GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADuM320x1 are dual-channel, digital isolators based on

Analog Devices’ iCoupler® technology. Combining high speed

CMOS and monolithic transformer technology, these isolation

components provide outstanding performance characteristics

superior to alternatives such as optocoupler devices.

By avoiding the use of LEDs and photodiodes, iCoupler devices

remove the design difficulties commonly associated with

optocouplers. The typical optocoupler concerns regarding

uncertain current transfer ratios, nonlinear transfer functions,

and temperature and lifetime effects are eliminated with the

simple iCoupler digital interfaces and stable performance

characteristics. The need for external drivers and other discrete

components is eliminated with these iCoupler products.

Furthermore, iCoupler devices consume one-tenth to one-sixth

the power of optocouplers at comparable signal data rates.

The ADuM320x isolators provide two independent isolation

channels in a variety of channel configurations and data rates

(see the Ordering Guide). Both parts operate with the supply

voltage on either side ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, providing

compatibility with lower voltage systems as well as enabling a

voltage translation functionality across the isolation barrier. The

ADuM320x isolators have a patented refresh feature that ensures

dc correctness in the absence of input logic transitions and

during power-up/power-down conditions.

In comparison to the ADuM120x isolators, the ADuM320x

isolators contain various circuit and layout changes to provide

increased capability relative to system-level IEC 61000-4-x

testing (ESD, burst, surge). The precise capability in these tests

for either the ADuM120x or ADuM320x products is strongly

determined by the design and layout of the user’s board or

module. For more information, see Application Note AN-793,
