Selection Guide

Choose ADUM3161BRWZ-RL7 when you need a 6-channel digital isolator with high speed (150Mbps) and high isolation (3000Vrms) in a wide SOIC-16 package. It is ideal for industrial automation, motor control, and isolated SPI. If you prefer a narrow SOIC-16 package, consider ADUM161N1BRZ-RL7 (same specs, different package). For lower isolation requirements (2500Vrms), SI8661BB-B-IS1 is an alternative. For lower data rate (100Mbps), ISO7761DW is an option. All alternatives are drop-in compatible in terms of pinout, but verify package dimensions and channel configuration before substitution.

  • Wider supply voltage range than ISO7761DW (vs ISO7761DW)

Design Notes

For optimal isolation performance, maintain proper creepage and clearance distances on the PCB. The wide SOIC-16 package provides 8mm creepage, but ensure the PCB layout also maintains at least 8mm spacing between the isolated grounds. Use a solid ground plane under the device to reduce noise coupling.

Place 0.1Β΅F bypass capacitors close to each VDD pin (VDD1 and VDD2) to decouple high-frequency noise. Additionally, use a 10Β΅F bulk capacitor on each supply rail if the power source is far from the device. This ensures stable operation and reduces supply-induced jitter.

Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings for supply voltage (7V) or input/output voltages. Ensure that the input signals do not exceed the supply voltage by more than 0.3V. Also, avoid floating unused inputs; tie them to GND or VDD as appropriate to prevent undefined states.
