Product details
Overview
ADUM1311BRWZ-RL from Analog Devices is a triple-channel digital isolator based on iCoupler® transformer technology, providing galvanic isolation between microcontroller SPI buses and high-noise industrial sensor interfaces. It supports 10 Mbps NRZ data rate, operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V on both sides, features programmable default output states, and delivers >25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity. Used in isolated data acquisition systems where signal integrity and safety compliance are critical.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM1311BRWZ-RL datasheet, ADUM1311BRWZ-RL pinout, ADUM1311BRWZ-RL application, or ADUM1311BRWZ-RL equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, SOIC-16W package mapping, functional alternatives with documented differences, and supply support for industrial embedded programs requiring long-term component continuity.
Technical Context
The ADUM1311BRWZ-RL implements three unidirectional isolation channels with inputs on Side 1 (VDD1) and outputs on Side 2 (VDD2), enabling asymmetric voltage translation (e.g., 3.3 V MCU ↔ 5 V peripheral). Its monolithic air-core transformer architecture eliminates LED aging and CTR drift, while patented refresh circuitry ensures DC correctness during power-up and idle periods without input transitions.
It supports mixed-supply operation (3 V/5 V or 5 V/3 V), features Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity, and includes dedicated CTRL1/CTRL2 pins to configure default output state and disable behavior. Propagation delay skew is ≤30 ns, pulse width distortion is ≤5 ns, and channel-to-channel matching is ≤6 ns for opposing-directional pairs - critical for timing-sensitive SPI clock/data alignment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Data Rate | 10 Mbps NRZ - enables full-speed SPI communication up to 10 MHz clock with guaranteed pulse fidelity. |
| Propagation Delay | 20–50 ns - ensures tight timing margins for synchronous protocols like SPI and RS-485 control lines. |
| Pulse Width Distortion | ≤5 ns - preserves duty cycle integrity for clock signals and avoids setup/hold violations. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | >25 kV/µs - maintains logic state integrity in motor drive or power supply noise environments. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V per side - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V legacy peripherals. |
| Default Output Control | Programmable via CTRL2 pin - prevents undefined states during VDD1 power loss in safety-critical I/O modules. |
| Isolation Rating | 2500 Vrms for 1 min (UL 1577), VIORM = 560 Vpeak - certified for reinforced insulation in industrial equipment. |
Pinout & Package
ADUM1311BRWZ-RL uses a 16-lead, RoHS-compliant, wide-body SOIC package (SOIC_W) with 8.1 mm creepage distance and reinforced insulation barrier. Pin 1–8 form the input-side (Side 1) terminal group; Pin 9–16 form the output-side (Side 2) terminal group.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Input-side supply | Power for input logic and internal transmitter; accepts 2.7–5.5 V; decoupling required near Pin 1. |
| GND1 | Input-side ground | Reference for all Side 1 signals; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier. |
| INA, INB, INC | Digital input channels | CMOS/Schmitt-trigger inputs accepting 3 V or 5 V logic; no external pull-ups needed. |
| CTRL1, CTRL2 | Configuration control | CTRL1 sets default output polarity; CTRL2 selects active-high/low disable mode for fail-safe shutdown. |
| DISABLE | Output enable/disable | Active-high pin forcing outputs to programmed default state when asserted - used for system-level fault response. |
| VDD2 | Output-side supply | Power for output drivers and receiver; independent of VDD1; enables level translation. |
| GND2 | Output-side ground | Reference for all Side 2 outputs; forms isolated domain with VDD2; no electrical connection to GND1. |
| OUTA, OUTB, OUTC | Digital output channels | CMOS-compatible outputs driving 4 mA sink/source; logic levels track VDD2 (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| iCoupler® transformer isolation | Eliminates optocoupler CTR degradation and lifetime uncertainty; stable performance over 105°C and 50+ years MTTF. |
| Programmable default outputs | CTRL2 pin configures outputs to high/low state during VDD1 loss - essential for safe PLC I/O module shutdown. |
| 10 Mbps high-speed operation | Supports full-duplex SPI at ≥8 MHz SCLK with sub-50 ns propagation matching across all three channels. |
| 3 V/5 V level translation | Enables direct interface between 3.3 V ARM Cortex-M MCUs and 5 V industrial transceivers without external level shifters. |
| High CMTI (>25 kV/µs) | Maintains signal integrity in variable-frequency drives and switch-mode power supplies where fast dV/dt couples across barriers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8631BB-B-IS | Capacitive isolation; 10 Mbps; 3.75 kVrms rating; different pinout (SOIC-16 narrow); no programmable default output. | Lacks CTRL2-based fail-safe default state control; requires external pull resistors for undefined states. | Choose SI8631BB-B-IS only if board layout accommodates narrower SOIC and safety logic is handled externally. |
| ISO6731FDWR | Capacitive isolation; 10 Mbps; 5000 Vrms rating; SOIC-16W package; supports 1.8–5.5 V supplies; no refresh circuitry. | No patented refresh feature - may lose DC correctness during extended idle periods without input toggling. | Select ISO6731FDWR when higher isolation voltage (5 kVrms) is mandatory and DC stability during static conditions is not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by ADUM1311BRWZ-RL?
The ADUM1311BRWZ-RL supports a maximum data rate of 10 Mbps in NRZ format, validated under load conditions (CL = 15 pF, CMOS signal levels). This rating applies specifically to the BRWZ speed grade and is guaranteed with ≤5 ns pulse width distortion - enabling reliable SPI and digital control bus operation at up to 8 MHz clock frequencies.
Does ADUM1311BRWZ-RL support level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains?
Yes, ADUM1311BRWZ-RL supports true bidirectional level translation: VDD1 can operate from 2.7 V to 5.5 V independently of VDD2, which also ranges from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. This allows direct interfacing between a 3.3 V microcontroller (VDD1) and a 5 V RS-485 transceiver (VDD2), with output logic levels referenced strictly to VDD2.
How does the refresh feature in ADUM1311BRWZ-RL improve reliability?
The patented refresh feature in ADUM1311BRWZ-RL continuously monitors and retransmits DC logic states across the isolation barrier, ensuring output correctness even during prolonged absence of input transitions or during power-up/power-down sequences. This eliminates output metastability issues found in competing isolators without refresh circuitry.
What safety certifications apply to ADUM1311BRWZ-RL?
ADUM1311BRWZ-RL is certified to UL 1577 (2500 Vrms for 1 minute), DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1, EN 60950-1, IEC/CSA 60601-1, and IEC/CSA 61010-1. Its VIORM rating is 560 Vpeak, supporting reinforced insulation in medical and industrial end-equipment.
Can ADUM1311BRWZ-RL replace optocouplers in existing designs without layout changes?
ADUM1311BRWZ-RL uses a standard 16-lead SOIC wide-body footprint (7.5 mm body width, 10.3 mm length) identical to industry-standard optocoupler packages. Pin compatibility is maintained for power (VDD1/GND1/VDD2/GND2) and signal (INx/OUTx) functions, though CTRL1/CTRL2/DISABLE pins require review for legacy optocoupler drop-in use - they enable advanced fail-safe features not present in optos.
