Product details
Overview
MAX22245FAWA/V+ from Analog Devices is a reinforced, fast, low-power, two-channel digital isolator designed for bidirectional signal isolation across galvanically separated domains in automotive and industrial systems. It delivers 200Mbps maximum data rate, 7ns typical propagation delay at 3.3V, 50kV/μs CMTI, and 5kVRMS withstand voltage for 60s - enabling robust isolated SPI, RS-485, and BMS communication interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22245FAWA/V+ datasheet, MAX22245FAWA/V+ pinout, MAX22245FAWA/V+ application, or MAX22245FAWA/V+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Analog Devices' official documentation and AEC-Q100 qualification evidence.
Technical Context
The MAX22245FAWA/V+ implements two unidirectional, same-direction channels using Analog Devices' proprietary capacitive isolation technology. It supports independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on both sides (VDDA/GNDA and VDDB/GNDB), enabling level translation while maintaining reinforced insulation with 8mm creepage/clearance and 848VRMS continuous working voltage (VIOWM).
It features integrated undervoltage lockout (1.5V–1.66V threshold), default-high outputs (C/F variant), refresh circuitry for indefinite DC input stability, and push-pull output drivers eliminating external pull-ups. Its 7.5ps RMS clock jitter and <2ns channel-to-channel skew support high-fidelity timing-critical interfaces like isolated ADC synchronization and motor control feedback loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5kVRMS for 60s (VISO) - meets reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60747-5-5 and UL1577. |
| Working Voltage | 848VRMS continuous (VIOWM) - enables long-term operation in high-voltage battery monitoring and inverter gate drive circuits. |
| Max Data Rate | 200Mbps - supports high-speed isolated serial protocols including SPI up to 100MHz SCLK and RS-485 at full line rate. |
| Propagation Delay | 7ns typ at VDD = 3.3V - ensures sub-10ns latency for real-time control loop isolation in motor drives and power converters. |
| CMTI | 50kV/μs typ - rejects fast common-mode transients from IGBT switching noise in EV inverters and industrial VFDs. |
| Supply Range | 1.71V to 5.5V per side - allows direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers and 3.3V/5V peripherals without level shifters. |
| Power @ 1Mbps | 0.78mW/channel at 1.8V - reduces thermal load in space-constrained automotive ECUs and battery management modules. |
Pinout & Package
MAX22245FAWA/V+ is housed in an 8-pin wide-body SOIC package (W8MS+7 outline) with 8mm creepage and clearance, RoHS-compliant, rated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VDDA | Side A power supply input | Supplies logic side A (IN1, IN2); bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GNDA for noise immunity. |
| 2 IN1 | Logic input channel 1 (Side A) | Accepts digital signals from MCU GPIO or sensor interface; compatible with 1.71V–5.5V logic levels. |
| 3 IN2 | Logic input channel 2 (Side A) | Second isolated input path - used for dual-signal acquisition (e.g., isolated current/voltage sensing). |
| 4 GNDA | Ground reference for Side A | Return path for VDDA and inputs; must be isolated from GNDB by ≥8mm PCB gap or slot. |
| 5 GNDB | Ground reference for Side B | Return path for VDDB and outputs; forms reinforced barrier with GNDA - no metallic connection allowed. |
| 6 OUT2 | Logic output channel 2 (Side B) | Drives isolated peripherals (e.g., RS-485 transceiver DE/RE pins); push-pull, no external pull-up needed. |
| 7 OUT1 | Logic output channel 1 (Side B) | Primary isolated output - commonly used for SPI MISO/MOSI or status flag transmission to host controller. |
| 8 VDDB | Side B power supply input | Supplies output side (OUT1, OUT2); independent of VDDA - enables level translation between 1.8V and 5V domains. |
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, 150Mbps max, 2.5kVrms isolation, 3.75kVrms surge rating; no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Suitable for industrial but not automotive-grade BMS or OBC designs requiring AEC-Q100 compliance. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and 200Mbps bandwidth needs. |
| ADUM2201ARWZ | 2-channel, 1Mbps max, 5kVRMS isolation, 25kV/μs CMTI; older iCoupler® technology, higher power consumption. | Applicable only in low-speed legacy systems (e.g., isolated UART, slow sensor buses) where 200Mbps is unnecessary. | Choose only if legacy design reuse or footprint compatibility with ADuM220x SOIC-8 is mandatory. |
Compared with SI8621ED-IS and ADUM2201ARWZ, the MAX22245FAWA/V+ uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 200Mbps speed, and 50kV/μs CMTI in a single 8-pin wide SOIC - making it the only option for next-generation automotive isolated communication requiring both safety certification and high-speed performance.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the MAX22245FAWA/V+?
The MAX22245FAWA/V+ has a reinforced isolation rating of 5000VRMS for 60 seconds (VISO), a maximum working voltage of 848VRMS (VIOWM), and a peak surge withstand capability of ±12.8kV per IEC 61000-4-5. These values are verified per UL1577 and pending VDE 0884-11 certification - confirming suitability for automotive high-voltage domain isolation.
Does the MAX22245FAWA/V+ support level translation between different logic voltages?
Yes, the MAX22245FAWA/V+ supports independent 1.71V to 5.5V supplies on each side (VDDA and VDDB), enabling seamless level translation - for example, interfacing a 1.8V FPGA I/O bank with a 3.3V RS-485 transceiver. Input thresholds scale with VDD_, ensuring reliable operation across the full supply range without external components.
What is the difference between MAX22245FAWA/V+ and MAX22246FAWA/V+?
The MAX22245FAWA/V+ features two unidirectional channels operating in the same direction (A→B), ideal for isolated digital I/O or dual-signal transmission. The MAX22246FAWA/V+ has opposite-direction channels (A→B and B→A), optimized for full-duplex isolated interfaces like RS-232 or RS-485. Both share identical isolation specs, package, and AEC-Q100 qualification.
Is the MAX22245FAWA/V+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX2224x family?
Yes, all MAX2224x variants (including MAX22245FAWA/V+, MAX22245BAWA/V+, MAX22246FAWA/V+) share identical 8-pin wide SOIC pinout and footprint (W8MS+7). Channel direction (same vs. opposite) and default output state (high vs. low) are the only functional differences - allowing drop-in replacement within the same variant group (e.g., F/C suffixes).
What safety certifications does the MAX22245FAWA/V+ hold?
The MAX22245FAWA/V+ is certified to UL1577 (File E351759) and CSA Bulletin 5A (cUL) for 5000VRMS isolation, and is pending VDE 0884-11:2017-1 certification for reinforced insulation. It also meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification (-40°C to +125°C), making it approved for automotive powertrain and charging applications.
