GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM54041 are
quad-channel digital isolators with isoPower®, an integrated,
isolated dc-to-dc converter. Based on the Analog Devices, Inc.,
iCoupler® technology, the dc-to-dc converter provides up to
500 mW of regulated, isolated power at either 5.0 V or 3.3 V
from a 5.0 V input supply, or at 3.3 V from a 3.3 V supply at the
power levels shown in Table 1. These devices eliminate the need
for a separate, isolated dc-to-dc converter in low power, isolated
designs. The iCoupler chip scale transformer technology is used
to isolate the logic signals and for the power and feedback paths
in the dc-to-dc converter. The result is a small form factor, total
isolation solution.
The ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 isolators
provide four independent isolation channels in a variety of
channel configurations and data rates (see the Ordering Guide
for more information).
isoPower uses high frequency switching elements to transfer
power through its transformer. Special care must be taken
during printed circuit board (PCB) layout to meet emissions
standards. See the AN-0971 Application Note for board layout
recommendations.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The dc-to-dc converter section of the ADuM5401/ADuM5402/
ADuM5403/ADuM5404 works on principles that are common to
most switching power supplies. It has a secondary side controller
architecture with isolated pulse-width modulation (PWM)
feedback. V
power is supplied to an oscillating circuit that
DD1
switches current into a chip scale air core transformer. Power
transferred to the secondary side is rectified and regulated to
either 3.3 V or 5 V. The secondary (V
) side controller regulates
ISO
the output by creating a PWM control signal that is sent to the
primary (V
) side by a dedicated iCoupler data channel. The
DD1
PWM modulates the oscillator circuit to control the power being
sent to the secondary side. Feedback allows for significantly higher
power and efficiency.
The ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 implement
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis on the V
DD1
power
input. This feature ensures that the converter does not enter
oscillation due to noisy input power or slow power-on ramp rates.
PCB LAYOUT
The ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 digital
isolators with 0.5 W isoPower integrated dc-to-dc converter
require no external interface circuitry for the logic interfaces.
Power supply bypassing is required at the input and output
supply pins (see Figure 25). Note that low ESR bypass capacitors
are required between Pin 1 and Pin 2 and between Pin 15 and
Pin 16, as close to the chip pads as possible.
The power supply section of the ADuM5401/ADuM5402/
ADuM5403/ADuM5404 uses a 180 MHz oscillator frequency
to pass power efficiently through its chip scale transformers. In
addition, the normal operation of the data section of the iCoupler
introduces switching transients on the power supply pins. Bypass
capacitors are required for several operating frequencies. Noise
suppression requires a low inductance, high frequency capacitor;
ripple suppression and proper regulation require a large value
capacitor. These are most conveniently connected between Pin 1
and Pin 2 for V
To suppress noise and reduce ripple, a parallel combination of
at least two capacitors is required. The recommended capacitor
values are 0.1 μF and 10 μF for V
capacitor must have a low ESR; for example, use of a ceramic
capacitor is advised.
The total lead length between the ends of the low ESR capacitor
and the input power supply pin must not exceed 2 mm. Installing
the bypass capacitor with traces more than 2 mm in length may
result in data corruption. Consider bypassing between Pin 1 and
Pin 8 and between Pin 9 and Pin 16 unless both common ground
pins are connected together close to the package.

In applications involving high common-mode transients, ensure
that board coupling across the isolation barrier is minimized.
Furthermore, design the board layout such that any coupling that
does occur affects all pins equally on a given component side.
Failure to ensure this can cause voltage differentials between
pins exceeding the absolute maximum ratings for the device
as specified in Table 19, thereby leading to latch-up and/or
permanent damage.
The ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 are power
devices that dissipate approximately 1 W of power when fully
loaded and running at maximum speed. Because it is not possible
to apply a heat sink to an isolation device, the devices primarily
depend on heat dissipation into the PCB through the GND
pins. If the devices are used at high ambient temperatures, provide
a thermal path from the GND pins to the PCB ground plane.
The board layout in Figure 25 shows enlarged pads for Pin 8 and
Pin 9. Large diameter vias should be implemented from the pad to
the ground, and power planes should be used to reduce inductance.
Multiple vias should be implemented from the pad to the ground
plane to significantly reduce the temperature inside the chip.
The dimensions of the expanded pads are at the discretion of
the designer and depend on the available board space.
THERMAL ANALYSIS
The ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 parts
consist of four internal die attached to a split lead frame with two
die attach paddles. For the purposes of thermal analysis, the die
is treated as a thermal unit, with the highest junction temperature
reflected in the θ
measurements taken with the parts mounted on a JEDEC standard,
4-layer board with fine width traces and still air. Under normal
operating conditions, the ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/
ADuM5404 devices operate at full load across the full temperature
range without derating the output current. However, following the
recommendations in the PCB Layout section decreases thermal
resistance to the PCB, allowing increased thermal margins in
high ambient temperatures.

