Product details
Overview
MAX22291CASA/V+T from Analog Devices is a reinforced, two-channel, unidirectional digital isolator in 8-pin narrow SOIC with 4mm creepage/clearance, rated for 3kVRMS withstand voltage (60s), 445VRMS working voltage, and 200Mbps data rate. It features default-high outputs, 7ns typical propagation delay at 3.3V, and 50kV/μs CMTI - designed for isolated RS-485/RS-232 transceiver interfaces in automotive BMS and inverters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22291CASA/V+T datasheet, MAX22291CASA/V+T pinout, MAX22291CASA/V+T application, or MAX22291CASA/V+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q100 qualification status, isolation barrier performance, supply-voltage flexibility (1.71V–5.5V per side), and real-world design implications for high-noise industrial and automotive signal isolation.
Technical Context
The MAX22291CASA/V+T implements two independent unidirectional isolation channels with opposite-direction data flow: IN1→OUT2 (Side A to Side B) and IN2→OUT1 (Side B to Side A), enabling full-duplex transceiver isolation. Its proprietary capacitive isolation technology provides reinforced insulation certified to UL1577 and pending VDE 0884-11.
Each side supports independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies (VDDA/GNDA and VDDB/GNDB), enabling level translation across domains. Undervoltage lockout (1.6V threshold, 45mV hysteresis) forces outputs to default-high state during supply fault, ensuring fail-safe behavior in safety-critical systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating (VISO) | 3000VRMS for 60s - meets reinforced insulation requirements for functional safety in automotive and industrial systems |
| Working Voltage (VIOWM) | 445VRMS continuous - enables long-term operation in high-bus-voltage applications like 400V BMS stacks |
| Max Data Rate | 200Mbps - supports high-speed isolated SPI, CAN FD, and RS-485 links without timing bottlenecks |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 7ns typ at 3.3V - minimizes system latency in real-time motor control and battery monitoring loops |
| CMTI | 50kV/μs typ - rejects fast common-mode transients from IGBT switching in inverters and chargers |
| Supply Range (per side) | 1.71V to 5.5V - allows direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers and 3.3V/5V peripherals without external level shifters |
| Power @ 1Mbps | 0.78mW/channel at 1.8V - reduces thermal load in space-constrained automotive ECUs and portable test equipment |
Pinout & Package
MAX22291CASA/V+T uses an 8-pin narrow-body SOIC package (S8MS+24 outline, 4mm creepage/clearance) with reinforced insulation barrier between Side A (pins 1–4) and Side B (pins 5–8).
| 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 on Side A inputs/outputs |
| 2 IN1 | Logic input 1 on Side A | Drives OUT2 on Side B; accepts 1.71V–5.5V logic levels independent of VDDB |
| 3 IN2 | Logic input 2 on Side A | Drives OUT1 on Side B; shares same voltage domain as IN1 but isolated signal path |
| 4 GNDA | Side A ground reference | Must be isolated from GNDB; forms one side of reinforced dielectric barrier |
| 5 GNDB | Side B ground reference | Must be isolated from GNDA; completes galvanic separation for noise immunity |
| 6 OUT2 | Logic output 2 on Side B | Driven by IN1; push-pull output eliminates need for external pull-ups in RS-485 DE/RE control |
| 7 IN1 | Logic input 1 on Side B | Drives OUT1 on Side A; enables bidirectional communication across isolation barrier |
| 8 VDDB | Side B power supply input | Bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GNDB; sets logic-high level on Side B outputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualified (/V suffix) | Rated for -40°C to +125°C ambient operation with 100% production testing at both temperatures - suitable for under-hood automotive use |
| Reinforced isolation | UL1577 certified and VDE 0884-11 pending; 6250VPK surge rating enables robust protection against lightning-induced transients in EV chargers |
| Default-high outputs | Ensures known logic state during power-up/power-down or open-input conditions - critical for fail-safe RS-232 TX enable control |
| Low jitter clock transfer | 7.5ps RMS clock jitter enables precise timing in isolated ADC sampling clocks and PWM feedback loops |
| Independent dual supplies | VDDA and VDDB operate from 1.71V–5.5V independently - supports mixed-voltage systems like 1.8V MCU + 5V analog front-end |
Applications
