Product details

It delivers 150Mbps data rate across a 5000Vrms isolation barrier, with propagation delay of 7.5ns max and pulse width distortion of 1ns max. The supply range spans 1.71V to 5.5V, letting it bridge voltage domains from 1.8V logic up to 5V systems.

The 150Mbps data rate is the headline throughput spec. At this speed the isolator handles full-rate SPI clock lines (up to 75 MHz DDR or 150 Mbps SDR) without bit errors. The 1.71V to 5.5V supply range means the part operates on a 5V rail directly — no external level shifter needed when interfacing 5V peripherals or legacy logic. The 2ns typical rise/fall time keeps signal integrity clean at these edge rates, but the fast edges also mean the PCB layout needs controlled impedance traces if the isolation channel runs longer than a few centimetres.

5000Vrms isolation is a reinforced-grade rating for mains-connected equipment. It satisfies the 250V working voltage requirement for industrial and medical PSUs with margin. At 25kV/µs typical, the MAX14934FAWE+ holds the data path clean through those transients. The 7.5ns max propagation delay (7.4ns tpHL) gives 13.3% of a 150 Mbps bit period as timing margin — enough for most isolated SPI links, but check setup/hold if the bus runs at full rate with multiple isolators in series.

ROHS3 compliant.

Frequently asked questions

Does MAX14934FAWE+ support 150Mbps data rate and 5V rail?

Yes. The MAX14934FAWE+ is rated for 150Mbps data rate and operates across a 1.71V to 5.5V supply range, so it works directly on a 5V rail without additional level translation.

Is MAX14934FAWE+ suitable for SPI isolation?

Yes. The 150Mbps data rate and 7.5ns max propagation delay handle full-rate SPI clock lines up to 75 MHz (DDR) or 150 Mbps (SDR). The 4 unidirectional channels map directly to SPI signals: SCLK, MOSI, MISO, and CS. The 2ns typical rise/fall time preserves signal edges, but layout must control impedance for longer traces.

How does MAX14934FAWE+ compare to ADuM1400?

Both are 4-channel unidirectional digital isolators in wide-body SOIC-16 packages. The MAX14934FAWE+ uses capacitive coupling and is rated for 150Mbps data rate with 7.5ns propagation delay. The ADuM1400 uses iCoupler magnetic coupling with a typical data rate of 90 Mbps and propagation delay around 32ns. The MAX14934FAWE+ offers higher speed and lower latency for applications like isolated SPI where timing margin is critical.
