Two-channel digital isolator for noisy industrial links
The ADUM121N1BRZ is a two-channel, unidirectional digital isolator from the iCoupler family, using magnetic coupling. It delivers 150Mbps across a 3000Vrms barrier, with 13ns propagation delay and 3ns pulse-width distortion.
75kV/µs CMTI — the spec that keeps data clean in a motor drive
Common-mode transient immunity is rated at 75kV/µs minimum. That is the number to watch when the isolator sits between a microcontroller and a gate-driver on a 48V or 400V inverter bus — fast switching edges couple common-mode noise across the barrier, and if the CMTI is too low, the output glitches. 75kV/µs handles the dV/dt from SiC and GaN stages comfortably. Rise and fall times are 2.5ns typical, so the output edges stay sharp enough for 150Mbps NRZ data without excessive ringing.
