Product details
Overview
ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is a 3 kVRMS dual-channel digital isolator based on iCoupler® transformer technology, providing bidirectional signal isolation with 100 Mbps data rate, 23 ns typical propagation delay, and 3.3 V to 5 V level translation. It features default-high output logic, operates from −40°C to +125°C, and is used in industrial field bus interfaces requiring high common-mode transient immunity (>25 kV/µs).
For engineers reviewing the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 datasheet, ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 pinout, ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 application, or ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, safety-certified insulation parameters (UL 1577, VDE 0884-17), channel-level truth table behavior, and real-world design implications for mixed-voltage isolation systems.
Technical Context
The ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 implements two independent galvanic isolation channels using monolithic air-core transformers, enabling dc-correct signal transmission without optical components. Its patented refresh circuit maintains output state during input inactivity, eliminating dc drift issues found in optocouplers.
It supports asymmetric supply configurations (e.g., 5 V on Side 1, 3.3 V on Side 2), with logic thresholds referenced to respective VDDx rails (VIH = 0.7×VDDx, VIL = 0.3×VDDx) and output drive capability up to ±3.2 mA per channel at defined VOL/VOH levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 100 Mbps NRZ - enables high-speed SPI, RS-485, or CAN FD interface isolation without timing bottlenecks. |
| Propagation Delay | 23 ns typical (C grade) - ensures tight timing alignment in synchronous digital systems like motor control feedback loops. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | >25 kV/µs - sustains reliable operation in noisy industrial environments with fast-switching power electronics. |
| Isolation Rating | 3000 VRMS for 1 minute, VIORM = 565 VPEAK - meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 62368-1 and DIN EN IEC 60747-17. |
| Supply Range | 3.135 V to 5.5 V per side - allows flexible integration across 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy peripherals. |
| Default Output State | High - provides fail-safe logic-high assertion on power-up or input-side undervoltage, critical for safety interlock circuits. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive applications. |
Pinout & Package
Narrow-body 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC_N), RoHS-compliant, with 4.0 mm creepage and clearance per IEC 62368-1 (pollution degree 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD1 | Input-side supply | Power rail for Side 1 logic inputs (VIA, VIB); must be within 3.135–5.5 V; powers internal refresh circuitry. |
| 2 - VIA | Input A | Primary logic input on Side 1; drives isolated output VOA with default-high behavior when unpowered. |
| 3 - VIB | Input B | Secondary logic input on Side 1; drives isolated output VOB; supports independent channel operation. |
| 4 - GND1 | Input-side ground | Reference return for VDD1, VIA, and VIB; must be isolated from GND2 by PCB layout and system grounding. |
| 5 - GND2 | Output-side ground | Reference return for VDD2, VOA, and VOB; forms the isolated secondary domain with no conductive path to GND1. |
| 6 - VOB | Output B | Isolated replica of VIB; logic-high default ensures safe state during VDD1 loss or startup. |
| 7 - VOA | Output A | Isolated replica of VIA; synchronized with input via transformer coupling; jitter ≤1 ns supports precise timing. |
| 8 - VDD2 | Output-side supply | Power rail for Side 2 outputs (VOA, VOB); enables level translation - e.g., 3.3 V input → 5 V output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented dc-correct refresh | Maintains valid output logic state indefinitely without input transitions - eliminates need for external watchdog or clock injection. |
| Asymmetric voltage operation | Supports 3.3 V ↔ 5 V level translation across isolation barrier - simplifies interface between modern MCUs and legacy 5 V peripherals. |
| Tight channel matching | ≤2 ns pulse width distortion and ≤5 ns codirectional skew - preserves signal integrity in differential or time-critical protocols. |
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Qualified for automotive applications (Grade 1: −40°C to +125°C) - validated for battery monitoring and motor inverter gate drive isolation. |
| Reinforced insulation certification | UL 1577 (3000 VRMS), VDE 0884-17 (VIORM = 565 VPEAK) - satisfies safety requirements for mains-connected industrial equipment. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8620ED-B-IS | Capacitive isolation; 5000 VRMS rating; 150 Mbps max; no default-output state specification. | Higher isolation voltage but lacks guaranteed default-high behavior on power loss. | Prefer ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 where fail-safe high-state assertion is required for safety interlocks. |
| ISO7721DWR | Capacitive isolation; 5000 VRMS; 100 Mbps; default-low output; lower quiescent current (1.4 mA @ 3.3 V). | Not suitable for applications requiring default-high outputs; requires external pull-up for fail-safe behavior. | Select ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 when default-high logic and AEC-Q100 qualification are mandatory. |
Compared with SI8620ED-B-IS and ISO7721DWR, the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 uniquely combines guaranteed default-high output, AEC-Q100 qualification, and VDE 0884-17 reinforced insulation - making it optimal for automotive battery management and industrial safety-critical isolation.

FAQ
What is the default output state of the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7?
The ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 has a default-high output state: when VDD1 is unpowered or below UVLO threshold (2.65 V), both VOA and VOB assert logic high. This behavior is confirmed in Tables 22 and 24 of the Rev. E datasheet and ensures fail-safe operation in safety-critical interfaces such as emergency stop circuits. The ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 maintains this state until valid input transitions occur after VDD1 restoration.
Does the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 support level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains?
Yes, the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 supports bidirectional level translation: VDD1 may be 3.3 V while VDD2 is 5 V (or vice versa), with logic thresholds (VIH/VIL) scaling to each side's supply. Table 7 and Table 10 confirm full 100 Mbps operation in mixed-supply modes. The ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 achieves this without external components, enabling direct interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripherals like RS-485 transceivers.
What safety certifications does the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 hold?
The ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 is certified to UL 1577 (3000 VRMS, 1 min), DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17, VIORM = 565 VPEAK), IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1, and IEC/CSA 61010-1. These approvals are explicitly listed in Table 14 and Table 16 of the datasheet. The ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 is rated for reinforced insulation and meets pollution degree 2 requirements with 4.0 mm creepage/clearance - validated for industrial and automotive end-equipment.
How does the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 handle power loss on one side?
When VDD1 is lost, the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 outputs (VOA/VOB) remain high for up to 1.6 µs before settling into their default-high state - per Table 22 and the "DC Correctness" section. When VDD2 is lost, outputs become indeterminate but recover within 1.6 µs of restoration. This behavior is enabled by the patented refresh circuit and is intrinsic to the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7's architecture - no external components are needed to maintain dc correctness.
Is the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 pin-compatible with other members of the ADuM128x family?
No - the ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 uses the ADuM1280/ADuM1285 pinout (VIA/VIB on pins 2/3, VOA/VOB on pins 7/6), whereas ADuM1281/ADuM1286 swap input/output positions (VIA on pin 7, VOA on pin 2). This difference is documented in Figures 4 and 5 and Tables 20–21. Substituting ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 for ADUM1281BRZ-RL7 without PCB revision will cause functional failure. The ADUM1280BRZ-RL7 is not a drop-in replacement for any other variant in the family.
