 | Analog Devices Introduces Four-Channel, Single-Package Solution for Data and Power Isolation : New iCoupler® digital isolation products deliver 500 mW isolated power; small package reduces costs by 50 percent and board space by 70 percent.
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing applications, is expanding its extensive family of digital isolation products with a series of four-channel devices that isolate both data and power. Each device integrates ADI’s iCoupler digital isolation technology and ADI’s proprietary isoPower™ dc-to-dc converter, providing both isolated power and isolated signal channels within a single package. The ADuM540x iCoupler digital isolators with isoPower are a better choice over discrete solutions, such as optocouplers with external dc-to-dc converters, because their small 10 mm × 10 mm surface mount packages can reduce board space by up to 70 percent and cut costs by as much as 50 percent. In addition, the ADuM540x devices come with safety pre-approvals, allowing designers to realize faster design times as compared to discrete-based solutions, which require time-consuming safety approvals that can delay time-to-market. 2008-05-20 |

Tuning its proprietary iCoupler® digital isolation technology to meet the reliability and quality needs of emerging electric-hybrid vehicles, Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) is introducing a family of digital isolators designed to operate in today’s electrically challenging automotive environment. Unlike the relatively low-voltage signals powering most in-car entertainment, safety, and power train systems, hybrid-vehicle batteries can operate at voltages in excess of 600 V, which creates a need to galvanically isolate system-critical electronics. Analog Devices’ new ADuM120xW, ADuM130xW and ADuM140xW digital isolators were developed for electric-hybrid vehicle systems, such as motor drives and battery management systems. These new iCoupler products are the first digital isolators to carry an AEC-Q100 qualified –40°C to +125°C automotive temperature rating. 2008-05-20 |
