Product details
Overview
ADUM1280WBRZ from Analog Devices is a 3 kVRMS dual-channel digital isolator with iCoupler® technology, providing bidirectional signal isolation between two independent voltage domains. It supports up to 100 Mbps NRZ data rate, features 23 ns typical propagation delay, 3.3 V to 5 V level translation, and default-high output logic state. 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 ADUM1280WBRZ datasheet, ADUM1280WBRZ pinout, ADUM1280WBRZ application, or ADUM1280WBRZ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for automotive and industrial isolation design.
Technical Context
The ADUM1280WBRZ 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-side power loss or static input conditions.
It operates across −40°C to +125°C with supply voltages from 3.135 V to 5.5 V on either side, supporting mixed-voltage operation (e.g., 5 V input / 3.3 V output). Channel-to-channel matching is ≤5 ns (codirectional), and pulse width distortion is ≤2 ns at 100 Mbps.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8620ED-B-IS | Capacitive isolation; 5000 VRMS rating; 150 Mbps max data rate; default-low output | Higher isolation voltage but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; no default-high option | Select for higher voltage margin in non-automotive industrial systems requiring faster data rates |

FAQ
What is the default output state of the ADUM1280WBRZ?
The ADUM1280WBRZ has a default-high output state on both channels (VOA and VOB) when input-side power (VDD1) is absent or during static input conditions. This behavior is maintained by its patented internal refresh circuit and ensures fail-safe logic assertion in safety-critical applications such as battery monitoring and motor control.
Does the ADUM1280WBRZ support level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains?
Yes, the ADUM1280WBRZ supports bidirectional level translation: it accepts 3.135 V–5.5 V on VDD1 and independently 3.135 V–5.5 V on VDD2. This allows direct interfacing between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V peripherals without external level shifters, as confirmed in mixed-voltage operation specifications (Tables 7 and 10).
Is the ADUM1280WBRZ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the ADUM1280WBRZ is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It meets Grade 1 temperature requirements (−40°C to +125°C) and is certified to safety standards including IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1 and DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), making it suitable for use in hybrid electric vehicle battery monitors and motor drives.
What is the maximum common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of the ADUM1280WBRZ?
The ADUM1280WBRZ delivers >25 kV/µs typical common-mode transient immunity, with a maximum of 35 kV/µs under test conditions (VCM = 1000 V, transient magnitude = 800 V). This performance is critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-noise environments like motor inverters and industrial power supplies.
How does the ADUM1280WBRZ ensure DC correctness during static input conditions?
The ADUM1280WBRZ uses a patented refresh circuit that periodically samples and retransmits the last valid input state across the isolation barrier. This ensures dc-correct output behavior even when input signals remain static for extended periods or when VDD1 is temporarily unpowered - a key advantage over optocouplers and basic capacitive isolators.
