Product details
Overview
ADUM3400BRWZ-RL from Analog Devices is a quad-channel digital isolator using iCoupler® transformer-based technology, providing galvanic isolation between microcontroller peripherals and industrial I/O. It supports bidirectional communication at up to 10 Mbps, operates from 3.0 V to 5.5 V on both sides, delivers ≤3 ns pulse width distortion, and features output enable for power-sensitive systems. It is used in isolated SPI interfaces for PLC analog input modules.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM3400BRWZ-RL datasheet, ADUM3400BRWZ-RL pinout, ADUM3400BRWZ-RL application, or ADUM3400BRWZ-RL equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-16W package details, ESD-enhanced system-level reliability per IEC 61000-4-x, and real-world design context for multichannel isolation in industrial fieldbus nodes.
Technical Context
The ADUM3400BRWZ-RL implements four independent unidirectional channels (all inputs on side A, all outputs on side B), with integrated air-core transformers enabling signal transmission across the isolation barrier without optocoupler degradation. Its architecture includes a patented refresh circuit ensuring DC correctness during idle periods and power transitions.
It supports mixed-voltage operation (3.3 V/5 V or 5 V/3.3 V), exhibits >25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity, and maintains channel-to-channel matching of ≤3 ns (codirectional) and ≤6 ns (opposing-directional) at 10 Mbps - critical for synchronized data capture in isolated ADC interfaces.

| Quiescent Current | ≤4.8 mA total (3.3 V side) - allows battery-backed isolated monitoring in low-power edge nodes |
| Common-Mode Immunity | >25 kV/µs - sustains reliable operation in high-noise variable-frequency drive environments |
| Isolation Rating | 2500 V rms (1 min), VIORM = 560 V peak - meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 62368-1 and IEC 61010-1 |
Pinout & Package
ADUM3400BRWZ-RL is housed in a 16-lead SOIC wide-body (7.5 mm body width), RoHS-compliant package with creepage/clearance ≥8.0 mm. Pinout follows standard ADuM340x BRW-grade configuration.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-channel digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8640BB-B-IS | Capacitive isolation; 100 Mbps max rate; 2.5 kV rms rating; no output enable pin | Lacks OE function and lower isolation voltage - unsuitable for safety-critical 2500 V rms systems | Select only if higher speed and lower cost outweigh missing OE and reduced safety margin |
| ISO6740QDWR | Capacitive isolation; 50 Mbps max; 5000 V rms rating; 3.3 V only on both sides | Requires external level shifters for 5 V interfaces; higher supply current at 10 Mbps (9.2 mA vs. 7.4 mA) | Prefer when reinforced 5 kV rms is mandatory and system uses uniform 3.3 V rails |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed data rate for ADUM3400BRWZ-RL?
The ADUM3400BRWZ-RL is rated for a maximum guaranteed data rate of 10 Mbps, with pulse width distortion maintained at ≤3 ns under all operating conditions. This specification is validated per CL = 15 pF and CMOS signal levels, and applies to the BRW-grade variant explicitly identified in the ordering guide. Higher rates (e.g., 90 Mbps) apply only to CRW-grade variants like ADUM3400CRWZ.
Does ADUM3400BRWZ-RL support level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains?
Yes, ADUM3400BRWZ-RL supports true bidirectional level translation: VDD1 may operate from 3.0 V to 5.5 V independently of VDD2, which also accepts 3.0 V to 5.5 V. Input thresholds scale accordingly (VIH = 2.0 V at 5 V, 1.6 V at 3.3 V), and output voltages swing rail-to-rail within each domain - enabling direct interfacing between 3.3 V MCUs and 5 V peripheral ICs without external level shifters.
What safety certifications does ADUM3400BRWZ-RL hold?
ADUM3400BRWZ-RL is certified to UL 1577 (2500 V rms for 1 minute), DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17, VIORM = 560 V peak), IEC/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 60601-1, and IEC/CSA 61010-1. These approvals confirm suitability for reinforced insulation in industrial, medical, and test equipment applications where creepage and clearance compliance is mandatory.
How does the output enable (OE) pin function in ADUM3400BRWZ-RL?
The OE pin on ADUM3400BRWZ-RL is an active-low control that places all four B-side outputs (OUTA–OUTD) into high-impedance state when asserted. Propagation delay from OE assertion to high-Z is ≤8 ns, and from deassertion to valid logic levels is also ≤8 ns. This allows dynamic bus sharing in multi-master isolated systems and reduces standby power in sleep-mode sequences.
Is ADUM3400BRWZ-RL pin-compatible with other ADuM340x variants?
Yes, ADUM3400BRWZ-RL shares identical pinout and package (16-lead SOIC wide) with all ADuM340x BRW and CRW variants, including ADUM3401BRWZ and ADUM3402BRWZ. Channel directionality differs (ADUM3400: A→B unidirectional; ADUM3401: A←B; ADUM3402: bidirectional per channel), but mechanical and PCB footprint compatibility is maintained across the BRW/CRW subfamilies.
