BL7121AH

BL Shanghai Belling · Digital Isolators · SOIC-8

BL7121AH from BL Shanghai Belling, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VDD1 power_in Side 1 power supply, 2.5 V to 5.5 V (recommended). Requires a 0.1 uF bypass capacitor to GND1 close to the pin. Absolute max 6 V.
2 VOA output Channel A digital output on side 1 (reverse channel). Referenced to VDD1/GND1. Drives IOH up to -4 mA / IOL up to 4 mA at 5 V supply. Default state is HIGH (AH suffix) when input power or signal is lost.
3 VIB input Channel B digital input on side 1 (forward channel). Referenced to VDD1/GND1. VIH >= 0.7VDD1, VIL <= 0.25VDD1. High-Z if left open (output goes to default HIGH state).
4 GND1 power_in Ground reference for side 1 (VDD1 domain). Isolated from GND2 by the SiO2 capacitive barrier (up to 3750 VRMS working isolation).
5 GND2 power_in Ground reference for side 2 (VDD2 domain). Isolated from GND1 by the SiO2 capacitive barrier.
6 VOB output Channel B digital output on side 2 (forward channel). Referenced to VDD2/GND2. Drives IOH up to -4 mA / IOL up to 4 mA at 5 V supply. Default state is HIGH (AH suffix) when input power or signal is lost.
7 VIA input Channel A digital input on side 2 (reverse channel). Referenced to VDD2/GND2. VIH >= 0.7VDD2, VIL <= 0.25VDD2. High-Z if left open (output goes to default HIGH state).
8 VDD2 power_in Side 2 power supply, 2.5 V to 5.5 V (recommended). Requires a 0.1 uF bypass capacitor to GND2 close to the pin. Absolute max 6 V.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
bl7121ah.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
bl7121ah-etched.step 1.4 MB You want the part with BL7121AH already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 366 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:
