ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7

Digital Isolators Overview

The ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 is a six-channel digital isolator from the Analog Devices ADuM160N series, utilizing iCoupler magnetic coupling technology. It features unidirectional data transmission with a maximum data rate of 150 Mb/s and an isolation voltage of 3000 Vrms. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3 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 and a common-mode transient immunity of 75 kV/µs. It is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and supports an extended operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Digital Isolators Feature Summary

• Integrates six independent unidirectional signal channels using monolithic air-core transformer technology for robust magnetic coupling isolation.
• Provides high-speed data transmission capabilities up to 150 Mb/s with tight channel-to-channel matching for precise timing applications.
• Ensures electrical safety with a rated isolation voltage of 3000 Vrms and high common-mode transient immunity of 75 kV/µs.

Digital Isolators Applications

• Isolating SPI communication interfaces in industrial control systems
• Connecting microcontrollers to peripheral devices across galvanic barriers
• Signal isolation in multi-channel data acquisition systems

Digital Isolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RL7 corresponds to the required reel packaging configuration before ordering. Confirm that the 16-SOIC footprint matches the target PCB layout dimensions. Ensure the component's moisture sensitivity level and reflow soldering profile requirements are compatible with the assembly process specifications.

Digital Isolators Selection Notes

Select this component when six isolated bidirectional or unidirectional channels are required for SPI or similar digital protocols. Compare against the ADUM161N, ADUM162N, and ADUM163N variants if different input-output channel configurations such as 4/2 or 3/3 are needed instead of the 6/0 arrangement provided by this model.

Digital Isolators Part Context

This part belongs to the ADuM160N family of six-channel digital isolators designed specifically for high-density SPI applications. The family leverages Analog Devices' proprietary iCoupler technology to replace traditional optocouplers, offering superior speed, lower power consumption, and better reliability in harsh electromagnetic environments.

Digital Isolators Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents within the same family include ADUM161N1BRZ-RL7, ADUM162N0BRZ-RL7, and ADUM163N1BRZ-RL7. These parts share identical pinouts and core specifications but differ in the distribution of input and output channels across the isolation barrier.
