Product details
Overview
MAX14930BASE+ from Analog Devices is a 4-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 2.75kVRMS galvanic isolation, 1Mbps data rate, and default-low output configuration in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (10.3mm × 7.5mm). It supports independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on both sides, operates from –40°C to +125°C, and delivers robust common-mode transient immunity of 25kV/µs - ideal for isolated SPI and industrial fieldbus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14930BASE+ datasheet, MAX14930BASE+ pinout, MAX14930BASE+ application, or MAX14930BASE+ equivalent, this device is selected for high-reliability multichannel isolation where safety-rated working voltage (443VRMS), low-power operation at 1Mbps, and UL/VDE-certified basic insulation are mandatory design requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX14930BASE+ implements capacitive isolation using Analog Devices' proprietary process, enabling signal transfer across galvanically separated domains without magnetic or optical coupling. Its four unidirectional channels support asymmetric direction configurations (e.g., A→B only), and each channel features integrated enable control (ENA/ENB) for three-state output management.
It complies with IEC 60747-5-5 for reinforced insulation, achieves 630VPK repetitive peak isolation voltage (VIORM), and withstands ±10kV surge per IEC 61000-4-5. The device uses differential input thresholds with 410mV hysteresis to reject noise and ensure reliable logic-level translation across supply domains.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8640ED-B-IS | 4-channel, 2.5kVRMS, 1Mbps, default-high output, QSOP-16 | Lower isolation rating (2.5kVRMS vs. 2.75kVRMS); no 8mm creepage; requires layout review for reinforced insulation compliance | Select when board space is constrained and 2.5kVRMS suffices; verify creepage/clearance against end-equipment safety standard. |
| ISO6740QDWR | 4-channel, 5kVRMS, 1Mbps, default-low, SOIC-16 (wide), automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Higher isolation (5kVRMS), AEC-Q100 qualified, but higher supply current (3.4mA/channel @ 1Mbps, 3.3V) | Choose for automotive under-hood use where 5kVRMS surge immunity and temperature grade are mandatory. |
Compared with SI8640ED-B-IS and ISO6740QDWR, the MAX14930BASE+ provides the optimal balance of certified 2.75kVRMS isolation, 8mm creepage, default-low safety state, and low quiescent current (1.2–1.9mA per side @ 1Mbps), making it preferred for industrial and medical systems requiring regulatory alignment without over-engineering.

FAQ
What is the maximum working isolation voltage (VIOWM) rating for MAX14930BASE+?
The MAX14930BASE+ has a maximum working isolation voltage (VIOWM) of 443VRMS, meaning it can continuously withstand 443VRMS across its isolation barrier under normal operating conditions. This rating is certified per IEC 60747-5-5 and aligns with basic insulation requirements in IEC 61010-1 and IEC 60601-1. The device also supports 2.75kVRMS withstand voltage (VISO) for 60 seconds and 630VPK repetitive peak voltage (VIORM).
Does MAX14930BASE+ support bidirectional communication like I²C?
No, MAX14930BASE+ is a unidirectional digital isolator - all four channels transmit in one direction only (A→B or B→A depending on variant). For bidirectional protocols such as I²C, Analog Devices specifies the MAX14933 family. The MAX14930BASE+ is optimized for SPI, RS-232, RS-485, and general-purpose digital I/O where directionality is fixed and deterministic timing is required.
What is the default output state of MAX14930BASE+, and why does it matter?
The MAX14930BASE+ has a default-low output state: when the enable pin (ENA or ENB) is deasserted or the input side is unpowered, all outputs go to logic low. This fail-safe behavior prevents undefined states during power sequencing or fault conditions - critical in safety-critical systems like medical devices or industrial controllers where unintended actuation must be avoided.
Can MAX14930BASE+ operate with different supply voltages on each side (e.g., 1.8V on Side A and 5V on Side B)?
Yes, MAX14930BASE+ supports independent 1.71V to 5.5V supplies on Side A (VDDA/GNDA) and Side B (VDDB/GNDB). This allows seamless level translation - for example, interfacing a 1.8V FPGA I/O bank with a 5V isolated transceiver. Input thresholds scale with respective VDD (VIH = 0.7×VDD), and output drive strength is specified per supply rail, ensuring compatibility across mixed-voltage designs.
What safety certifications does MAX14930BASE+ hold, and which standards do they cover?
MAX14930BASE+ is certified to UL 1577 (file E351759), cUL (CSA Bulletin 5A), and VDE 0884-11:2017-01 for basic insulation. It meets IEC 61010-1 (measurement equipment), IEC 60950-1 (IT equipment), and IEC 60601-1 (medical devices) for working voltage up to 443VRMS. These certifications validate its suitability for industrial, medical, and test equipment applications requiring regulatory compliance.
