Product details
Overview
MAX14931BAWE+T from Analog Devices is a 4-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 2.75kVRMS galvanic isolation, 150Mbps data rate, and independent 1.71V–5.5V dual-supply operation across isolated domains. It features 6.67ns minimum pulse width, 5.1ns typical propagation delay (tPLH), and operates from –40°C to +125°C - enabling high-speed SPI, RS-485, and industrial I/O isolation in harsh environments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14931BAWE+T datasheet, MAX14931BAWE+T pinout, MAX14931BAWE+T application, or MAX14931BAWE+T equivalent, this device delivers verified 150Mbps performance with <1ps pulse-width distortion at 5V, robust 25kV/µs CMTI, and VDE-certified basic insulation - critical for fieldbus, battery management, and medical system designs requiring functional safety compliance.
Technical Context
The MAX14931BAWE+T implements capacitive isolation with proprietary silicon-dioxide barrier technology, supporting only unidirectional channel configuration (A→B). Its architecture enables precise timing control via dedicated ENA/ENB enable inputs, with output default-low behavior confirmed by part suffix "B" per Ordering Information.
It supports full 1.71V–5.5V supply range on both sides independently, enabling level translation between logic families. The device is rated for continuous 443VRMS working voltage (VIOWM) and withstands ±10kV surge per IEC 61000-4-5, meeting UL1577, cUL, and VDE 0884-11 Basic Insulation standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8641ED-B-IS | 4-channel, 150Mbps, 3.75kVRMS isolation; 2.5V–5.5V supplies; no default-state option | Higher isolation rating but lacks output default-low configuration and 1.71V low-voltage support | Select when higher isolation voltage is required and default state is managed externally |
| ADUM4401BRWZ | 4-channel, 25Mbps, 5kVRMS; 2.7V–5.5V supplies; default-high outputs | Lower speed, higher isolation, different default state; not drop-in compatible due to timing and supply constraints | Choose for cost-sensitive 25Mbps applications where 5kVRMS is mandatory and 1.71V operation is unnecessary |
Compared with SI8641ED-B-IS and ADUM4401BRWZ, the MAX14931BAWE+T uniquely combines 150Mbps speed, 1.71V operation, default-low outputs, and 2.75kVRMS isolation in a single wide-SOIC package - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed industrial and medical isolation where deterministic power-on state is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX14931BAWE+T?
The MAX14931BAWE+T supports a maximum data rate of 150Mbps, verified across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and supply voltage range (1.71V to 5.5V). This is confirmed in the Dynamic Electrical Characteristics table for MAX1493_B/E variants, with minimum pulse width of 6.67ns and propagation delay as low as 5.1ns (tPLH, typ).
Does the MAX14931BAWE+T have a default output state, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX14931BAWE+T has a default-low output configuration, indicated by the "B" in its part number per the Product Selector Guide. When the input side (INAx) is unpowered or floating, all OUTBx outputs drive low. This behavior is guaranteed by internal circuitry and does not require external pull-down resistors.
Which safety certifications apply to the MAX14931BAWE+T?
The MAX14931BAWE+T is certified to UL1577 (3750VRMS), cUL (CSA 5A), and VDE 0884-11:2017-01 for Basic Insulation. It meets IEC 61010-1 (443VRMS working voltage) and IEC 60601-1 for medical applications, with 630VPK repetitive peak voltage and 10kV surge immunity per IEC 61000-4-5.
Can the MAX14931BAWE+T be used for bidirectional communication such as I²C?
No, the MAX14931BAWE+T is strictly unidirectional (A→B only) and does not support bidirectional protocols like I²C. For I²C isolation, Analog Devices specifies the MAX14933 family. Attempting to use MAX14931BAWE+T for bidirectional signaling will result in incorrect logic states and potential bus contention.
What is the creepage and clearance distance of the MAX14931BAWE+T package?
The MAX14931BAWE+T uses a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package with minimum creepage and clearance distances of 8mm, satisfying reinforced insulation requirements for industrial and medical safety standards including IEC 61010-1 and IEC 60601-1.