| Automotive Battery Management System (BMS) | Industrial Isolated RS-485 Transceiver |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Isolating cell monitor IC communication lines between high-voltage battery stack (400–800V) and low-voltage MCU domain. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX22291CASA/V+T provides bidirectional signal isolation for daisy-chained UART links, with IN1→OUT2 carrying commands from MCU to slave monitors and IN2→OUT1 returning telemetry. Use Value: Reinforced 3kVRMS isolation prevents ground-loop currents and protects MCU from high-voltage faults; 200Mbps headroom accommodates future firmware updates with higher baud rates. |
Use Scenario: Isolating RS-485 transceiver (e.g., MAX3485) control lines (DE/RE) and data lines (RO/DI) in factory automation PLCs exposed to 2kV EFT noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX22291CASA/V+T isolates both direction-control signals and full-duplex data paths, eliminating shared ground references between controller and bus nodes. Use Value: 50kV/μs CMTI suppresses noise-induced glitches on DE/RE pins; default-high outputs ensure transceiver remains disabled during MCU reset sequences. |
| EV Onboard Charger (OBC) Control Interface | Isolated SPI for High-Voltage Sensor Monitoring |
Use Scenario: Isolating digital control signals between 3.3V MCU and SiC gate driver ICs operating at 600V+ DC-link potential in OBC PFC and inverter stages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX22291CASA/V+T transfers PWM enable/disable and fault feedback across isolation barrier, with IN1→OUT2 carrying EN signals and IN2→OUT1 returning FAULT status. Use Value: 7ns propagation delay ensures tight timing alignment between control and feedback; 445VRMS working voltage supports continuous operation in 650V-class OBC designs. |
Use Scenario: Isolating SPI clock, MOSI, MISO, and CS lines between 1.8V precision ADC (e.g., ADS131M04) and host MCU in HV battery pack current/voltage sensing modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MAX22291CASA/V+T routes all four SPI signals across barrier using two devices (one for clock/MOSI, one for MISO/CS), maintaining full-duplex timing integrity. Use Value: 200Mbps capability exceeds typical SPI speeds (≤50MHz), preserving setup/hold margins; independent 1.8V/3.3V supplies match ADC and MCU I/O voltage requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives

FAQ
What does the "/V" suffix in MAX22291CASA/V+T indicate?
The "/V" suffix confirms AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive applications. MAX22291CASA/V+T undergoes 100% production testing at both +25°C and +125°C, guarantees operation from -40°C to +125°C, and meets stress-test requirements for vibration, thermal cycling, and humidity. This makes MAX22291CASA/V+T suitable for under-hood and battery-pack environments where standard industrial isolators would fail qualification.
How does MAX22291CASA/V+T differ from MAX22290 in pinout and functionality?
MAX22291CASA/V+T has cross-connected channels: IN1 (pin 2) drives OUT2 (pin 6), and IN2 (pin 3) drives OUT1 (pin 7), enabling full-duplex isolation. In contrast, MAX22290 routes both channels unidirectionally (IN1→OUT1, IN2→OUT2). The pinout differs - MAX22291CASA/V+T places OUT1 on pin 7 and IN1 on pin 7 of Side B, while MAX22290 places OUT1 on pin 2. PCB layout is not interchangeable.
Does MAX22291CASA/V+T support level shifting between different logic voltages?
Yes. MAX22291CASA/V+T supports independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on each side: VDDA (pin 1) sets Side A logic levels, and VDDB (pin 8) sets Side B levels. For example, a 1.8V MCU can drive IN1/IN2 while VDDB = 3.3V powers OUT1/OUT2 to interface with a 3.3V RS-485 transceiver - no external level shifters needed. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Applications Information section.
What safety certifications does MAX22291CASA/V+T hold?
MAX22291CASA/V+T is UL1577 certified (File E351759) for 3000VRMS isolation and cUL listed to CSA Bulletin 5A. VDE 0884-11 certification for reinforced insulation is pending. It meets IEC 60747-5-5 for VIOWM (445VRMS), VIORM (630VPK), and VIOSM (6250VPK surge). These ratings are validated per Table 1 and Safety Regulatory Approvals section of the datasheet.
Can MAX22291CASA/V+T replace optocouplers in existing designs?
Yes - with design review. MAX22291CASA/V+T offers superior speed (200Mbps vs. ≤10Mbps for most optos), lower power (0.78mW/channel vs. 5–15mW), tighter timing (7ns delay vs. 100+ ns), and longer lifetime (no LED degradation). However, pinout and supply requirements differ: optocouplers often use single supply and open-collector outputs, while MAX22291CASA/V+T requires dual supplies and push-pull outputs. Layout and decoupling must follow the datasheet's Layout Considerations section.
