Product details
Overview
MAX14935EAWE+T from Maxim Integrated is a four-channel, unidirectional 5kVRMS digital isolator with 25Mbps data rate, default-low output configuration, and independent 1.71V–5.5V dual-supply operation across isolated domains. It enables robust galvanic isolation in industrial fieldbus interfaces, isolated SPI/RS-232/RS-485 transceivers, and battery management systems operating up to +125°C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14935EAWE+T datasheet, MAX14935EAWE+T pinout, MAX14935EAWE+T application, or MAX14935EAWE+T equivalent, this page delivers verified channel directionality (3A→B, 1B→A), CMTI of 25kV/µs, propagation delay skew ≤3ns (same-direction), and SOIC-16W package compatibility for high-noise industrial signal conditioning and level translation.
Technical Context
The MAX14935EAWE+T implements three A-side inputs (INA1–INA3) driving three B-side outputs (OUTB1–OUTB3), plus one B-side input (INB1) driving one A-side output (OUTA1), forming a 3:1 unidirectional + 1:1 reverse-direction channel configuration. Its internal capacitive isolation barrier supports 5kVRMS withstand voltage per UL1577 and VDE 0884-11 Basic Insulation.
It features active-high enable pins (ENA/ENB) with 2µA internal pullups, undervoltage lockout (1.45V–1.71V threshold), and operates across -40°C to +125°C with guaranteed 25Mbps performance at 1.8V–5.5V supplies on both sides. Glitch rejection is 15ns and minimum pulse width is 40ns.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM140D0BRIZ | 4-channel, 25Mbps, 3.75kVRMS, default-high outputs, 16-pin SOIC | Lacks 5kVRMS rating; not certified to VDE 0884-11; lower CMTI (15kV/µs) | Select only if 3.75kVRMS suffices and default-high startup behavior is acceptable |
| SI8641ED-B-IS | 4-channel, 25Mbps, 5kVRMS, 3A→B + 1B→A, default-low, 16-pin SOIC | Higher supply current (12.8mA @ 12.5MHz vs. 10.3mA for MAX14935), same pinout | Valid drop-in alternative where higher power budget allows; identical functional mapping |
Compared with ADUM140D0BRIZ and SI8641ED-B-IS, the MAX14935EAWE+T delivers superior safety certification (VDE 0884-11), lower dynamic power at 25Mbps, and guaranteed 25kV/µs CMTI-making it preferred for IEC 61010-1 and IEC 61850-3 compliant industrial designs requiring long-term reliability under EMI stress.

FAQ
What is the exact channel configuration of the MAX14935EAWE+T?
The MAX14935EAWE+T implements three unidirectional channels from Side A to Side B (INA1→OUTB1, INA2→OUTB2, INA3→OUTB3) and one reverse-direction channel from Side B to Side A (INB1→OUTA1). This 3:1 + 1:1 topology is optimized for isolated SPI (MOSI/MISO/SCLK + CS) and asymmetric serial protocols. Pin 6 is OUTA1, and pins 11–14 are OUTB1–OUTB4-but only OUTB1–OUTB3 are functional in MAX14935EAWE+T.
Does the MAX14935EAWE+T support 1.8V operation on both sides simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX14935EAWE+T fully supports 1.8V operation on both VDDA and VDDB supplies, delivering guaranteed 25Mbps performance, 25kV/µs CMTI, and propagation delay skew ≤3ns. At 1.8V/12.5MHz, typical supply current is 4.5mA per side (IDDA/IDDB), enabling ultra-low-power isolated interfaces in portable and energy-sensitive applications.
What safety certifications does the MAX14935EAWE+T hold?
The MAX14935EAWE+T is certified to UL 1577 (5000VRMS, File E351759), cUL CSA 5A, VDE 0884-11 Basic Insulation (8400VPK transient, 1200VPK repetitive peak), and IEC 61010-1 (848VRMS working voltage). These approvals validate its use in safety-critical industrial equipment, medical auxiliary circuits, and energy metering systems requiring reinforced insulation.
How does the enable functionality work on the MAX14935EAWE+T?
The MAX14935EAWE+T features two independent active-high enable pins: ENA (pin 7) controls all A-side outputs (OUTA1), and ENB (pin 10) controls all B-side outputs (OUTB1–OUTB3). Each has a 2µA internal pullup to its respective supply (VDDA/VDDB), ensuring outputs default to high-impedance when un-driven. Enable-to-data-valid delay is 5.1ns (typical) at 5V supplies.
Can the MAX14935EAWE+T replace the MAX14934 or MAX14936 in a design?
No-the MAX14935EAWE+T is not pin-compatible with MAX14934 or MAX14936 due to differing channel mappings. MAX14934 provides 4× A→B channels; MAX14936 offers 2× A→B + 2× B→A; MAX14935EAWE+T is strictly 3× A→B + 1× B→A. Swapping requires PCB layout revision and firmware revalidation of signal routing and enable sequencing.
