Product details
Overview
ADuM3470ARSZ from Analog Devices is a quad-channel digital isolator with integrated PWM controller and transformer driver for isolated dc-to-dc conversion. It delivers regulated 3.3 V to 24 V isolated output up to 2 W, supports 25 Mbps data rate (C grade), achieves 70% efficiency at 400 mA/5 V, and operates up to 105°C. It enables compact isolated power + signal transfer in industrial RS-485 transceivers.
For engineers reviewing the ADuM3470ARSZ datasheet, ADuM3470ARSZ pinout, ADuM3470ARSZ application, or ADuM3470ARSZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for isolated power and signal integrity designs.
Technical Context
The ADuM3470ARSZ integrates iCoupler® chip-scale transformers for galvanic isolation of four independent logic channels and a secondary-side-controlled flyback DC-DC converter. Its adjustable oscillator (200 kHz–1 MHz) drives an internal transformer driver with soft-start and pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection.
It implements isolated feedback via internal VFB (1.25 V ±0.125 V) and supports output regulation across multiple configurations: 5 V input → 5 V/3.3 V/15 V isolated outputs, or 3.3 V input → 3.3 V output. High common-mode transient immunity (>25 kV/µs) and reinforced insulation (VIORM = 560 V peak) meet IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1 and DIN EN IEC 60747-17 requirements.

Use Scenario: Connecting high-precision analog sensors (e.g., strain gauges, RTDs) to microcontrollers across hazardous voltage barriers in process instrumentation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Delivers clean, regulated 3.3 V isolated supply to sensor front-end and isolates ADC interface lines (SPI clock/data/CS). Use Value: Maintains signal integrity with >25 kV/µs CMTI and eliminates ground loops that cause offset drift in µV-level measurements. |
| Power Supply Start-up Bias | Automotive Battery Management |
Use Scenario: Generating initial bias voltage for gate drivers or controllers in offline SMPS before main converter starts, especially where auxiliary winding is impractical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated power + signal isolation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADuM4470ARIZ | Wider input range (3.0–5.5 V), higher isolation rating (5000 V rms), 3.5 W output, 105°C operation | Supports higher power and stricter safety requirements (e.g., medical, grid-tie inverters) | Choose when >2 W isolated power or 5 kV rms rating is mandatory; larger 20-lead SOIC package |
| Si88440ED-IS | 4-channel isolator + integrated DC-DC (up to 2.5 W), 3.75 kV rms, 150 Mbps data rate, different pinout | Lacks secondary-side regulation; uses primary-side feedback requiring optocoupler or shunt | Prefer for ultra-high-speed digital interfaces; avoid if precise isolated output regulation is required |
Compared with ADuM3470ARSZ, ADuM4470ARIZ offers higher isolation and power but requires more PCB area, while Si88440ED-IS enables faster data rates but sacrifices regulated output accuracy and adds external feedback complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated output voltage supported by the ADuM3470ARSZ?
The ADuM3470ARSZ supports an adjustable isolated output voltage from 3.3 V to 24 V, set via an external resistor divider on the FB pin. The internal feedback reference is 1.25 V ±0.125 V, enabling precise regulation across this full range when paired with appropriate transformer turns ratio and output capacitor selection.
Does the ADuM3470ARSZ require an external transformer?
Yes, the ADuM3470ARSZ requires an external transformer connected to the TRN pin pair. It integrates only the primary-side driver and secondary-side regulation control - the transformer must be custom-wound or selected from Analog Devices' recommended list (e.g., Pulse Electronics PA0168.x series) to meet isolation, coupling, and ET constant requirements.
What safety certifications does the ADuM3470ARSZ hold?
The ADuM3470ARSZ holds UL 1577 (2500 V rms, 1 min), IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 61010-1, CQC GB 4943.1, and DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) approvals. It is rated for reinforced insulation with VIORM = 560 V peak and meets material group I (CTI >600 V) requirements.
Can the ADuM3470ARSZ operate from a 3.3 V primary supply?
Yes, the ADuM3470ARSZ supports 3.0–3.6 V primary input (VDD1). In this mode, it delivers up to 250 mA at 3.3 V isolated output with 70% efficiency, and logic thresholds adjust accordingly (VIH = 1.6 V min, VIL = 0.4 V max). All four isolation channels remain fully functional at 25 Mbps (C grade).
How does the ADuM3470ARSZ achieve secondary-side regulation without an optocoupler?
The ADuM3470ARSZ closes the regulation loop on the isolated secondary side using its internal error amplifier and FB pin. The FB voltage is derived from the VISO output divider and compared to the 1.25 V reference. Control signals are sent across the isolation barrier via dedicated iCoupler® channels to adjust the primary-side PWM duty cycle - eliminating optocoupler latency and aging effects.
