Product details
Overview
ADuM5212BRSZ from Analog Devices is a dual-channel digital isolator with integrated isoPower® dc-to-dc converter, delivering regulated 3.3 V or 5.0 V isolated output up to 150 mW, supporting data rates up to 100 Mbps (NRZ), and featuring 25 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity for industrial PLC and isolated sensor interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the ADuM5212BRSZ datasheet, ADuM5212BRSZ pinout, ADuM5212BRSZ application, or ADuM5212BRSZ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated 20-lead SSOP package mapping, confirmed dual-channel signal + power isolation architecture, and real-world design constraints including thermal shutdown at 154°C and VSEL-programmable output voltage.
Technical Context
The ADuM5212BRSZ implements iCoupler® chip-scale transformer technology for both signal isolation and magnetic power transfer, eliminating external isolated DC/DC converters. Its dual-channel topology supports independent input/output logic domains with asymmetric supply capability: VDDP (3.135–5.5 V) powers the isoPower primary, while VDD1/VDD2 (3.135–5.5 V) and VISO (3.3 V or 5.0 V) operate independently.
It uses high-frequency switching (125 MHz oscillator, 600 kHz PWM) to generate isolated power, requiring strict PCB layout adherence per AN-0971. The device integrates soft-start, undervoltage lockout (2.4–2.6 V thresholds), and thermal shutdown (154°C) - all confirmed in Rev. G datasheet Tables 3, 11, and 18.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Up to 100 Mbps NRZ - enables high-speed SPI (≤15 MHz) and RS-232 transceiver interfaces without external clock conditioning. |
| Isolated Output Voltage | Programmable 3.3 V or 5.0 V via VSEL resistor network - supports mixed-voltage system partitioning across isolation barrier. |
| Max Isolated Power | 150 mW at 5 V input/5 V output - sufficient to power two isolated logic channels plus external low-power circuitry (e.g., ADC bias, gate driver). |
| Common-Mode Immunity | >25 kV/µs - ensures robust operation in noisy industrial environments with fast-switching power electronics. |
| Creepage & Clearance | 5.3 mm - meets reinforced insulation requirements per DIN EN IEC 60747-17 (VDE 0884-17) and UL 1577 (2500 V rms, 1 min). |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +105°C - qualified for extended use in motor drives, power supply control, and factory automation systems. |
| Propagation Delay | 20 ns (typ, C grade) - enables precise timing-critical isolation in feedback loops and synchronous communication. |
Pinout & Package
ADuM5212BRSZ is housed in a 20-lead SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 5.3 mm creepage and clearance, RoHS-compliant, and rated for reinforced insulation per VDE 0884-17.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 20 | VDD1 / VDD2 | Independent logic supply pins for side 1 (input) and side 2 (output); each accepts 3.135–5.5 V - decouples logic power from isolated power rail. |
| 2, 5, 6, 10 | GNDP | Input-side ground reference; all four pins internally connected - requires low-inductance star grounding to minimize noise coupling into isolation barrier. |
| 3, 4 | VIA / VIB | Logic inputs on side 1 - direct CMOS-compatible connection to microcontroller GPIO or UART TX lines. |
| 8 | PDIS | Active-low power disable - asserts standby mode when high, reducing quiescent current; essential for low-power wake-up architectures. |
| 9 | VDDP | Primary isoPower input - supplies energy to internal DC/DC converter; must be ≥3.135 V for 3.3 V VISO or ≥4.5 V for 5.0 V VISO. |
| 11, 15, 16, 19 | GNDISO | Output-side ground reference for isolated domain - separate from GNDP; critical for maintaining galvanic separation integrity. |
| 12 | VISO | Regulated isolated output voltage (3.3 V or 5.0 V) - powers side-2 logic (VDD2) and external loads up to 30 mA (5 V) or 20 mA (3.3 V). |
| 13 | VSEL | Voltage select input - sets VISO via external resistor divider to 1.25 V reference; determines whether VISO = 3.3 V or 5.0 V. |
| 17, 18 | VOB / VOA | Logic outputs on side 2 - drive isolated peripherals (e.g., MOSFET gate drivers, ADC control lines) with 3.2 mA sink/source capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated isoPower® DC/DC | Eliminates need for external isolated power supply - reduces BOM count, board area, and EMI filtering complexity in space-constrained designs. |
