Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ISOW7844FDWER and ISOW7844DWER are parametric equivalents within the ISOW7844 base product family. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Isolation Voltage Rating: Both parts maintain 5000Vrms isolation specification
• Channel Configuration: Both provide 4 unidirectional channels with 0/4 input-output distribution
• Common Mode Transient Immunity: Both rated at 100kV/µs minimum
• Data Rate: Both support 100Mbps operation
• Supply Voltage Range: Both operate across 3V to 5.5V
• Operating Temperature Range: Both rated -40°C to 125°C
• Package Type: Both use 16-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width) surface mount packaging
• Technology Platform: Both utilize capacitive coupling isolation technology
• Compliance Standards: Both are ROHS3 compliant with identical MSL rating of 3 (168 Hours)

These parts are interchangeable at the functional and electrical level, with differences limited to packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Digi-Reel) and inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison
