MAX22344/MAX22345/
MAX22346
Reinforced, Fast, Low-Power,
Four-Channel 3.75kVRMS Digital Isolators
General Description
The MAX22344–MAX22346 are reinforced, fast, lowpower 4-channel digital galvanic isolators using Maxim’s
proprietary process technology. These devices transfer
digital signals between circuits with different power
domains, using as little as 0.74mW per channel at 1Mbps
(1.8V supply). All of the devices in the family feature
reinforced isolation for a withstand voltage rating of
3.75kVRMS for 60 seconds.
The MAX22344–MAX22346 family offers all possible
unidirectional channel configurations to accommodate
any 4-channel design, including SPI, RS-485, and digital
I/O applications. Output enable for the A side of the
MAX22345R/S is active-low, 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 output
enables in the MAX22344–MAX22346 family are the
traditional active-high.
Devices are available with a maximum data rate of either
25Mbps or 200Mbps, and feature a selectable default state
for the outputs. The default is the state the output assumes
when the input is either not powered or is open-circuit. See
the Ordering Information and Product Selector Guide 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.
All of the devices in the MAX22344–MAX22346 family are
available in a 20-pin SSOP package with 5.5mm of creepage and
clearance. All devices are rated for operation at ambient
temperatures of -40°C to +125°C.

Safety Limits
Damage to the IC can result in a low-resistance path
to ground or to the supply and, without current limiting,
the MAX22344–MAX22346 could dissipate excessive
amounts of power. Excessive power dissipation can damage the die and result in damage to the isolation barrier,
potentially causing downstream issues. Table 2 shows the
safety limits for the MAX22344–MAX22346.
The maximum safety temperature (TS) for the device is
the 150°C maximum junction temperature specified in the
Absolute Maximum Ratings. The power dissipation (PD)
and junction-to-ambient thermal impedance (θJA) deter-
mine the junction temperature. Thermal impedance values (θJA and θJC) are available in the Package Thermal
Characteristics section of the datasheet and power dissipation calculations are discussed in the Calculating
Power Dissipation section. Calculate the junction temperature (TJ) as:
TJ = TA + (PD x θJA)
Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the thermal derating curve
for safety limiting the power and the current of the device.
Ensure that the junction temperature does not exceed
150°C.

MAX22346
Reinforced, Fast, Low-Power,
Four-Channel 3.75kVRMS Digital Isolators
Detailed Description
Digital Isolation
The MAX22344–MAX22346 provide reinforced galvanic
isolation for digital signals that are transmitted between
two ground domains. The devices withstand differences
of up to 3.75kVRMS for up to 60 seconds, and up to
1108VPEAK of continuous isolation.
The MAX22344–MAX22346 are a family of 4-channel
reinforced digital isolators. The MAX22344–MAX22346
have an isolation rating of 3.75kVRMS. The MAX22344–
MAX22346 family offers all 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.
Level-Shifting
The wide supply voltage range of both VDDA and VDDB
allows the MAX22344–MAX22346 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.
The MAX22344 features four channels transferring digital
signals in one direction for applications such as isolated
digital I/O. The MAX22345 has three channels transmitting
data in one direction and one channel transmitting in the
opposite direction, making them ideal for applications
such as isolated SPI and RS-485 communication. The
MAX22346 provides further design flexibility with two
channels in each direction for isolated RS-232 or other
applications.
Unidirectional Channels
Each channel of the MAX22344–MAX22346 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/R versions), or from
DC to 200Mbps (C/S 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.
Devices are available in a 20-pin SSOP package and are
rated for up to 3.75kVRMS. 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.
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 3 , Table 4). Figure 5 through
Figure 8 show the behavior of the outputs during powerup and power-down.
Devices are available with a maximum data rate of either
25Mbps (B/R versions) or 200Mbps (C/S versions). All
devices feature user-selectable 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 MAX22344–MAX22346 also
feature a refresh circuit to ensure output accuracy when an
input remains in the same state indefinitely.

Selectable Output Default (DEFA, DEFB)
●● Keep the input/output traces as short as possible. To
keep signal paths low-inductance, avoid using vias.
The default is the state the output assumes when the
input is not powered or if the input is open circuit. The
MAX22344-MAX22346 feature user-selectable defaulthigh or default-low outputs. Set both DEFA and DEFB
high to set all channels to default-high, or set both DEFA
and DEFB low to set all channels to default-low.
Ensure the logic state (high or low) of DEFA is the same
as that for DEFB. Do not toggle DEFA or DEFB during
normal operation.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Sequencing
The MAX22344-MAX22346 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.
●● Have a solid ground plane underneath the highspeed signal layer.
●● Keep the area underneath the MAX22344–MAX22346
free from ground and signal planes. Any galvanic or
metallic connection between the Side A and Side B
defeats the isolation.
Calculating Power Dissipation
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
9 and Figure 10. Please note the data in Figure 9 and
Figure 10 are extrapolated from the supply current
measurements in a typical operating condition.
The total current for a single channel is the sum of the
“no load” current (shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10) 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.
ICL = CL × fSW × VDD
where
ICL is the current required to drive the capacitive load.
CL is the load capacitance on the isolator’s output pin.

fSW is the switching frequency (bits per second/2).
●● Channel 2 and 3 are input channels operating at
2.5V with DC signal, consuming 0.14mA, estimated
from Figure 9.
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 4 is an output channel operating at 2.5V and
100Mbps, consuming 0.77mA, estimated from Figure 10.
●● ICL on channel 4 for 15pF capacitor at 2.5V and
100Mbps is 1.875mA.
IRL = VDD ÷ RL
Total current for side A = 0.33 + 0.14 × 2 + 0.77 +
1.875 = 3.255mA, typical
where
IRL is the current required to drive the resistive load.
VDDB must supply:
VDD is the supply voltage on the output side of the isolator.
●● Channel 1 is an output channel operating at 3.3V and
20Mbps, consuming 0.40mA, estimated from Figure 10.
RL is the load resistance on the isolator’s output pin.
Example (shown in Figure 11): A MAX22345C 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 5 and Table 6 for
VDDA and VDDB supply current calculation worksheets.
●● Channel 2 and 3 are output channels operating at
3.3V with DC signal, consuming 0.27mA, estimated
from Figure 10.
●● Channel 4 is an input channel operating at 3.3V and
100Mbps, consuming 1.11mA, estimated from Figure 9.
●● ICL on channel 1 for 10pF capacitor at 3.3V and
20Mbps is 0.33mA.
VDDA must supply:
●● IRL on channel 2 for 10kΩ resistor held at 3.3V is
0.33mA.
●● Channel 1 is an input channel operating at 2.5V and
20Mbps, consuming 0.33mA, estimated from Figure 9.
Total current for side B = 0.40 + 0.27 × 2 + 1.11 + 0.33
+ 0.33 = 2.71mA, typical
