Product details
Overview
MAX14931AASE+T from Analog Devices is a 4-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 2.75kVRMS galvanic isolation, 25Mbps data rate, and independent 1.71V–5.5V dual-supply operation across isolated domains. It features default-low output configuration, 25kV/µs common-mode transient immunity, and operates from –40°C to +125°C - enabling robust signal isolation in industrial fieldbus and isolated SPI interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14931AASE+T datasheet, MAX14931AASE+T pinout, MAX14931AASE+T application, or MAX14931AASE+T equivalent, this device supports high-speed multichannel isolation with precise timing (tPLH/tPHL ≤ 28.8ns), low propagation skew (≤3ns channel-to-channel), and seamless level translation between mixed-voltage systems.
Technical Context
The MAX14931AASE+T implements capacitive isolation with proprietary silicon-dioxide barrier technology, supporting unidirectional channel mapping (A→B only) and integrated enable control per side. Its architecture delivers deterministic timing with pulse-width distortion <2.6ns and enables direct interfacing with 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V microcontrollers and FPGAs without external level shifters.
It complies with VDE 0884-11 Basic Insulation (VIORM = 630VPK, VIOWM = 443VRMS), UL 1577 (2750VRMS for 60s), and IEC 61000-4-5 ±10kV surge protection. The device is rated for continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to +125°C and supports safety-critical designs requiring reinforced insulation integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 2.75kVRMS withstand (60s), 443VRMS continuous working voltage - meets reinforced insulation requirements for industrial safety standards. |
| Data Rate | 25Mbps maximum - supports high-speed isolated SPI clock/data lines and real-time sensor feedback loops. |
| Propagation Delay | tPLH/tPHL ≤ 28.8ns (typ @ 3.3V) - ensures sub-30ns latency for time-critical control signals. |
| CMTI | ≥25kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in noisy motor drives and power converter environments. |
| Supply Range | 1.71V to 5.5V on both sides - enables bidirectional level translation between legacy 5V logic and modern 1.8V I/O. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and battery management systems. |
| Output Default | Low-state default on all outputs when input unpowered - prevents undefined states during power sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX14931AUTP+ | Same 25Mbps speed and 2.75kVRMS rating, but in 16-pin TQFN (3mm × 3mm) package - 73% smaller footprint. | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs; thermal resistance differs (θJA = 42°C/W vs. 71°C/W). | Select when board area is limited and thermal management allows lower power dissipation margin. |
| ADUM3401BRWZ | 25Mbps, 2.5kVRMS isolation, 16-pin wide SOIC; uses iCoupler® magnetic isolation; higher supply current (8.2mA/ch @ 25Mbps). | Compatible pinout but different enable behavior and no default-low output option. | Choose if magnetic isolation is preferred for EMI immunity or if existing ADI iCoupler design reuse is required. |
Compared with MAX14931AASE+T, MAX14931AUTP+ saves board space but requires revalidation of thermal performance, while ADUM3401BRWZ offers magnetic isolation trade-offs and lacks configurable default output state - making MAX14931AASE+T optimal for high-density, thermally stable, default-safe industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the MAX14931AASE+T?
The MAX14931AASE+T is rated for 2.75kVRMS withstand voltage for 60 seconds (VISO), 443VRMS continuous working voltage (VIOWM), and 630VPK repetitive peak voltage (VIORM). It is certified to UL 1577, VDE 0884-11 (Basic Insulation), and IEC 61000-4-5 ±10kV surge - making it suitable for reinforced insulation in industrial and medical applications.
Does the MAX14931AASE+T support bidirectional communication?
No, the MAX14931AASE+T is a unidirectional isolator with fixed A→B channel direction (INAx → OUTBx). For bidirectional protocols like I²C, Analog Devices recommends the MAX14933 series. The MAX14931AASE+T's enable pins (ENA/ENB) control output drivers but do not reverse signal flow.
What are the supply voltage requirements for MAX14931AASE+T?
The MAX14931AASE+T requires two independent supplies: VDDA (1.71V–5.5V, referenced to GNDA) and VDDB (1.71V–5.5V, referenced to GNDB). Each supply has an undervoltage lockout threshold of 1.58V (typ), ensuring reliable operation across mixed-voltage systems such as 1.8V MCU ↔ 3.3V sensor interfaces.
How does the MAX14931AASE+T handle power loss on the input side?
The MAX14931AASE+T features a default-low output configuration: when INA1–INA4 are unpowered or floating, OUTB1–OUTB4 drive low. This fail-safe behavior prevents undefined logic states during power sequencing or brownout conditions - critical for safe shutdown in industrial control systems.
Is the MAX14931AASE+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX14930–MAX14932 family?
Yes, all MAX14930–MAX14932 variants share identical 16-pin wide SOIC pinouts and functional pin assignments. Differences lie in data rate (1/25/150Mbps), channel direction (A→B, B→A, or bidirectional), and default output state (high/low) - allowing drop-in replacement within the same speed and configuration group.
