TheADuM3300/ADuM3301 are 3-channel digital isolators based on the Analog Devices, Inc.,iCoupler®technology. Combining high speed CMOS and monolithic air core transformer technology, these isolation components provide outstanding performance characteristics superior to alternatives, such as optocoupler devices.iCoupler devices remove the design difficulties commonly associated with optocouplers. Typical optocoupler concerns regarding uncertain current transfer ratios, nonlinear transfer functions, and temperature and lifetime effects are eliminated with the simpleiCoupler digital interfaces and stable performance characteristics. The need for external drivers and other discrete components is eliminated with theseiCoupler products. Furthermore,iCoupler devices consume one-tenth to one-sixth the power of optocouplers at comparable signal data rates.The ADuM3300/ADuM3301 isolators provide three independent isolation channels in a variety of channel configurations and data rates. All models operate with the supply voltage on either side ranging from 3.3 V to 5.5 V, providing compatibility with lower voltage systems as well as enabling a voltage translation functionality across the isolation barrier. The ADuM3300/ADuM3301 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 ADuM1300/ADuM1301 isolators, ADuM3300/ADuM3301 isolators contain various circuit and layout changes to provide increased capability relative to system-level IEC 61000-4-x testing (ESD, burst, and surge). The precise capability in these tests for either the ADuM1300/ADuM1301 or ADuM3300/ADuM3301 products is strongly determined by the design and layout of the user’s system.ApplicationsGeneral-purpose multichannel isolationSPI interface/data converter isolationRS-232/RS-422/RS-485 transceiversIndustrial field bus isolation

TheADuM3400/ADuM3401/ADuM3402are 4-channel digital isolators based on the Analog Devices, Inc.,iCoupler®technology.

Furthermore,iCoupler devices consume one-tenth to one-sixth the power of optocouplers at comparable signal data rates.The isolators provide four independent isolation channels in a variety of channel configurations and data rates (see the Ordering Guide). All models 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 isolators have a patented refresh feature that ensures dc correctness in the absence of input logic transitions and during powerup/power-down conditions.In comparison to theADuM1400/ADuM1401/ADuM1402isolators, the ADuM3400/ADuM3401/ADuM3402 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 set of isolators is strongly determined by the design and layout of the user’s board or module.

The ADuM3470 /ADuM3471/ADuM3472/ADuM3473/ADuM3474devices are quad-channel, digital isolators with an integrated PWM controller and transformer driver for an isolated DC/DC converter. Based on the Analog Devices, Inc.,iCoupler®technology, the DC/DC converter provides up to 2 W of regulated, isolated power at 3.3 V to 24 V from a 5.0 V input supply or from a 3.3 V supply. This eliminates the need for a separate, isolated DC/DC converter in 2 W isolated designs. TheiCoupler chip-scale transformer technology is used to isolate the logic signals, and the integrated transformer driver with isolated secondary side control provides higher efficiency for the isolated DC/DC converter. The result is a small form factor, total isolation solution.The ADuM347x isolators provide four independent isolation channels in a variety of channel configurations and data rates.APPLICATIONSRS-232/RS-422/RS-485 transceiversIndustrial field bus isolationPower supply startup bias and gate drivesIsolated sensor interfacesProcess controls
