Product details
Overview
ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is a 6-channel, 3.0 kVRMS digital isolator based on iCoupler® transformer technology, providing reinforced isolation between microcontroller peripherals and industrial bus interfaces. It delivers 150 Mbps guaranteed data rate, 13 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, and operates across 1.7–5.5 V supply rails with level translation capability. It is used in isolated SPI communication for motor drives and PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 datasheet, ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 pinout, ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 application, or ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include common-mode transient immunity (100 kV/µs), fail-safe output state configuration (N1 = low-fail-safe), safety certifications (UL 1577, VDE 0884-17), and SOIC_N-16 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 implements six independent unidirectional isolation channels using monolithic air-core transformers, enabling dc-correct operation without input transitions. Its architecture ensures tight channel-to-channel propagation delay matching (≤4.0 ns) and low jitter (70 ps rms at 5 V), critical for synchronized multi-signal isolation in real-time control systems.
It supports dual-supply operation (VDD1/VDD2 = 1.7–5.5 V), allowing voltage translation across the isolation barrier-e.g., 1.8 V logic on one side and 3.3 V or 5 V on the other-while maintaining robust noise immunity via ≥75 kV/µs common-mode transient rejection under ±800 V transients.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, narrow-body 16-lead SOIC package (SOIC_N, body width 3.9 mm), with creepage/clearance ≥4.0 mm and internal clearance ≥29 µm to meet reinforced insulation standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Primary-side supply | Power for input-side logic and channel drivers; accepts 1.7–5.5 V |
| GND1 | Primary-side ground | Reference for all input signals and VDD1; must be separated from GND2 by ≥4.5 mm PCB clearance |
| INA, INB, INC, IND, INE, INF | Input signal terminals | Accept CMOS-level signals; VIH = 0.7×VDD1, VIL = 0.3×VDD1 |
| VDD2 | Secondary-side supply | Power for output-side logic; enables level translation when VDD2 ≠ VDD1 |
| GND2 | Secondary-side ground | Reference for all output signals and VDD2; galvanically isolated from GND1 |
| OUTA, OUTB, OUTC, OUTD, OUTE, OUTF | Output signal terminals | CMOS-compatible outputs; VOH ≥ VDD2 − 0.4 V @ 4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V @ 4 mA |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8660BB-B-IS | 6-channel, 5 kVRMS, capacitive isolation; 150 Mbps; 13 ns delay; 2.5–5.5 V operation | No fail-safe option; different UVLO thresholds (1.75 V); lacks IEC 60601-1 certification | Preferred where higher isolation voltage is needed but medical compliance is not required |
| ISO6760FRDWR | 6-channel, 5000 VRMS, capacitive isolation; 100 Mbps; 16 ns delay; 1.7–5.5 V operation | Lower data rate; no 1.8 V operation guarantee; only UL/VDE certified (no IEC 60601-1) | Selected for cost-sensitive industrial automation where 100 Mbps suffices and medical certification is unnecessary |
Compared with SI8660BB-B-IS and ISO6760FRDWR, ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 uniquely combines 1.8 V compatibility, N1 low-fail-safe behavior, and full IEC 60601-1 certification-making it the only choice for battery-powered medical devices requiring both ultra-low-voltage operation and patient safety compliance.

FAQ
What is the fail-safe output behavior of ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7?
The ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 is the N1 variant, meaning its outputs transition to a logic low state when the input-side power supply (VDD1) is removed or falls below UVLO threshold. This prevents undefined or high-impedance states in safety-critical control paths such as gate driver enables or emergency stop signals. The behavior is inherent to the device's internal design and requires no external pull-down resistors.
Does ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 support 1.8 V operation on both sides simultaneously?
Yes, ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 supports 1.8 V operation on both VDD1 and VDD2 sides, with guaranteed 150 Mbps data rate and 15 ns maximum propagation delay. Electrical characteristics-including VIH/VIL thresholds, VOH/VOL levels, and supply current-are fully specified down to 1.7 V, making it suitable for ultra-low-power microcontrollers and battery-operated sensors.
What safety certifications does ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 hold?
ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 is certified to UL 1577 (3000 VRMS), DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17, 565 VPEAK reinforced), IEC/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 60601-1 (1 MOPP), and IEC/CSA 61010-1. These approvals validate its use in medical, industrial, and test equipment where reinforced isolation and patient/operator safety are mandated.
How does ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 achieve dc correctness without input toggling?
ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 uses iCoupler® transformer-based isolation with on-chip refresh circuitry that periodically samples the input state and retransmits it across the barrier-even when the input is static. This eliminates the need for external refresh clocks or pulse-width modulation schemes required by optocouplers, ensuring deterministic output behavior during idle periods in control applications.
Can ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 be used for bidirectional SPI isolation?
No-ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 contains six unidirectional channels only. For full-duplex SPI isolation (MOSI, MISO, SCLK, CS), two ADUM160N1BRZ-RL7 devices are required: one for MOSI/SCLK/CS (VDD1 → VDD2 direction) and another for MISO (VDD2 → VDD1 direction). Alternatively, consider the ADUM161N1BRZ-RL7 (5:1 channel split) or discrete channel pairing for optimized routing.
