Product details
Overview
MAX14931DASE+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, 25kV/µs common-mode transient immunity, and operates from –40°C to +125°C - enabling robust SPI/RS-485 isolation in industrial motor drives and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14931DASE+T datasheet, MAX14931DASE+T pinout, MAX14931DASE+T application, or MAX14931DASE+T equivalent, this page delivers verified channel configuration (3 forward + 1 reverse), default-low output state, wide-body SOIC-16 package details, safety certifications (UL, VDE, cUL), and design-critical timing specs including 5.1ns typical propagation delay and <1ps pulse-width distortion at 5V.
Technical Context
The MAX14931DASE+T implements capacitive isolation with proprietary silicon-dioxide dielectric barriers, supporting asymmetric bidirectional signal flow: three channels isolate A-side inputs to B-side outputs (INA→OUTB), while one channel isolates B-side inputs to A-side outputs (INB→OUTA). Its architecture enables native SPI bus isolation without external direction control logic.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (1.58V threshold) on both sides, supports level translation between 1.71V and 5.5V domains, and maintains guaranteed timing performance across full temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) with no derating - critical for real-time control loops in automotive and industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 2.75kVRMS withstand (60s), 443VRMS continuous working voltage - meets IEC 60950-1 and IEC 61010-1 basic insulation requirements |
| Data Rate | 150Mbps maximum - supports high-speed serial interfaces like isolated CAN FD physical layer or fast SPI ADC readouts |
| Propagation Delay | 5.1ns typical (tPLH/tPHL at 5V) - enables sub-10ns timing-critical feedback paths in digital power converters |
| CMTI | 25kV/µs minimum - ensures reliable operation in noisy motor drive inverters with fast-switching SiC/GaN FETs |
| Supply Range | 1.71V to 5.5V per side - allows direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers and 3.3V/5V peripherals without level shifters |
| Channel Configuration | 3 forward (A→B), 1 reverse (B→A) - matches standard 4-wire SPI topology (SCLK/MOSI/MISO/SS) |
| Default Output State | Low - prevents floating states during power-up/power-down sequences in safety-critical systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin wide-body SOIC (10.3mm × 7.5mm), creepage/clearance ≥8mm, RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MS-013AC outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

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, 2.5kVRMS, 150Mbps, default-high outputs, QSOP-16 package (smaller footprint) | Lacks reverse-direction channel; requires external pull-down for default-low behavior | Select when board space is constrained and unidirectional-only operation suffices |
| ISO6741FDWR | 4-channel, 5kVRMS, 50Mbps, 16-pin SOIC, default-low, lower CMTI (10kV/µs) | Higher isolation rating but slower speed; optimized for cost-sensitive industrial PLC I/O modules | Select when 5kVRMS system-level certification is mandatory and 150Mbps is unnecessary |
Compared with SI8641ED-B-IS and ISO6741FDWR, the MAX14931DASE+T uniquely combines 2.75kVRMS isolation, 150Mbps speed, integrated reverse channel, and default-low outputs in a wide-body SOIC - making it optimal for high-fidelity SPI isolation where timing integrity and fail-safe startup behavior are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX14931DASE+T?
The MAX14931DASE+T supports a maximum data rate of 150Mbps under specified conditions (VDDA/VDDB = 4.5V–5.5V, CL = 15pF, TA = –40°C to +125°C). This is confirmed in the Dynamic Electrical Characteristics table for MAX1493_B/E variants, where DRMAX = 150Mbps is explicitly listed with 6.67ns minimum pulse width and 5.1ns typical propagation delay.
Does the MAX14931DASE+T support level translation between different voltage domains?
Yes, the MAX14931DASE+T supports level translation via independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on each side (VDDA and VDDB). Input thresholds scale with respective supply voltages (VIH = 0.7×VDD_, VIL = 0.8V), allowing seamless interfacing between 1.8V microcontrollers and 5V peripherals without external level shifters - a key feature validated in the DC Electrical Characteristics section.
What safety certifications does the MAX14931DASE+T hold?
The MAX14931DASE+T is certified to UL 1577 (3750VRMS), cUL (CSA 5A), VDE 0884-11:2017 (Basic Insulation), TUV, and IEC 60950-1/61010-1/60601-1. These are documented in the Safety Regulatory Approvals section, with file references (e.g., E351759 for UL/cUL, 5015017-4880-0001 for VDE) and rated working voltage of 443VRMS continuous.
How many channels operate in each direction on the MAX14931DASE+T?
The MAX14931DASE+T has three channels configured A→B (INA1–INA3 to OUTB1–OUTB3) and one channel configured B→A (INB1 to OUTA1), as defined in the Functional Diagram and Product Selector Guide. This 3+1 asymmetric configuration is explicitly assigned to the MAX14931 variant within the MAX14930–MAX14932 family.
What is the default output state of the MAX14931DASE+T during power-up?
The MAX14931DASE+T has a default-low output state, meaning all outputs (OUTA1, OUTB1–OUTB4) drive low when their respective inputs are unpowered or floating. This is confirmed by the Ordering Information suffix "D" (denoting default-low) and verified in the General Description: "Each device is also available in either a default high or default low configuration."
