Product details
Overview
ADUM5401CRWZ from Analog Devices is a quad-channel digital isolator with integrated isoPower® dc-to-dc converter, providing 5.0 V isolated output at up to 500 mW from a 5.0 V input, 2.5 kVrms reinforced isolation, and 25 Mbps data rate per channel. It serves as a complete signal + power isolation solution in RS-485 transceivers and industrial PLC I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the ADUM5401CRWZ datasheet, ADUM5401CRWZ pinout, ADUM5401CRWZ application, or ADUM5401CRWZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for low-power isolated system design.
Technical Context
The ADUM5401CRWZ uses iCoupler® chip-scale transformers for both signal isolation and isolated power transfer, eliminating external DC/DC converters. Its internal PWM-controlled oscillator (625 kHz) and rectifier regulate VISO to 5.0 V ±3% under load, with feedback path fully isolated across the barrier.
All four channels are unidirectional input-to-output (VIA→VOA, VIB→VOB, VIC→VOC, VID→VOD), supporting independent logic-level translation between 3.3 V and 5.0 V domains on either side. The device implements undervoltage lockout (2.4 V–2.7 V hysteresis) on VDD1, VISO, and GNDISO-referenced VSEL.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad-channel isolated power applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM5401ARWZ | Same pinout and function; A grade rated for 1 Mbps max data rate (vs. 25 Mbps C grade) | Suitable only for low-speed control signaling (e.g., enable/disable lines), not high-throughput serial buses | Select ADUM5401ARWZ only when cost sensitivity outweighs speed requirement and thermal margin is constrained. |
| SI8641ED-IS | 4-channel isolator with integrated DC/DC; 5.0 V output at 350 mW; no VSEL pin - fixed 5 V output | Lacks voltage-select flexibility; lower max output power limits driving heavy capacitive loads | Choose SI8641ED-IS when board layout prioritizes smaller footprint (SOIC-16 vs. wider SOIC_W) and 350 mW suffices. |
Compared with ADUM5401ARWZ, the ADUM5401CRWZ enables higher-speed field bus protocols; compared with SI8641ED-IS, it delivers 43% more isolated power and configurable output voltage selection via VSEL.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current from the ADUM5401CRWZ's isolated DC/DC converter?
The ADUM5401CRWZ delivers up to 100 mA continuous output current at 5.0 V (500 mW) when supplied with 5.0 V on VDD1. This rating assumes operation within −40°C to +85°C ambient; above 85°C, current must be reduced per the thermal derating curve in Figure 6 of the datasheet. At 105°C case temperature, maximum safe current drops to ~55 mA.
Can the ADUM5401CRWZ be used with a 3.3 V primary supply to generate 5.0 V isolated output?
No, the ADUM5401CRWZ cannot generate 5.0 V isolated output from a 3.3 V primary supply. Its DC/DC architecture requires VDD1 ≥ VISO; Table 1 confirms only three valid configurations: 5 V → 5 V, 5 V → 3.3 V, or 3.3 V → 3.3 V. Attempting 3.3 V → 5.0 V violates absolute maximum ratings and will result in UVLO shutdown or converter failure.
How does the VSEL pin configure the ADUM5401CRWZ's isolated output voltage?
On the ADUM5401CRWZ, the VSEL pin selects isolated output voltage: tying VSEL to GNDISO configures 5.0 V VISO output, while connecting VSEL to VISO configures 3.3 V VISO output. Since ADUM5401CRWZ is specified for 5.0 V operation, VSEL must be connected to GNDISO. This configuration is hardwired in the CRWZ grade and verified in Table 1 and Figure 2 of the datasheet.
What safety certifications apply to the ADUM5401CRWZ?
The ADUM5401CRWZ holds UL recognition (2500 Vrms, 1 min), CSA Component Acceptance Notice 5A, VDE certification to IEC 60747-5-2 (VIORM = 560 Vpeak), and CQC certification per GB4943.1-2011. These approvals confirm reinforced insulation suitability for industrial equipment up to 250 Vrms working voltage in tropical climates at altitudes ≤5000 m.
Does the ADUM5401CRWZ require external filtering components on its VISO pin?
Yes, the ADUM5401CRWZ requires a minimum 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 10 μF bulk capacitor (e.g., tantalum or aluminum electrolytic) directly at the VISO pin to stabilize regulation and suppress ripple. Table 2 specifies 75 mVp-p ripple at 90 mA load with this exact decoupling; omitting either capacitor causes excessive noise (>200 mVp-p) and may trigger UVLO on the isolated side.
