Product details
Overview
MAX22666CAWE+ from Analog Devices is a six-channel, unidirectional, reinforced digital isolator in a 16-pin wide SOIC package with 8mm creepage and clearance. It delivers 200Mbps maximum data rate, 7ns typical propagation delay at 3.3V, and 50kV/μs CMTI, enabling high-speed isolated communication in battery management systems and automotive inverters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22666CAWE+ datasheet, MAX22666CAWE+ pinout, MAX22666CAWE+ application, or MAX22666CAWE+ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, channel directionality, isolation safety ratings (5kVRMS/848VRMS), supply voltage flexibility (1.71V–5.5V per side), and real-world use cases in EV powertrain subsystems.
Technical Context
The MAX22666CAWE+ implements six independent unidirectional channels-data flows exclusively from Side A (IN1–IN6) to Side B (OUT1–OUT6)-enabling clean separation of control and power domains. Its proprietary capacitive isolation barrier achieves reinforced insulation per VDE 0884-11 (pending) and UL1577 certification.
It supports dual independent supplies (VDDA/GNDA and VDDB/GNDB), allowing level translation between 1.71V and 5.5V logic domains. The device includes undervoltage lockout (1.5V–1.66V threshold) and a refresh circuit to maintain output accuracy during static input conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5kVRMS for 60s (VISO); enables compliance with reinforced insulation requirements in high-voltage automotive systems |
| Working Voltage | 848VRMS continuous (VIOWM); supports long-term operation in 800V battery architectures |
| Max Data Rate | 200Mbps; allows real-time sampling and feedback in fast-switching SiC/GaN inverter gate drivers |
| Propagation Delay | 7ns typ at VDD = 3.3V; minimizes timing skew in synchronized multi-channel control loops |
| CMTI | 50kV/μs typ; ensures robust operation amid high dv/dt noise in motor drives and DC-DC converters |
| Supply Range | 1.71V–5.5V per side (VDDA/VDDB); permits direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers and 3.3V/5V peripherals |
| Power @ 1Mbps | 0.71mW/channel at 1.8V; reduces thermal load in space-constrained BMS modules |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin Wide SOIC (W16MS+13), 8mm creepage and clearance, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VDDA | Side A power supply | Bypass with 0.1µF capacitor; sets logic levels for IN1–IN6 inputs |

| 5–7 IN4–IN6 | Unidirectional inputs (A→B) | Same voltage range as IN1–IN3; all six channels flow A→B only |
| 8 GNDA | Side A ground reference | Must be isolated from GNDB; forms primary-side return path |
| 9 GNDB | Side B ground reference | Isolated return for OUT1–OUT6; critical for noise rejection |
| 10–12 OUT4–OUT6 | Unidirectional outputs (A→B) | Push-pull CMOS/TTL-compatible; drive loads directly without pullups |
| 13–15 OUT1–OUT3 | Unidirectional outputs (A→B) | Match IN1–IN3 mapping; enable full 6-channel forward data path |
| 16 VDDB | Side B power supply | Bypass with 0.1µF capacitor; sets logic levels for OUT1–OUT6 outputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar six-channel unidirectional digital isolator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI8660BB-B-IS | 25Mbps max data rate; 100ns propagation delay; 3.75kVRMS isolation rating | Suitable for lower-speed industrial I/O but not 200Mbps BMS or inverter control | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed and reinforced isolation needs |
| ADUM6601ARIZ-RL | Integrated isolated DC-DC converter; 25Mbps; 5kVRMS; 16-pin SOIC | Reduces external power supply count but consumes more board area and dissipates more heat | Choose when isolated side power delivery is required and 200Mbps is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX22666CAWE+?
The MAX22666CAWE+ supports a maximum data rate of 200Mbps under 2.25V–5.5V supply conditions. This is confirmed in the Dynamic Characteristics section for MAX2266_C/MAX2266_F variants. At lower supplies (1.71V–2.25V), the rated maximum drops to 150Mbps. The 200Mbps capability enables high-fidelity real-time feedback in EV inverter gate drivers and BMS cell monitoring.
Does the MAX22666CAWE+ support bidirectional communication?
No, the MAX22666CAWE+ implements six strictly unidirectional channels flowing from Side A (IN1–IN6) to Side B (OUT1–OUT6). Unlike the MAX22663–MAX22665 variants, it does not support reverse-direction signaling. This architecture eliminates contention risks and simplifies timing closure in isolated digital I/O and sensor interface applications.
What safety certifications apply to the MAX22666CAWE+?
The MAX22666CAWE+ is certified to UL1577 (5000VRMS) and cUL CSA Bulletin 5A, with VDE 0884-11 reinforced insulation pending. It meets IEC 60747-5-5 requirements for reinforced isolation, including 5kVRMS withstand voltage for 60 seconds and 848VRMS continuous working voltage-making it suitable for ASIL-B/C automotive subsystems.
How does the MAX22666CAWE+ handle undervoltage conditions?
The MAX22666CAWE+ monitors both VDDA and VDDB for undervoltage events using a 1.5V–1.66V threshold with 45mV hysteresis. During an undervoltage condition on either supply, all outputs default to high (as it is a C/F variant), regardless of input state. This fail-safe behavior ensures predictable operation during power sequencing or brownout events in automotive ECUs.
Can the MAX22666CAWE+ be used for level translation between different logic voltages?
Yes, the MAX22666CAWE+ supports independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on Side A (VDDA) and Side B (VDDB), enabling robust level translation-for example, interfacing a 1.8V microcontroller to a 5V sensor bus. Input thresholds scale with VDD_, and outputs swing rail-to-rail, eliminating external level shifters while maintaining signal integrity and timing accuracy.
