The MAX14930 are a family of 4-channel 2.75kV_RMS digital isolators utilizing Maxim’s proprietary process technology. For applications requiring 5kV_RMS of isolation, see the MAX14934–MAX14936. The MAX14930 family transfers digital signals between circuits with different power domains at ambient temperatures up to +125°C.

The MAX14930 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. For applications requiring bidirectional channels, such as I²C, see the MAX14933.

Devices are available with data rates from DC up to 1Mbps, 25Mbps, or 150Mbps. Each device is also available in either a default high or default low configuration.The default is the state an output goes to when its input is unpowered. See the Product Selector Guide and Ordering Information for the suffixes 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.

The MAX14930 are available in both a 16-pin wide body (10.3mm x 7.5mm) and narrow body (9.9mm x 3.9mm) SOIC package. All devices are rated for operation at ambient temperatures of -40°C to +125°C.
