Product details
Overview
MAX14436FAWE+ from Maxim Integrated is a four-channel, unidirectional digital galvanic isolator with 200Mbps data rate, 5kVRMS isolation rating (60s), and dual 1.71V–5.5V supplies enabling level translation. It features default-low outputs, active-high enable on both sides, and operates across –40°C to +125°C for industrial SPI isolation and RS-485 interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14436FAWE+ datasheet, MAX14436FAWE+ pinout, MAX14436FAWE+ application, or MAX14436FAWE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-16 pin mapping, CMTI (50kV/μs), VIOWM (848VRMS), and real-world design context for high-speed isolated communication in battery management and medical systems.
Technical Context
The MAX14436FAWE+ implements capacitive isolation using Maxim's proprietary process, supporting bidirectional supply operation (VDDA/VDDB = 1.71V–5.5V) with independent logic-side domains. Its 200Mbps maximum data rate and 5ns minimum pulse width enable high-fidelity SPI clock and data channel isolation without timing degradation.
It delivers 50kV/μs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) and withstands ±10kV surge (1.2/50μs) between GNDA and GNDB. The device maintains robust signal integrity via low propagation delay skew (<2ns channel-to-channel same-direction) and <2ps RMS clock jitter at 500kHz - critical for synchronous isolated interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5000VRMS for 60 seconds - meets UL1577 and CSA 5A safety requirements for reinforced insulation in industrial and medical systems |
| Max Data Rate | 200Mbps - supports high-speed SPI, isolated ADC/DAC interfaces, and fast serial bus isolation without bottlenecking |
| CMTI | 50kV/μs typical - ensures reliable operation in noisy motor drives and power converters with rapid ground shifts |
| Supply Range | 1.71V to 5.5V per side - enables direct interfacing between 1.8V microcontrollers and 3.3V/5V peripherals as a level translator |
| Propagation Delay | 4.1–20.3ns (VDD-dependent) - guarantees sub-25ns worst-case latency for time-critical control loops and real-time feedback |
| Output Default State | Default-low - prevents unintended activation of downstream drivers or transceivers during power-up or fault conditions |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C ambient - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and battery pack monitoring environments |
Pinout & Package
MAX14436FAWE+ is housed in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (W16MS+12 outline) with 8mm creepage/clearance and CTI ≥600V (Group I material). The package supports surface-mount assembly and meets JEDEC JESD51-7 thermal testing standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDDA) | Side A Power Supply | 1.71V–5.5V supply for input-side logic; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor |
| 2, 8 (GNDA) | Side A Ground Reference | Return path for VDDA domain; must be isolated from GNDB to maintain galvanic barrier |
| 3 (IN1), 4 (IN2) | Logic Inputs, Side A | Accept CMOS-level signals; VIH = 0.7×VDDA, VIL = 0.8V (for VDDA ≥2.25V) |

| 6 (OUT1), 7 (OUT2) | Logic Outputs, Side B | Default-low CMOS outputs; VOH = VDDB – 0.4V @ 4mA, VOL = 0.4V @ 4mA |
| 9 (GNDB), 10 (VDDB) | Side B Ground & Supply | Isolated power domain for output-side circuitry; VDDB = 1.71V–5.5V, independent of VDDA |
| 12 (OUT3), 13 (OUT4) | Logic Outputs, Side B | Match IN3/IN4 timing; support 200Mbps data transfer with <2ns channel-to-channel skew |
| 14 (ENA), 15 (ENB) | Active-High Enables | Enable/disable output drivers; internal 5µA pullup on ENA/ENB eliminates need for external resistors |
| 16 (OUT1) | Duplicate Output Pin | Redundant OUT1 connection for improved layout routing flexibility and reduced trace inductance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2402BRWZ | 25Mbps max data rate; 2.5kVRMS isolation; SOIC-16 package; default-high outputs | Lower speed and isolation rating limit use to legacy RS-485 or slow SPI; not suitable for 100MHz clock isolation | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs performance needs and system operates below 25Mbps with ≤2.5kVRMS safety margin |
| SI8642ED-B-IS | 200Mbps data rate; 5kVRMS isolation; default-high outputs; 1.71V–5.5V supplies; SOIC-16 | Same speed/isolation but lacks integrated enable pins; requires external logic for tristate control in shared-bus SPI | Choose when enable functionality is unnecessary and board space allows discrete enable circuitry |
Compared with ADUM2402BRWZ and SI8642ED-B-IS, MAX14436FAWE+ uniquely combines 200Mbps speed, 5kVRMS isolation, default-low outputs, and dual active-high enable pins in one SOIC-16 package - making it optimal for high-reliability, high-speed isolated SPI in battery and medical systems where safe power-up behavior and bus sharing are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by MAX14436FAWE+?
The MAX14436FAWE+ supports a maximum data rate of 200Mbps under standard operating conditions (VDDA/VDDB ≥2.25V). At lower supplies (1.71V–1.89V), the guaranteed maximum drops to 150Mbps. This enables high-fidelity isolation of SPI clocks, encoder signals, and fast serial buses without introducing timing bottlenecks in the MAX14436FAWE+ signal path.
Does MAX14436FAWE+ support different supply voltages on each side?
Yes, MAX14436FAWE+ supports independent 1.71V to 5.5V supplies on Side A (VDDA/GNDA) and Side B (VDDB/GNDB). This dual-supply architecture allows the MAX14436FAWE+ to function as a level translator - for example, interfacing a 1.8V FPGA I/O bank to a 3.3V isolated RS-485 transceiver without external logic-level shifters.
What is the default output state of MAX14436FAWE+?
The MAX14436FAWE+ has a default-low output state: when any input is unpowered or open-circuit, the corresponding output assumes a logic-low condition. This fail-safe behavior prevents unintended activation of downstream circuits such as gate drivers or enable-controlled power stages during power sequencing or fault conditions in the MAX14436FAWE+ application.
What safety certifications does MAX14436FAWE+ hold?
MAX14436FAWE+ is certified to UL1577 (File E351759) and CSA Bulletin 5A for 5000VRMS isolation voltage (60s), qualifying it for reinforced insulation in industrial and Class I medical equipment. It also meets IEC 60747-5-5 requirements with VIOWM = 848VRMS and VIOSM = 10kV surge rating - all verified and production-tested per MAX14436FAWE+ datasheet specifications.
How does MAX14436FAWE+ handle common-mode transients?
MAX14436FAWE+ achieves 50kV/μs typical common-mode transient immunity (CMTI), tested with ±1000V transients between GNDA and GNDB. This high CMTI ensures reliable signal transmission in electrically noisy environments - such as motor drives and power converters - where rapid ground potential shifts would otherwise corrupt data in the MAX14436FAWE+ isolation barrier.
