The ADUM3160BRWZ-RL from Analog Devices is a 2-channel CMOS digital isolator for USB interfaces. A digital isolator passes logic signals across an insulating barrier so that the two sides of a link can sit at different ground potentials, protecting circuitry and users from ground loops and fault currents while the data path stays intact. The ADUM3160BRWZ-RL supports a 12Mbps data rate with a 70ns propagation delay and turn-on delay time, operates from 3V to 5.5V, and is rated for -40°C to 105°C. It is supplied in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC, 2.65mm high, RoHS compliant, MSL 3, in tape and reel of 1, 000.

USB digital isolators such as the ADUM3160BRWZ-RL are placed in the USB path of instruments and equipment that must keep a host PC electrically separated from the measurement or field side, which is standard practice in medical devices, laboratory and test instruments, and industrial data acquisition. The isolation barrier prevents ground potential differences and fault energy from reaching either side, protecting both the equipment and the operator. At 12Mbps the part covers USB full-speed links used by control and instrumentation peripherals. Buyers are typically medical device, test and measurement, and industrial automation OEMs and their contract manufacturers.
