Product details
Overview
ADUM1285WCRZ from Analog Devices is a 3 kVRMS dual-channel digital isolator based on iCoupler® transformer technology, providing bidirectional signal isolation with default-low output logic state. It supports up to 100 Mbps NRZ data rate, 23 ns typical propagation delay, and operates across 3.135 V–5.5 V supply ranges on both sides for level translation. It is used in high-noise industrial field bus interfaces requiring reinforced insulation and automotive battery monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM1285WCRZ datasheet, ADUM1285WCRZ pinout, ADUM1285WCRZ application, or ADUM1285WCRZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, safety-certified isolation parameters, channel-level timing behavior, and real-world design context for AEC-Q100-compliant automotive and industrial embedded systems.
Technical Context
The ADUM1285WCRZ 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, ensuring reliable default-low behavior when inputs are static or unpowered.
It supports mixed-voltage operation (e.g., 5 V side 1 / 3.3 V side 2), delivers >25 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity, and meets reinforced insulation requirements per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) with VIORM = 565 VPEAK and VISO = 3000 VRMS.
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 - ensures tight timing alignment in real-time control loops and motor drive feedback paths. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | >25 kV/μs - sustains signal integrity in noisy environments like inverters and battery management systems. |
| Isolation Rating | 3000 VRMS for 1 minute - certified for reinforced insulation per UL 1577 and IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1. |
| Default Output State | Low - prevents unintended activation of downstream logic or power stages during power-up or fault conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.135 V to 5.5 V per side - supports interoperability between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V analog/sensor domains. |
Pinout & Package
Narrow-body, RoHS-compliant 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC_N) with creepage and clearance ≥4.0 mm, rated for reinforced insulation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD1 | Input-side supply | Power domain for side 1 logic inputs; accepts 3.135–5.5 V; enables level translation from side 1 to side 2. |
| 2 - VIA | Input A | Primary logic input channel on side 1; drives isolated output VOA on side 2. |
| 3 - VIB | Input B | Secondary logic input channel on side 1; drives isolated output VOB on side 2. |
| 4 - GND1 | Input-side ground | Reference return for side 1; must be separated from GND2 to maintain galvanic isolation barrier. |
| 5 - GND2 | Output-side ground | Reference return for side 2; electrically isolated from GND1; defines output logic thresholds. |
| 6 - VOB | Output B | Isolated replica of VIB; default-low state ensures safe deactivation if side 1 loses power. |
| 7 - VOA | Output A | Isolated replica of VIA; synchronized with VOB within 2 ns pulse width distortion at 100 Mbps. |
| 8 - VDD2 | Output-side supply | Power domain for side 2 outputs; independent of VDD1; supports asymmetric voltage operation. |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8621ED-B-IS | Capacitive isolation; 5000 VRMS rating; 150 Mbps max; default-high output. | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; higher CMTI (75 kV/μs) but no default-low safety state. | Prefer for non-automotive high-speed industrial comms where default-high is acceptable. |
| ISO7721DWR | Capacitive isolation; 5000 VRMS; 100 Mbps; default-low output; 125°C rating. | No VDE 0884-17 certification; only UL/IEC 62368-1; lower CMTI (42 kV/μs). | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial designs where full VDE compliance is not mandated. |
Compared with SI8621ED-B-IS and ISO7721DWR, the ADUM1285WCRZ uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, VDE 0884-17 reinforced insulation, and guaranteed default-low output - making it the only drop-in option for automotive BMS and ISO 26262 ASIL-B signal isolation.

FAQ
What is the default output state of the ADUM1285WCRZ?
The ADUM1285WCRZ has a default-low output state on both channels (VOA and VOB) when input power is absent or inputs are static. This behavior is intrinsic to the device architecture and ensures fail-safe operation in safety-critical circuits such as battery disconnect controls. The ADUM1285WCRZ maintains this state until valid logic transitions are applied to VIA or VIB, or until side 1 supply is restored.
Does the ADUM1285WCRZ support mixed-voltage operation?
Yes, the ADUM1285WCRZ supports true mixed-voltage operation: side 1 (VDD1) and side 2 (VDD2) can operate independently at 3.135 V–5.5 V, enabling level translation between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V sensor or actuator domains. This capability is validated across all operating temperatures and data rates up to 100 Mbps, as confirmed in Tables 7 and 10 of the Rev. E datasheet.
What safety certifications does the ADUM1285WCRZ hold?
The ADUM1285WCRZ 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 with VIORM = 565 VPEAK. These approvals are explicitly listed in Table 14 and Table 16 of the datasheet, and the "W" grade suffix denotes automotive qualification per AEC-Q100.
How does the ADUM1285WCRZ handle power-loss scenarios on one side?
When VDD1 is unpowered, the ADUM1285WCRZ outputs (VOA, VOB) default to low and remain stable; when VDD2 is unpowered, outputs become indeterminate but recover within 1.6 µs after VDD2 restoration. This behavior is documented in Table 24 (ADUM1285 Truth Table) and ensures predictable failure modes in partial-power-loss conditions common in automotive and industrial systems.
What is the maximum common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of the ADUM1285WCRZ?
The ADUM1285WCRZ guarantees >25 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity, tested per IEC 61000-4-4 with 1000 V common-mode voltage and 800 V transient magnitude. This value is specified across all grades (A/WA to C/WC) and operating voltages (3.3 V, 5 V, and mixed), and is critical for reliable operation in motor drives and inverters where fast dv/dt noise is present.
