Reinforced, Fast, Low-Power, Four-Channel Digital Isolators

General Description
The MAX22444�MAX22446 are reinforced, fast, lowpower 4-channel digital galvanic isolators using Maxim's proprietary process technology. These devices transfer digital signals between circuits with different power domains, using as little as 0.74mW per channel at 1Mbps (1.8V supply). All of the devices in the family feature reinforced isolation for a withstand voltage rating of 5kVRMS for 60 seconds.
The MAX22444�MAX22446 family offers all possible unidirectional channel configurations to accommodate any 4-channel design, including SPI, RS-485, and digital I/O applications. Output enable for the A side of the MAX22445R/S/U/V is active-low, making them ideal for isolating a port on a shared SPI bus since the CS signal can directly enable the MISO signal on the isolator. All other output enables in the MAX22444-MAX22446 family are the traditional active-high.
All channels on the MAX22444�MAX22446M/N are always enabled, however, the default state of the outputs of these devices is selectable.
Devices are available with a maximum data rate of either 25Mbps or 200Mbps, and with outputs that are either default-high or default-low. The default is the state the output assumes when the input is either not powered or is opencircuit. See the Ordering Information and Product Selector Guide for suffixes associated with each option. Independent 1.71V to 5.5V supplies on each side of the isolator also make the devices suitable for use as level translators.
All of the devices in the MAX22444�MAX22446 family are available in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package with 8mm of creepage and clearance. The package material has a minimum comparative tracking index (CTI) of 400V, which gives it a group II rating in creepage tables. All devices are rated for operation at ambient temperatures of -40�C to +125�C.

Safety Limits
Damage to the IC can result in a low-resistance path to ground or to the supply and, without current limiting, the MAX22444-MAX22446 could dissipate excessive amounts of power. Excessive power dissipation can damage the die and result in damage to the isolation barrier, potentially causing downstream issues. Table 2 shows the safety limits for the MAX22444-MAX22446.
The maximum safety temperature (TS) for the device is the 150�C maximum junction temperature specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings. The power dissipation (PD) and junction-to-ambient thermal impedance (JA) deter-

mine the junction temperature. Thermal impedance values (JA and JC) are available in the Package Thermal Characteristics section of the datasheet and power dissipation calculations are discussed in the Calculating Power Dissipation section. Calculate the junction temperature (TJ) as:
TJ = TA + (PD x JA)
Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the thermal derating curve for safety limiting the power and the current of the device. Ensure that the junction temperature does not exceed 150�C.

MAX22444�MAX22446

Reinforced, Fast, Low-Power, Four-Channel Digital Isolators

Detailed Description
The MAX22444�MAX22446 are a family of 4-channel reinforced digital isolators. The MAX22444�MAX22446 have an isolation rating of 5kVRMS. The MAX22444MAX22446 family offers all possible unidirectional channel configurations to accommodate any 4-channel design, including SPI, RS-232, RS-485, and digital I/O applications. For applications requiring bidirectional channels, such as I2C, see the MAX14933 and MAX14937.
The MAX22444 features four channels transferring digital signals in one direction for applications such as isolated digital I/O. The MAX22445 has three channels transmitting data in one direction and one channel transmitting in the opposite direction, making them ideal for applications such as isolated SPI and RS-485 communication. The MAX22446 provides further design flexibility with two channels in each direction for isolated RS-232 or other applications.
Devices are available in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package and are rated for up to 5kVRMS. This family of digital isolators offers low-power operation, high electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity, and stable temperature performance through Maxim's proprietary process technology. The devices isolate different ground domains and block high-voltage/high-current transients from sensitive or human interface circuitry.
Devices are available with a maximum data rate of either 25Mbps (B/E/M/R/U versions) or 200Mbps (C/F/N/S/V versions). The MAX2244_B/C/R/S feature default-high outputs. The MAX2244_E/F/U/V feature default-low outputs. The MAX2244_M/N feature user-selectable default-high or default-low outputs. The default is the state the output assumes when the input is not powered or if the input is open-circuit. The devices have two supply inputs (VDDA and VDDB) that independently set the logic levels on either side of the device. VDDA and VDDB are referenced to GNDA and GNDB, respectively. The MAX22444-MAX22446 also

feature a refresh circuit to ensure output accuracy when an input remains in the same state indefinitely.
Digital Isolation
The MAX22444-MAX22446 provide reinforced galvanic isolation for digital signals that are transmitted between two ground domains. The devices withstand differences of up to 5kVRMS for up to 60 seconds, and up to 2121VPEAK of continuous isolation.
Level-Shifting
The wide supply voltage range of both VDDA and VDDB allows the MAX22444-MAX22446 to be used for level translation in addition to isolation. VDDA and VDDB can be independently set to any voltage from 1.71V to 5.5V. The supply voltage sets the logic level on the corresponding side of the isolator.
Unidirectional Channels
Each channel of the MAX22444-MAX22446 is unidirectional; it only passes data in one direction, as indicated in the functional diagram. Each device features four unidirectional channels that operate independently with guaranteed data rates from DC up to 25Mbps (B/E/M/R/U versions), or from DC to 200Mbps (C/F/N/S/V versions). The output driver of each channel is push-pull, eliminating the need for pullup resistors. The outputs are able to drive both TTL and CMOS logic inputs.
Startup and Undervoltage-Lockout
The VDDA and VDDB supplies are both internally monitored for undervoltage conditions. Undervoltage events can occur during power-up, power-down, or during normal operation due to a sagging supply voltage. When an undervoltage condition is detected on either supply while the outputs are enabled, all outputs go to their default states regardless of the state of the inputs (Table 3, Table 4, Table 5). Figure 5 through Figure 8 show the behavior of the outputs during power-up and power-down.

