Analog Devices Inc. ADUM1210BRZ

The ADUM1210BRZ from Analog Devices Inc. is a dual-channel digital isolator based on Analog Devices' iCoupler® technology. This component combines high-speed CMOS and monolithic transformer technology to provide superior performance compared to traditional optocoupler devices. It eliminates issues such as uncertain current transfer ratios, nonlinear transfer functions, and temperature and lifetime effects associated with optocouplers. The ADUM1210BRZ is designed for high reliability and stability, making it suitable for various critical isolation applications.

• High-Speed CMOS and Monolithic Transformer Technology: Combines to provide superior performance and stability compared to optocouplers.
• Low Power Operation: Low quiescent current per channel, with maximum currents of 1.1 mA per channel at 5V and 0.8 mA per channel at 3V for data rates up to 2 Mbps.
• RoHS Compliance: The device is RoHS-compliant, ensuring it meets environmental standards by being lead-free.
• High Common-Mode Transient Immunity: Provides 35 kV/μs typical immunity, ensuring robust performance in noisy environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Operates from -40°C to +105°C, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
• Refresh Feature: Ensures DC correctness in the absence of input logic transitions and during power-up/power-down conditions.
• Default Output State: Outputs default to a logic low state when input power is off, unlike some other models that default to high.

• Size-Critical Multichannel Isolation: Ideal for applications where space is limited but multiple channels of isolation are required.
• SPI Interface/Data Converter Isolation: Suitable for isolating SPI interfaces and data converters in various systems.
• RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 Transceiver Isolation: Used in serial communication systems to ensure signal integrity and isolation.
• Digital Field Bus Isolation: Applies to field bus systems requiring reliable and isolated digital communication.
• Gate Drive Interface: Used in power electronics to isolate gate drive signals from the rest of the system.
