Product details
Overview
ADuM5211BRSZ from Analog Devices is a dual-channel digital isolator with integrated isoPower® DC-to-DC converter, providing galvanic isolation and regulated 3.3 V or 5.0 V isolated output (up to 150 mW), 100 Mbps signal transfer per channel, and 25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity. It serves as a self-contained isolation barrier in RS-232 transceivers and PLC I/O modules where space-constrained, low-power isolated power and data are required.
For engineers reviewing the ADuM5211BRSZ datasheet, ADuM5211BRSZ pinout, ADuM5211BRSZ application, or ADuM5211BRSZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative parts for design-in flexibility under industrial temperature (−40°C to +105°C) and safety-critical conditions.
Technical Context
The ADuM5211BRSZ implements iCoupler® chip-scale transformer technology for both signal isolation and magnetic power transfer, eliminating external isolated DC/DC converters. Its isoPower section operates at 125 MHz switching frequency and 600 kHz PWM, delivering regulated VISO via internal feedback controlled by an external VSEL resistor network.
It features independent input (VDD1) and output (VDD2) logic supplies (3.135–5.5 V), soft-start power-up, thermal shutdown at 154°C, and reinforced insulation rated to VIORM = 600 V peak per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17), with 5.3 mm creepage/clearance in the 20-lead SSOP package.

Pinout & Package
ADuM5211BRSZ is housed in a 20-lead Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP) with 5.3 mm creepage and clearance, optimized for high-voltage isolation integrity in compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, VDD1 | Primary-side logic supply | Provides 3.135–5.5 V power to input-side digital circuitry; independent of VDDP and VISO. |
| 3, VOA | Output A signal | Isolated logic output channel A - drives downstream devices on secondary side (e.g., MCU GPIO or ADC enable). |
| 4, VIB | Input B signal | Primary-side logic input channel B - accepts CMOS-level signals from controller or sensor interface. |
| 8, PDIS | Power disable control | Active-high logic input that places isoPower into standby mode, reducing quiescent current when isolated power is not needed. |
| 9, VDDP | Primary isoPower input | Main supply (3.135–5.5 V) for the integrated DC/DC converter; feeds transformer primary winding. |
| 12, VISO | Isolated output voltage | Regulated 3.3 V or 5.0 V supply for external loads - used to power VDD2 or peripheral ICs on isolated side. |
| 13, VSEL | Voltage select reference | Connects to resistor divider between VISO and GNDISO to set VISO output; enables programmable regulation. |
| 17, VOB | Output B signal | Isolated logic output channel B - complements VOA for bidirectional or dual-signal isolation (e.g., SPI SCLK/MOSI). |
| 18, VIA | Input A signal | Primary-side logic input channel A - paired with VIB for full-duplex or dual-control path isolation. |
| 20, VDD2 | Secondary-side logic supply | 3.135–5.5 V supply for output-side logic; may be powered by VISO or external source - decoupled from isolation barrier. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel isolated power + data applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADuM5210BRSZ | Channel direction: VIA/VOA and VIB/VOB both input→output (unidirectional out); ADuM5211BRSZ has one input→output and one output→input pair. | Best for unidirectional signal forwarding (e.g., MCU → isolated peripheral); unsuitable for bidirectional protocols like SPI without external logic. | Select ADuM5210BRSZ only if both channels require output-only directionality and identical timing specs are acceptable. |
| ADuM5212BRSZ | Channel direction: VIA/VOA and VIB/VOB both output→input (unidirectional in); ADuM5211BRSZ supports mixed directionality (VIA→VOA, VIB←VOB). | Optimized for feedback paths (e.g., isolated fault reporting or ADC readback); cannot drive isolated peripherals directly. | Choose ADuM5212BRSZ when receiving status or measurement data across barrier - not for driving isolated loads. |
Compared with ADuM5210BRSZ and ADuM5212BRSZ, the ADuM5211BRSZ uniquely supports asymmetric channel direction (one input→output, one output→input), enabling true bidirectional isolation for protocols like SPI without external direction control logic - simplifying layout and reducing component count in full-duplex interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated output power of the ADuM5211BRSZ?
The ADuM5211BRSZ delivers up to 150 mW of isolated output power at 5 V input/output configuration. At 3.3 V output, maximum power drops to 100 mW (5 V input) or 66 mW (3.3 V input), as specified in Table 2 of the datasheet. This power is delivered through the VISO pin and must be derated above 85°C ambient per thermal guidelines.
How is the VISO output voltage programmed on the ADuM5211BRSZ?
The ADuM5211BRSZ uses the VSEL pin to program VISO output voltage via an external resistor divider between VISO and GNDISO. With R1 = 10 kΩ and R2 = 30.9 kΩ, VISO is set to 5.0 V; with R2 = 16.9 kΩ, it is set to 3.3 V. The internal reference is 1.25 V, and VISO can be adjusted ±20% around VDDP within 3.135–5.25 V range.
Does the ADuM5211BRSZ support bidirectional communication natively?
Yes - the ADuM5211BRSZ has asymmetric channel direction: VIA → VOA (input-to-output) and VIB ← VOB (output-to-input), enabling native half-duplex or full-duplex bidirectional protocols like SPI without external direction control. This differs from ADuM5210BRSZ (both channels output-only) and ADuM5212BRSZ (both input-only).
What safety certifications apply to the ADuM5211BRSZ?
The ADuM5211BRSZ is certified to UL 1577 (2500 V rms, 1 min), DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17, VIORM = 600 V peak), IEC/CSA 62368-1, IEC/CSA 61010-1, and CQC GB 4943.1. These approvals cover reinforced insulation for industrial and measurement equipment up to overvoltage category II.
Can the ADuM5211BRSZ operate with different input and output supply voltages?
Yes - the ADuM5211BRSZ supports mixed-supply operation: VDDP (isoPower input) and VDD1 (primary logic) may differ from VDD2 (secondary logic), and VISO can be independently set to 3.3 V or 5.0 V. For example, VDDP = 5 V and VISO = 3.3 V is valid per Table 11, enabling level-shifting across the isolation barrier.