Selectable Output Default (DEFA, DEFB) (MAX2244_M/N Only)
The default is the state the output assumes when the input is not powered or if the input is open circuit. The MAX2244_M/N feature user-selectable default-high or default-low outputs. Set both DEFA and DEFB high to set all channels to default-high, or set both DEFA and DEFB low to set all channels to default-low.
Ensure the logic state (high or low) of DEFA is the same as that for DEFB. Do not toggle DEFA or DEFB during normal operation.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Sequencing
The MAX22444-MAX22446 do not require special power supply sequencing. The logic levels are set independently on either side by VDDA and VDDB. Each supply can be present over the entire specified range regardless of the level or presence of the other supply.
Power-Supply Decoupling
To reduce ripple and the chance of introducing data errors, bypass VDDA and VDDB with 0.1F low-ESR ceramic capacitors to GNDA and GNDB, respectively. Place the bypass capacitors as close to the power supply input pins as possible.
Layout Considerations
The PCB designer should follow some critical recommendations in order to get the best performance from the design.

OUT_B

200�s/div

Figure 8. Undervoltage Lockout Behavior (MAX2244_ Low)

 Keep the input/output traces as short as possible. To keep signal paths low-inductance, avoid using vias.
 Have a solid ground plane underneath the highspeed signal layer.
 Keep the area underneath the MAX22444-MAX22446 free from ground and signal planes. Any galvanic or metallic connection between the Side A and Side B defeats the isolation.

Calculating Power Dissipation

The required current for a given supply (VDDA or VDDB) can be estimated by summing the current required for each channel. The supply current for a channel depends on whether the channel is an input or an output, the channel's data rate, and the capacitive or resistive load if it is an output. The typical current for an input or output at any data rate can be estimated from the graphs in Figure 9 and Figure 10. Please note that the data in Figure 9 and Figure 10 are extrapolated from the supply current measurements in a typical operating condition.

The total current for a single channel is the sum of the "no load" current (shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10) which is a function of Voltage and Data Rate, and the "load current," which depends on the type of load. Current into a capacitive load is a function of the load capacitance, the switching frequency, and the supply voltage.

where

ICL = CL � fSW � VDD

ICL is the current required to drive the capacitive load. CL is the load capacitance on the isolator's output pin.

Maxim Integrated  24

MAX22444�MAX22446

Reinforced, Fast, Low-Power, Four-Channel Digital Isolators

fSW is the switching frequency (bits per second / 2).
VDD is the supply voltage on the output side of the isolator.
Current into a resistive load depends on the load resistance, the supply voltage and the average duty cycle of the data waveform. The DC load current can be conservatively estimated by assuming the output is always high.

where

IRL = VDD � RL

IRL is the current required to drive the resistive load.
VDD is the supply voltage on the output side of the isolator.
RL is the load resistance on the isolator's output pin.
Example (shown in Figure 11): A MAX22445 is operating with VDDA = 2.5V, VDDB = 3.3V, channel 1 operating at 20Mbps with a 10pF capacitive load, channel 2 held high with a 10k resistive load, and channel 4 operating at 100Mbps with a 15pF capacitive load. Channel 3 is not in use and the resistive load is negligible since the isolator is driving a CMOS input. Refer to Table 6 and Table 7 for VDDA and VDDB supply current calculation worksheets.
VDDA must supply:
 Channel 1 is an input channel operating at 2.5V and 20Mbps, consuming 0.33mA, estimated from Figure 9.

 Channel 2 and 3 are input channels operating at 2.5V with DC signal, consuming 0.14mA, estimated from Figure 9.

 Channel 4 is an output channel operating at 2.5V and 100Mbps, consuming 0.77mA, estimated from Figure 10.
 ICL on channel 4 for 15pF capacitor at 2.5V and 100Mbps is 1.875mA.
Total current for side A = 0.33 + 0.14 � 2 + 0.77 + 1.875 = 3.255mA, typical
VDDB must supply:  Channel 1 is an output channel operating at 3.3V and
20Mbps, consuming 0.40mA, estimated from Figure 10.
 Channel 2 and 3 are output channels operating at 3.3V with DC signal, consuming 0.27mA, estimated from Figure 10.
 Channel 4 is an input channel operating at 3.3V and 100Mbps, consuming 1.11mA, estimated from Figure 9.
 ICL on channel 1 for 10pF capacitor at 3.3V and 20Mbps is 0.33mA.
 IRL on channel 2 for 10k resistor held at 3.3V is 0.33mA.
Total current for side B = 0.40 + 0.27 � 2 + 1.11 + 0.33 + 0.33 = 2.71mA, typical
