Analog Devices – Isolated DC-to-DC Converter

Analog Devices (ADI) is expanding its portfolio of digital isolation products with the industry’s smallest isolated dc-to-dc converter. Offering a 5-kV rms isolation rating in a 10-mm × 10-mm package, the ADuM6000 is a 0.5 watt device that integrates ADI’s proprietary iCoupler digital isolation technology and isoPower dc-to-dc converter. The new digital isolator allows designers to free up valuable circuit-board real estate while eliminating the time-consuming step of securing medical or other safety approvals (such as IEC-60601-1), all at a fraction of the cost of alternative devices, including optocouplers. Safety is a key requirement in medical and industrial designs, and the ADuM6000 protects the device and end users from exposure to voltage levels that could compromise safety and reliability.
