Wide-body, 8-lead SOIC
The ADuM4121-1-EP1 is a 2.3 A isolated, single-channel driver
that employ Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology to provide
precision isolation. The ADuM4121-1-EP provides 5 kV rms
isolation in the wide-body, 8-lead SOIC package. Combining high
speed CMOS and monolithic transformer technology, this
isolation component provides outstanding performance
characteristics superior to alternatives such as the combination
of pulse transformers and gate drivers.
The ADuM4121-1-EP operates with an input supply ranging
from 2.5 V to 6.5 V, providing compatibility with lower voltage
systems. In comparison to gate drivers that employ high voltage
level translation methodologies, the ADuM4121-1-EP offers the
benefit of true, galvanic isolation between the input and the output.
The ADuM4121-1-EP includes an internal Miller clamp that
activates at 2 V on the falling edge of the gate drive output,
supplying the driven gate with a lower impedance path to reduce
the chance of Miller capacitance induced turn on.
The ADuM4121-1-EP provides reliable control over the switching
characteristics of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)/metal
oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) configurations over a wide range of switching voltages.

RGON and RGOFF are the external gate resistors in the test.
tDLH propagation delay is measured from the time of the input rising logic high threshold, VIH, to the output rising 10% threshold of the VOUT signal. tDHL propagation
delay is measured from the input falling logic low threshold, VIL, to the output falling 90% threshold of the VOx signal. See the ADuM4121-1 data sheet for waveforms of the
propagation delay parameters.
3
tPSK is the magnitude of the worst case difference in tDLH and/or tDHL that is measured between units at the same operating temperature, supply voltages, and output
load within the recommended operating conditions. See the ADuM4121-1 data sheet for waveforms of the propagation delay parameters.
4
tPSKHL is the magnitude of the worst case difference in tDHL that is measured between units at the same operating temperature, supply voltages, and output load within
the recommended operating conditions. See the ADuM4121-1 data sheet for waveforms of the propagation delay parameters.
5
tPSKLH is the magnitude of the worst case difference in tDLH that is measured between units at the same operating temperature, supply voltages, and output load within
the recommended operating conditions. See the ADuM4121-1 data sheet for waveforms of the propagation delay parameters.
6
Static common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) is defined as the largest dv/dt between GND1 and GND2, with inputs held either high or low, such that the output
voltage remains either above 0.8 × VDD2 for output high or 0.8 V for output low. Operation with transients above recommended levels can cause momentary data upsets.
7
Dynamic common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) is defined as the largest dv/dt between GND1 and GND2 with the switching edge coincident with the transient test
pulse. Operation with transients above the recommended levels can cause momentary data upsets.
