ADUM1401CRWZ

The ADUM1401CRWZ is a Quad-Channel Digital Isolator based on Analogue Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology. Combining high speed CMOS and monolithic air core transformer technology, this isolation component provides an outstanding performance characteristics superior to alternatives, such as optocoupler devices. By avoiding the use of LEDs and photodiodes, iCoupler devices remove the design difficulties commonly associated with optocouplers. The typical optocoupler concerns regarding uncertain current transfer ratios, nonlinear transfer functions and temperature and lifetime effects are eliminated with the simple iCoupler digital interfaces and stable performance characteristics. The need for external drivers and other discrete components is eliminated with these iCoupler products. Furthermore, iCoupler devices consume 1/10th to 1/6th of the power of optocouplers at comparable signal data rates.
