General Purpose Digital Isolator 2500Vrms 4 Channel 1Mbps 25kV/µs CMTI 16-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width)
NRND889 in stock

Overview

The ADuM5401ARWZ is a quad-channel digital isolator based on Analog Devices' iCoupler technology, featuring integrated isoPower dc-to-dc conversion. It provides 2500Vrms isolation and eliminates the need for a separate isolated dc-to-dc converter in low-power designs by providing up to 500mW of isolated power from a 3V to 5.5V supply. This specific variant offers three forward channels and one reverse channel with a 1Mbps data rate.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the integration of both signal and power isolation in a single 16-SOIC package, significantly reducing PCB area and BOM complexity. It features a high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of 25kV/us and maintains isolation integrity across an operating temperature range of -40C to +105C.

Applications

Industrial Fieldbus Isolation
Isolates RS-422, RS-485, and CAN bus nodes from ground loops and high-voltage transients.
Isolated Sensor Interfaces
Provides both power and signal isolation for sensors located in high-side or noisy environments.
Power Supply Gate Drives
Used for floating gate drive bias in power conversion stages requiring isolated control signals.

Getting Started

When designing with the ADuM5401ARWZ, ensure proper bypass capacitors (0.1uF and 10uF) are placed as close to the VDD and VISO pins as possible to manage switching noise from the internal dc-to-dc converter. Use a four-layer PCB with internal ground planes to minimize EMI emissions associated with the integrated power technology. Engineers can evaluate this technology using the EVAL-ADuM5401EBZ evaluation board.
