Product details
Overview
ADUM231D1BRWZ from Analog Devices is a triple-channel, 5.0 kVRMS reinforced digital isolator based on iCoupler® technology, designed for high-noise industrial and medical interfaces. It delivers 150 Mbps data rate, 13 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, and operates across 1.8 V to 5 V supply rails with level translation. It is used in SPI isolation for isolated ADCs and motor control gate drivers requiring robust common-mode transient immunity.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM231D1BRWZ datasheet, ADUM231D1BRWZ pinout, ADUM231D1BRWZ application, or ADUM231D1BRWZ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, fail-safe output behavior, safety certifications (UL 1577, VDE 0884-17), SOIC-16 package details, and real-world design context for high-reliability isolation.
Technical Context
The ADUM231D1BRWZ implements three independent unidirectional isolation channels using monolithic air-core transformers, enabling dc-correct operation without input transitions. Its architecture supports fail-safe high output state when input power is absent or inputs are disabled - a critical feature for safety-critical shutdown sequences.
It meets reinforced insulation requirements per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) with VIORM = 849 VPEAK, and achieves 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity under 1000 V common-mode step conditions. Channel matching is ≤3.0 ns, ensuring precise timing alignment in multi-signal systems like isolated SPI clock/data lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5.0 kVRMS for 1 minute - enables reinforced insulation in medical (IEC 60601-1) and industrial (IEC 62368-1) safety-critical systems |
| Data Rate | 150 Mbps maximum - supports high-speed serial interfaces including isolated SPI, RS-485 transceivers, and digital power controller feedback loops |
| Propagation Delay | 13 ns max at 5 V - ensures tight timing budgets in real-time control applications such as servo drives and inverters |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 100 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in noisy environments like motor drives and factory automation with fast-switching power electronics |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V per side - enables level translation between low-voltage microcontrollers (1.8 V/3.3 V) and higher-voltage peripherals (5 V) |
| Fail-Safe Output State | High - outputs default to logic high during input-side power loss, supporting safe default states in PLC I/O modules and emergency stop circuits |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and outdoor energy infrastructure deployments |
Pinout & Package
ADUM231D1BRWZ is housed in a 16-lead, RoHS-compliant, wide-body SOIC package (RW-16) with 8.3 mm creepage and clearance, optimized for reinforced insulation in high-voltage systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 | Input-side power and signals (VDD1, GND1, AIN, BIN, CIN, DISABLE1, VE2) | Pins 1–8 form the primary (input) side: VDD1 powers channel inputs; DISABLE1 enables input disable mode; VE2 controls output enable on secondary side |
| 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 | Output-side power and signals (VDD2, GND2, AOUT, BOUT, COUT, OE2) | Pins 9–16 form the isolated (output) side: VDD2 powers outputs; OE2 enables tristate control of all three output channels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced insulation certification | DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), UL 1577, IEC 60601-1 (2 MOPP) - eliminates need for external safety capacitors or creepage extenders in certified designs |
| DC-correct operation | Maintains output state without input toggling - prevents spurious resets or latch-up in static control signals like enable/disable lines |
| Channel matching | ≤3.0 ns codirectional skew - enables synchronous sampling across multiple isolated analog channels in isolated data acquisition systems |
| Low dynamic power | 0.01–0.02 mA/Mbps - reduces thermal load in densely packed isolated gate driver boards and compact power supplies |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | 1.5 V / 1.6 V thresholds with 0.1 V hysteresis - ensures clean power-on reset and prevents metastable operation during brownout conditions |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM231D0BRWZ | Fail-safe output state is low (not high); identical pinout, specs, and package | Preferred where system requires default-low assertion on power loss (e.g., active-low reset lines) | Select ADUM231D0BRWZ only if low-fail-safe behavior matches your safety architecture; otherwise ADUM231D1BRWZ is required. |
| SI8631BB-B-IS | 3-channel, 5 kVRMS, but uses capacitive isolation; VIORM = 600 VPEAK; no VDE 0884-17 certification | Lacks 2 MOPP rating for IEC 60601-1 medical use; suitable for industrial I/O where lower safety tier suffices | Choose SI8631BB-B-IS only for cost-sensitive industrial applications without medical or high-reliability safety mandates. |
Compared with ADUM231D0BRWZ and SI8631BB-B-IS, ADUM231D1BRWZ uniquely combines fail-safe high output, VDE 0884-17 certification, and 849 VPEAK VIORM - making it the only option for safety-critical medical and high-isolation industrial designs requiring guaranteed high-state defaults.

FAQ
What safety certifications does ADUM231D1BRWZ hold?
ADUM231D1BRWZ is certified to UL 1577 (5000 VRMS), DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) for reinforced insulation, IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 60601-1 (2 MOPP), and IEC/CSA 61010-1. These approvals validate its use in medical, industrial, and test equipment without additional external safety components.
Does ADUM231D1BRWZ support level translation between different supply voltages?
Yes, ADUM231D1BRWZ supports independent 1.8 V to 5.5 V supplies on each side, enabling seamless level translation - for example, isolating a 1.8 V FPGA I/O to a 5 V DAC interface. Input thresholds scale with VDDx (VIH = 0.7 × VDDx), ensuring reliable logic interpretation across voltage domains.
What is the fail-safe behavior of ADUM231D1BRWZ during input power loss?
ADUM231D1BRWZ is configured for fail-safe high output: when VDD1 is removed or DISABLE1 is asserted, all three output channels (AOUT, BOUT, COUT) transition to and hold logic high. This behavior is hardwired per the D1 variant and supports safe default states in motor control enable lines and medical alarm circuits.
Can ADUM231D1BRWZ be used in 150 Mbps SPI applications?
Yes, ADUM231D1BRWZ guarantees 150 Mbps data rate with <3 ns pulse width distortion and ≤13 ns propagation delay at 5 V. Its matched channel timing (≤3.0 ns skew) preserves SPI SCLK–MOSI–MISO phase relationships, making it suitable for high-resolution isolated ADCs and fast DAC interfaces.
What is the package type and creepage distance of ADUM231D1BRWZ?
ADUM231D1BRWZ uses a 16-lead RW-16 wide-body SOIC package with minimum creepage and clearance of 8.3 mm (per IEC 62368-1, pollution degree 2). This package meets reinforced insulation requirements for up to 600 VRMS working voltage and supports high-density PCB layouts without external spacing constraints.
