Isolated, 4 A Dual-Channel Gate Driver
Data Sheet
ADuM3220/ADuM3221
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuM3220/ADuM32211 are isolated, 4 A dual-channel gate
4 A peak output current
Precise timing characteristics
drivers based on the Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology.
60 ns maximum isolator and driver propagation delay
5 ns maximum channel-to-channel matching
High junction temperature operation: 125°C
3.3 V to 5 V input logic
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.
4.5 V to 18 V output drive
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.

Safety and regulatory approvals
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.
