Product details
Overview
ADuM2281CRIZ from Analog Devices is a 5 kVRMS dual-channel digital isolator based on iCoupler® transformer technology, providing bidirectional signal isolation between two galvanically separated domains. It supports up to 100 Mbps data rate, features 24 ns maximum propagation delay, 3 V to 5.5 V supply compatibility per side, and default-high output logic state - enabling robust RS-485 transceiver isolation in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the ADuM2281CRIZ datasheet, ADuM2281CRIZ pinout, ADuM2281CRIZ application, or ADuM2281CRIZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, safety-certified insulation parameters, channel-level truth table behavior, and design-critical thermal and transient immunity data for high-reliability embedded isolation.
Technical Context
The ADuM2281CRIZ implements monolithic air-core transformer coupling with integrated refresh circuitry to maintain DC correctness during input inactivity - a key differentiator from optocouplers. Its dual-channel architecture supports independent signal paths with tight channel-to-channel matching (≤5 ns skew) and low pulse width distortion (≤2 ns).
It operates across mixed-voltage configurations (e.g., 5 V side 1 / 3 V side 2), enabling level translation without external components. Safety compliance includes reinforced insulation per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), UL 1577 (5000 VRMS), and IEC 60601-1 (2 MOPP), supporting medical and industrial system certification.

Pinout & Package
ADuM2281CRIZ uses a 16-lead SOIC wide-body package with enhanced creepage (8.7 mm) and clearance, optimized for reinforced insulation in high-voltage applications. Pin 1–8 form Side 1 (input side), Pin 9–16 form Side 2 (output side), with internal ground separation and no internal connection on NC pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7, GND1 | Input-side ground reference | Provides low-impedance return path for Side 1 logic; must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3, VDD1 | Input-side supply | Accepts 3.0–5.5 V; powers input receivers and internal refresh logic; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor. |
| 4, VOA | Output A (Side 2) | Isolated logic output driven by input A; default-high behavior ensures safe state during power loss. |
| 5, VIB | Input B (Side 1) | CMOS-compatible input accepting 0.3×VDD1 to 0.7×VDD1 thresholds; supports 3 V/5 V logic families. |
| 12, VOB | Output B (Side 2) | Independent isolated output synchronized to input B; matches VOA timing within ≤5 ns skew. |
| 13, VIA | Input A (Side 1) | Primary input channel; drives VOA with sub-24 ns delay; shares same default-high recovery as VOB. |
| 14, VDD2 | Output-side supply | Independent 3.0–5.5 V rail; enables level translation (e.g., 5 V MCU → 3.3 V FPGA) across barrier. |
| 9, 16, GND2 | Output-side ground reference | Galvanically isolated return for Side 2; must not be connected to GND1 on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented refresh circuitry | Maintains DC-correct output state indefinitely without input toggling - critical for watchdog or enable signals. |
| Reinforced insulation rating | VIORM = 645 VPEAK per VDE 0884-17; eliminates need for external creepage barriers in medical 2-MOPP designs. |
| Bidirectional channel independence | Each channel operates autonomously; no shared timing or reset dependencies between A and B paths. |
| Low dynamic power consumption | 0.09 mA/Mbps (input), 0.04 mA/Mbps (output); reduces thermal load in dense isolation layouts. |
| High temperature reliability | Specified up to +125°C ambient; validated for 10-year insulation lifetime at 125°C per IEC 60747-17. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADuM2201ARWZ | Lower isolation rating (2.5 kVRMS), slower max data rate (10 Mbps), no refresh circuitry. | Suitable only for non-safety-critical, low-speed digital isolation (e.g., sensor interface). | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs safety certification needs and speed requirements are ≤10 Mbps. |
| SI8621ED-IS | Capacitive isolation, 5 kVRMS rating, 100 Mbps, but default-low output and no VDE 0884-17 certification. | Lacks reinforced insulation validation for medical 2-MOPP; requires external filtering for EMI-sensitive environments. | Prefer for high-volume consumer applications where UL-only approval suffices and default-low logic aligns with system architecture. |
Compared with ADuM2281CRIZ, ADuM2201ARWZ sacrifices isolation robustness and DC correctness for lower cost, while SI8621ED-IS trades VDE-certified reinforced insulation and default-high safety for capacitive-isolator integration density - making ADuM2281CRIZ uniquely suited for certified industrial and medical isolation where both performance and regulatory compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the default output state of ADuM2281CRIZ during power-up or input-side undervoltage?
ADuM2281CRIZ has a default-high output configuration: when VDD1 is unpowered or below UVLO threshold (2.4 V), both VOA and VOB assert logic high after a maximum 1.6 µs refresh period. This behavior is confirmed in Table 23 (ADuM2281 Truth Table) and ensures fail-safe operation in control-enable or reset circuits. The ADuM2281CRIZ maintains this state until valid input transitions occur or VDD1 stabilizes above 2.6 V.
Does ADuM2281CRIZ support mixed-voltage operation, and what are the valid combinations?
Yes, ADuM2281CRIZ supports mixed-voltage operation across its isolation barrier: VDD1 and VDD2 may each independently operate from 3.0 V to 5.5 V. Valid combinations include 5 V/3.3 V, 3.3 V/5 V, 5 V/5 V, and 3.3 V/3.3 V - all specified in Tables 7–12 of the datasheet. This enables seamless level translation between legacy 5 V controllers and modern 3.3 V FPGAs without external level shifters, and the ADuM2281CRIZ maintains full 100 Mbps data rate and timing specs across all combinations.
What safety certifications does ADuM2281CRIZ hold, and which standards do they cover?
ADuM2281CRIZ is certified to UL 1577 (5000 VRMS), IEC/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 61010-1, IEC/CSA 60601-1 (2 MOPP), CQC GB 4943.1, and DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) for reinforced insulation. These approvals validate its use in medical equipment (IEC 60601-1), test & measurement (IEC 61010-1), and industrial power systems (IEC 62368-1). The ADuM2281CRIZ achieves VIORM = 645 VPEAK per VDE 0884-17, enabling compact PCB layouts meeting creepage/clearance requirements without additional barriers.
How does the refresh circuitry in ADuM2281CRIZ ensure DC correctness without input toggling?
The ADuM2281CRIZ incorporates patented refresh circuitry that periodically samples and retransmits the last valid input state across the isolation barrier - even when inputs are static. With a maximum refresh period of 1.6 µs (Table 4, 6, 9, 12), it guarantees continuous DC output fidelity without requiring external clocking or input activity. This feature distinguishes ADuM2281CRIZ from optocouplers and basic capacitive isolators, and is essential for maintaining safe states in enable, fault, or watchdog signals where input transitions may be infrequent or absent.
What is the maximum common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) specification for ADuM2281CRIZ, and how is it measured?
ADuM2281CRIZ specifies >25 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI), tested per Table 3/4/6/9/12 with VCM = 1000 V, transient magnitude = 800 V, and VIx = VDDx. This value represents the maximum slew rate the isolation barrier can sustain while maintaining VO > 0.8×VDDx - ensuring reliable operation in high-noise environments like motor drives and switch-mode power supplies. The ADuM2281CRIZ achieves this via monolithic transformer coupling and proprietary noise rejection circuitry, outperforming typical optocouplers (<15 kV/μs) and many competing digital isolators.
