“Delivering 500 mW of isolated power in a small, surface mount package, the ADuM540x products enable customers to put more channels of isolation into space-constrained designs at reduced cost,” said Ronn Kliger, product line director, Digital Isolation Products, Analog Devices. “For example, industrial control designers can now increase the number of isolated data ports in a single control module without increasing the size of the module, even though each port requires its own isolated power supply. With alternate solutions, such as optocouplers and separate, isolated dc-to-dc converters, the control module would need to increase in size and would not be backward compatible with installed industrial control systems.”
The on-board isoPower isolated dc-to-dc converter provides up to 500 mW of regulated, isolated power and can operate at either 5.0-V or 3.3-V. A version with two channels (ADuM520x) and a version that features only the isoPower isolated power supply (ADuM5000) will be released later this year.
