Product details
Overview
MAX14931DAWE+ from Analog Devices is a 4-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with 2.75kVRMS galvanic isolation, 150Mbps maximum 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 signal integrity in industrial fieldbus and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14931DAWE+ datasheet, MAX14931DAWE+ pinout, MAX14931DAWE+ application, or MAX14931DAWE+ equivalent, this device supports high-speed SPI/RS-485 isolation with low propagation delay skew (≤0.9ns channel-to-channel), precise timing control for time-critical I/O, and level translation between mixed-voltage subsystems without external logic.
Technical Context
The MAX14931DAWE+ implements capacitive isolation with proprietary silicon-dioxide barrier technology, supporting unidirectional A→B and B→A channel configurations per device variant. Its architecture delivers deterministic timing with <1ns pulse-width distortion at 150Mbps and guarantees functional operation up to +125°C ambient.
It integrates enable-controlled three-state outputs (tEN = 5.1ns typ., tTRI = 2.7ns typ. at 5V), supports fail-safe default-low output state, and meets VDE 0884-11 Basic Insulation requirements with 630VPK repetitive peak voltage rating and 4600VPK transient withstand capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 2.75kVRMS for 60s (UL1577), 443VRMS continuous working voltage - enables safe operation in Class I industrial mains-connected equipment. |
| Max Data Rate | 150Mbps - supports high-throughput SPI clocking and fast serial bus isolation without timing bottlenecks. |
| Propagation Delay Skew | 0.9ns (same-direction channels) - ensures tight timing alignment across all four isolated signals for synchronous protocols. |
| Common-Mode Transient Immunity | 25kV/µs - maintains signal integrity in noisy motor drive or power converter environments with rapid ground shifts. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.71V to 5.5V on both sides - allows direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers and 5V legacy peripherals without level shifters. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and medical battery management applications. |
| Peak Eye Jitter | 140ps at 5V - preserves signal eye margin for reliable high-speed serial link operation over PCB traces. |
Pinout & Package
MAX14931DAWE+ is housed in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (10.3mm × 7.5mm, 8mm creepage/clearance), optimized for high-voltage isolation integrity in space-constrained industrial designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDA / GNDA | Side-A power supply and ground | Provides isolated domain power for input-side logic; supports 1.71–5.5V operation and level translation into side-B. |
| VDDB / GNDB | Side-B power supply and ground | Independent isolated domain power for output-side logic; decouples noise between controller and actuator subsystems. |
| INA1–INA4 | Side-A digital inputs | Accept CMOS/LVTTL signals; VIH = 0.7×VDDA, VIL = 0.6–0.8V depending on supply - compatible with most MCUs and FPGAs. |
| OUTB1–OUTB4 | Side-B digital outputs | Drive 4mA loads with VOH = VDDB–0.4V, VOL = 0.4V - directly interfaces with 3.3V/5V receivers without pull-ups. |
| ENA / ENB | Output enable controls | Enable/disable side-A and side-B outputs independently; tEN = 5.1ns (5V), tTRI = 2.7ns - enables dynamic power gating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitive isolation barrier | 2.75kVRMS withstand, 630VPK repetitive peak voltage, and 4600VPK transient rating - certified to VDE 0884-11 and UL1577 for safety-critical systems. |
| High-speed timing performance | 5.1ns propagation delay (tPLH), ≤1ns pulse-width distortion, and 0.9ns channel-to-channel skew - enables precise synchronization in multi-signal isolation. |
| Dual-supply level translation | Independent 1.71–5.5V supplies on each side - eliminates need for external level shifters when bridging 1.8V sensors to 5V actuators. |
| Robust noise immunity | 25kV/µs CMTI and ±4kV HBM ESD protection - sustains reliable operation in electrically harsh factory automation and motor control environments. |
| Fail-safe default-low output | Outputs go low when input side is unpowered - prevents undefined states in power-fail or brown-out conditions for safe system shutdown. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISO6741QDWR | 4-channel, 5000VRMS isolation, 50Mbps max data rate, 16-pin SOIC - lower speed but higher isolation rating. | Preferred for medical devices requiring 5kVRMS reinforced insulation; unsuitable for >50Mbps SPI or RS-485 links. | Select when regulatory certification demands >2.75kVRMS isolation, and data rate ≤50Mbps suffices. |
| ADUM141E0BRZ | 4-channel, 3750VRMS isolation, 150Mbps, 16-pin SOIC - similar speed but uses iCoupler magnetic isolation and lacks default-low option. | Used where magnetic coupling is preferred over capacitive; no built-in fail-safe low-default output state. | Choose when compatibility with ADI's iCoupler ecosystem is required, and default output state is managed externally. |
Compared with ISO6741QDWR and ADUM141E0BRZ, the MAX14931DAWE+ uniquely combines 150Mbps speed, 2.75kVRMS isolation, and factory-configured default-low outputs - making it optimal for high-speed industrial I/O where fail-safe behavior and timing precision are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the MAX14931DAWE+?
The MAX14931DAWE+ is rated for 2.75kVRMS isolation voltage for 60 seconds per UL1577, with 443VRMS continuous working voltage (VIOWM) and 630VPK repetitive peak voltage (VIORM). It is certified to VDE 0884-11 Basic Insulation and meets IEC 61010-1 and IEC 60601-1 safety standards for industrial and medical applications.
Does the MAX14931DAWE+ support bidirectional communication?
No - the MAX14931DAWE+ is a unidirectional digital isolator. It supports configurable channel direction (A→B only, B→A only, or mixed), but each channel transfers data in one fixed direction. For true bidirectional protocols like I²C, Analog Devices recommends the MAX14933 series instead.
What is the default output state of the MAX14931DAWE+?
The MAX14931DAWE+ is configured as a default-low device: when the input-side supply (VDDA) is unpowered or below UVLO threshold, all OUTB outputs transition to logic low. This fail-safe behavior prevents undefined states in power-loss scenarios and simplifies system-level safety design.
Can the MAX14931DAWE+ operate with different supply voltages on each side?
Yes - the MAX14931DAWE+ supports independent 1.71V to 5.5V supplies on VDDA/GNDA and VDDB/GNDB. This enables seamless level translation, such as interfacing a 1.8V FPGA I/O bank with a 5V RS-485 transceiver, without external level-shifting components.
What package type is used for the MAX14931DAWE+?
The MAX14931DAWE+ uses a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package (outline 21-0042) measuring 10.3mm × 7.5mm, with 8mm creepage and clearance distances. This package meets reinforced insulation requirements for 2.75kVRMS isolation and is RoHS-compliant with lead-free terminations.
