GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM31531 are 7-channel,
SPIsolator™ digital isolators optimized for isolated serial peripheral
interfaces (SPIs). Based on the Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler®
chip scale transformer technology, the low propagation delay in
the CLK, MO/SI, MI/SO, and SS SPI bus signals supports SPI
clock rates of up to 17 MHz. These channels operate with 14 ns
propagation delay and 1 ns jitter to optimize timing for SPI.
The ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153 isolators also provide
three additional independent low data rate isolation channels in
three different channel direction combinations. Data in the slow
channels is sampled and serialized for a 250 kbps data rate with
up to 2.5 µs of jitter in the low speed channels.

1 Codirectional channel matching is the absolute value of the difference in propagation delays between any two channels with inputs on the same side of the isolation barrier.
2 The MSS signal is glitch filtered in both speed grades, whereas the other fast signals are not glitch filtered in the B grade. To guarantee that MSS reaches the output
ahead of another fast signal, set up MSS prior to the competing signal by different times depending on speed grade.
3 VIx = VIA, VIB, or VIC.
4 An internal asynchronous clock not available to users samples the low speed signals. If edge sequence in codirectional channels is critical to the end application, the
leading pulse must be at least 1 tVIx SKEW time ahead of a later pulse to guarantee the correct order or simultaneous arrival at the output.

3 VIx = VIA, VIB, or VIC.
4 An internal asynchronous clock not available to users samples the low speed signals. If edge sequence in codirectional channels is critical to the end application, the
leading pulse must be at least 1 tVIx SKEW time ahead of a later pulse to guarantee the correct order or simultaneous arrival at the output.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153 are a family of devices
created to optimize isolation of SPI for speed and provide
additional low speed channels for control and status monitoring
functions. The isolators are based on differential signaling
iCoupler technology for enhanced speed and noise immunity.
High Speed Channels
The ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153 have four high speed
channels. The first three channels, CLK, MI/SO, and MO/SI
(the slash indicates the connection of the particular input and
output channel across the isolator), are optimized for either low
propagation delay in the B grade or high noise immunity in the
A grade. The difference between the grades is the addition of a
glitch filter to these three channels in the A grade version,
which increases the propagation delay. The B grade version,
with a maximum propagation delay of 14 ns, supports a
maximum clock rate of 17 MHz in the standard 4-wire SPI.
However, because the glitch filter is not present in the B grade
version, ensure that spurious glitches of less than 10 ns are not
present.
Glitches of less than 10 ns in the B grade devices can cause the
missing of the second edge of the glitch. This pulse condition is
then seen as a spurious data transition on the output that is
corrected by a refresh or the next valid data edge. It is recommended
to use the A grade devices in noisy environments.
The relationship between the SPI signal paths and the pin
mnemonics of the ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153 and
the data directions is detailed in Table 24.

MI/SO MI

SS MSS
SSS
The datapaths are SPI mode agnostic. The CLK and MOSI, SPI
data paths are optimized for propagation delay and channel to
channel matching. The MISO SPI datapath is optimized for
propagation delay. The devices do not synchronize to the clock
channels so there are no constraints on the clock polarity or the
timing with respect to the data lines. To allow compatibility
with nonstandard SPI interfaces, the MI pin is always active,
and does not tristate when the slave select is not asserted. This
precludes tying several MI lines together without adding a
tristate buffer or multiplexor.
The SS (slave select bar) is typically an active low signal. It can
have many different functions in SPI and SPI-like busses. Many
of these functions are edge triggered, so the SS path contains a
glitch filter in both the A grade and the B grade.
The glitch filter prevents short pulses from propagating to the
output or causing other errors in operation. The MSS signal
requires a 10 ns setup time in the B grade devices prior to the
first active clock edge to allow the added propagation time of
the glitch filter.
Low Speed Data Channels
The low speed data channels are provided as economical
isolated datapaths where timing is not critical. The dc value of
all high and low speed inputs on a given side of the devices are
sampled simultaneously, packetized and shifted across an
isolation coil. The high speed channels are compared for dc
accuracy, and the low speed data is transferred to the appropriate
low speed outputs. The process is then reversed by reading the
inputs on the opposite side of the devices, packetizing them and
sending them back for similar processing. The dc correctness data
for the high speed channels is handled internally, and the low
speed data is clocked to the outputs simultaneously.
A free running internal clock regulates this bidirectional data
shuttling. Because data is sampled at discrete times based on
this clock, the propagation delay for a low speed channel is
between 0.1 µs and 2.6 µs, depending on where the input data
edge changes with respect to the internal sample clock.
Figure 14 illustrates the behavior of the low speed channels and
the relationship between the codirectional channels.
Point A: When data is sampled between the input edges of
two low speed data inputs, a very narrow gap between
edges is increased to the width of the output clock.
Point B: Data edges that occur on codirectional channels
between samples are sampled and simultaneously sent to
the outputs, which synchronizes the data edges between
the two channels at the outputs.
Point C: Data pulses that are less than the minimum low
speed pulse width may not be transmitted because they
may not be sampled.

