NRND5,062 in stock

Overview

The MAX14931FASE+ is a high-speed, four-channel digital isolator utilizing capacitive coupling technology to provide 2750Vrms of galvanic isolation. It features a 3/1 channel configuration (three forward, one reverse) and supports data rates up to 150Mbps while operating across a wide supply range of 1.71V to 5.5V.

Why Choose This Part

This isolator offers exceptional high-speed performance with very low propagation delay and a high typical CMTI of 25kV/us. Its wide operating temperature range of -40C to +125C and flexible 1.71V-5.5V logic compatibility make it suitable for a broad array of low-power and high-reliability systems.

Applications

Isolated SPI Communications
The 150Mbps throughput and 3/1 channel architecture are specifically optimized for high-speed SPI bus isolation between a controller and a peripheral.
Industrial Fieldbus Interfaces
Provides essential signal isolation for RS-485, RS-232, and CAN networks in noisy industrial environments to prevent ground loops.
Battery Management Systems (BMS)
Safely bridges high-voltage battery stacks and low-voltage control logic while maintaining high signal integrity.
Medical Equipment
Used in clinical instrumentation requiring robust galvanic isolation for patient safety and data protection.

Getting Started

Designers can evaluate this series using the MAX1493XWEVKIT evaluation kit. Ensure that bypass capacitors (0.1uF) are placed as close as possible to the VDD pins on both the primary and secondary sides to maintain stability during high-speed switching.
