MAX2216x Series of Digital Isolators

ADI's MAX22163, MAX22164, MAX22165, and MAX22166 are a family of six-channel, reinforced, fast, low-power digital galvanic isolators using Analog Devices’ proprietary process technology. All devices feature reinforced isolation with a withstand voltage rating of 3 kV_RMS for 60 seconds. Both automotive and general-purpose devices are rated for operation at ambient temperatures from -40°C to +125°C. Devices with /V suffix are AEC-Q100 qualified. See the ordering information for all automotive grade part numbers.

The MAX22163 features three channels transmitting digital signals in one direction and three in the opposite. The MAX22164 offers four channels transmitting digital signals in one direction and two in the opposite. The MAX22165 provides five channels transmitting digital signals in one direction and one in the opposite. The MAX22166 features all six channels transmitting digital signals in one direction.

These devices transfer digital signals between circuits with different power domains, using as little as 0.71 mW per channel at 1 Mbps (1.8 V supply). The low-power feature reduces system dissipation, increases reliability, and enables compact designs. Devices are available with a maximum data rate of 25 Mbps or 200 Mbps and with default-high or default-low outputs. The devices feature low propagation delay and low clock jitter, which reduces system latency.

Independent 1.71 V to 5.5 V supplies on each side also make the devices suitable for use as level translators.

The MAX22563 and MAX22566 evaluation kits (EV kits) provide a proven design to evaluate the MAX22563 and MAX22566, a family of reinforced, six-channel, galvanic digital isolators in a 20-pin SSOP package. Two types of evaluation boards are available to support different channel direction configurations and selectable output default settings of the MAX22563 and MAX22566 families. The MAX22565CAEVKIT# is fully assembled, tested, and populated with the MAX22565CAAP+. The MAX2256XAEVKIT# is a generic board with U1 unpopulated, allowing users to select a device from the MAX22563 or MAX22566 family. Both evaluation boards support the 20-pin SSOP package type only.