A low speed data system that is carefully designed so that
staggered data transitions at the inputs become either
synchronized or pushed apart when they are presented at the
output. Edge order is always preserved for as long as the edges
are separated by at least VIx SKEW. In other words, if one edge is
leading another at the input, the order of the edges is not
reversed by the isolator.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) LAYOUT
The ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153 digital isolators
require no external interface circuitry for the logic interfaces.
Power supply bypassing is strongly recommended at both input
and output supply pins: VDD1 and VDD2 (see Figure 15). The
capacitor value must be between 0.01 µF and 0.1 µF. The total
lead length between both ends of the capacitor and the input
power supply pin must not exceed 20 mm.

Figure 15. Recommended PCB Layout
In applications involving high common-mode transients, it is
important to minimize board coupling across the isolation
barrier. Furthermore, design the board layout so that any
coupling that does occur affects all pins equally on a given
component side. Failure to ensure this can cause voltage
differentials between pins exceeding the absolute maximum
ratings of the device, thereby leading to latch-up or permanent
damage.
PROPAGATION DELAY RELATED PARAMETERS
Propagation delay is a parameter that describes the time it takes
a logic signal to propagate through a component. The input to
output propagation delay time for a high to low transition may
differ from the propagation delay time of a low to high
transition.

Pulse width distortion is the maximum difference between
these two propagation delay values and an indication of how
accurately the timing of the input signal is preserved.
Channel to channel matching refers to the maximum amount
the propagation delay differs between channels within a single
ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153 component.
DC CORRECTNESS AND MAGNETIC FIELD
IMMUNITY
Positive and negative logic transitions at the isolator input cause
narrow (~1 ns) pulses to be sent via the transformer to the decoder.
The decoder is bistable and is, therefore, either set or reset by
the pulses indicating input logic transitions. In the absence of
logic transitions at the input for more than ~1.2 µs, a periodic
set of refresh pulses indicative of the correct input state are sent
via the low speed channel to ensure dc correctness at the output.
If the low speed decoder receives no pulses for more than about
5 µs, the input side is assumed to be unpowered or nonfunctional,
in which case, the isolator output is forced to a high-Z state by
the watchdog timer circuit.
The limitation on the magnetic field immunity of the device is
set by the condition in which induced voltage in the transformer
receiving coil is sufficiently large to either falsely set or reset the
decoder. The following analysis defines such conditions. The
ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153 were examined in a 3 V
operating condition because it represents the most susceptible
mode of operation for this product.
The pulses at the transformer output have an amplitude greater
than 1.5 V. The decoder has a sensing threshold of about 1.0 V;
thereby, establishing a 0.5 V margin in which induced voltages
can be tolerated. The voltage induced across the receiving coil is
given by
V = (−dβ/dt)∑πrn2; n = 1, 2, …, N
where:
β is the magnetic flux density.
rn is the radius of the nth turn in the receiving coil.
N is the number of turns in the receiving coil.
Given the geometry of the receiving coil in the ADuM3151/
ADuM3152/ADuM3153 and an imposed requirement that the
induced voltage be, at most, 50% of the 0.5 V margin at the
decoder, a maximum allowable magnetic field is calculated as
shown in Figure 17.

For example, at a magnetic field frequency of 1 MHz, the
maximum allowable magnetic field of 0.5 kgauss, induces a
voltage of 0.25 V at the receiving coil. This is about 50% of the
sensing threshold and does not cause a faulty output transition.
If such an event occurs, with the worst-case polarity, during a
transmitted pulse, it reduces the received pulse from >1.0 V to
0.75 V, which is still well above the 0.5 V sensing threshold of
the decoder.
The preceding magnetic flux density values correspond to
specific current magnitudes at given distances away from the
ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153 transformers. Figure 18
expresses these allowable current magnitudes as a function of
frequency for selected distances. The ADuM3151/ADuM3152/
ADuM3153 are insensitive to external fields. Only extremely
large, high frequency currents, very close to the component are
a concern. For the 1 MHz example noted, a user would have to
place a 1.2 kA current 5mm away from the ADuM3151/
ADuM3152/ADuM3153 to affect component operation.

