What this iCoupler does on your board
The ADUM240D0BRIZ is a 4-channel unidirectional digital isolator from Analog Devices' iCoupler series, using magnetic coupling to pass signals across a 5000 Vrms isolation barrier.
All four channels are unidirectional with inputs on Side 1 and outputs on Side 2 (4/0 configuration). That means this part is strictly a downstream isolator—data flows one way only. If you need bidirectional isolation (e.g., for a half-duplex RS-485 bus), you will need a part with mixed input/output counts like the ADUM242E0BRIZ (2/2). For a 3-channel version with the same 150 Mbps speed, look at the ADUM230E1BRIZ (3/0).
Temperature range and field reliability
The 75 kV/µs common-mode transient immunity means it will not glitch when a motor drive or inverter switches—a common failure point in noisy power-stage designs.
Package and mounting notes for the bench or field
Housed in a 16-pin SOIC wide-body (7.50 mm width) package, surface-mount only. No exposed pad to solder, so a standard reflow profile works. The wide-body gives good creepage distance for the 5000 Vrms rating—important if you are relying on this for safety isolation in medical or industrial gear. No socket options here, so plan for soldered replacement if you are in a repair scenario.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
ROHS3 compliant. If you need a variant with 2/2 channel direction for bidirectional isolation, the ADUM242D0BRIZ or ADUM242E0BRIZ are functional peers with the same 150 Mbps speed and package.
