Product details

150 Mbps dual-channel isolator with 75 kV/µs CMTI

The ADUM121N0BRZ is a two-channel, unidirectional digital isolator from Analog Devices' iCoupler family, built on magnetic coupling technology. It pushes 150 Mbps per channel with 2.5 ns typical rise/fall times, making it a fit for high-speed serial links like SPI, UART, or isolated CAN transceiver interfaces. The 75 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) is the standout spec here — that's the rating that matters when you're isolating across a noisy motor-drive bus or a switched-mode power supply where fast voltage edges try to punch through the barrier. Propagation delay is a symmetrical 13 ns max, and pulse-width distortion stays under 3 ns, so the duty cycle stays clean at speed.

Supply flexibility and temperature range

The 3000 Vrms isolation rating is basic insulation for 240 VAC line applications; for reinforced insulation you'd need to check the system-level creepage and clearance distances on the PCB.

Package, mounting, and compliance

Housed in an 8-pin SOIC-8 (3.90 mm width) package, surface-mount only. No isolated power on board — this is a pure signal isolator; you'll need a separate isolated DC-DC converter if the secondary side needs its own supply rail. The active lifecycle status means ADI is still manufacturing this code, so no last-time-buy pressure for new designs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ADUM121N0BRZ used for?

The ADUM121N0BRZ is a general-purpose dual-channel digital isolator used to pass digital signals across a galvanic isolation barrier. Typical applications include isolating SPI or UART lines between a microcontroller and a motor driver, isolated sensor interfaces, isolated CAN transceivers, and breaking ground loops in industrial control and instrumentation systems.

Does ADUM121N0BRZ have an equivalent or replacement?

The closest functional peer within the same iCoupler series is the ADUM121N1BRZ — same data rate, same isolation voltage, same package, same temperature range. The only difference is the input/output configuration: the ADUM121N0BRZ has 1 input on side 1 and 1 input on side 2 (1/1), while the ADUM121N1BRZ has the same 1/1 channel arrangement but with reversed direction on one channel. For a three-channel option, the ADUM131D0BRZ offers 2 inputs on side 1 and 1 on side 2. Neither is a direct pin-compatible drop-in without checking the channel direction map.

Is ADUM121N0BRZ compatible with 3.3V logic?

Yes. You can power side 1 at 3.3 V and side 2 at 3.3 V, or mix 1.8 V on one side and 3.3 V on the other — no extra level translation needed.
