Product details
Overview
ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is an isolated switching regulator IC with integrated iCoupler® feedback, designed as a primary-side transformer driver for up to 2.5 W isolated output power. It delivers regulated adjustable output (3.3 V to 24 V), supports 200 kHz–1 MHz oscillator frequency, achieves up to 80% efficiency, and provides 2500 V rms isolation - used in gate drive bias supplies and isolated sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 datasheet, ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 pinout, ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 application, or ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its integrated PWM feedback architecture, QSOP-16 package, 565 V peak reinforced insulation rating (VDE 0884-17), pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection, and soft-start functionality at power-up.
Technical Context
The ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 implements a secondary-side-controlled isolated dc-dc architecture using iCoupler® chip-scale transformers for isolated PWM feedback transmission. Its internal push-pull driver (X1/X2 pins) drives external transformers, while the FB pin receives voltage-divider feedback from the isolated output to regulate via duty-cycle modulation.
It features undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis on VDD1, thermal shutdown at 150°C with 20°C hysteresis, and operates across −40°C to +105°C ambient. The OC pin enables oscillator frequency programming (200 kHz–1 MHz) via external resistor, and the VREG/VDD2 interface supports dual-supply configurations (e.g., 5 V input → 15 V isolated output).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 2500 V rms for 1 minute; VIORM = 565 V peak per VDE 0884-17 - enables reinforced insulation in industrial and medical safety-critical systems. |
| Output Voltage Range | 3.3 V to 24 V (adjustable via FB resistor divider) - supports single- or dual-output isolated supplies including 5 V, 12 V, 15 V, and 24 V rails. |
| Max Output Power | 2.5 W at 5 V input - sufficient for gate drivers, isolated ADC/DAC bias, and low-power sensor signal conditioning. |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz to 1 MHz (programmable via OC pin resistor) - allows optimization of transformer size, EMI, and efficiency trade-offs. |
| Efficiency | Up to 80% at full load - exceeds unregulated isolated converters and reduces thermal stress in compact enclosures. |
| Protection Features | Pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection + thermal shutdown - prevents damage during short-circuit or overload transients without latch-off. |
| Package | 16-lead QSOP (5.3 mm × 10.2 mm) - surface-mount compatible with standard PCB assembly and provides 3.5 mm creepage/clearance. |
Pinout & Package
ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 is housed in a 16-lead QSOP package with gull-wing leads, optimized for high-voltage isolation and thermal performance. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; GND1 (Pins 2, 8) and GND2 (Pins 9, 15) are separated to maintain isolation integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| X1 | Transformer Driver Output 1 | Drives one side of external push-pull transformer primary; complements X2 for complementary switching. |
| X2 | Transformer Driver Output 2 | Drives opposite side of transformer primary; forms full push-pull pair with X1 for efficient power transfer. |
| VDDA | Primary-Side Supply Input | Accepts 3.0 V–5.5 V input; powers internal logic and driver stages; requires 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to GND1. |
| VREG | Secondary Regulator Input | Accepts 5.5 V–15 V external supply to generate regulated 5.0 V on VDD2; enables higher-output configurations (e.g., 5 V → 15 V). |
| FB | Feedback Input | Monitors isolated output via resistor divider; sets VISO = 1.25 V × (R1 + R2)/R2; required even in open-loop mode for soft start. |
| OC | Oscillator Control | Resistor-to-GND2 sets switching frequency (200 kHz–1 MHz); logic-high disables regulation (open-loop mode). |
| GND1 / GND2 | Isolated Ground References | Separate ground domains for primary (Pins 2, 8) and secondary (Pins 9, 15); critical for maintaining 2500 V rms isolation barrier. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated iCoupler® PWM Feedback | Eliminates optocouplers and external compensation components - reduces BOM count and improves loop stability across temperature and load. |
| Soft Start Function | Prevents inrush current and output overshoot during power-up - essential for reliable startup in systems with downstream LDOs or microcontrollers. |
| High Common-Mode Transient Immunity | >25 kV/µs - maintains regulation integrity in noisy industrial environments with fast-switching IGBTs or SiC MOSFETs. |
| Reinforced Insulation Certification | UL 1577, VDE 0884-17, IEC 62368-1, IEC 61010-1 - meets safety requirements for medical, industrial, and process control equipment. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Triggers at 150°C junction temperature with 20°C hysteresis - ensures safe recovery after overload without manual reset. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated dc-dc regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM4070ARWZ | Higher isolation rating (5000 V rms), wider input range (3.0–5.5 V), same QSOP-16 package and FB/OC pin compatibility. | Required for applications needing enhanced creepage (≥8 mm) or double-reinforced insulation per IEC 61800-5-1. | Select ADUM4070ARWZ when system-level safety certification demands higher dielectric strength or extended lifetime under partial discharge stress. |
| TI ISOW7841DWER | Integrated transformer + isolated DC-DC + data isolator in SOIC-16; fixed 5 V output; no adjustable VISO or OC frequency control. | Suitable for space-constrained designs needing combined power + signal isolation, but lacks programmability and multi-output flexibility. | Choose ISOW7841DWER only when both isolated power and data (SPI/I2C) are needed simultaneously and output voltage is fixed at 5 V. |
Compared with ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7, ADUM4070ARWZ offers higher isolation margin for demanding safety standards, while ISOW7841DWER trades adjustability and efficiency for monolithic integration - making ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 optimal for cost-sensitive, programmable isolated bias supplies requiring 3.3–24 V outputs.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated output voltage supported by the ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7?
The ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 supports an isolated output voltage range of 3.3 V to 24 V, set via external resistor divider on the FB pin using VISO = 1.25 V × (R1 + R2)/R2. For outputs above 15 V, the Figure 32 voltage-doubling schematic must be used with VREG supplied at ~12 V to avoid exceeding the 15 V absolute maximum rating on that pin.
Does the ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 require an external transformer, and what are key design constraints?
Yes, ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 requires an external push-pull transformer. Key constraints include: turns ratio NS/NP = 2 for 3.3 V/5 V outputs, NS/NP = 3 for 5 V → 15 V, ≤40% max duty cycle, and use of Schottky diodes with ≤0.5 V forward drop. Recommended transformers include Coilcraft JA4631-BL (1:2) and Halo TGSAD-290V6LF (1:3).
How does the ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 achieve regulation without an optocoupler?
The ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 uses Analog Devices' iCoupler® chip-scale transformer technology to transmit isolated PWM feedback from the secondary-side controller to the primary-side driver. This integrated digital channel replaces the optocoupler, providing precise, temperature-stable regulation with built-in loop compensation - eliminating drift and aging issues associated with optocouplers.
What safety certifications apply to the ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7?
The ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 is certified to UL 1577 (2500 V rms, 1 min), VDE 0884-17 (reinforced, VIORM = 565 V peak), IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1, and IEC/CSA 61010-1. These approvals validate its suitability for industrial, medical, and test equipment requiring reinforced insulation and pollution degree 2 compliance.
Can the ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 operate with a 3.3 V input to generate a 5 V isolated output?
Yes, ADUM3070ARQZ-RL7 supports 3.3 V primary input to generate 5 V isolated output. Per Table 2 and Figure 9, it delivers up to 350 mA at 70% efficiency with a 1:3 Halo transformer (TGSAD-290V6LF) at 500 kHz. Minimum load of 10 mA is recommended to ensure stable regulation and low output noise.