PROPAGATION DELAY-RELATED PARAMETERS
Propagation delay is a parameter that describes the time it takes
a logic signal to propagate through a component (see Figure 26).
The propagation delay to a logic low output may differ from the
propagation delay to a logic high.
Figure 26. Propagation Delay Parameters
Pulse width distortion is the maximum difference between
these two propagation delay values and is an indication of
how accurately the input signal timing is preserved.
Channel-to-channel matching refers to the maximum amount
the propagation delay differs between channels within a single
ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 component.
Propagation delay skew refers to the maximum amount the
propagation delay differs between multiple ADuM5401/
ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 components operating
under the same conditions.
START-UP BEHAVIOR
The ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 do not
contain a soft start circuit. Therefore, the start-up current and
voltage behavior must be taken into account when designing
with this device.
When power is applied to V
to operate and draw current when the UVLO minimum voltage
is reached. The switching circuit drives the maximum available
power to the output until it reaches the regulation voltage where
PWM control begins. The amount of current and the time
required to reach regulation voltage depends on the load and

because V
is nearly constant at the 2.7 V UVLO voltage. The

short circuit; these values are consistent with the short-circuit
current shown in Figure 14.

As a result, the ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404
devices can draw large amounts of current at low voltage for
extended periods of time.
The output voltage of the ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/
ADuM5404 devices exhibits V
overshoot during startup. If
ISO
this overshoot could potentially damage components attached
to V
, a voltage-limiting device such as a Zener diode can be
ISO
used to clamp the voltage. Typical behavior is shown in Figure 19
and Figure 20.
EMI CONSIDERATIONS
The dc-to-dc converter section of the ADuM5401/ADuM5402/
ADuM5403/ADuM5404 devices must operate at 180 MHz to
allow efficient power transfer through the small transformers.
This creates high frequency currents that can propagate in circuit
board ground and power planes, causing edge emissions and
dipole radiation between the primary and secondary ground
planes. Grounded enclosures are recommended for applications
that use these devices. If grounded enclosures are not possible,
follow good RF design practices in the layout of the PCB. See the
AN-0971 Application Note for board layout recommendations
DC CORRECTNESS AND MAGNETIC FIELD IMMUNITY
Positive and negative logic transitions at the isolator input cause
narrow (~1 ns) pulses to be sent to the decoder via the transformer.
The decoder is bistable and is, therefore, either set or reset by the
pulses, indicating input logic transitions. In the absence of logic
transitions at the input for more than 1 µs, a periodic set of refresh
pulses indicative of the correct input state is sent to ensure dc
correctness at the output. If the decoder receives no internal pulses
for more than approximately 5 µs, the input side is assumed to
be unpowered or nonfunctional, and the isolator output is forced to
a default low state by the watchdog timer circuit. This situation
should occur in the ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/
ADuM5404 during power-up and power-down operations.
The limitation on the magnetic field immunity of the
ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 is set by the
condition in which induced voltage in the receiving coil of the
transformer is sufficiently large to either falsely set or reset the
decoder. The following analysis defines the conditions under
which this may occur. The 3.3 V operating condition of the
ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 is examined
because it represents the most susceptible mode of operation.
The pulses at the transformer output have an amplitude greater
than 1.0 V. The decoder has a sensing threshold at approximately
0.5 V, thus establishing a 0.5 V margin in which induced voltages
can be tolerated. The voltage induced across the receiving coil is
given by
V = (−dβ/dt)∑πr
where:
β is the magnetic flux density (gauss).
r
is the radius of the nth turn in the receiving coil (cm).

Given the geometry of the receiving coil in the ADuM5401/
ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404, and an imposed
requirement that the induced voltage be, at most, 50% of the
0.5 V margin at the decoder, a maximum allowable magnetic
field is calculated as shown in Figure 27.
Note that, at combinations of strong magnetic field and high
frequency, any loops formed by PCB traces can induce error
voltages sufficiently large to trigger the thresholds of succeeding
circuitry. Exercise care in the layout of such traces to avoid this
possibility.

Figure 27. Maximum Allowable External Magnetic Flux Density
For example, at a magnetic field frequency of 1 MHz, the maximum
allowable magnetic field of 0.2 kgauss induces a voltage of 0.25 V at
the receiving coil. This voltage is approximately 50% of the sensing
threshold and does not cause a faulty output transition. Similarly, if
such an event occurs during a transmitted pulse (and is of the
worst-case polarity), it reduces the received pulse from >1.0 V to
0.75 V, still well above the 0.5 V sensing threshold of the decoder.
The preceding magnetic flux density values correspond to specific
current magnitudes at given distances from the ADuM5401/
expresses these allowable current magnitudes as a function of
frequency for selected distances. As shown in Figure 28, the
ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 are extremely
immune and can be affected only by extremely large currents
operated at high frequency very close to the component. For the
1 MHz example, a 0.5 kA current placed 5 mm away from the
ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 is required
to affect the operation of the device.

