The ADUM1250ARZ is based on Analog Devices' iCoupler® technology, which uses micro-transformers to provide galvanic isolation between digital circuits, thereby protecting circuits from high-voltage surges or noise. It operates in differential mode, with the input and output signals each being transmitted with positive and negative signals. The device uses two channels, offering high data rate communication and reliable isolation.
VDD1 and VDD2: These are the supply voltage pins for the input and output sides, respectively. These should be connected to a regulated power source to provide proper operation. IN1+ / IN1- and IN2+ / IN2-: These are the differential input signal pins. The input signals are differential, meaning that the signal is transmitted in both positive and negative forms. OUT1+ / OUT1- and OUT2+ / OUT2-: These are the differential output signal pins. After processing the input signal, the device transmits the output signal in differential mode as well.20 Common FAQs
