Product details
Overview
ADUM1285WARZ from Analog Devices is a 3 kVRMS dual-channel digital isolator with default-low output logic, 100 Mbps data rate, 23 ns typical propagation delay, and 3.135 V to 5.5 V dual-supply operation. It enables bidirectional signal isolation in high-noise industrial field buses and battery monitoring systems where level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains is required.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM1285WARZ datasheet, ADUM1285WARZ pinout, ADUM1285WARZ application, or ADUM1285WARZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 pin mapping, automotive-grade safety certifications (AEC-Q100, VDE 0884-17), and real-world use context for isolated data converter interfaces and motor drive control loops.
Technical Context
The ADUM1285WARZ implements iCoupler® monolithic air-core transformer technology for galvanic isolation, eliminating LED degradation and timing drift inherent in optocouplers. Its patented refresh circuit ensures DC-correct output states during input inactivity or power sequencing events.
It supports asymmetric supply configurations (e.g., 5 V on side 1, 3.3 V on side 2) with guaranteed logic thresholds (VIH = 0.7×VDDx, VIL = 0.3×VDDx) and maintains >25 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity across the full −40°C to +125°C operating range.

Pinout & Package
Narrow-body RoHS-compliant 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC_W, 5.3 mm width), creepage/clearance ≥4.0 mm, reinforced insulation per DIN EN IEC 60747-17.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD1 | Input-side power supply | Accepts 3.135–5.5 V; powers channel A/B inputs and internal refresh logic on side 1. |
| 2 - VIA | Input A | Logic input for isolated channel A; referenced to VDD1/GND1; default-low output maps to this pin's state. |
| 3 - VIB | Input B | Logic input for isolated channel B; independent of VIA; supports asynchronous dual-channel operation. |

FAQ
What is the default output state of the ADUM1285WARZ?
The ADUM1285WARZ has a default-low output state: when VDD1 is unpowered or absent, both VOA and VOB outputs settle to logic low within 1.6 µs. This fail-safe behavior ensures downstream circuits remain disabled during power sequencing or input-side faults, which is essential in motor control and battery disconnect applications. The ADUM1285WARZ differs from ADUM1280/ADUM1281 (default-high) in this key safety attribute.
Does the ADUM1285WARZ support mixed-voltage operation?
Yes, the ADUM1285WARZ supports true mixed-voltage operation: VDD1 and VDD2 may be independently set to 3.135–5.5 V, enabling 3.3 V ↔ 5 V level translation across the isolation barrier without external components. For example, with VDD1 = 5 V and VDD2 = 3.3 V, the ADUM1285WARZ accepts 5 V logic inputs and delivers 3.3 V compatible outputs while maintaining full 100 Mbps data rate and 23 ns propagation delay.
What safety certifications does the ADUM1285WARZ hold?
The ADUM1285WARZ holds UL 1577 (3000 VRMS), IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 61010-1, and DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) certifications. It is rated for reinforced insulation with VIORM = 565 VPEAK and VIOWM = 400 VRMS, and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C). These approvals are production-tested per VDE 0884-17 with partial discharge <5 pC at 1059 VPEAK.
How does the ADUM1285WARZ maintain DC correctness without input transitions?
The ADUM1285WARZ uses a patented internal refresh circuit that periodically samples and retransmits the last valid input state across the isolation barrier - ensuring DC-correct outputs even during extended periods of static input (e.g., idle SPI bus or steady enable signal). This refresh occurs every 1.6 µs and requires no external clock or configuration, distinguishing the ADUM1285WARZ from optocouplers and basic capacitive isolators that drift or timeout.
What is the maximum common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of the ADUM1285WARZ?
The ADUM1285WARZ guarantees >25 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) under all operating conditions (−40°C to +125°C, 3.135–5.5 V supplies), with typical performance reaching 35 kV/μs. This specification is measured with VCM = 1000 V and 800 V transient magnitude, and ensures robust operation in high-dV/dt environments such as IGBT gate driver circuits and switch-mode power supply feedback paths - a key reliability factor confirmed in the ADUM1285WARZ datasheet Rev. E.
