These devices transfer digital signals between circuits
with different power domains, using as little as 90.7μW
per channel at 1Mbps (1.8V supply). The ultra-low-
power feature reduces system dissipation, increases
reliability, and enables compact designs.
Key Applications
Devices are available with a glitch rejection filter of either
29ns or 70ns (typ) and with default-high or default-low
outputs. The devices feature low propagation delay and
low clock jitter, which reduces system latency.

Parasitically Powered Applications
Independent 1.71V to 5.5V supplies on each side also
make the devices suitable for use as level translators.
The MAX22420/1, MAX22820/1 are a family of 2-

isolators using Analog Devices’ proprietary process
technology. The MAX22420/1 feature reinforced
The MAX22420/MAX22820 feature two channels
transferring data in the same direction. The two channels
of the MAX22421/MAX22821 transfer data in opposite
directions.
