The ADUM4160BRWZ-RL is a part of Analog Devices, specifically under their isolation products category. This model is a digital isolator which is used for providing isolation between two systems while allowing signal transmission. It specifically uses Analog Devices' iCoupler® technology for isolation.
Package Type and Pinout Specifications:
Package Type: The ADUM4160BRWZ-RL comes in an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package. Pin Count: It has 8 pins in total. Pin Function List for ADUM4160BRWZ-RL: Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function 1 VDD1 Positive power supply for side 1 (input) 2 VSS1 Ground for side 1 (input) 3 DIN Data input (digital signal input) 4 DOUT Data output (digital signal output) 5 VSS2 Ground for side 2 (output) 6 VDD2 Positive power supply for side 2 (output) 7 EN Enable pin (enables or disables the output) 8 NC No Connection (This pin is not connected internally)Circuit Principle:
VDD1 and VDD2 provide power to the input and output sides of the isolator, respectively. VSS1 and VSS2 are the ground pins for both sides. DIN is the data input pin on the input side, where the signal is transmitted to the isolator. DOUT is the data output pin on the output side, where the isolated signal is sent. EN (Enable) pin is used to enable or disable the output. When this pin is low, the output is disabled. NC is an unused pin and doesn’t serve any function in the circuit.20 FAQ Common Questions for ADUM4160BRWZ-RL:
Q: What is the function of the VDD1 pin in ADUM4160BRWZ-RL? A: The VDD1 pin provides the positive power supply for the input side (side 1) of the isolator.
Q: What does the VSS1 pin do in the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL? A: The VSS1 pin is the ground pin for the input side (side 1) of the isolator.
Q: How does the DIN pin work in ADUM4160BRWZ-RL? A: The DIN pin is the data input for the isolator. It receives a digital signal from the source.
Q: What is the function of the DOUT pin? A: The DOUT pin is the data output pin. It transmits the isolated digital signal to the output side.
Q: Can I use the EN pin to disable the output? A: Yes, the EN pin is used to enable or disable the output. When low, the output is disabled.
Q: Does the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL have any internal connections on the NC pin? A: No, the NC pin is not connected internally and does not serve any functional purpose.
Q: How is the power supply for the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL provided? A: The power supply is provided through the VDD1 and VDD2 pins, which supply power to the input and output sides, respectively.
Q: What are the voltage requirements for VDD1 and VDD2? A: VDD1 and VDD2 typically require a voltage of 2.7V to 5.5V for proper operation.
Q: Can I operate the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL with a single power supply? A: No, the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL requires two separate power supplies—one for the input side (VDD1) and one for the output side (VDD2).
Q: What is the operating temperature range for the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL? A: The operating temperature range is from -40°C to +125°C.
Q: Is the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL suitable for high-speed data transmission? A: Yes, the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL is designed for high-speed digital signal transmission with low propagation delay.
Q: What are the typical applications for the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL? A: It is commonly used in industrial control, automotive, and consumer electronics applications where isolation is required between two systems.
Q: What is the role of the VSS2 pin in the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL? A: VSS2 is the ground pin for the output side (side 2) of the isolator.
Q: Can I use the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL for power isolation? A: No, it is specifically designed for signal isolation, not for isolating power supplies.
Q: How do I use the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL in a circuit? A: Connect VDD1 to the power supply of the input side, VDD2 to the power supply of the output side, DIN to the input signal, and DOUT to the output signal. Use VSS1 and VSS2 as grounds for each side, and connect the EN pin to control the output.
Q: Is there a recommended PCB layout for the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL? A: For optimal performance, the layout should minimize noise and provide adequate decoupling capacitor s close to the VDD pins.
Q: How do I know if the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL is functioning correctly? A: Ensure that both VDD pins are properly powered, and check the output signal from DOUT when DIN is providing a valid input signal.
Q: What is the isolation voltage rating of the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL? A: The isolation voltage rating is typically 2500V RMS.
Q: Does the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL have a built-in failure indicator? A: No, the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL does not have a built-in failure indicator. However, monitoring the output signal can provide insight into proper operation.
Q: Can I use the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL for low-speed signals? A: Yes, the ADUM4160BRWZ-RL can handle both low-speed and high-speed digital signals, making it versatile for a range of applications.
