ISO6163DWR

Overview

The ISO6163DWR is a low-power, reinforced six-channel digital isolator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features three forward and three reverse channels with bidirectional signal transmission capabilities. The device supports data rates up to 50 Mbps and provides an insulation voltage of 5000 Vrms. Operating supply voltages range from 2.5 V to 5.5 V, with a typical quiescent current of 430 µA per channel. Propagation delay is specified at 9 ns. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is housed in a 16-pin SOIC (DW) package.

Feature Summary

• Pin-to-pin compatible replacement for industry-standard six-channel digital isolators
• Reinforced insulation design ensuring high energy efficiency
• Bidirectional signal transmission across all six channels

Applications

• High energy efficiency industrial applications
• General-purpose digital isolation requiring pin-compatible upgrades
• Systems needing reinforced insulation for safety compliance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DWR' corresponds to the SOIC-16 package and tape-and-reel orientation required for your assembly process. Confirm that the 50 Mbps data rate meets your system timing requirements. Ensure the 5000 Vrms reinforced insulation rating aligns with your safety standards. Check for any recent lifecycle status updates directly from Texas Instruments documentation before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a direct pin-compatible upgrade to existing six-channel isolator designs is necessary without PCB layout changes. It is suitable for applications prioritizing low power consumption alongside standard 50 Mbps performance. Consider the bidirectional nature of all channels if signal flow direction varies across the isolation barrier. Verify that the 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply range matches your system's logic levels.

Part Context

The ISO6163DWR belongs to Texas Instruments' ISO61xx family of low-power digital isolators. This series is designed to replace legacy six-channel isolator solutions while offering improved energy efficiency. The device integrates capacitive coupling technology within a reinforced insulation architecture, providing robust signal integrity in noisy industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

The datasheet explicitly identifies the ISO6163DWR as a pin-to-pin low power replacement for industry-standard six-channel digital isolators. Designers can substitute existing generic six-channel isolators with this part without modifying the printed circuit board footprint or pin connections.
