Product details
Overview
MAX22666CAWE+T 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, 50kV/μs CMTI, and withstands 5kVRMS for 60s isolation voltage - enabling robust signal isolation in high-noise automotive BMS and inverter gate driver interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22666CAWE+T datasheet, MAX22666CAWE+T pinout, MAX22666CAWE+T application, or MAX22666CAWE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.71V–5.5V dual-supply flexibility, default-high output behavior, reinforced insulation certification (UL1577, cUL, VDE pending), and 6-channel unidirectional architecture optimized for isolated digital I/O and SPI slave-side signal routing.
Technical Context
The MAX22666CAWE+T implements Analog Devices' proprietary capacitive isolation technology with reinforced barrier construction, supporting independent 1.71V–5.5V supplies on Side A (VDDA/GNDA) and Side B (VDDB/GNDB). Its six channels are all unidirectional - transmitting exclusively from Side A to Side B - eliminating bidirectional contention and simplifying timing analysis in deterministic control loops.
It features integrated undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 1.6V threshold and 45mV hysteresis per supply rail, automatic output defaulting to high state during UVLO or input float, and a refresh circuit ensuring output stability during indefinite DC input conditions - critical for safety-critical automotive and industrial monitoring systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Rating | 5kVRMS for 60s (VISO); enables compliance with reinforced insulation requirements in IEC 61800-5-1 and ISO 26262 ASIL-B systems |
| Max Data Rate | 200Mbps - supports high-speed isolated SPI, digital encoder feedback, and real-time sensor streaming without oversampling penalty |
| Propagation Delay | 7ns typ at VDD = 3.3V - reduces system latency in closed-loop motor control and fast-response protection circuits |
| CMTI | 50kV/μs typ - maintains signal integrity during fast-switching transients in SiC/GaN inverter gate drive domains |
| Supply Range | 1.71V–5.5V per side - allows direct interfacing with 1.8V microcontrollers and 3.3V/5V peripherals without level shifters |
| Output Default | Default-high - ensures fail-safe logic-high assertion of enable signals or fault flags during power sequencing or input loss |
| Power @ 1Mbps | 0.71mW/channel at 1.8V - cuts total isolation power by >40% vs legacy optocouplers, easing thermal design in dense PCB layouts |

| 8 GNDA | Side A ground reference | Must be connected to local A-side ground plane; forms isolation barrier boundary with GNDB |
| 9 GNDB | Side B ground reference | Isolated return path for OUT1–OUT6; separates noisy power domain from sensitive controller domain |
| 10–12 OUT4–OUT6 | Unidirectional output channels (A→B) | Push-pull outputs driving B-side logic; default-high during UVLO or open input |
| 13–15 OUT1–OUT3 | Unidirectional output channels (A→B) | Identical drive strength and timing to OUT4–OUT6; full 6-channel output symmetry |

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; 20ns propagation delay; 35kV/μs CMTI; 3.3V-only supply range | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed industrial I/O where timing margin >20ns is acceptable | Select when 200Mbps speed and sub-10ns delay are not required, and 3.3V-only operation suffices |
| ADUM6601ARIZ-RL | Integrated isolated DC-DC converter; 25Mbps; 100kV/μs CMTI; 16-lead SOIC with different pinout | Eliminates need for external isolated power supply but adds complexity and cost for simple signal-only isolation | Choose only if isolated side power delivery is needed; otherwise MAX22666CAWE+T offers superior speed, lower power, and simpler layout |
Compared with SI8660BB-B-IS and ADUM6601ARIZ-RL, the MAX22666CAWE+T provides 8× higher data rate, 3× lower propagation delay, and 2.9× lower power at 1Mbps/1.8V - making it optimal for next-generation EV BMS, high-fidelity motor control, and compact medical I/O where speed, timing precision, and efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX22666CAWE+T?
The MAX22666CAWE+T supports a maximum data rate of 200Mbps under conditions of 2.25V ≤ VDD ≤ 5.5V. This rating is validated across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) and applies to all six unidirectional channels. At lower supply voltages (1.71V–2.25V), the maximum data rate is 150Mbps. The device maintains signal integrity at these speeds due to its 50kV/μs CMTI and low 7ns typical propagation delay.
Does the MAX22666CAWE+T support independent supply voltages on each side?
Yes, the MAX22666CAWE+T supports fully independent supply voltages: VDDA (Side A) and VDDB (Side B) can each be set from 1.71V to 5.5V. This enables true level translation - for example, interfacing a 1.8V FPGA on Side A to a 5V microcontroller on Side B. Each supply is monitored independently for undervoltage lockout, and outputs default to high state if either supply drops below 1.6V.
What is the isolation voltage rating of the MAX22666CAWE+T and which safety standards does it meet?
The MAX22666CAWE+T has a reinforced isolation rating of 5kVRMS for 60 seconds (VISO), 848VRMS working voltage (VIOWM), and ±12.8kV surge capability. It is certified to UL1577 (File E351759), cUL (CSA Bulletin 5A), and is pending VDE 0884-11 certification. These ratings satisfy reinforced insulation requirements for functional safety in automotive (ISO 26262) and industrial (IEC 61800-5-1) applications.
How does the MAX22666CAWE+T handle undervoltage conditions on its supply rails?
The MAX22666CAWE+T incorporates independent undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuitry on both VDDA and VDDB rails, with a 1.6V threshold and 45mV hysteresis. When either supply falls below UVLO threshold, all six outputs immediately transition to their default-high state - regardless of input state - ensuring fail-safe behavior during power-up, brownout, or supply sag events in automotive and industrial environments.
What is the pin configuration and channel directionality of the MAX22666CAWE+T?
The MAX22666CAWE+T is a 16-pin wide SOIC device with all six channels configured unidirectionally from Side A (pins 1–8) to Side B (pins 9–16). Inputs IN1–IN6 reside on Side A (pins 2–7), outputs OUT1–OUT6 on Side B (pins 10–15), with VDDA/GNDA on Side A and VDDB/GNDB on Side B. This A→B-only architecture eliminates bidirectional contention and simplifies PCB routing for isolated digital I/O expansion.
