Product details
Overview
MAX22164FAEE+ from Analog Devices is a six-channel reinforced digital isolator with 4-channel A→B and 2-channel B→A unidirectional signal transfer, 200Mbps maximum data rate, 7ns typical propagation delay at 3.3V, 50kV/μs CMTI, and 3kVRMS isolation rating. It enables isolated SPI communication in automotive battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22164FAEE+ datasheet, MAX22164FAEE+ pinout, MAX22164FAEE+ application, or MAX22164FAEE+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional channel mapping, safety-certified insulation parameters, and real-world design context for high-reliability isolated interfaces.
Technical Context
The MAX22164FAEE+ implements reinforced galvanic isolation using Analog Devices' proprietary silicon process, supporting independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on both sides (VDDA/GNDA and VDDB/GNDB) to enable level translation. Its 4:2 unidirectional channel configuration (IN1–IN4 → OUT1–OUT4; IN5–IN6 ← OUT5–OUT6) matches SPI master-slave signaling with dedicated bidirectional control paths.
It features undervoltage lockout (1.6V threshold), default-low outputs (E/F variant), refresh circuitry for indefinite DC input stability, and push-pull output drivers eliminating external pull-ups. Certified to UL1577 (3kVRMS), cUL, and pending VDE 0884-11 reinforced insulation, it withstands ±10kV surge (1.2/50μs) and operates from –40°C to +125°C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar six-channel digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si8661ED-B-IS | 25Mbps max data rate; 20ns propagation delay; 3.75kVRMS isolation; 16-SOIC package | Lower speed suits legacy industrial fieldbus but insufficient for 200Mbps SPI or fast BMS sampling | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed needs and SOIC footprint is preferred over QSOP |
| ISO6760FDWER | 500Mbps max data rate; 11ns propagation delay; 5kVRMS isolation; 16-SOIC package; no default-low option | Higher speed and isolation margin ideal for next-gen EV inverters but lacks fail-safe default-low behavior | Choose for ultra-high-speed applications where output state during undervoltage must be externally managed |
Compared with Si8661ED-B-IS and ISO6760FDWER, the MAX22164FAEE+ uniquely balances 200Mbps performance, default-low safety logic, QSOP compactness, and AEC-Q100 readiness - making it optimal for automotive BMS and high-reliability industrial SPI isolation where deterministic fail-safe behavior is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX22164FAEE+?
The MAX22164FAEE+ supports a maximum data rate of 200Mbps, verified under 2.25V–5.5V supply conditions. This enables high-speed isolated SPI, RS-485, and digital I/O applications where timing integrity is critical. The device maintains this rate across its full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, with typical propagation delay of 7ns at 3.3V.
Does the MAX22164FAEE+ have default-high or default-low outputs?
The MAX22164FAEE+ features default-low outputs, as indicated by the "F" and "E" suffixes in its part number. During undervoltage conditions on either VDDA or VDDB, or when inputs are unpowered or floating, all outputs transition to a logic-low state - a critical safety feature for preventing unintended activation of downstream power stages or actuators.
What safety certifications does the MAX22164FAEE+ hold?
The MAX22164FAEE+ is certified to UL1577 (3000VRMS), cUL (CSA Bulletin 5A), and has pending VDE 0884-11 reinforced insulation approval. It meets reinforced isolation requirements with 3kVRMS withstand voltage for 60 seconds, 445VRMS working voltage, and ±10kV surge immunity (1.2/50μs), making it suitable for ASIL-B automotive systems and IEC 62109-compliant EV chargers.
Can the MAX22164FAEE+ be used for level translation between different logic voltages?
Yes, the MAX22164FAEE+ supports independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on both sides (VDDA and VDDB), enabling seamless level translation. For example, it can interface a 1.8V microcontroller (VDDA = 1.8V) with a 5V sensor (VDDB = 5V) while maintaining galvanic isolation - eliminating the need for external level-shifting components in mixed-voltage systems.
What is the channel direction configuration of the MAX22164FAEE+?
The MAX22164FAEE+ has a 4:2 unidirectional channel configuration: four channels transmit from Side A to Side B (IN1–IN4 → OUT1–OUT4), and two channels transmit from Side B to Side A (IN5–IN6 → OUT5–OUT6). This matches standard isolated SPI implementations requiring MOSI/SCLK/CS/ALERT (forward) and MISO/FAULT (reverse) paths.
