MAX14434–MAX14436
Four-Channel, Fast, Low-Power,
5kV Digital Isolators
RMS
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Robust Galvanic Isolation for Fast Digital Signals
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

● Low Power Consumption
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 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 devices in the family have
the traditional active-high enable.

● Options to Support a Broad Range of Applications
• 2 Data Rates (25Mbps, 200Mbps)
• 3 Channel Direction Configurations
• 2 Output Default States (High/Low)
Applications
● Fieldbus Communications for Industrial Automation
● Isolated RS-485/RS-422, CAN
● General Isolation Application
● Battery Management
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 suf-
fixes 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.
● Medical Systems
Safety Regulatory Approvals (Pending)
● UL According to UL1577
● cUL According to CSA Bulletin 5A
● VDE 0884-10
The MAX14434–MAX14436 are available in a 16-pin wide-
body SOIC package with 8mm of creepage and clearance.
The package material has a minimum comparative track-
ing 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.
