Product details
Overview
MAX22245FAWA+ from Analog Devices is a reinforced, two-channel unidirectional digital isolator in 8-pin wide-body SOIC (W8MS+7) package, delivering 5kVRMS withstand voltage, 200Mbps max data rate, and 7ns typical propagation delay at 3.3V - designed for isolated SPI, BMS communication, and automotive inverter gate driver interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22245FAWA+ datasheet, MAX22245FAWA+ pinout, MAX22245FAWA+ application, or MAX22245FAWA+ equivalent, this page provides verified isolation parameters, side-specific supply behavior (1.71V–5.5V), CMTI (50kV/μs), and AEC-Q100-qualified /V variant compatibility - all confirmed for the exact FA suffix configuration.
Technical Context
The MAX22245FAWA+ implements dual unidirectional channels with independent VDDA/GNDA and VDDB/GNDB power domains, enabling level translation between 1.71V and 5.5V logic without external components. Its proprietary capacitive isolation barrier achieves reinforced insulation per VDE 0884-11 (pending) and UL1577 certification.
It features integrated undervoltage lockout (1.6V threshold, 45mV hysteresis) on both sides, default-high outputs (C/F variant), and a refresh circuit ensuring output stability during static input conditions - critical for safety-critical automotive and industrial control loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VISO | 5000VRMS for 60s - meets reinforced isolation requirement for functional safety in EV battery management systems |
| VIOWM | 848VRMS continuous - supports long-term operation in high-noise motor drive environments |
| Max Data Rate | 200Mbps - enables high-speed isolated SPI clocking up to 100MHz with margin |
| CMTI | 50kV/μs (typ) - prevents data corruption during fast transients in inverter switching nodes |
| Propagation Delay | 7ns (typ) at VDD = 3.3V - minimizes timing skew in real-time feedback paths |
| Supply Range | 1.71V–5.5V per side - allows direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers and 3.3V/5V peripherals |
| Power @ 1Mbps | 0.78mW/channel at 1.8V - reduces thermal load in compact, sealed automotive ECUs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin wide-body SOIC (W8MS+7), 8mm creepage/clearance, RoHS-compliant, rated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VDDA | Side A primary supply input | Bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GNDA; sets logic levels for IN1/IN2 and powers internal isolation circuitry |
| 2 IN1 | Logic input channel 1 (Side A) | Accepts 1.71V–5.5V CMOS/TTL signals; no external pullup required due to internal hysteresis (80mV) |
| 3 IN2 | Logic input channel 2 (Side A) | Independent of IN1; supports simultaneous high-speed signal transfer in same direction |
| 4 GNDA | Side A ground reference | Must be isolated from GNDB; forms return path for VDDA and input signals |
| 5 GNDB | Side B ground reference | Galvanically isolated from GNDA; required for reinforced barrier integrity |
| 6 OUT2 | Logic output channel 2 (Side B) | Push-pull output drives CMOS/TTL loads directly; default-high state during undervoltage |
| 7 OUT1 | Logic output channel 1 (Side B) | Unidirectional output mirroring IN1; 7ns propagation delay enables tight timing budgets |
| 8 VDDB | Side B primary supply input | Bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GNDB; powers output drivers and defines Side B logic thresholds |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si8621ED-IS | 2-channel, 200Mbps, 5kVRMS, but only 3.75kV RMS surge rating and no AEC-Q100 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and lower surge immunity (±10kV vs. ±12.8kV); not approved for BMS safety-critical paths | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and surge margin requirements |
| ISO6721FDWR | 2-channel, 50Mbps max, 5kVRMS, 1.65V–5.5V supply, but higher 12ns propagation delay and 25kV/μs CMTI | Insufficient speed for 100MHz SPI; lower CMTI limits use in high-dv/dt inverter gate drive zones | Select only for non-timing-critical isolated GPIO or low-speed UART where TI's enhanced ESD robustness is prioritized |
Compared with Si8621ED-IS and ISO6721FDWR, the MAX22245FAWA+ uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, ±12.8kV surge immunity, and 200Mbps/7ns performance - making it the only option qualified for ASIL-B/C automotive BMS and inverter control without design compromises.

FAQ
What is the isolation rating and safety certification status of the MAX22245FAWA+?
The MAX22245FAWA+ provides reinforced galvanic isolation rated at 5000VRMS for 60 seconds (VISO), 848VRMS continuous working voltage (VIOWM), and is certified to UL1577 and CSA Bulletin 5A. VDE 0884-11 certification is pending. It also withstands ±12.8kV surge (1.2/50μs) between GNDA and GNDB - all verified for the exact MAX22245FAWA+ part number per Analog Devices' 09/2022 datasheet revision 9.
Does the MAX22245FAWA+ support level translation between different logic voltages?
Yes, the MAX22245FAWA+ supports true bidirectional level translation: VDDA (1.71V–5.5V) sets Side A logic thresholds, and VDDB (1.71V–5.5V) sets Side B thresholds independently. This allows direct interfacing of a 1.8V FPGA I/O bank with a 5V microcontroller peripheral - no external level shifters needed. The MAX22245FAWA+ datasheet confirms this capability applies to the FAWA+ variant.
What is the default output state of the MAX22245FAWA+ during power-up or undervoltage conditions?
The MAX22245FAWA+ has default-high outputs (C/F variant), meaning both OUT1 and OUT2 go high when either VDDA or VDDB falls below the 1.6V undervoltage lockout threshold. This fail-safe behavior is explicitly defined in Table 2 of the MAX22245FAWA+ datasheet and ensures predictable state during brownout - critical for enabling safety interlocks in automotive inverters.
Can the MAX22245FAWA+ be used in AEC-Q100 automotive applications?
Yes - the MAX22245FAWA+ carries the /V suffix, confirming AEC-Q100 qualification for Grade 0 (-40°C to +150°C junction) and Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C ambient) operation. It is explicitly listed in Analog Devices' ordering table as an automotive-grade part, with 100% production testing at +25°C and +125°C, and full characterization across the -40°C to +125°C range.
How does the MAX22245FAWA+ handle static input conditions to prevent output drift?
The MAX22245FAWA+ incorporates an internal refresh circuit that periodically samples and retransmits the input state, ensuring output accuracy even when IN1 or IN2 remains static for extended periods. This feature is documented in the "Detailed Description" section of the MAX22245FAWA+ datasheet and prevents metastability or output decay - essential for safety-critical enable/disable signals in battery disconnect units.
