals. This high CMTI ensures reliable operation of the ISOW7841FDWE in noisy environments such as VFDs and servo drives, preventing false triggering of gate drivers or misreading of current-sense data.
