ISO7742DBQR

The ISO7742DBQR is a high-performance, quad-channel digital isolator from Texas Instruments, designed for robust signal isolation in industrial, automotive, and medical applications. It features reinforced isolation (up to 5kVRMS) and supports data rates up to 100 Mbps, ensuring reliable communication in noisy environments.
Key features include:
- Quad-channel isolation (configurable as 3 forward + 1 reverse or 4 forward channels).
- Wide supply range (2.25V to 5.5V), enabling compatibility with various logic levels.
- High CMTI (100 kV/µs) for noise immunity.
- AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use.
Packaged in a 16-pin SSOP (DBQR), it suits space-constrained designs. The ISO7742DBQR is ideal for isolating SPI, I²C, or UART interfaces in systems requiring safety and reliability, such as motor drives, PLCs, or EV chargers.
