GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The ADuM1440/ADuM1441/ADuM1442/ADuM1445/ 
ADuM1446/ADuM1447

 are micropower, 4-channel digital 
isolators based on the Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology. 
Combining high speed, complementary metal oxide semiconductor 
(CMOS) and monolithic air core transformer technologies, 
these isolation components provide outstanding performance 
characteristics superior to the alternatives, such as optocoupler 
devices. As shown in Figure 3, in standard operating mode, 
when EN
x
 = 0 (internal refresh enabled), the current per channel is 
less than 10 μA. When EN
x
 = 1 (internal refresh disabled), the 
current per channel drops to less than 1 μA. 
The ADuM1440/ADuM1441/ADuM1442/ADuM1445/ 
ADuM1446/ADuM1447 family of quad 2.5 kV digital isolation 
devices are packaged in a small 16-lead QSOP and 20-lead SSOP,

freeing almost 70% of board space compared to isolators packages 
in wide body SOIC packages. 
The devices withstand high isolation voltages and meet regulatory 
requirements, such as UL and CSA standards. In addition to the 
space savings, the ADuM1440/ADuM1441/ADuM1442/ 
ADuM1445/ADuM1446/ADuM1447 operate with supplies as 
low as 2.25 V. 
Despite the low power consumption, all models of the ADuM1440/ 
ADuM1441/ADuM1442/ADuM1445/ADuM1446/ADuM1447 
provide low, pulse width distortion at <8 ns. In addition, every 
model has an input glitch filter to protect against extraneous 
noise disturbances.
