The preceding magnetic flux density values correspond to specific
current magnitudes at given distances from the ADuM447x
transformers. Figure 54 expresses these allowable current magnitudes
as a function of frequency for selected distances. As shown in
Figure 54, the ADuM447x are extremely immune and can be
affected only by extremely large currents operated at a high fre-
quency that is very close to the component. For the 1 MHz
example, a 0.5 kA current needs to be placed 5 mm away
from the ADuM447x to affect component operation.

Dynamic I/O current is consumed only when operating a channel
at speeds higher than the refresh rate of fr. The dynamic current of
each channel is determined by its data rate. Figure 24 and Figure 28
show the current for a channel in the forward direction, meaning
that the input is on the VDDA and VDD2 side of the part. Figure 25
and Figure 29 show the current for a channel in the reverse
direction, meaning that the input is on the VISO side of the part.
Figure 24, Figure 25, Figure 28, or Figure 29 assume a typical
15 pF output load.
The following relationship allows the total IDD1 current to be

In combinations of strong magnetic field and high frequency,
any loops formed by PCB traces can induce error voltages that
are sufficiently large to trigger the thresholds of succeeding cir-
cuitry. Take care in the layout of such traces to avoid this
possibility.

or Figure 27 or for a double supply in Figure 30 or Figure 31.
The VDDA power supply input provides power to the iCoupler data
channels, as well as to the power converter. For this reason, the
quiescent currents drawn by the data converter and the primary
and secondary I/O channels cannot be determined separately. All
of these quiescent power demands have been combined into the

IDDA (Q) current, as shown in Figure 55. The total IDD supply current
is equal to the sum of the quiescent operating current; the dynamic
current, IDDA (D), demanded by the I/O channels; and any
external IISO load.
