GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADuM3220/ADuM32211 are isolated, 4 A dual-channel gate drivers based on the Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology.

Combining high speed CMOS and monolithic transformer technol-

ogy, these isolation components provide outstanding performance

characteristics superior to the alternatives, such as the combination of pulse transformers and gate drivers. The ADuM3220/ADuM3221 provide digital isolation in two

independent isolation channels. They have a maximum

propagation delay of 60 ns and 5 ns channel-to-channel matching.

In comparison to gate drivers that employ high voltage level

translation method-ologies, the ADuM3220/ADuM3221 offer the benefit of true, galvanic isolation between the input and

each output, enabling voltage translation across the isolation barrier. The ADuM3220 has shoot-through protection logic, which prevents both outputs from being on at the same time, whereas the ADuM3221 allows both outputs to be on at the same time. Both parts offer a default output low characteristic as required for gate drive applications. The ADuM3220/ADuM3221 operate with an input supply voltage ranging from 3.0 V to 5.5 V, providing compatibility with lower

voltage systems. The outputs of the ADuM3220A/ADuM3221A

can be operated at supply voltages from 4.5 V to 18 V. The outputs of the ADuM3220B/ADuM3221B can be operated at supply voltages from 7.6 V to 18 V. The junction temperature of the ADuM3220/ADuM3221 is

specified from −40°C to +125°C.
