Product details
Overview
ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 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-enabling 3.3 V/5 V level translation. It is used in industrial field bus interfaces where high common-mode transient immunity (>25 kV/µs) and AEC-Q100 qualification are required.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 datasheet, ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 pinout, ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 application, or ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including propagation delay skew (≤12 ns), refresh period (1.6 µs), VIORM (565 VPEAK), safety certifications (UL 1577, VDE 0884-17), and SOIC-8 narrow-body package compatibility for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 implements two independent galvanic isolation channels using monolithic air-core transformers, eliminating LED aging and timing drift inherent in optocouplers. Its patented refresh circuit ensures DC-correct output states even during static input conditions or power-up sequencing.
It supports mixed-voltage operation (e.g., 5 V side 1 / 3.3 V side 2), with logic thresholds referenced to respective VDDx rails (VIH = 0.7×VDDx, VIL = 0.3×VDDx) and output drive capability of ±3.2 mA at VOH/VOL limits. Undervoltage lockout (2.75 V threshold) prevents erratic behavior during brownout conditions.
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 oversampling. |
| Propagation Delay | 23 ns typical - supports tight-timing control loops in motor drives and real-time industrial PLCs. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | >25 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in noisy environments like variable-frequency drives and battery monitoring systems. |
| Isolation Rating | 3000 VRMS for 1 minute - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and IEC 62368-1. |
| VIORM | 565 VPEAK - defines maximum continuous working voltage under reinforced insulation per VDE 0884-17. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive and industrial ambient conditions without derating. |
| Supply Range | 3.135 V to 5.5 V per side - allows flexible system-level voltage translation (e.g., MCU-side 3.3 V ↔ sensor-side 5 V). |
Pinout & Package
Narrow-body, RoHS-compliant 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC_N-8), 5.3 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 1.75 mm height, creepage/clearance ≥4.0 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD1 | Input-side power supply | Supplies isolator side 1 (inputs VIA/VIB); must be decoupled locally; UVLO triggers below 2.65 V. |
| 2 - VIA | Input A | Logic input channel A on side 1; accepts CMOS levels referenced to VDD1. |
| 3 - VIB | Input B | Logic input channel B on side 1; independent of VIA; supports asynchronous dual-channel signaling. |
| 4 - GND1 | Input-side ground | Reference return for VDD1, VIA, and VIB; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier. |
| 5 - GND2 | Output-side ground | Reference return for VDD2, VOA, and VOB; forms isolated domain with side 2 components. |
| 6 - VOB | Output B | Default-high logic output channel B on side 2; driven by VIB input with 23 ns typical delay. |
| 7 - VOA | Output A | Default-high logic output channel A on side 2; driven by VIA input; matches VOB within ≤5 ns channel-to-channel skew. |
| 8 - VDD2 | Output-side power supply | Supplies isolator side 2 (outputs VOA/VOB); enables level-shifting when VDD2 ≠ VDD1. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented refresh circuit | Maintains DC-correct output state indefinitely during static input or power-loss events on either side. |
| Default-high output logic | Ensures fail-safe high-level outputs (VOA/VOB = H) when side 1 is unpowered - critical for safety interlocks. |
| High CMTI immunity | Withstands >25 kV/µs transients - eliminates false triggering in gate-drive or current-sense feedback paths. |
| Reinforced insulation certification | UL 1577 (3000 VRMS), VDE 0884-17 (565 VPEAK), IEC 62368-1 - enables single-component isolation in safety-critical systems. |

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-high output configuration. | Lacks built-in refresh circuit; requires external pull-up for fail-safe state; higher CMTI (75 kV/µs) but narrower temp range (−40°C to +105°C). | Prefer when higher isolation voltage or CMTI is needed and default-high behavior can be implemented externally. |
| ISO7721DWR | Capacitive isolation; 5000 VRMS; 100 Mbps; default-low output only; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Lower VIORM (800 VPEAK); lacks automotive qualification; requires separate biasing for fail-safe behavior. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial applications where AEC-Q100 and default-high logic are not required. |
Compared with SI8620ED-B-IS and ISO7721DWR, ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 uniquely combines default-high output, integrated refresh, AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, and 125°C operation-making it optimal for automotive BMS and industrial safety-critical designs requiring guaranteed fail-safe behavior without external components.

FAQ
What is the default output state of ADUM1280WARZ-RL7?
The ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 features a default-high output configuration: when power is applied only to side 2 (VDD2), both VOA and VOB output logic high. This behavior is confirmed in the ADuM1280 truth table (Table 22) and supports fail-safe system design in safety-critical applications such as battery monitors and industrial controllers.
Does ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 support level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains?
Yes, ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 supports mixed-supply operation: VDD1 and VDD2 may be independently set to 3.135 V–5.5 V, enabling true bidirectional level translation. For example, with VDD1 = 3.3 V and VDD2 = 5 V, inputs on side 1 reference 3.3 V logic levels while outputs on side 2 drive 5 V-compatible loads - verified in Tables 7 and 10 of the datasheet.
What safety certifications does ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 hold?
ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 is certified to UL 1577 (3000 VRMS, 1 min), DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) for reinforced insulation (VIORM = 565 VPEAK), IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1, and IEC/CSA 61010-1. These approvals are documented in Table 14 and Section "Regulatory Information" of the Rev. E datasheet.
How does the refresh feature of ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 ensure DC correctness?
The ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 incorporates a patented internal refresh circuit that periodically samples input states and updates outputs - even during static input conditions. With a maximum refresh period of 1.6 µs (Table 4, 6, 9, 12), it guarantees DC-correct output behavior without external watchdog circuitry, a key differentiator from optocouplers and basic capacitive isolators.
Is ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, ADUM1280WARZ-RL7 is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1: −40°C to +125°C ambient), explicitly stated in the "Features" and "Applications" sections of the datasheet. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and ESD - making it suitable for battery management systems and motor control units in hybrid electric vehicles.