| VSEL-programmable VISO | Enables single-footprint support for 3.3 V or 5.0 V isolated domains - simplifies variant management and field firmware updates across voltage tiers. |
| Soft-start power supply | Prevents inrush current during power-up - avoids brownout on shared input rails and eliminates need for external current-limiting circuits. |
| High CMTI (>25 kV/µs) | Ensures signal integrity in high-di/dt environments (e.g., IGBT gate drive feedback) - prevents metastability and false triggering in motor control. |
| UL/VDE/IEC safety certifications | Meets reinforced insulation standards (VIORM = 600 V peak, VISO = 2500 V rms) - enables direct use in mains-connected equipment without additional barrier components. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Isolated Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel signal + isolated power applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADuM5211BRSZ | Reversed channel direction: VIA→VOA, VIB→VOB vs. ADuM5212BRSZ's VIA→VOB, VIB→VOA - pinout incompatible without PCB redesign. | Optimized for unidirectional data flow where input A maps to output A; ADuM5212BRSZ suits cross-channel routing (e.g., input A → output B for feedback loops). | Select ADuM5211BRSZ only if existing layout matches its fixed channel mapping; ADuM5212BRSZ offers greater flexibility in bidirectional control signal routing. |
| SI88222ED-IS | No integrated DC/DC - requires external isolated power supply; higher data rate (150 Mbps) but lacks VISO programmability and soft-start. | Suitable for high-speed, low-latency applications where isolated power is already available; cannot replace ADuM5212BRSZ in self-powered isolated subsystems. | Choose SI88222ED-IS when maximizing speed and minimizing propagation delay (13 ns typ) is critical and external isolated power exists; otherwise ADuM5212BRSZ reduces system complexity. |
Compared with ADuM5212BRSZ, ADuM5211BRSZ requires PCB layout changes due to swapped channel assignments, while SI88222ED-IS adds bill-of-materials and layout overhead by omitting integrated power - making ADuM5212BRSZ optimal for compact, self-contained isolated subsystems needing both signal and power transfer.

FAQ
What is the maximum isolated output power of the ADuM5212BRSZ?
The ADuM5212BRSZ delivers up to 150 mW of isolated output power when configured for 5 V input and 5 V output (VDDP = 5 V, VISO = 5 V). At 3.3 V output, it provides up to 100 mW (5 V input) or 66 mW (3.3 V input), as specified in Table 2 of the Rev. G datasheet. This power is available on the VISO pin and can supply side-2 logic (VDD2) and external low-power circuitry.
How is the isolated output voltage (VISO) set on the ADuM5212BRSZ?
The ADuM5212BRSZ uses the VSEL pin to program VISO to either 3.3 V or 5.0 V via an external resistor divider between VISO and GNDISO. For 3.3 V output, R1 = 10 kΩ and R2 = 16.9 kΩ; for 5.0 V, R1 = 10 kΩ and R2 = 30.9 kΩ - matching the internal 1.25 V reference. This configuration is validated in Tables 3, 7, and 11 of the datasheet.
Does the ADuM5212BRSZ support SPI communication?
Yes, the ADuM5212BRSZ supports SPI communication up to 15 MHz, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section of the datasheet. Its 100 Mbps data rate, low propagation delay (20 ns typ), and tight channel matching (tPSKCD ≤ 2 ns) ensure reliable full-duplex SPI isolation without clock stretching or added timing margin.
What safety certifications does the ADuM5212BRSZ hold?
The ADuM5212BRSZ is certified to UL 1577 (2500 V rms, 1 minute), 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 - all documented in Table 15 and Insulation Specifications (Table 16) of Rev. G. These cover reinforced insulation for industrial and medical auxiliary power applications.
Can the ADuM5212BRSZ operate with different input and output voltages?
Yes, the ADuM5212BRSZ supports asymmetric supply configurations: VDDP (3.135–5.5 V) powers the isoPower primary, VDD1/VDD2 (3.135–5.5 V) power logic domains independently, and VISO is programmable to 3.3 V or 5.0 V. Datasheet Sections "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS-5 V PRIMARY INPUT SUPPLY/3.3 V SECONDARY ISOLATED SUPPLY" confirm stable operation under mixed-rail conditions.
