For engineers reviewing the ADUM4472ARIZ datasheet, ADUM4472ARIZ pinout, ADUM4472ARIZ application, or ADUM4472ARIZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional context, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for isolated power + signal integrity designs requiring regulated auxiliary supply and high-CMTI data channels.
Technical Context
The ADUM4472ARIZ integrates a primary-side PWM controller with internal iCoupler® transformer-based feedback, eliminating external optocouplers while providing full loop compensation. Its secondary-side regulation maintains stable VISO across load and line variations, enabling flat efficiency curves from 0–2.5 W output.
It provides four independent unidirectional isolation channels (2/2 channel direction split), rated for DC–1 Mbps data rate in ARIZ grade, with propagation delay ≤100 ns and pulse width distortion ≤40 ns. The device supports 200 kHz–1 MHz adjustable oscillator frequency via external resistor and includes soft-start, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown.

Pinout & Package
ADUM4472ARIZ uses a 20-lead SOIC wide-body package (package code: RIZ) with 8.3 mm creepage and reinforced insulation. Pin functions are defined per the ADuM447x family datasheet Figure 15 (Pin Configurations).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD1 | Primary-side transformer driver supply | Provides power to internal MOSFET driver; accepts 3.3 V or 5 V input. |
| VDDA | Primary-side logic supply | Powers side-1 I/O buffers and controller logic; must match VDD1 or be decoupled separately. |
| GND1 | Primary-side ground reference | Return path for VDD1/VDDA; galvanically isolated from secondary side. |
| CHA–CHD | Primary-side input channels | Four CMOS-compatible inputs accepting VIH ≥2.0 V (5 V mode) or ≥1.6 V (3.3 V mode). |
| I/OA–I/OD | Secondary-side output channels | Four buffered outputs driving loads up to 4 mA; VOH = VISO − 0.3 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V. |
| VISO | Regulated isolated output | Adjustable 3.3–24 V supply rail; delivers up to 400 mA at 5 V output (5 V input case). |
| FB | Feedback voltage sense | Connects to resistor divider from VISO to set output voltage via internal 1.25 V reference (VFB). |
| REG | Internal LDO output | 5 V regulated output (VDD2) for secondary-side logic; requires external 1 µF bypass capacitor. |
| GND2 | Secondary-side ground | Return for VISO, REG, and side-2 I/O; isolated from GND1 by transformer and iCoupler barrier. |

| Soft-start function | Controls inrush current during power-up to avoid input supply droop and reduce stress on primary-side capacitors. |
Applications
| Power Supply Start-Up Bias | Isolated Sensor Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Providing initial bias voltage to isolated gate drivers before main DC bus is energized in motor inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADUM4472ARIZ generates regulated 15 V VISO to power high-side gate drivers and simultaneously isolates PWM enable signals. Use Value: Enables safe pre-charge sequencing and eliminates need for separate isolated bias supply, reducing BOM count by one DC-DC converter. |
Use Scenario: Isolating analog sensor signal conditioning circuitry (e.g., strain gauge bridge amplifier) from noisy PLC backplane. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADUM4472ARIZ supplies 5 V isolated power to op-amp and ADC stages while transmitting digitized data across isolation barrier. Use Value: Prevents ground loop noise injection into precision analog front-end, maintaining <1 LSB error in 16-bit ADC systems. |
| Process Control Loop | RS-485 Transceiver Interface |
Use Scenario: Powering and isolating 4–20 mA loop transmitter ICs in hazardous area field instruments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADUM4472ARIZ delivers 24 V VISO to loop-powered transmitter and isolates HART modem signals (FSK modulation). Use Value: Meets intrinsic safety requirements via reinforced isolation and eliminates external isolated 24 V supply, simplifying certification. |
Use Scenario: Isolating RS-485 transceiver (e.g., ADM3485) in factory automation networks exposed to EFT and surge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADUM4472ARIZ supplies 5 V VISO to transceiver's VCC and isolates DE/RE control lines plus differential data pair (A/B). Use Value: Maintains data integrity under >25 kV/µs transients, preventing bus lockup during variable-frequency drive switching noise. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM4472CRIZ | Same pinout and functionality, but rated for 25 Mbps data rate (vs. 1 Mbps in ARIZ); higher IDD1 supply current (48 mA vs. 16 mA quiescent). | Suitable for high-speed isolated UART, SPI, or digital encoder interfaces where timing margin is critical. | Select CRIZ when >1 Mbps data throughput is required; ARIZ remains optimal for cost-sensitive, low-speed industrial control. |
| ISO7842FDWR | Dual-channel isolator only; no integrated DC-DC - requires external isolated supply; lower CMTI (100 kV/µs typical, not guaranteed min). | Applicable only when isolated power is already available and only two signal channels are needed. | Choose ISO7842FDWR only if system already includes isolated 5 V supply and channel count is ≤2; ADUM4472ARIZ consolidates power + 4-channel isolation. |
Compared with ADUM4472CRIZ, the ADUM4472ARIZ trades data rate for lower power consumption and cost, while versus ISO7842FDWR it adds integrated 2.5 W isolated power and two extra isolation channels - making it uniquely suited for space-constrained, self-powered isolated interface nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated output voltage supported by ADUM4472ARIZ?
The ADUM4472ARIZ supports an adjustable isolated output voltage (VISO) range of 3.3 V to 24 V, set using an external resistor divider on the FB pin referencing the internal 1.25 V feedback threshold. This allows direct generation of common system rails like 5 V, 12 V, or 15 V without additional regulators - all while maintaining regulation accuracy within ±2% over temperature and load.
Does ADUM4472ARIZ require external compensation components for its DC-DC regulator?
No, ADUM4472ARIZ includes fully integrated PWM feedback compensation within the chip-scale transformer architecture. The internal loop compensation eliminates the need for external Type II or Type III compensators, simplifying design, reducing PCB area, and ensuring stable operation across all supported output voltages and load conditions without tuning.
Can ADUM4472ARIZ power an external RS-485 transceiver?
Yes, ADUM4472ARIZ can directly power an RS-485 transceiver such as the ADM3485: at 5 V VISO output and 5 V input, it delivers up to 400 mA, exceeding the 250 mA typical requirement of full-duplex transceivers. Its low output ripple (<50 mV p-p) and built-in soft-start prevent bus initialization faults during power-up sequences.
What is the channel configuration of ADUM4472ARIZ?
ADUM4472ARIZ implements a 2/2 unidirectional channel configuration: CHA and CHB are input-only (primary-to-secondary), while CHC and CHD are output-only (secondary-to-primary). This matches common isolated interface needs like UART (TX/RX) plus two control lines, and is fixed - not software-configurable.
How does the overcurrent protection operate in ADUM4472ARIZ?
ADUM4472ARIZ features pulse-by-pulse overcurrent protection that monitors primary-side switch current on every cycle. If peak current exceeds the internal threshold, the switch is disabled for that cycle only - preserving regulation during transient overloads while preventing transformer saturation and MOSFET thermal runaway during sustained shorts on the VISO rail.
