Product details
Overview
ADUM3401ARWZ-RL from Analog Devices is a quad-channel digital isolator using iCoupler® transformer-based technology, providing galvanic isolation between microcontroller I/O and industrial bus interfaces. It supports bidirectional communication at up to 10 Mbps (BRW grade), 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 - deployed in isolated SPI data converter interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM3401ARWZ-RL datasheet, ADUM3401ARWZ-RL pinout, ADUM3401ARWZ-RL application, or ADUM3401ARWZ-RL equivalent, key selection criteria include channel direction configuration (2/2), 10 Mbps data rate capability, SOIC-16W package compatibility, 3.3 V/5 V level translation support, and system-level ESD robustness per IEC 61000-4-x.
Technical Context
The ADUM3401ARWZ-RL implements two input channels on Side A and two output-enable-controlled output channels on Side B, enabling asymmetric signal flow control in isolated serial interfaces. Its monolithic air-core transformer isolation architecture eliminates optocoupler aging, CTR drift, and nonlinearities while supporting dc-correct logic transmission via patented refresh circuitry.
It achieves 25 kV/μs common-mode transient immunity and meets reinforced insulation requirements per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) with VIORM = 560 V peak and VISO = 2500 V rms. The BRW speed grade guarantees 10 Mbps operation with ≤3 ns pulse width distortion and ≤22 ns propagation delay skew across temperature and supply variations.

Pinout & Package
ADUM3401ARWZ-RL uses a 16-lead SOIC wide-body (SOIC_W) RoHS-compliant package measuring 10.3 mm × 10.3 mm × 2.4 mm, with creepage/clearance ≥8.3 mm for reinforced insulation compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Primary-side power supply | Supplies Side A inputs (pins 1–2, 15–16); accepts 3.0–5.5 V; decoupling required near pin |
| VDD2 | Secondary-side power supply | Supplies Side B outputs (pins 4–5, 12–13); independent 3.0–5.5 V domain enables level translation |
| GND1 | Primary-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1; must be separated from GND2 by isolation barrier |
| GND2 | Secondary-side ground reference | Return path for VDD2; physically and electrically isolated from GND1 |
| INA, INB | Input channels A1, A2 | Logic inputs referenced to VDD1/GND1; accept CMOS levels (VIH = 2.0 V @ 5 V, 1.6 V @ 3.3 V) |
| OUTA, OUTB | Output channels B1, B2 | CMOS outputs referenced to VDD2/GND2; drive 3.2 mA sink/source; support 3.3 V/5 V logic levels |
| EN1, EN2 | Output enable controls | Active-low enables for OUTA/OUTB; high-impedance state reduces standby current in sleep modes |
| NC | No-connect terminals | Pins 3, 6–11, 14 are internally unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional channel configuration (2/2) | Enables isolated control of dual-directional interfaces like half-duplex RS-485 without external logic inversion |
| Output enable function per channel | Reduces total system quiescent current to ≤1.9 mA (VDD1) + ≤2.4 mA (VDD2) at 2 Mbps in low-power mode |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8641ED-B-IS | Capacitive isolation; 10 Mbps rated; 2/2 channel direction; 2.5 kV rms isolation rating | Lacks reinforced insulation certification (VDE 0884-17) and system-level IEC 61000-4-x validation | Preferred where lower cost and smaller footprint outweigh regulatory compliance needs |
| ISO6741-Q1 | Capacitive isolation; AEC-Q100 qualified; 50 Mbps max; 2/2 channel direction; 5000 V rms isolation | Automotive-qualified but lacks IEC 61000-4-x system-level ESD enhancements for industrial use | Selected when automotive-grade reliability and higher data rate are prioritized over industrial ESD hardening |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed data rate for ADUM3401ARWZ-RL?
The ADUM3401ARWZ-RL is a BRW-grade device with a maximum guaranteed data rate of 10 Mbps, validated under load (CL = 15 pF) with ≤3 ns pulse width distortion and ≤50 ns propagation delay. This rating applies across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and supply voltage range (3.0 V to 5.5 V per side). Higher rates up to 120 Mbps are specified for CRW variants only.
Does ADUM3401ARWZ-RL support level translation between 3.3 V and 5 V domains?
Yes, ADUM3401ARWZ-RL supports true bidirectional level translation: VDD1 can 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 drive strength adapts to the local supply - enabling direct interface between 3.3 V microcontrollers and 5 V RS-485 transceivers without external level shifters.
What safety certifications apply to ADUM3401ARWZ-RL?
ADUM3401ARWZ-RL is certified to UL 1577 (2500 V rms, 1 minute), DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) for reinforced insulation (VIORM = 560 V peak), IEC/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 60601-1, IEC/CSA 61010-1, and CQC GB 4943.1. These approvals validate its suitability for medical, industrial, and test equipment requiring double/reinforced insulation.
How does the output enable function work on ADUM3401ARWZ-RL?
ADUM3401ARWZ-RL provides two independent active-low output enable pins (EN1, EN2) controlling OUTA and OUTB respectively. When asserted low, each output enters high-impedance state with ≤1 µA leakage. Propagation delay from EN assertion to high-Z is ≤8 ns, and from high-Z to valid logic is ≤8 ns - enabling precise power gating in low-duty-cycle communication protocols like Modbus RTU.
Is ADUM3401ARWZ-RL pin-compatible with other ADuM340x variants?
Yes, ADUM3401ARWZ-RL shares identical SOIC-16W pinout and footprint with all ADuM340x family members (e.g., ADUM3400, ADUM3402), including same VDD1/VDD2, GND1/GND2, input/output, and enable pin assignments. Channel direction (2/2 for ADUM3401) and speed grade (BRW) are the only functional differentiators - allowing drop-in replacement within the same package variant when design constraints permit.
