Featured Product: ADuM540xW - Automotive Qualified Quad-Digital Isolators with isoPower®

Expanding our automotive portfolio, the ADuM5401, ADuM5402 and ADuM5403 established isoPower devices have undergone additional testing to achieve AEC-Q100 automotive qualification. The ADuM540xW incorporate isoPower, an integrated , isolated dc-to-dc converter technology, which provides up to 500mW of regulated, isolated power at 5V output. In a HEV application, this integration allows for power to be transferred across an isolation barrier ensuring monitoring of the battery without drawing from the battery's power. In addition to offering integrated, isolated power, the ADuM540x automotive qualified devices reduce board space by up to 70%, reduce power consumption by up to 50% and can cut costs up to 50% when compared to other solutions, such as optocouplers.

Automotive Grade Digital Isolators

The ADuM120x, ADuM130x and ADuM140x families of iCoupler devices have recently achieved AEC-Q100 automotive qualification. These established families of iCoupler digital isolators are now qualified for under-the-hood operation up to 125°C. Available in 8- and 16-lead SOIC packaging with data rates up to 25 Mbps, 3.0 to 5.5V level translation and low power consumption, the ADuM120x, ADuM130x, and ADuM140x products can be used in hybrid vehicle applications such as battery monitoring, gate drive for hybrid electric motor, dc-to-ac inverters, and electronic power steering. These automotive qualified products can also be employed in all vehicle types when being used as an interface for sensor clusters.

Automotive Enhancements

In order to earn AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive applications our established iCoupler families have been tested in a manner which guarantee operations up to 125°C. Multiple performance grades are available as the below chart demonstrates.

• Max. Working Voltage - 400V rms
• Isolation Rating (1 minute) - 2.5 kV rms
