Product details
Overview
ADUM1280CRZ from Analog Devices is a 3 kVRMS dual-channel digital isolator based on iCoupler® transformer technology, providing bidirectional signal isolation with default-high output logic state. It supports up to 100 Mbps NRZ data rate, exhibits 23 ns typical propagation delay, and operates across 3.135 V–5.5 V supply rails on both sides for level translation-used in industrial field bus interfaces and battery monitor systems requiring reinforced insulation.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM1280CRZ datasheet, ADUM1280CRZ pinout, ADUM1280CRZ application, or ADUM1280CRZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3000 VRMS isolation rating, 25 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity, C-grade timing performance (≤2 ns pulse width distortion), and narrow-body SOIC-8 package with reinforced insulation per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17).
Technical Context
The ADUM1280CRZ 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 optocoupler-style signal decay.
It supports mixed-voltage operation (e.g., 5 V side 1 / 3.3 V side 2), delivers ≤2 ns pulse width distortion at C grade, and achieves tight channel-to-channel matching of 2 ns codirectional skew-critical for time-sensitive serial interfaces like SPI and isolated ADC control.

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. | Lacks default-high behavior-requires external pull-up for fail-safe startup; higher CMTI (35 kV/μs) but no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Prefer for ultra-high-noise environments where CMTI >30 kV/μs is mandatory and default state is managed externally. |
| ISO7721D | Capacitive isolation; 5000 VRMS; 100 Mbps; default-low output; no AEC-Q100. | Default-low contradicts ADUM1280CRZ's fail-safe high assertion; lower propagation delay (11 ns) but reduced temperature range (−40°C to +105°C). | Select only if system requires lowest possible latency and default-low assertion aligns with safety architecture. |
Compared with SI8620ED-B-IS and ISO7721D, ADUM1280CRZ provides guaranteed default-high output for safety-critical startup, AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use, and tighter channel matching (2 ns vs. ≥3 ns), making it optimal for motor control and battery monitoring where deterministic initial state and timing coherence are essential.

FAQ
What is the default output state of ADUM1280CRZ?
The ADUM1280CRZ features a default-high output state: when VDD1 is unpowered or absent, both VOA and VOB assert logic high. This behavior is confirmed in the truth tables for ADUM1280 and ADUM1285 in the datasheet and supports fail-safe operation in safety-critical systems such as motor enable circuits. The ADUM1280CRZ maintains this default state until valid input transitions occur after VDD1 power restoration.
Does ADUM1280CRZ support level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains?
Yes, ADUM1280CRZ supports true bidirectional level translation: VDD1 may operate from 3.135 V to 5.5 V independently of VDD2, which also ranges from 3.135 V to 5.5 V. Mixed-supply configurations-including 5 V on side 1 with 3.3 V on side 2-are fully characterized in Tables 7 and 10 of the datasheet, with verified timing and drive strength across all combinations. This enables direct interfacing between legacy 5 V controllers and modern 3.3 V peripherals without external level shifters.
What safety certifications does ADUM1280CRZ hold?
ADUM1280CRZ is certified to UL 1577 (3000 VRMS, 1 min), IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 61010-1, and DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) for reinforced insulation. Its VIORM = 565 VPEAK and working voltage rating of 400 VRMS meet requirements for basic and reinforced insulation in industrial and automotive applications. The "*" marking on the package denotes VDE 0884-17 compliance.
How does ADUM1280CRZ maintain dc correctness without input toggling?
ADUM1280CRZ uses a patented internal refresh circuit that periodically samples and retransmits the last valid input state across the isolation barrier-even when inputs remain static. This ensures outputs retain correct logic levels indefinitely, unlike optocouplers that drift or require minimum data rates. The refresh period is fixed at 1.6 µs, as specified in Table 3, Table 6, Table 9, and Table 12 of the datasheet.
Is ADUM1280CRZ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, ADUM1280CRZ is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (Grade 1: −40°C to +125°C). This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD-ensuring reliability in under-hood and battery management systems. The datasheet explicitly lists "AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications" in the FEATURES section and confirms operating temperature compliance in Table 17.
