MAX14434–MAX14436
Four-Channel, Fast, Low-Power,
5kVRMS Digital Isolators
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX14434–MAX14436 family offers all three
possible unidirectional channel configurations to
accommodate any 4-channel design, including SPI,
RS-232, RS-485, and digital I/O applications. Output
enable for the A side of the MAX14435R/S/U/V is activelow, making them ideal for isolating a port on a shared
SPI bus since the CS signal can directly enable the MISO
signal on the isolator. All other devices in the family have
the traditional active-high enable.
●● Low Power Consumption
• 1.1mW per Channel at 1Mbps with VDD = 3.3V
• 3.5mW per Channel at 100Mbps with VDD = 1.8V
The MAX14434–MAX14436 are the fastest, lowest power,
4-channel, digital galvanic isolators on the market today
using Maxim’s proprietary process technology. These
devices transfer digital signals between circuits with
different power domains while using as little as 0.58mW per
channel at 1Mbps with a 1.8V supply. The MAX14434/5/6
have an isolation rating of 5kVRMS for 60 seconds.
Devices are available with a maximum data rate of either
25Mbps or 200Mbps and with outputs that are either
default-high or default-low. The default is the state the
output assumes when the input is either not powered
or is open-circuit. See the Ordering Information for suffixes associated with each option. Independent 1.71V to
5.5V supplies on each side of the isolator also make the
devices suitable for use as level translators.
The MAX14434–MAX14436 are available in a 16-pin widebody SOIC package with 8mm of creepage and clearance.
The package material has a minimum comparative tracking index (CTI) of 600V, which gives it a group 1 rating
in creepage tables. All devices are rated for operation at
ambient temperatures of -40°C to +125°C.
●● Robust Galvanic Isolation for Fast Digital Signals
• 200Mbps Data Rate
• Withstands 5kVRMS for 60s (VISO)
• Continuously Withstands 848VRMS (VIOWM)
• Withstands ±10kV Surge between GNDA and
GNDB with 1.2/50μs waveform
• High CMTI (50kV/μs, Typical)
●● Options to Support a Broad Range of Applications
• 2 Data Rates (25Mbps, 200Mbps)
• 3 Channel Direction Configurations
• 2 Output Default States (High/Low)

Note 1: All devices are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Specifications over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Note 2: Not production tested. Guaranteed by design and characterization,
Note 3: All currents into the device are positive. All currents out of the device are negative. All voltages are referenced to their
respective ground (GNDA or GNDB), unless otherwise noted.
Note 4: CMTI is the maximum sustainable common-mode voltage slew rate while maintaining the correct output. CMTI applies to
both rising and falling common-mode voltage edges. Tested with the transient generator connected between GNDA and
GNDB (VCM = 1000V).

Detailed Description
The MAX14434–MAX14436 is a family of 4-channel digital
isolators. The MAX14434–MAX14436 have an isolation
rating of 5kVRMS. The MAX14434–MAX14436 family
offers all three possible unidirectional channel configurations to accommodate any 4-channel design, including
SPI, RS-232, RS-485, and digital I/O applications. For applications requiring bidirectional channels, such as I2C, see
the MAX14933 and MAX14937.
The MAX14434 features four channels transferring digital
signals in one direction for applications such as isolated
digital I/O. The MAX14435 has three channels transmitting
data in one direction and one channel transmitting in the
opposite direction, making it ideal for applications such as
isolated SPI and RS-485 communication. The MAX14436
provides further design flexibility with two channels in each
direction for isolated RS-232 or other applications.
Devices are available in the 16-pin wide-body SOIC
package and are rated for up to 5kVRMS. This
family of digital isolators offers low-power operation, high
electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity, and stable
temperature performance through Maxim’s proprietary
process technology. The devices isolate different ground
domains and block high-voltage/high-current transients
from sensitive or human interface circuitry.
Devices are available with a maximum data rate of either
25Mbps (B/E/R/U versions) or 200Mbps (C/F/S/V versions).
Each device can be ordered with default-high or defaultlow outputs. The default is the state the output assumes
when the input is not powered or if the input is open circuit.
The devices have two supply inputs (VDDA and VDDB)
that independently set the logic levels on either side of
the device. VDDA and VDDB are referenced to GNDA and
GNDB, respectively. The MAX14434–MAX14436 family
also features a refresh circuit to ensure output accuracy
when an input remains in the same state indefinitely.

