Product details
Overview
MAX22291EASA/V+T from Analog Devices is a reinforced, two-channel digital isolator with opposite-direction data flow (IN1→OUT2, IN2→OUT1), rated for 3kVRMS withstand voltage and 200Mbps max data rate. It operates across 1.71V–5.5V dual supplies, delivers 7ns typical propagation delay at 3.3V, and supports AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive applications including BMS and inverter gate driver interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22291EASA/V+T datasheet, MAX22291EASA/V+T pinout, MAX22291EASA/V+T application, or MAX22291EASA/V+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world isolation performance metrics, confirmed pin-level circuit roles, and validated alternatives for automotive and industrial isolated communication designs.
Technical Context
The MAX22291EASA/V+T implements bidirectional channel architecture-Side A inputs drive Side B outputs and vice versa-enabling full-duplex isolation of transceiver lines like RS-485 or CAN without external direction control. Its proprietary capacitive isolation barrier achieves 50kV/μs CMTI and sustains 445VRMS working voltage (VIOWM) under continuous stress.
It features independent undervoltage lockout per side (1.5V–1.66V threshold), default-low output behavior (E/F variant), and internal refresh logic to maintain output state during static input conditions. The device is qualified to AEC-Q100 Rev G Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C ambient) and certified to UL1577 and CSA Bulletin 5A for 3kVRMS reinforced insulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 3kVRMS for 60s (VISO); enables compliance with reinforced insulation requirements in automotive BMS and motor drives |
| Working Voltage | 445VRMS continuous (VIOWM); supports long-term operation in high-noise 400V DC-link environments |
| Max Data Rate | 200Mbps (C/F variant); sufficient for isolated SPI clocking up to 100MHz or high-speed CAN FD physical layer signaling |
| Propagation Delay | 7ns typical at VDD = 3.3V; reduces system latency in closed-loop motor control timing paths |
| CMTI | 50kV/μs typical; rejects fast common-mode transients from IGBT switching in inverters without data corruption |
| Supply Range | 1.71V–5.5V per side (VDDA/VDDB); allows direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers and 3.3V/5V peripherals as level translator |
| Power @ 1Mbps | 0.78mW/channel at 1.8V; cuts total isolation power by >50% vs. legacy optocouplers in battery-constrained EV modules |
Pinout & Package
MAX22291EASA/V+T is housed in an 8-pin narrow SOIC package (S8MS+24 outline) with 4mm creepage and clearance, RoHS-compliant, and rated for surface-mount reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| 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 input side (1.71V–5.5V) |
| 2 - OUT1 | Side A output (driven by IN2) | Push-pull output; no external pull-up needed; default-low state during undervoltage or open input |
| 3 - IN2 | Side A input (drives OUT1) | Accepts 1.71V–5.5V logic; 410mV hysteresis (MAX2229_B/E) prevents noise-induced toggling |
| 4 - GNDA | Side A ground reference | Must be isolated from GNDB; forms primary-side return path for VDDA and IN/OUT signals |
| 5 - GNDB | Side B ground reference | Must be isolated from GNDA; forms secondary-side return path for VDDB and IN/OUT signals |
| 6 - OUT2 | Side B output (driven by IN1) | Push-pull output; compatible with TTL/CMOS loads; sinks 4mA min at VOL ≤ 0.4V |
| 7 - IN1 | Side B input (drives OUT2) | Accepts 1.71V–5.5V logic; referenced to GNDB; enables full-duplex signal routing across isolation barrier |
| 8 - VDDB | Side B power supply input | Bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GNDB; sets logic-high level on output side (1.71V–5.5V) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reinforced Galvanic Isolation | 3kVRMS withstand (60s), 445VRMS working voltage, and ±10kV surge immunity meet IEC 60747-5-5 for automotive safety-critical systems |
| Opposite-Direction Channel Pair | IN1→OUT2 + IN2→OUT1 topology eliminates need for external direction control logic in RS-485/RS-232 transceiver isolation |
| Low-Power Operation | 0.78mW/channel @ 1Mbps/1.8V reduces thermal load in sealed battery enclosures and extends module lifetime |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Grade 1 qualification (−40°C to +125°C) with 100% production test at both temperatures ensures reliability in HEV powertrain electronics |
| High-Speed Timing Performance | 7ns propagation delay + 7.5ps RMS clock jitter enables precise timing alignment in isolated PWM feedback loops and encoder interfaces |

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, opposite-direction, 2.5kVRMS VISO, 150Mbps max, 1.8–5.5V supplies, default-low outputs | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; VIOWM = 375VRMS (vs. 445VRMS); lower CMTI (40kV/μs) | Valid for industrial RS-485 isolation where automotive qualification and higher working voltage are not required |
| ISO6721FDWR | 2-channel, opposite-direction, 5kVRMS VISO, 50Mbps max, 1.71–5.5V supplies, default-low outputs | Lower max data rate (50Mbps vs. 200Mbps); higher propagation delay (11ns typ); not AEC-Q100 qualified | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed BMS monitoring where 200Mbps headroom is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the MAX22291EASA/V+T?
The MAX22291EASA/V+T has a reinforced isolation rating of 3000VRMS for 60 seconds (VISO), a maximum working voltage of 445VRMS (VIOWM), and a peak surge withstand capability of ±10kV (1.2/50μs waveform). These values are certified per UL1577 and CSA Bulletin 5A, and pending VDE 0884-11 approval. The device also meets IEC 60747-5-5 requirements for reinforced insulation.
Does the MAX22291EASA/V+T support level translation between different logic voltages?
Yes, the MAX22291EASA/V+T supports true bidirectional level translation: VDDA (1.71V–5.5V) sets the input logic thresholds on Side A, while VDDB (1.71V–5.5V) sets output drive levels on Side B. This allows direct interface between a 1.8V microcontroller and a 3.3V or 5V peripheral without external level shifters-verified across all operating temperatures and data rates up to 200Mbps.
What does the "/V" suffix indicate in MAX22291EASA/V+T?
The "/V" suffix in MAX22291EASA/V+T denotes AEC-Q100 qualification per Rev G Grade 1 standards, covering operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. All electrical parameters-including propagation delay, CMTI, and supply current-are 100% production tested at both +25°C and +125°C, and the device carries full automotive traceability documentation and lot-level qualification reports.
How does the MAX22291EASA/V+T handle undervoltage conditions on either supply rail?
The MAX22291EASA/V+T incorporates independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuits on both VDDA and VDDB rails, with thresholds of 1.5V–1.66V and 45mV hysteresis. If either supply drops below UVLO, both outputs immediately enter their default-low state-ensuring fail-safe behavior in automotive power sequencing scenarios without requiring external reset supervision.
Is the MAX22291EASA/V+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX22290/MAX22291 family?
No-MAX22291EASA/V+T is not pin-compatible with MAX22290 variants due to reversed channel direction (IN1→OUT2/IN2→OUT1 vs. IN1→OUT1/IN2→OUT2). However, it shares identical 8-pin narrow SOIC packaging, pin numbering, and supply/ground layout with MAX22291CASA/V+T and MAX22291FASA/V+T, differing only in data rate (200Mbps) and output default state (low).
