Analog Devices has introduced its smallest isolated DC-DC converter.
Offering a 5kV rms (root-mean square) isolation rating in a 10mm x 10mm package, the ADuM6000 is a 0.5W device which uses the company’s iCoupler digital isolation technology and isoPower dc-to-dc converter.
iCoupler transformers are planar structures formed from CMOS and gold metal layers. A high breakdown polyimide layer underneath the gold layer insulates the top transformer coil from the bottom.
CMOS circuits connected to the top coil and bottom coil provide the interface between each transformer and its external signals.
Also available are the ADuM620x series of dual-channel digital isolators that feature isoPower integrated, isolated DC-DC converter technology and 5kV rms isolation rating.
The ADuM620x series includes the ADuM6200, ADuM6201 and ADuM6202 digital isolation products that differ by channel configuration.
In some designs requiring USB isolation and isolated power, the ADuM4160 USB isolator can be used together with the ADuM6xxx devices.