POWER CONSIDERATIONS
The ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 power
input, data input channels on the primary side, and data channels
on the secondary side are all protected from premature operation
by undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuitry. Below the minimum
operating voltage, the power converter holds its oscillator inactive
and all input channel drivers and refresh circuits are idle. Outputs
remain in a high impedance state to prevent transmission of
undefined states during power-up and power-down operations.
During application of power to V
is held idle until the UVLO preset voltage is reached. At that
time, the data channels initialize to their default low output
state until they receive data pulses from the secondary side.
When the primary side is above the UVLO threshold, the data
input channels sample their inputs and begin sending encoded
pulses to the inactive secondary output channels. The outputs
on the primary side remain in their default low state because no
data comes from the secondary side inputs until secondary side
power is established. The primary side oscillator also begins to
operate, transferring power to the secondary power circuits.
The secondary V
voltage is below its UVLO limit at this
ISO
point; the regulation control signal from the secondary side
is not being generated. The primary side power oscillator is
allowed to free run under these conditions, supplying the
maximum amount of power to the secondary side.
As the secondary side voltage rises to its regulation setpoint,
a large inrush current transient is present at V
regulation point is reached, the regulation control circuit produces
the regulation control signal that modulates the oscillator on the
primary side. The V
current is then reduced and is propor-
DD1
tional to the load current. The inrush current is less than the
short-circuit current shown in Figure 14. The duration of the
inrush current depends on the V

As the secondary side converter begins to accept power from the
primary, the V
voltage starts to rise. When the secondary side
ISO
UVLO is reached, the secondary side outputs are initialized to
their default low state until data is received from the corresponding
primary side input. It can take up to 1 μs after the secondary
side is initialized for the state of the output to correlate to the
primary side input.
Secondary side inputs sample their state and transmit it to the
primary side. Outputs are valid about 1 μs after the secondary
side becomes active.
Because the rate of charge of the secondary side power supply is
dependent on loading conditions, the input voltage, and the output
voltage level selected, take care that the design allows the converter
sufficient time to stabilize before valid data is required.
When power is removed from V
, the primary side converter

and coupler shut down when the UVLO level is reached. The
secondary side stops receiving power and starts to discharge.
The outputs on the secondary side hold the last state that they
received from the primary side. Either the UVLO level is reached
and the outputs are placed in their high impedance state, or the
outputs detect a lack of activity from the primary side inputs and
the outputs are set to their default low value before the secondary
power reaches UVLO.

while sharing output power equally.
The ADuM5401/ADuM5402/ADuM5403/ADuM5404 can only
be a master/standalone, and the ADuM5200 can only be a slave/

INSULATION LIFETIME
All insulation structures eventually break down when subjected to
voltage stress over a sufficiently long period. The rate of insulation
degradation is dependent on the characteristics of the voltage
waveform applied across the insulation. In addition to the testing
performed by the regulatory agencies, Analog Devices carries
out an extensive set of evaluations to determine the lifetime
of the insulation structure within the ADuM5401/ADuM5402/
ADuM5403/ADuM5404 devices.
Analog Devices performs accelerated life testing using voltage levels
higher than the rated continuous working voltage. Acceleration
factors for several operating conditions are determined. These
factors allow calculation of the time to failure at the actual working
voltage. The values shown in Table 20 summarize the peak voltage
for 50 years of service life for a bipolar ac operating condition
and the maximum CSA/VDE approved working voltages. In
many cases, the approved working voltage is higher than the
50-year service life voltage. Operation at these high working
voltages can lead to shortened insulation life in some cases.
The insulation lifetime of the ADuM5401/ADuM5402/
ADuM5403/ADuM5404 devices depends on the voltage wave-
form type imposed across the isolation barrier. The iCoupler
insulation structure degrades at different rates depending on
whether the waveform is bipolar ac, unipolar ac, or dc. Figure 30,
Figure 31, and Figure 32 illustrate these different isolation
voltage waveforms.
Bipolar ac voltage is the most stringent environment. The goal
of a 50-year operating lifetime under the bipolar ac condition
determines the maximum working voltage recommended by
Analog Devices.
In the case of unipolar ac or dc voltage, the stress on the insulation
is significantly lower. This allows operation at higher working
voltages while still achieving a 50-year service life. The working
voltages listed in Table 20 can be applied while maintaining the
50-year minimum lifetime, provided that the voltage conforms
to either the unipolar ac or dc voltage cases.
Any cross-insulation voltage waveform that does not conform
to Figure 31 or Figure 32 should be treated as a bipolar ac waveform and its peak voltage limited to the 50-year lifetime voltage
value listed in Table 20. The voltage presented in Figure 32 is
shown as sinusoidal for illustration purposes only. It is meant to
represent any voltage waveform varying between 0 V and some
limiting value. The limiting value can be positive or negative,
but the voltage cannot cross 0 V.
