Product Overview

The ISO1641 is a Texas Instruments I2C digital isolator in the Signal_Chain category. It provides bidirectional SDA communication and unidirectional SCL communication, with bidirectional data transfer specified up to 1.7 MHz. The recommended supply range is 3 V to 5.5 V on Side 1 and 2.25 V to 5.5 V on Side 2.

Package options include SOIC-8 (D), measuring 4.90 mm x 3.91 mm, and SOIC-16 (DW), measuring 10.30 mm x 7.50 mm. The SOIC-8 ISO1641BD option is specified for basic protection, 6500 VPK surge test voltage, 3000 VRMS UL 1577 isolation rating, and 450 VRMS / 637 VPK working voltage. The SOIC-16 ISO1641DW option is specified for reinforced protection, 10000 VPK surge test voltage, 5000 VRMS UL 1577 isolation rating, and 1500 VRMS / 2121 VPK working voltage.

Bus-interface parameters include 3.5 mA Side 1 open-drain sink current, 50 mA Side 2 open-drain sink current, 80 pF Side 1 capacitive load, and 400 pF Side 2 capacitive load. The device is specified over a -40°C to +125°C free-air operating temperature range.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for ISO1641, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For analog and signal-chain sourcing, supply voltage, bandwidth, accuracy, noise level, package, temperature grade, input/output configuration and qualification requirements should be verified before approval.

FAQ
