Product details
Overview
ADUM242E0BRIZ from Analog Devices is a quad-channel digital isolator based on iCoupler® technology, providing 5.0 kVrms reinforced insulation for high-noise industrial and medical systems. It delivers 150 Mbps guaranteed data rate, 13 ns max propagation delay at 5 V, and operates across 1.8 V to 5 V supply rails with fail-safe high output configuration. It is used in isolated SPI interfaces for motor drives and PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM242E0BRIZ datasheet, ADUM242E0BRIZ pinout, ADUM242E0BRIZ application, or ADUM242E0BRIZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.0 kVrms isolation rating, 100 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity, SOIC_W-16 package with 7.8 mm creepage, and compatibility with 1.8 V–5 V level translation across the barrier.
Technical Context
The ADUM242E0BRIZ implements four independent unidirectional channels using monolithic air-core transformer coupling, ensuring dc-correct output states without input transitions. Its architecture supports asymmetric voltage operation (e.g., 1.8 V on side 1, 5 V on side 2) and includes integrated undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 1.6 V threshold on both sides.
It features fail-safe high output behavior when input power is absent or disabled, and provides tight channel matching (≤3.0 ns codirectional skew) and low jitter (70 ps rms at 5 V). The device meets DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) for reinforced insulation at 849 Vpeak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5.0 kVrms for 1 minute - enables reinforced insulation per IEC 62368-1, IEC 60601-1, and IEC 61010-1 safety standards |
| Data Rate | 150 Mbps maximum guaranteed - supports high-speed SPI, RS-485, and digital fieldbus isolation without timing margin loss |
| Propagation Delay | 13 ns max at 5 V - ensures sub-15 ns timing budget for real-time control loops and fast ADC/DAC interfaces |
| Common-Mode Immunity | 100 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in high-di/dt environments like VFDs and switch-mode power supplies |
| Supply Range | 1.8 V to 5 V per side - enables direct interfacing between low-voltage microcontrollers and higher-voltage peripherals |
| Fail-Safe Output | High-state default on power loss - prevents undefined logic states in safety-critical enable/disable paths |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions |
Pinout & Package
ADUM242E0BRIZ is housed in a 16-lead RoHS-compliant SOIC_W (wide-body) package with 7.8 mm creepage and clearance, optimized for reinforced insulation in high-voltage applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Primary-side power supply | Supplies logic side 1 (inputs A–D); supports 1.8 V–5 V; UVLO active below 1.5 V |
| GND1 | Primary-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier |
| INA, INB, INC, IND | Digital input signals | CMOS-compatible inputs referenced to VDD1; VIH = 0.7×VDD1, VIL = 0.3×VDD1 |
| VDD2 | Secondary-side power supply | Supplies logic side 2 (outputs A–D); independent 1.8 V–5 V rail; UVLO active below 1.5 V |
| GND2 | Secondary-side ground reference | Return path for VDD2; galvanically isolated from GND1; defines output logic levels |
| OUTA, OUTB, OUTC, OUTD | Digital output signals | CMOS outputs referenced to VDD2; VOH ≥ VDD2 − 0.4 V @ 4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V @ 4 mA |
| DISABLE1 | Input-side disable control | Pull-down enabled; asserts when tied to VDD1, forcing all inputs to high-impedance state |
| VE2 | Output-enable control | Pull-up enabled; asserts when grounded, placing all outputs in high-impedance state |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM242E1BRIZ | Pin-compatible but with fail-safe low output state instead of high | Suitable for active-low enable paths (e.g., reset lines), not direct replacement where high-default is required | Select ADUM242E1BRIZ only when system logic requires low-state default on power loss |
| SI8642ED-B-IS | Capacitive isolation; 5.0 kVrms; 150 Mbps; SOIC-16; failsafe high; but 60 kV/µs CMTI (vs. 100 kV/µs) | Lower noise immunity limits use in high-di/dt motor drives; identical pinout enables drop-in evaluation | Choose SI8642ED-B-IS only if CMTI >80 kV/µs is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs noise robustness |
Compared with ADUM242E1BRIZ, ADUM242E0BRIZ ensures fail-safe high outputs critical for enabling circuits, while SI8642ED-B-IS offers lower CMTI and different isolation physics-making ADUM242E0BRIZ preferred for high-noise industrial motion control and medical isolation where reliability under fast transients is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed data rate for ADUM242E0BRIZ?
The ADUM242E0BRIZ guarantees a maximum data rate of 150 Mbps across all operating conditions (−40°C to +125°C, 1.8 V–5 V supplies). This is validated per datasheet Table 1–Table 4 switching specifications and applies to all four channels simultaneously with pulse width distortion maintained below 3 ns.
Does ADUM242E0BRIZ support level translation between different supply voltages?
Yes, ADUM242E0BRIZ supports true bidirectional level translation: VDD1 can operate from 1.8 V to 5 V independently of VDD2, which also ranges from 1.8 V to 5 V. This allows direct interfacing between, for example, a 1.8 V microcontroller and a 5 V peripheral without external level-shifting circuitry.
What safety certifications does ADUM242E0BRIZ hold?
ADUM242E0BRIZ is certified to UL 1577 (5000 Vrms), IEC/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 60601-1 (2 MOPP), IEC/CSA 61010-1, CQC GB4943.1, and DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) with VIORM = 849 Vpeak, confirming reinforced insulation for medical and industrial safety-critical designs.
What is the fail-safe behavior of ADUM242E0BRIZ on power loss?
ADUM242E0BRIZ is configured as an E0 variant, meaning its outputs default to logic high when VDD1 is unpowered or when DISABLE1 is asserted. This fail-safe high state prevents undefined logic levels in safety-critical paths such as gate driver enables or relay controls during brownout conditions.
How does ADUM242E0BRIZ compare to optocouplers in terms of propagation delay stability?
ADUM242E0BRIZ achieves 13 ns maximum propagation delay at 5 V with ±1.5 ps/°C temperature drift and ≤3.0 ns channel matching - significantly tighter and more stable than optocouplers, which typically exhibit >100 ns delays with >10 ns unit-to-unit variation and strong temperature dependence due to LED aging and CTR degradation.
