Product details
Overview
MAX22441FAEE+ from Analog Devices is a reinforced, ultra-low-power, 4-channel digital isolator in 16-pin QSOP package with 3000VRMS isolation rating (60s), ±10kV surge capability, and 200kV/µs CMTI. It supports bidirectional signal transfer across galvanically isolated domains with three channels A→B and one channel B→A, operates from 1.71V to 5.5V per side, and delivers 10Mbps data rate with 43.8ns typical propagation delay - ideal for compact micro PLCs and battery-powered industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22441FAEE+ datasheet, MAX22441FAEE+ pinout, MAX22441FAEE+ application, or MAX22441FAEE+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed alternative options for low-power, high-CMTI isolation in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX22441FAEE+ implements capacitive galvanic isolation using Analog Devices' proprietary process, enabling reinforced insulation with 3000VRMS withstand voltage and 445VRMS continuous working voltage. Its architecture supports independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on each side, making it suitable as a level translator between mixed-voltage domains.
It features active-high enable pins (ENA/ENB) for power-gating individual sides, default-output behavior during undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient. Channel directionality is fixed: IN1/IN2/IN3 → OUT1/OUT2/OUT3 (A→B), and IN4 ← OUT4 (B→A).

Applications
| 4-20mA Loop Process Control | Compact Micro PLC |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Isolating analog input/output circuits in loop-powered field transmitters and controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital isolator bridging microcontroller-side digital logic and isolated 4-20mA DAC/ADC interface ICs. Use Value: Enables safe, low-power galvanic separation of hazardous-area sensor signals while maintaining 10Mbps SPI communication to precision converters. |
Use Scenario: Signal isolation in DIN-rail-mounted programmable logic controllers with limited board area. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional isolator for SPI-based peripheral expansion (e.g., isolated I/O modules, CAN transceivers). Use Value: Three A→B channels carry command/status data to isolated I/O banks; one B→A channel returns interrupt signals-reducing component count vs. dual unidirectional isolators. |
| Battery Management Systems | Parasitically Powered Applications |
|
Use Scenario: Isolating cell monitoring ICs (e.g., AD7280A) from host MCU in high-voltage EV battery packs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-CMTI isolator transferring ADC conversion results and fault alerts across 400–800V potential barriers. Use Value: 200kV/µs CMTI prevents corruption during fast dv/dt events from pack switching; 9.6µA/channel minimizes quiescent drain on auxiliary supply rails. |
Use Scenario: Energy harvesting systems where power is derived from piezoelectric or thermoelectric sources. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-low-power isolator enabling communication between harvested-energy-powered sensor nodes and mains-powered gateways. Use Value: 77.04µW/channel at 1Mbps (1.8V) allows full-duplex digital isolation without compromising energy budget in µW-scale harvesters. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADUM2401ARWZ | 2500VRMS isolation (vs. 3000VRMS); 150kV/µs CMTI (vs. 200kV/µs); 1.7–5.5V supply; 10Mbps | Lacks reinforced certification for 445VRMS continuous operation; lower surge rating (±6kV) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for highest surge/CMTI margin in non-safety-critical subsystems |
| SI8641ED-B-IS | 5000VRMS isolation (wide SOIC); 250kV/µs CMTI; 1.7–5.5V; 10Mbps; higher supply current (25µA/channel DC) | Requires larger 16-pin wide SOIC footprint; no QSOP option; higher static power | Choose for maximum surge robustness and CMTI in space-tolerant designs where PCB area permits wider package |
Compared with ADUM2401ARWZ and SI8641ED-B-IS, the MAX22441FAEE+ uniquely balances QSOP form factor, 3000VRMS/±10kV/200kV/µs ratings, and sub-10µA/channel quiescent current - making it optimal for compact, battery-aware, safety-compliant industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the MAX22441FAEE+?
The MAX22441FAEE+ has a 3000VRMS isolation rating for 60 seconds (VISO), a 445VRMS maximum continuous working voltage (VIOWM), and a ±10kV surge withstand capability per IEC 61000-4-5. These values are certified for the 16-pin QSOP package and apply to the MAX22441FAEE+ specifically, as confirmed in Analog Devices' datasheet revision 5 (2024).
How does the MAX22441FAEE+ differ from the MAX22440FAEE+ and MAX22442FAEE+?
The MAX22441FAEE+ features three unidirectional channels (IN1→OUT1, IN2→OUT2, IN3→OUT3) and one reverse-direction channel (IN4←OUT4), whereas MAX22440FAEE+ has all four channels A→B and MAX22442FAEE+ has two A→B and two B→A. Pinout and package are identical across the MAX2244x family, but internal signal routing differs - the MAX22441FAEE+ is optimized for asymmetric bidirectional protocols like SPI with dedicated interrupt return path.
Does the MAX22441FAEE+ support level translation between different supply voltages?
Yes, the MAX22441FAEE+ supports independent 1.71V to 5.5V supplies on Side A (VDDA/GNDA) and Side B (VDDB/GNDB), enabling true level translation - for example, 1.8V microcontroller logic can safely communicate with 3.3V or 5V analog subsystems across the isolation barrier without external level shifters.
What is the typical power consumption of the MAX22441FAEE+ at 1Mbps?
At 1Mbps and 3.3V supply, the MAX22441FAEE+ consumes 47.6µA per channel on the input side and 37.2µA per channel on the output side (typical), totaling ~339µA for all four channels. This equates to 77.04µW per channel at 1.8V, enabling multi-year operation in battery-backed industrial sensors.
Is the MAX22441FAEE+ certified for reinforced insulation standards?
Yes, the MAX22441FAEE+ is pending certification to VDE 0884-11 (reinforced insulation), UL 1557, and CSA IEC 62368-1/61010-1. Its 3000VRMS VISO, 445VRMS VIOWM, and 630VPK VIORM meet the requirements for reinforced insulation per IEC 60747-5-5, as documented in Tables 1 and 4 of the official datasheet.
