NRND8,029 in stock

Overview

The MAX12930FASA+ is a high-speed, two-channel digital isolator designed to provide up to 3750Vrms of galvanic isolation. It utilizes Maxim Integrated's proprietary capacitive coupling technology to support data rates up to 150Mbps while maintaining low power consumption and high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI). This specific variant features a default-low output state and is housed in a narrow 8-SOIC package.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers robust operation with a typical CMTI of 50kV/us, ensuring data integrity during fast voltage transients. Its wide supply range of 1.71V to 5.5V allows for direct interfacing with various logic levels without additional level shifters. Furthermore, it maintains high efficiency with a run current of 2.88mA at 2.5V VDDA while operating at 50MHz.

Applications

Industrial Fieldbus Isolation
Provides high-speed signal isolation for RS-485, RS-232, and CAN bus interfaces in noisy industrial environments.
Battery Management Systems (BMS)
Safely bridges communication between high-voltage battery stacks and low-voltage control electronics.
Isolated SPI/UART Communication
Enables high-speed chip-to-chip communication across different ground planes in power inverter designs.

Getting Started

For rapid prototyping, engineers can use the MAX12931WEVKIT evaluation kit to test the electrical and timing characteristics of the MAX12930 family. Ensure decoupling capacitors (0.1uF) are placed as close as possible to the VDD pins on both the primary and secondary sides to maintain signal integrity at 150Mbps.