Digital Isolation
The MAX14434–MAX14436 family provides galvanic isolation for digital signals that are transmitted between two
ground domains. The devices withstand differences of up
to 5kVRMS for up to 60 seconds, and up to 1200VPEAK
of continuous isolation.
Level-Shifting
The wide supply voltage range of both VDDA and VDDB
allows the MAX14434–MAX14436 family to be used for
level translation in addition to isolation. VDDA and VDDB
can be independently set to any voltage from 1.71V to
5.5V. The supply voltage sets the logic level on the corresponding side of the isolator.
Unidirectional Channels
Each channel of the MAX14434–MAX14436 is unidirectional;
it only passes data in one direction, as indicated in the
functional diagram. Each device features four unidirectional
channels that operate independently with guaranteed data
rates from DC up to 25Mbps (B/E/R/U versions), or from
DC to 200Mbps (C/F/S/V versions). The output driver of each
channel is push-pull, eliminating the need for pullup
resistors. The outputs are able to drive both TTL and
CMOS logic inputs.
Startup and Undervoltage-Lockout
The VDDA and VDDB supplies are both internally monitored
for undervoltage conditions. Undervoltage events can occur
during power-up, power-down, or during normal operation
due to a sagging supply voltage. When an undervoltage
condition is detected on either supply while the outputs
are enabled, all outputs go to their default states regardless of
the state of the inputs (Table 2). Figure 2 through Figure
5 show the behavior of the outputs during power-up and
power-down.

Applications Information
Power-Supply Sequencing
The MAX14434–MAX14436 do not require special power
supply sequencing. The logic levels are set independently
on either side by VDDA and VDDB. Each supply can be
present over the entire specified range regardless of the
level or presence of the other supply.
Power-Supply Decoupling
To reduce ripple and the chance of introducing data
errors, bypass VDDA and VDDB with 0.1μF low-ESR
ceramic capacitors to GNDA and GNDB, respectively.
Place the bypass capacitors as close to the power supply
input pins as possible.

Layout Considerations
The PCB designer should follow some critical recommendations in order to get the best performance from the
design.
●● Keep the input/output traces as short as possible.
Avoid using vias to make low-inductance paths for
the signals.
●● Have a solid ground plane underneath the highspeed signal layer.
●● Keep the area underneath the MAX14434–MAX14436
free from ground and signal planes. Any galvanic or
metallic connection between the field-side and logicside defeats the isolation.

Calculating Power Dissipation
Example (shown in Figure 8): A MAX14435F is operating
with VDDA = 2.5V, VDDB = 3.3V, channel 1 operating at
20Mbps with a 10pF capacitive load, channel 2 held high
with a 10kΩ resistive load, and channel 4 operating at
100Mbps with a 15pF capacitive load. Channel 3 is not in
use and the resistive load is negligible since the isolator
is driving a CMOS input. Refer to Table 3 and Table 4 for
VDDA and VDDB supply current calculation worksheets.
The required current for a given supply (VDDA or VDDB)
can be estimated by summing the current required for
each channel. The supply current for a channel depends
on whether the channel is an input or an output, the channel’s
data rate, and the capacitive or resistive load if it is an
output. The typical current for an input or output at any
data rate can be estimated from the graphs in Figure 6
and Figure 7. Please note the data in Figure 6 and Figure
7 are extrapolated from the supply current measurements
in a typical operating condition.
VDDA must supply:
●● Channel 1 is an input channel operating at 2.5V and
20Mbps, consuming 0.33mA, estimated from Figure 6.
The total current for a single channel is the sum of the
“no load” current (shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7) which
is a function of Voltage and Data Rate, and the “load
current,” which depends on the type of load. Current into
a capacitive load is a function of the load capacitance, the
switching frequency, and the supply voltage.
●● Channel 2 and 3 are input channels operating at
2.5V with DC signal, consuming 0.13mA, estimated
from Figure 6.
●● Channel 4 is an output channel operating at 2.5V and
100Mbps, consuming 1.02mA, estimated from Figure 7.
●● ICL on channel 4 for 15pF capacitor at 2.5V and
100Mbps is 1.875mA.
ICL = CL × fSW × VDD
where
Total current for side A = 0.33 + 0.13 × 2 + 1.02 +
1.875 = 3.485mA, typical
ICL is the current required to drive the capacitive load.
CL is the load capacitance on the isolator’s output pin.
VDDB must supply:
fSW is the switching frequency (bits per second / 2).
●● Channel 1 is an output channel operating at 3.3V and
20Mbps, consuming 0.42mA, estimated from Figure 7.
VDD is the supply voltage on the output side of the isolator.
Current into a resistive load depends on the load resistance,
the supply voltage and the average duty cycle of the data
waveform. The DC load current can be conservatively
estimated by assuming the output is always high.
●● Channel 2 and 3 are output channels operating at
3.3V with DC signal, consuming 0.18mA, estimated
from Figure 7.
●● Channel 4 is an input channel operating at 3.3V and
100Mbps, consuming 1.13mA, estimated from Figure 6.
IRL = VDD ÷ RL
where
●● ICL on channel 1 for 10pF capacitor at 3.3V and
20Mbps is 0.33mA.
IRL is the current required to drive the resistive load.
●● IRL on channel 2 for 10kΩ resistor held at 3.3V is
0.33mA.
VDD is the supply voltage on the output side of the isolator.
RL is the load resistance on the isolator’s output pin.
Total current for side B = 0.42 + 0.18 × 2 + 1.13 + 0.33
+ 0.33 = 2.57mA, typical
