Product details
Overview
ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is a quad-channel digital isolator using iCoupler® transformer-based technology, providing 3.75 kVRMS reinforced isolation between two independent domains. It supports up to 25 Mbps NRZ data rate, features 25 ns typical propagation delay, operates across 1.8 V–5.5 V I/O and 3.0 V–5.5 V core supplies, and delivers >25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity - enabling robust SPI isolation in industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 datasheet, ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 pinout, ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 application, or ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-lead SSOP package, dual-supply level translation (1.8 V ↔ 5 V), output default select via CTRL pins, and compliance with UL 1577, VDE 0884-17, and IEC 62368-1 safety standards.
Technical Context
The ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 implements four unidirectional isolated channels with side-specific power domains: VDDL1/VDD1 for Side 1 (input) and VDDL2/VDD2 for Side 2 (output), each supporting independent voltage scaling. Its air-core transformer coupling eliminates LED aging and timing drift inherent in optocouplers, while integrated regulators (VDDC1/VDDC2) supply isolated logic rails without external DC-DC converters.
It uses separate control inputs (CTRL1/CTRL2) to configure output default states (high/low) during power-up or loss of input signal, and achieves pulse width distortion as low as 3 ns (B grade, 3 V operation). The device meets reinforced insulation requirements per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 with VIORM = 560 Vpeak and VISO = 3750 VRMS for 1 minute.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 25 Mbps NRZ - supports high-speed SPI clock and data lines without oversampling or retiming. |
| Propagation Delay | 25 ns typical (B grade, 5 V) - enables tight timing budgets in real-time control loops and fast ADC interfaces. |
| Isolation Rating | 3750 VRMS for 1 min - certified for reinforced insulation in industrial mains-connected systems per UL/IEC/VDE. |
| I/O Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers (1.8 V/3.3 V) and legacy 5 V logic. |
| Common-Mode Immunity | >25 kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in noisy motor drive or power converter environments. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
| Package | 20-lead SSOP (0.209" width) - RoHS-compliant surface-mount footprint with 0.65 mm pitch and 5.3 mm creepage/clearance. |
Pinout & Package
ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 is housed in a 20-lead, RoHS-compliant, narrow-body SSOP package (5.3 mm × 7.2 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) with 5.3 mm minimum creepage and clearance per IEC 62368-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 20 | VDDL1 / VDDL2 | I/O supply rails (1.8–5.5 V) for Side 1 inputs and Side 2 outputs - bypassed locally to GND1/GND2 with 0.01–0.1 µF ceramic capacitors. |
| 2, 10, 11, 19 | GND1 / GND2 | Dedicated ground references for isolated sides - Pins 2/10 and 11/19 are internally shorted; both must connect to respective PCB ground planes near the device. |
| 3–6 | VIA–VID | Side 1 logic inputs - accept CMOS levels referenced to VDDL1; support 1.8 V–5.5 V logic families. |
| 15–18 | VOA–VOD | Side 2 logic outputs - drive CMOS loads referenced to VDDL2; configurable default state via CTRL2. |
| 7 | NC | No internal connection - may be left floating or tied to VDD1/GND1; no electrical function. |
| 8, 13 | VDD1 / VDD2 | Core supply rails (3.0–5.5 V) powering internal isolator circuitry and regulators - require local 0.01–0.1 µF bypassing. |
| 9, 12 | VDDC1 / VDDC2 | Regulated outputs (≈VDD1/VDD2) for isolated logic - not for external load sourcing; bypassed to respective GND. |
| 14 | CTRL2 | Side 2 output default select - high = default high, low = default low during power-up or input loss. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| iCoupler® transformer isolation | Monolithic air-core transformers replace LEDs and photodiodes - eliminating optocoupler aging, CTR degradation, and temperature-dependent timing drift. |
| Dual-supply level translation | Independent VDDLx (1.8–5.5 V) and VDDx (3.0–5.5 V) rails enable seamless interfacing between 1.8 V MCU peripherals and 5 V fieldbus transceivers. |
| Output default configuration | CTRL2 pin sets Side 2 output state during power-up or signal loss - critical for fail-safe control in motor drives and safety I/O. |
| High CMTI | >25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity - ensures reliable operation in gate-driver feedback paths adjacent to fast-switching SiC MOSFETs. |
| Reinforced safety certification | UL 1577 (3750 VRMS), VDE 0884-17 (VIORM = 560 Vpeak), and IEC 62368-1 approval - qualifies for functional safety subsystems without additional barrier components. |

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; 5000 VRMS rating; 150 Mbps max; no integrated regulators; requires external LDOs for split-rail operation. | Better suited for high-speed serial links (e.g., USB isolation), but lacks native 1.8 V I/O compatibility and failsafe default control. | Select when >25 Mbps or lower propagation delay (<10 ns) is required, and system can accommodate external power regulation. |
| ISO6740QDWR | Capacitive isolation; 5000 VRMS; 50 Mbps; AEC-Q100 qualified; 1.71–5.5 V I/O; no output default select pin. | Designed for automotive infotainment and ADAS; lacks CTRL pin for fail-safe defaults and has higher quiescent current at 1.8 V. | Prefer for automotive-grade designs requiring AEC-Q100 qualification and higher speed, where fail-safe default is managed externally. |
Compared with SI8640BB-B-IS and ISO6740QDWR, ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 uniquely combines integrated regulators, 1.8 V I/O compatibility, and dedicated CTRL pins for fail-safe output defaults - making it optimal for industrial control and medical systems requiring deterministic power-up behavior and wide supply flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7?
ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 supports up to 25 Mbps in NRZ format, verified across all operating conditions (−40°C to +125°C) and supply configurations (1.8 V–5.5 V I/O, 3.0 V–5.5 V core). This rating applies to B-grade devices per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics tables for 5 V, 3 V, and 1.8 V operation modes.
Does ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 support 1.8 V logic on both sides of the isolation barrier?
Yes, ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 supports 1.8 V I/O operation on both sides: VDDL1 and VDDL2 accept 1.8 V–5.5 V, enabling direct interface with 1.8 V microcontrollers and sensors. Core supplies VDD1/VDD2 must remain ≥3.0 V, but I/O rails operate independently - confirmed in Tables 7 and 9 of the Rev. B datasheet.
How is output default state configured on ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7?
ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 uses the CTRL2 pin (Pin 14) to set the default output state on Side 2: logic high configures outputs VOA–VOD to default high during power-up or input loss; logic low configures them to default low. This is distinct from ADUM3481/ADUM3482, which use CTRL1/CTRL2 on both sides.
What safety certifications does ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 hold?
ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 is certified to UL 1577 (3750 VRMS, 1 min), DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) for reinforced insulation (VIORM = 560 Vpeak), IEC/EN/CSA 62368-1, and IEC/CSA 61010-1. The * marking on the package denotes VDE 0884-17 compliance per Table 11 of the datasheet.
Can ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 operate with a single supply voltage?
Yes, ADUM3480BRSZ-RL7 supports single-supply operation when the I/O voltage (VDDLx) equals the core supply (VDDx) within 3.0 V–5.5 V range - e.g., tying VDDL1 to VDD1 and VDDL2 to VDD2. This eliminates need for separate I/O regulators while maintaining full 25 Mbps performance and safety isolation.
