ISO7741-Q1: ISO7741FBDWR is not transmitted data

Part Number: ISO7741-Q1

Tool/software:

Hi,

I am using ISO7741FBDWR as isolated 1mbps UART. I found that communication is not being transferred to isolated side from MCU.I am attaching my schematics> Please let me know if there is any mistake

Thanks & Regards

  • The schematic does not show decoupling capacitors.

    The IN pins are inputs, the OUT pins are outputs.  As far as I can see, the MCU_TX signal should go through channel D.

    The idle state of UART signals is high; you should use the isolator without the F suffix.

  • Hi Mounish,

    As Clemens stated, there are no decoupling capacitors of 0.1uF present on the VCC pins. We highly recommend these decoupling capacitors as they allow for proper functionality of the device.

    Also, I see that the "F" version of the device is used meaning that the default state is LOW. As Clemens mentioned, the non-F version may be more beneficial for you since the idle UART signal state is HIGH.

    Please Also review the signal Input and outputs. This may be a mistake in the schematic diagram itself but the MCU_TX signal is pointing inwards, so I am not sure if that means it is an input to the isolator or an output that is going to the MCU.
