Product details
Overview
MAX14936DAWE+T from Maxim Integrated is a four-channel, unidirectional 5kVRMS digital isolator with 150Mbps data rate, 1.71V–5.5V dual-supply operation per side, and default-low output configuration. It provides galvanic isolation for SPI, RS-485, and multichannel I/O in industrial fieldbus and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14936DAWE+T datasheet, MAX14936DAWE+T pinout, MAX14936DAWE+T application, or MAX14936DAWE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150Mbps maximum data rate, 5kVRMS isolation rating, 1.71V–5.5V supply flexibility, and SOIC-16 wide-body package with 8mm creepage/clearance.
Technical Context
The MAX14936DAWE+T implements capacitive isolation using Maxim's proprietary process, supporting only unidirectional channel flow (A→B and B→A) with two independent enable inputs (ENA/ENB). Its architecture delivers 25kV/µs common-mode transient immunity and sub-8ns propagation delay at 5V supplies.
It features integrated undervoltage lockout (1.45V threshold), 2µA internal pullups on EN pins, and operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient. The device supports level translation between mismatched logic domains while maintaining full safety certification under UL1577, VDE 0884-11, and IEC 61000-4-5 surge standards.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2402BRWZ | 4-channel, 25Mbps, 2.5kVRMS isolation, SOIC-16, default-high outputs | Limited to lower data rates and isolation voltage; not suitable for 150Mbps SPI or 5kVRMS fieldbus | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed/isolation needs and default-high behavior is acceptable |
| SI8642ED-B-IS | 4-channel, 150Mbps, 5kVRMS, SOIC-16, default-low outputs, but no EN pins | Lacks independent enable control per side - reduces flexibility in partial-system power-down schemes | Choose when enable functionality is unnecessary and pin compatibility with existing Si86xx layouts is required |
Compared with ADUM2402BRWZ and SI8642ED-B-IS, the MAX14936DAWE+T uniquely combines 150Mbps speed, 5kVRMS isolation, default-low outputs, and dual independent enables - enabling high-fidelity, safety-certified isolation in thermally demanding, high-noise industrial and energy storage systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX14936DAWE+T?
The MAX14936DAWE+T supports a maximum data rate of 150Mbps, verified across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and supply range (1.71V to 5.5V per side). This performance is achieved with typical propagation delay of 5.1ns and pulse-width distortion under 1ns at 5V supplies, making it suitable for high-speed isolated SPI and digital I/O applications.
Does the MAX14936DAWE+T have built-in enable functionality, and how does it operate?
Yes, the MAX14936DAWE+T features two independent active-high enable inputs: ENA (Pin 7) controls Side A outputs (OUTA1/OUTA2), and ENB (Pin 10) controls Side B outputs (OUTB1–OUTB4). Each has an internal 2µA pullup to its respective supply (VDDA or VDDB), ensuring outputs enter their default-low state when the enable is deasserted or unpowered.
What safety certifications does the MAX14936DAWE+T hold?
The MAX14936DAWE+T is certified to UL1577 (5000VRMS), CSA C22.2 No. 5A (cUL), VDE 0884-11:2017 (Basic Insulation), and meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity (±10kV). It is rated for 848VRMS working voltage and 1200VP repetitive peak voltage, qualifying it for reinforced insulation in industrial and medical applications per IEC 61010-1 and IEC 60601-1.
Can the MAX14936DAWE+T operate with mismatched supply voltages on each side?
Yes, the MAX14936DAWE+T supports independent 1.71V to 5.5V supplies on Side A (VDDA/GNDA) and Side B (VDDB/GNDB). This enables seamless level translation - for example, interfacing a 1.8V FPGA I/O bank with a 3.3V RS-485 transceiver - without external level shifters, while maintaining full isolation integrity and timing specifications.
What is the default output state of the MAX14936DAWE+T when the enable pin is inactive?
The MAX14936DAWE+T has a default-low output configuration. When ENA or ENB is deasserted (low), the corresponding outputs (OUTA1/OUTA2 or OUTB1–OUTB4) enter a logic-low state - not high-impedance. This fail-safe behavior ensures predictable signal levels during power sequencing, brownout, or system reset, critical for safety-critical control paths.
