ADUM160N0BRZ

Digital Isolators Overview

The ADUM160N0BRZ is a six-channel digital isolator from Analog Devices, utilizing iCoupler magnetic coupling technology. It features unidirectional data transmission with a maximum data rate of 150 Mb/s and an insulation voltage of 3000 Vrms. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 5.5 V, drawing a typical operating current of 18.3 mA. Key performance metrics include a propagation delay of 7.2 ns, pulse width distortion of 500 ps, and a minimum common-mode transient immunity of 75 kV/µs. It is housed in a 16-lead SOIC package and supports general-purpose applications across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Digital Isolators Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent unidirectional channels using monolithic air-core transformer technology for robust signal isolation.
• Provides high common-mode transient immunity to maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
• Supports voltage translation between different logic domains while maintaining strict channel-to-channel timing matching.

Digital Isolators Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring multi-channel galvanic isolation
• Medical equipment interfaces needing reliable signal separation
• General-purpose digital communication links

Digital Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (BRZ) to confirm the tube packaging format and RoHS compliance status. Confirm availability as distribution status may vary by region. Ensure the design accounts for the specified humidity sensitivity level during storage and handling procedures.

Digital Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when six isolated bidirectional or unidirectional paths are required within a single package. Compare against the ADUM161N, ADUM162N, and ADUM163N variants if different input/output channel configurations are needed. Verify that the 3000 Vrms isolation rating meets the system's safety requirements.

Digital Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the ADuM160N-163N family of six-channel digital isolators designed for SPI and general-purpose applications. These devices combine CMOS technology with iCoupler isolation to replace traditional optocouplers, offering superior speed, lower power consumption, and tighter parameter matching across all channels.

Digital Isolators Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include ADUM161N0BRZ, ADUM162N0BRZ, and ADUM163N0BRZ. These alternatives share identical electrical specifications but differ in internal channel configuration (e.g., 5/1, 4/2, or 3/3 splits).

Digital Isolators FAQ

What is the common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) specification?

The ADUM160N0BRZ has a minimum CMTI of 75 kV/µs, ensuring reliable operation in high-noise environments.
