Product details
Overview
ADUM1200BR from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, bidirectional digital isolator based on iCoupler® transformer technology, providing galvanic isolation between two independent signal paths. It supports 3 V/5 V level translation, operates up to 125°C, delivers 10 Mbps data rate with ≤3 ns pulse width distortion, and is used in SPI isolation, RS-485 transceiver interfaces, and battery monitor systems in hybrid electric vehicles.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM1200BR datasheet, ADUM1200BR pinout, ADUM1200BR application, or ADUM1200BR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-8 package mapping, channel-to-channel timing matching data, safety certifications (UL 1577, VDE 0884-17), and validated alternative options for industrial and automotive signal isolation designs.
Technical Context
The ADUM1200BR implements monolithic air-core transformers for signal coupling across the isolation barrier, eliminating LED/photodiode aging and CTR drift inherent in optocouplers. Its patented refresh circuit ensures DC correctness during idle periods and power transitions without external components.
It features two unidirectional channels (A→B and B→A) with independent supply domains (VDD1/VDD2), enabling mixed-voltage operation (e.g., 5 V/3 V). Timing performance includes 20–55 ns propagation delay, ≤3 ns pulse width distortion, and ≤22 ns channel-to-channel skew under 105°C conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 2500 VRMS for 1 minute per UL 1577; VIORM = 560 VPEAK per VDE 0884-17 - enables reinforced insulation in industrial PLCs and EV battery management. |
| Max Data Rate | 10 Mbps (guaranteed with ≤3 ns pulse width distortion) - supports high-speed SPI clocking and real-time sensor feedback loops. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V on both sides - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripherals without level shifters. |
| Power Consumption | 4.3 mA per side at 10 Mbps (5 V operation) - reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts versus optocouplers. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | >25 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in noisy motor drive environments with fast-switching IGBTs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications including battery monitors and inverters. |
| Propagation Delay Skew | ≤22 ns (codirectional) - ensures deterministic timing alignment between isolated control signals in dual PWM gate drivers. |

Narrow-body RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package (5.3 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.75 mm height), surface-mount, with creepage/clearance ≥5.5 mm per IEC 62368-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDD1) | Primary-side power supply | Supplies power to input-side logic and transformer driver; accepts 2.7–5.5 V. |

| Battery Monitor Systems | Hybrid Electric Vehicle Motor Drives |
Use Scenario: Signal isolation in high-voltage battery packs (400–800 V) where cell voltage sensing ICs communicate with central BMS controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADUM1200BR isolates UART or SPI links from isolated analog front-ends, operating at 3.3 V on BMS side and 5 V on sensor side. Use Value: Dual-channel design reduces component count vs. two single-channel isolators; AEC-Q100 qualification ensures reliability over vehicle lifetime. |
Use Scenario: Gate driver signal isolation in inverter modules controlling traction motors, where MCU PWM outputs must be safely referenced to high-side IGBT emitters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADUM1200BR delivers matched propagation delays (<22 ns skew) between complementary PWM channels to prevent shoot-through. Use Value: Tight channel-to-channel matching and low pulse width distortion preserve dead-time accuracy - critical for inverter efficiency and IGBT protection. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8620BB-B-IS | Capacitive isolation; 10 Mbps max; 2.5–5.5 V supply; 2.5 kV RMS rating | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; lower isolation rating than ADUM1200BR's 2.5 kV RMS | Preferred for cost-sensitive industrial controls where automotive qualification is not required. |
| ISO7220CDR | Capacitive isolation; 10 Mbps max; 3.3/5 V compatible; 2.5 kV RMS rating; no refresh circuit | No built-in DC correctness refresh - requires external periodic toggling or watchdog for static signals | Used where TI ecosystem integration is prioritized and system-level refresh can be implemented in firmware. |
Compared with SI8620BB-B-IS and ISO7220CDR, the ADUM1200BR offers higher safety certification (VDE 0884-17), guaranteed DC correctness without software intervention, and proven 125°C operation - making it the preferred choice for automotive battery monitoring and high-reliability industrial inverters.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed data rate for ADUM1200BR with ≤3 ns pulse width distortion?
The ADUM1200BR guarantees ≤3 ns pulse width distortion up to 10 Mbps under all operating conditions specified in the datasheet (Rev. L, Table 1 and Table 2). This rating applies across the full temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and both 3 V and 5 V supply configurations. The ADUM1200BR achieves this using optimized transformer driver/receiver circuits and precise process-matched timing paths - distinct from the slower AR-grade (1 Mbps) or higher-speed CR-grade (25 Mbps) variants in the same family.
Does ADUM1200BR support bidirectional communication on each channel?
No - the ADUM1200BR implements two unidirectional channels: Channel A (INA → OUTA) and Channel B (INB → OUTB). Bidirectional functionality requires external logic or pairing with an ADUM1201BR (which has cross-connected channels). The ADUM1200BR's fixed directionality simplifies timing analysis and ensures consistent propagation delay behavior, making it ideal for dedicated control/data separation in SPI or UART isolation.
Can ADUM1200BR operate with different supply voltages on each side (e.g., 5 V on VDD1 and 3.3 V on VDD2)?
Yes - the ADUM1200BR supports mixed-supply operation: 5 V/3 V (VDD1 = 4.5–5.5 V, VDD2 = 2.7–3.6 V) and 3 V/5 V (VDD1 = 2.7–3.6 V, VDD2 = 4.5–5.5 V). This enables level translation without external components. Electrical characteristics such as supply current and propagation delay are fully specified for both configurations in Tables 3 and 4 of the ADUM1200/ADUM1201 datasheet Rev. L.
What safety certifications does ADUM1200BR hold?
The ADUM1200BR is certified to UL 1577 (2500 VRMS for 1 minute), DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) with VIORM = 560 VPEAK, IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 61010-1, and CQC GB4943.1. These approvals validate its suitability for reinforced insulation in industrial equipment, medical auxiliary circuits, and automotive battery systems per ISO 26262 ASIL-B functional safety requirements.
Is ADUM1200BR pin-compatible with other devices in the ADUM120x family?
Yes - all ADUM1200/ADUM1201 variants (AR, BR, CR, W-grade) share identical SOIC-8 pinout and footprint. The ADUM1200BR is functionally and physically interchangeable with ADUM1200AR and ADUM1200CR, differing only in speed grade and timing specifications. No PCB layout change is required when upgrading or downgrading within the ADUM1200 series.
