Product details
Overview
ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is a 3.0 kVrms, dual-channel digital isolator based on iCoupler® transformer technology, providing galvanic isolation between two independent logic domains. It delivers 150 Mbps data rate, 13 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, and operates across 1.7–5.5 V supply ranges on both sides - enabling level translation and fail-safe low output state. It is used in industrial PLC I/O modules to isolate microcontroller UART/SPI signals from noisy field-side sensor/actuator interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 datasheet, ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 pinout, ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 application, or ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-8 package layout, safety certifications (UL 1577, VDE 0884-17), fail-safe behavior under power loss, and validated alternatives for industrial and automotive signal isolation design.
Technical Context
The ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 implements two independent unidirectional CMOS-isolated channels using monolithic air-core transformers, with no optocoupler LED degradation or timing drift. Its architecture ensures DC-correct output even during input inactivity and supports asymmetric supply configurations (e.g., 1.8 V input side / 3.3 V output side).
It features reinforced insulation rated to 565 Vpeak (VIORM) per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), 3000 Vrms withstand voltage for 1 minute, and 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity - critical for motor drive gate driver feedback and isolated ADC communication in high-noise factory environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 150 Mbps minimum - supports high-speed serial interfaces like isolated SPI clock lines up to 75 MHz. |
| Propagation Delay | 13 ns maximum at 5 V - enables tight timing budgets in real-time control loops with sub-20 ns channel-to-channel skew. |
| Isolation Voltage | 3000 Vrms for 1 minute - meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial equipment per IEC 61010-1 and IEC 60601-1. |
| Supply Range | 1.7 V to 5.5 V on both sides - allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy peripherals without level shifters. |
| Fail-Safe Output | Low-state default (N0 variant) - outputs go low when either VDD1 or VDD2 is unpowered, preventing undefined states in safety-critical shutdown paths. |
| Common-Mode Immunity | 100 kV/µs typical - maintains signal integrity during fast transients from IGBT switching or ESD events in motor drives. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 uses an 8-lead, RoHS-compliant, wide-body SOIC package (SOIC_W) with 4.5 mm minimum PCB creepage and 4.01 mm clearance - compliant with pollution degree 2 and altitudes ≤2000 m per IEC 62368-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD1 | Input-side power supply | Supplies isolator side 1; requires local 0.01–0.1 µF decoupling capacitor to minimize noise coupling into isolation barrier. |
| 2 - VIA | Channel A input | CMOS-compatible logic input referenced to VDD1/GND1; accepts 1.7–5.5 V logic levels. |
| 3 - VIB | Channel B input | Independent CMOS input for second channel; electrically isolated from VIA and all output pins. |
| 4 - GND1 | Input-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1 and input signals; must be separated from GND2 by ≥4.5 mm on PCB to maintain creepage. |
| 5 - GND2 | Output-side ground reference | Return path for VDD2 and output signals; forms isolated domain boundary with GND1. |
| 6 - VOB | Channel B output | CMOS output referenced to VDD2/GND2; drives loads up to ±10 mA with rail-to-rail swing. |
| 7 - VOA | Channel A output | Independent output with identical specs to VOB; supports bidirectional signal routing via external logic if needed. |
| 8 - VDD2 | Output-side power supply | Supplies isolator side 2; enables level translation - e.g., 1.8 V input logic → 3.3 V output logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| iCoupler® transformer isolation | Eliminates LED aging and CTR degradation of optocouplers; guarantees >50-year lifetime at 125°C ambient. |
| Fail-safe low output (N0) | Ensures deterministic low-level output during VDD1 or VDD2 undervoltage, supporting safe shutdown in industrial safety circuits. |
| 1.7–5.5 V dual-supply operation | Enables seamless voltage translation between mixed-voltage systems - e.g., isolating a 1.8 V FPGA from a 5 V analog front-end. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including battery management system (BMS) cell monitoring and inverter control interfaces. |
| VDE 0884-17 (DIN EN IEC 60747-17) certification | Reinforced insulation approval with partial discharge testing (≤5 pC) - required for medical and industrial safety-critical designs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM1285ARZ-RL7 | Same SOIC-8 package and pinout; 25 Mbps max data rate; 35 ns max propagation delay; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Targeted at cost-sensitive industrial control where 150 Mbps is unnecessary; lacks automotive qualification and high-speed jitter performance. | Select when budget constraints outweigh speed/safety requirements and operating temperature stays ≤105°C. |
| SI8620ED-B-IS | Capacitive isolation; 150 Mbps; 13 ns max propagation delay; 5000 Vrms isolation; SOIC-8; no AEC-Q100. | Higher isolation voltage but lacks VDE 0884-17 certification and medical-grade safety approvals; different failure mode under ESD stress. | Prefer for mains-connected equipment needing >3 kVrms, but verify regulatory alignment for medical/automotive use cases. |
Compared with ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7, ADUM1285ARZ-RL7 trades speed and qualification for lower cost, while SI8620ED-B-IS offers higher isolation voltage but omits critical medical and automotive safety certifications - making ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 the only option meeting simultaneous 150 Mbps, AEC-Q100, and VDE 0884-17 requirements.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe behavior of ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 when power is lost?
ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 is the N0 variant, meaning its outputs default to logic low when either VDD1 or VDD2 is unpowered or falls below UVLO threshold (1.5 V). This behavior is confirmed in the Truth Table (Table 15) and ensures predictable shutdown in safety-critical paths - unlike N1 variants which default high. The device does not latch or oscillate during brownout.
Does ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 support level translation between different supply voltages?
Yes. ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 supports independent 1.7–5.5 V supplies on VDD1 and VDD2, enabling true bidirectional level translation - for example, 1.8 V logic on the input side can drive 5 V logic on the output side, or vice versa. Input thresholds scale with VDDx (VIH = 0.7×VDDx), and outputs swing rail-to-rail, as specified in Tables 1–7.
Which safety standards does ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 comply with?
ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 is certified to UL 1577 (3000 Vrms), CSA/IEC 62368-1, IEC/CSA 60601-1 (1 MOPP), IEC/CSA 61010-1, CQC GB4943.1, and DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) for reinforced insulation. These are explicitly listed in Table 11 and Section "Regulatory Information", with VIORM = 565 Vpeak and test voltage = 1059 Vpeak.
Can ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 replace ADUM1285 in existing designs?
Yes - ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 is explicitly stated as pin-compatible with ADUM1285 (see Features section and General Description). Both use SOIC-8 packages with identical pin functions (VDD1, VIA, VIB, GND1, GND2, VOB, VOA, VDD2). However, ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 adds 150 Mbps capability, tighter timing (13 ns vs. 35 ns), and AEC-Q100 qualification - requiring validation of timing margins and thermal performance in upgraded operation.
What is the maximum common-mode transient immunity of ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7?
ADUM120N0WBRZ-RL7 delivers 100 kV/µs typical common-mode transient immunity (|CMH| and |CML|), tested at VCM = 1000 V with 800 V transient magnitude (Table 1, Notes 6). This value is guaranteed across −40°C to +125°C and is critical for noise resilience in motor drives and switch-mode power supplies where fast dv/dt edges cross the isolation barrier.
