Description

The ADuM5210 / ADuM5211 / ADuM5212 are dual-channel digitalisolators with isoPower®, an integrated, isolated dc-to-dc converter. Based on the Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology, the dc-to-dc converter provides regulated, isolated power that is adjustablebetween 3.135 V and 5.25 V. Input supply voltages can range from slightly below the required output to significantly higher. Popularvoltage combinations and their associated power levels are shown in Table 2 in the data sheet.The ADuM5210 / ADuM5211 / ADuM5212 eliminate the need for aseparate, isolated dc-to-dc converter in low power, isolated designs.The iCoupler chip-scale transformer technology is used for isolatedlogic signals and for the magnetic components of the dc-to-dcconverter. The result is a small form factor, total isolationsolution.isoPower uses high frequency switching elements to transfer power through its transformer. Take special care during printed circuit board (PCB) layout to meet emissions standards.