At combinations of strong magnetic field and high frequency,
any loops formed by the PCB traces may induce sufficiently
large error voltages to trigger the thresholds of succeeding
circuitry. Take care to avoid PCB structures that form loops.
POWER CONSUMPTION
The supply current at a given channel of the ADuM3151/
ADuM3152/ADuM3153 isolators is a function of the supply
voltage, the data rate of the channel, and the output load of the
channel and whether it is a high or low speed channel.
The low speed channels draw a constant quiescent current
caused by the internal ping-pong datapath. The operating
frequency is low enough that the capacitive losses caused by
the recommended capacitive load are negligible compared to
the quiescent current. The explicit calculation for the data rate
is eliminated for simplicity, and the quiescent current for each
side of the isolator due to the low speed channels can be found
in Table 3, Table 6, Table 9, and Table 12 for the particular
operating voltages.
These quiescent currents add to the high speed current as is
shown in the following equations for the total current for each
side of the isolator. Dynamic currents are taken from Table 3
and Table 6 for the respective voltages.
For Side 1, the supply current is given by
IDD1 = IDDI(D) × (fMCLK + fMO + fMSS) +
fMI × (IDDO(D) + ((0.5 × 10−3) × CL(MI) × VDD1)) + IDD1(Q)
For Side 2, the supply current is given by
IDD2 = IDDI(D) × fSO +
fSCLK × (IDDO(D) + ((0.5 × 10−3) × CL(SCLK) × VDD2)) +
fSI × (IDDO(D) + ((0.5 × 10−3) × CL(SI) × VDD2)) +
fSSS × (IDDO(D) + ((0.5 × 10−3) × CL(SSS) × VDD2)) + IDD2(Q)
where:
IDDI(D), IDDO(D) are the input and output dynamic supply currents
per channel (mA/Mbps).
fx is the logic signal data rate for the specified channel (Mbps).
CL(x) is the load capacitance of the specified output (pF).
VDDx is the supply voltage of the side being evaluated (V).
IDD1(Q), IDD2(Q) are the specified Side 1 and Side 2 quiescent
supply currents (mA).
Figure 8 and Figure 11 show the supply current per channel as a
function of data rate for an input and unloaded output. Figure 9
and Figure 12 show the total IDD1 and IDD2 supply currents as a
function of data rate for the ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153
channel configurations with all high speed channels running at
the same speed and the low speed channels at idle.
INSULATION LIFETIME
All insulation structures eventually break down when subjected
to voltage stress over a sufficiently long period. The rate of
insulation degradation is dependent on the characteristics of the
voltage waveform applied across the insulation as well as the
materials and material interfaces.
There are two types of insulation degradation of primary interest:
breakdown along surfaces exposed to the air and insulation
wear out. Surface breakdown is the phenomenon of surface
tracking and the primary determinant of surface creepage
requirements in system level standards. Insulation wear out is
the phenomenon where charge injection or displacement
currents inside the insulation material cause long-term
insulation degradation.
Surface Tracking
Surface tracking is addressed in electrical safety standards by
setting a minimum surface creepage based on the working
voltage, the environmental conditions, and the properties of the
insulation material. Safety agencies perform characterization
testing on the surface insulation of components that allow the
components to be categorized into different material groups.
Lower material group ratings are more resistant to surface
tracking and, therefore, can provide adequate lifetime with
smaller creepage.
Data Sheet ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153
Rev. B | Page 21 of 22
The minimum creepage for a given working voltage and
material group is in each system level standard and is based on
the total rms voltage across the isolation, pollution degree, and
material group. The material group and creepage for the
ADuM3151/ADuM3152/ADuM3153 isolators are detailed in
Table 15.
Insulation Wear Out
The lifetime of insulation due to wear out is determined by its
thickness, the material properties, and the voltage stress applied.
It is important to verify that the product lifetime is adequate at
the application working voltage. The working voltage supported
by an isolator for wear out may not be the same as the working
voltage supported for tracking. It is the working voltage
applicable to tracking that is specified in most standards.
Testing and modeling have shown that the primary driver of
long-term degradation is displacement current in the polyimide
insulation causing incremental damage. The stress on the
insulation can be broken down into broad categories, such as
dc stress, which causes very little wear out because there is no
displacement current, and an ac component time varying
voltage stress, which causes wear out.
The ratings in certification documents are usually based on
60 Hz sinusoidal stress because this reflects isolation from line
voltage. However, many practical applications have combinations
of 60 Hz ac and dc across the barrier, as shown in Equation 1.
Because only the ac portion of the stress causes wear out, the
equation can be rearranged to solve for the ac rms voltage, as
shown in Equation 2. For insulation wear out with the
polyimide materials used in this product, the ac rms voltage
determines the product lifetime.

Calculation and Use of Parameters Example
The following is an example that frequently arises in power
conversion applications. Assume that the line voltage on one
side of the isolation is 240 V ac rms, and a 400 V dc bus voltage
is present on the other side of the isolation barrier. The isolator
material is polyimide.
To establish the critical voltages in determining the creepage
clearance and lifetime of a device, see Figure 19 and the
following equations.

This is the working voltage used together with the material
group and pollution degree when looking up the creepage

To determine if the lifetime is adequate, obtain the time varying
portion of the working voltage. The ac rms voltage can be
obtained from Equation 2.

VAC RMS = 240 V rms
In this case, the ac rms voltage is simply the line voltage of
240 V rms. This calculation is more relevant when the
waveform is not sinusoidal. The value is compared to the limits
for the working voltage listed in Table 19 for the expected
lifetime, under a 60 Hz sine wave, and it is well within the limit
for a 50-year service life.
Note that the dc working voltage limit in Table 19 is set by the
creepage of the package as specified in IEC 60664-1. This value
may differ for specific system level standards.
