Product details
Overview
MAX22346CAAP+ from Maxim Integrated is a reinforced 4-channel digital galvanic isolator with 200Mbps maximum data rate, 3.75kVRMS withstand voltage (60s), and 50kV/μs CMTI. It features independent 1.71V–5.5V dual supplies, pin-selectable output default states (high/low), and active-high enable inputs-designed for high-speed isolated SPI, RS-485, and industrial fieldbus interfaces operating from –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22346CAAP+ datasheet, MAX22346CAAP+ pinout, MAX22346CAAP+ application, or MAX22346CAAP+ equivalent, this device delivers verified reinforced isolation, low-power operation at 1.8V (3.2mW/channel @ 100Mbps), and SSOP-20 packaging with 5.5mm creepage/clearance-critical for safety-certified industrial and medical systems.
Technical Context
The MAX22346CAAP+ implements capacitive-based galvanic isolation using Maxim's proprietary process, supporting unidirectional signal transfer across two independently powered domains (Side A and Side B). Its architecture includes integrated undervoltage lockout (1.5V–1.66V threshold) and input hysteresis (80mV) to ensure robust noise immunity in noisy industrial environments.
All four channels are fully isolated with matched propagation delay skew (≤2.0ns channel-to-channel, same direction) and low pulse width distortion (≤2.0ns). The device supports 200Mbps operation at VDD ≥ 2.25V and maintains functional integrity under ±10kV surge (1.2/50μs) between GNDA and GNDB.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si8642ED-B-IS | 200Mbps, 5kVRMS reinforced isolation, 25kV/μs CMTI, SOIC-16 package (4.1mm creepage) | Lacks pin-selectable default state; no DEFA/DEFB pins; requires external pull-up/down for fail-safe behavior | Select when board space is constrained and 4.1mm creepage suffices; verify system-level surge testing with ±10kV waveform |
| ADUM2402BRWZ | 1Mbps max data rate, 5kVRMS, 25kV/μs CMTI, SOIC-16, no default-state control | Not suitable for high-speed SPI or RS-485; limited to low-bandwidth digital I/O and status signaling | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-data-rate applications where 200Mbps performance is unnecessary |
Compared with Si8642ED-B-IS and ADUM2402BRWZ, the MAX22346CAAP+ uniquely combines 200Mbps speed, pin-selectable fail-safe defaults, and 5.5mm creepage in SSOP-making it optimal for next-generation industrial and medical isolation requiring both performance and safety configurability.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX22346CAAP+?
The MAX22346CAAP+ supports a maximum data rate of 200Mbps when VDD is ≥2.25V. At lower supply voltages (1.71V–1.89V), the guaranteed maximum data rate is 150Mbps. This performance is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and is specified with CL = 15pF load.
Does the MAX22346CAAP+ support independent power supplies on each side?
Yes, the MAX22346CAAP+ supports fully independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on Side A (VDDA/GNDA) and Side B (VDDB/GNDB). This enables level translation between disparate logic families-for example, isolating a 1.8V FPGA I/O bank from a 5V RS-485 transceiver-without external level shifters.
How does the pin-selectable output default state work on the MAX22346CAAP+?
The MAX22346CAAP+ uses DEFA and DEFB pins to configure the output state (high or low) when inputs are unpowered or open-circuit. Pulling DEFA/DEFB high sets default-high; pulling low sets default-low. This ensures predictable, fail-safe behavior during power sequencing or fault conditions-critical in motor control and BMS applications.
What safety certifications apply to the MAX22346CAAP+?
The MAX22346CAAP+ is designed to meet UL 1577 (3750VRMS, 1s), CSA Bulletin 5A, and VDE 0884-11 reinforced isolation standards. It achieves 3.75kVRMS withstand (60s), 784VRMS working voltage, and ±10kV surge (1.2/50μs), with pending final certification documentation from Maxim Integrated.
What is the common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) specification for the MAX22346CAAP+?
The MAX22346CAAP+ has a typical CMTI of 50kV/μs, tested with a transient generator between GNDA and GNDB at 1000V. This high immunity prevents output glitches caused by rapid ground potential differences-essential in motor drives, inverters, and switch-mode power supplies where dv/dt exceeds 10kV/μs.
