Product details
Overview
MAX22344BAAP+ from Maxim Integrated is a reinforced, 4-channel digital galvanic isolator in 20-pin SSOP package, delivering 200Mbps maximum data rate, 3.75kVRMS withstand voltage (60s), and 50kV/μs CMTI. It features independent 1.71V–5.5V dual-supply operation, pin-selectable output default states, and active-high enable inputs-designed for high-speed isolated SPI, RS-485, and industrial fieldbus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22344BAAP+ datasheet, MAX22344BAAP+ pinout, MAX22344BAAP+ application, or MAX22344BAAP+ equivalent, this device supports fast, low-power isolation with reinforced safety certification (UL, cUL, VDE), precise timing control (typ. 5.7ns propagation delay at 3.3V), and robust surge immunity (±10kV), making it critical for battery management systems and medical isolation barriers where signal integrity and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable.
Technical Context
The MAX22344BAAP+ implements capacitive-based galvanic isolation with proprietary process technology, enabling bidirectional signal transfer across an isolation barrier rated for continuous 784VRMS working voltage and 5.3kVPK transient withstand. Its architecture supports unidirectional channel configuration with side-A and side-B logic domains operating independently under separate supply rails.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (1.5V–1.66V threshold) on both sides, input hysteresis (410mV), and configurable output default states (high/low via DEF pins). Timing performance is optimized for high-speed serial protocols: minimum pulse width of 5.0ns (at VDD ≥ 2.25V), peak eye jitter ≤100ps at 200Mbps, and channel-to-channel skew ≤2.0ns.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDA | Side-A power supply | Provides 1.71V–5.5V bias for input-side logic and isolator transmitter; decoupling required |
| GNDA | Side-A ground reference | Return path for VDDA; must be isolated from GNDB by PCB layout and physical barrier |
| IN1–IN4 | Side-A digital inputs | Accept CMOS-level signals; support 1.71V–5.5V logic thresholds with hysteresis |
| ENA | Side-A output enable (active-high) | Enables/disables all four side-A outputs simultaneously; internal pullup defaults to high |
| DEFA | Side-A output default state select | Configures output state (high/low) during power-up, undervoltage, or open-circuit input |
| VDDA | Side-B power supply | Independent 1.71V–5.5V rail for output-side logic; enables level translation between domains |
| GNDB | Side-B ground reference | Return path for VDDB; galvanically isolated from GNDA; defines secondary domain reference |
| OUT1–OUT4 | Side-B digital outputs | CMOS outputs capable of sourcing/sinking 4mA; VOH = VDDA – 0.4V, VOL = 0.4V |
| ENB | Side-B output enable (active-high) | Controls side-B outputs; internal pullup ensures enabled state at power-on if left floating |
| DEFB | Side-B output default state select | Matches DEFA function on side-B; allows synchronized fail-safe behavior across isolation barrier |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si8641ED-B-IS | 4-channel, 200Mbps, 5kVRMS reinforced isolation; 2.5V–5.5V supplies; no pin-selectable default state | Lacks configurable output default; requires external pull resistors for fail-safe behavior | Preferred when board space permits SOIC-16 and fixed-default logic suffices |
| ADUM2401ARWZ | 4-channel, 25Mbps, 5kVRMS; 3.0V–5.5V only; higher propagation delay (typ. 35ns) | Lower speed limits use in high-resolution SPI or fast encoder feedback loops | Selected for cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth industrial I/O where 25Mbps is sufficient |
Compared with Si8641ED-B-IS and ADUM2401ARWZ, the MAX22344BAAP+ uniquely combines 200Mbps speed, pin-configurable defaults, and 1.71V–5.5V dual-supply flexibility-enabling single-part support for both ultra-low-power sensor nodes and high-speed motor control interfaces without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX22344BAAP+?
The MAX22344BAAP+ supports a maximum data rate of 200Mbps under 2.25V–5.5V supply conditions. At lower supplies (1.71V–2.25V), the guaranteed maximum drops to 150Mbps. This high-speed capability enables its use in fast SPI interfaces and real-time industrial communication links where timing margins are tight.
Does the MAX22344BAAP+ require external components for basic operation?
No external components are required for core isolation functionality. The MAX22344BAAP+ includes internal pullup resistors on ENA/ENB and supports pin-selectable output defaults. However, 0.1µF bypass capacitors on VDDA and VDDB are mandatory per datasheet recommendations to ensure stable power delivery and noise immunity.
What safety certifications does the MAX22344BAAP+ hold?
The MAX22344BAAP+ is certified to UL1577 (File E351759), CSA Bulletin 5A (cUL), and VDE 0884-11:2017-01 for reinforced insulation. It achieves 3.75kVRMS withstand voltage (60s), 784VRMS working voltage, and 5.3kVPK transient isolation-meeting requirements for 2× MOPP in medical and reinforced protection in industrial systems.
How does the MAX22344BAAP+ handle undervoltage conditions?
The MAX22344BAAP+ incorporates undervoltage lockout (UVLO) on both sides with a threshold of 1.5V–1.66V (typ. 1.6V) and 45mV hysteresis. When either VDDA or VDDB falls below UVLO, outputs enter their pin-configured default state (high or low), preventing undefined logic states during brownout or power sequencing events.
Can the MAX22344BAAP+ be used for level translation between 1.8V and 5V domains?
Yes-the MAX22344BAAP+ supports independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on each side, allowing seamless level translation. For example, side-A can operate at 1.8V (MCU I/O) while side-B runs at 5V (legacy RS-485 transceiver), with full 200Mbps throughput and guaranteed logic thresholds compliant across the entire supply range.
