Product details
Overview
MAX22291CASA/V+ from Analog Devices is a reinforced, dual-channel, unidirectional digital isolator with opposite-direction data flow (IN1→OUT2, IN2→OUT1), rated for 200Mbps max data rate, 3kVRMS withstand voltage (60s), and AEC-Q100 qualification. It operates across 1.71V–5.5V supplies on both sides and delivers 7ns typical propagation delay at 3.3V, enabling high-speed isolated communication in automotive BMS and inverters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22291CASA/V+ datasheet, MAX22291CASA/V+ pinout, MAX22291CASA/V+ application, or MAX22291CASA/V+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, automotive-grade safety compliance, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX22291CASA/V+ implements reinforced galvanic isolation using Analog Devices' proprietary process, supporting independent 1.71V–5.5V VDDA and VDDB supplies for bidirectional level translation. Its channel architecture routes IN1 to OUT2 and IN2 to OUT1-enabling full-duplex transceiver isolation without external logic.
It features 50kV/μs CMTI (typ), ±10kV surge immunity (1.2/50μs), and undervoltage lockout (1.5V–1.66V threshold) that forces outputs to default-high state during supply fault. All parameters are production-tested per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (−40°C to +125°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 3kVRMS for 60s - meets reinforced insulation requirements for automotive high-voltage systems |
| Max Data Rate | 200Mbps - supports isolated CAN FD, RS-485, and SPI up to 100MHz clock rates |
| Propagation Delay | 7ns (typ) at 3.3V - enables sub-10ns timing-critical feedback loops in motor control |
| CMTI | 50kV/μs (typ) - prevents false triggering in noisy inverter gate-drive environments |
| Supply Range | 1.71V–5.5V per side - allows direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers and 3.3V/5V peripherals |
| Surge Withstand | ±10kV (1.2/50μs) between GNDA/GNDB - satisfies IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 for industrial and automotive transients |
| Default Output State | High - ensures fail-safe logic-high on UART TX/RX lines during power-up or brownout |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin narrow SOIC (S8MS+24), 4mm 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 | Bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GNDA; sets logic-high level for IN1/IN2 and OUT1/OUT2 reference |
| 2 - OUT1 | Side A output (driven by IN2) | Push-pull driver; no external pull-up needed; compatible with TTL/CMOS loads |
| 3 - IN2 | Side A input (drives OUT1) | Accepts 1.71V–5.5V logic; 410mV hysteresis (MAX2229_C/F) rejects noise on long traces |
| 4 - GNDA | Side A ground reference | Must be isolated from GNDB; forms primary-side return path for VDDA and signal currents |
| 5 - GNDB | Side B ground reference | Must be isolated from GNDA; forms secondary-side return path for VDDB and signal currents |
| 6 - OUT2 | Side B output (driven by IN1) | Push-pull driver; drives isolated microcontroller RX or transceiver RO pin directly |
| 7 - IN1 | Side B input (drives OUT2) | Accepts 1.71V–5.5V logic; enables bidirectional isolation with single device (e.g., UART Tx/Rx) |
| 8 - VDDB | Side B power supply input | Bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GNDB; sets logic-high level for IN1 and OUT2 |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8621ED-B-IS | 2-channel, opposite-direction, 150Mbps max, 5kVRMS isolation, 2.5–5.5V supply only | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; not rated for automotive temperature range | Prefer MAX22291CASA/V+ for automotive BMS; SI8621ED-B-IS suitable for industrial RS-485 where AEC-Q100 is not required |
| ISO6721FDWR | 2-channel, same-direction (not opposite), 50Mbps max, 5000VRMS, 1.71–5.5V, default-low outputs | Cannot replace MAX22291's full-duplex topology without adding external logic; different default state affects fail-safe behavior | Use MAX22291CASA/V+ when bidirectional isolation is mandatory; ISO6721FDWR only viable if redesigning transceiver interface to use separate isolators per direction |
Compared with SI8621ED-B-IS and ISO6721FDWR, the MAX22291CASA/V+ uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, 200Mbps opposite-direction capability, and 1.71V low-voltage operation - making it the only drop-in solution for automotive full-duplex isolated communication without layout or firmware changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX22291CASA/V+?
The MAX22291CASA/V+ supports a maximum data rate of 200Mbps under 2.25V–5.5V supply conditions. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 4) for MAX2229_C/F variants. At lower supplies (1.71V–2.25V), the max rate is 150Mbps. The 200Mbps capability enables isolated SPI, CAN FD, and high-speed UART links without external retiming.
Does the MAX22291CASA/V+ have AEC-Q100 qualification?
Yes, the MAX22291CASA/V+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0, −40°C to +125°C), as explicitly stated in the Product Highlights and Detailed Description sections. The "/V+" suffix denotes automotive qualification, and the device undergoes 100% production testing at both +25°C and +125°C per AEC-Q100 requirements.
What is the default output state of the MAX22291CASA/V+ during power-up or undervoltage?
The MAX22291CASA/V+ has default-high outputs, as specified for the "C" variant in the Detailed Description. During undervoltage lockout (VDDA or VDDB < 1.5V), both OUT1 and OUT2 drive high - a fail-safe behavior critical for UART and transceiver interfaces where high = idle state.
How does the MAX22291CASA/V+ differ from the MAX22290 in pinout and functionality?
The MAX22291CASA/V+ uses opposite-direction channel mapping (IN1→OUT2, IN2→OUT1), while MAX22290 uses same-direction (IN1→OUT1, IN2→OUT2). Pin 2 is OUT1 (not IN1) and Pin 7 is IN1 (not OUT1) - confirmed in the Pin Configurations diagram (page 12) and Pin Description table. This makes MAX22291CASA/V+ ideal for transceiver isolation without external logic.
What safety certifications does the MAX22291CASA/V+ hold?
The MAX22291CASA/V+ is certified to UL1577 (3000VRMS), cUL (CSA Bulletin 5A, 3000VRMS), and has pending VDE 0884-11 reinforced insulation certification. These are listed in the Safety Regulatory Approvals section (page 9) and Table 1 (page 8), covering VIOWM = 445VRMS and VIOSM = 6250VPK surge rating.
