APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
COMMON-MODE TRANSIENT IMMUNITY
In general, common-mode transients consist of linear and
sinusoidal components. The linear component of a common-
mode transient is given by
V
CM, linear
= (ΔV/Δt)t
where ΔV/Δt is the slope of the transient shown in Figure 11
and Figure 12.
The transient of the linear component is given by
dV
CM
/dt = ΔV/Δt
Figure 8 characterizes the ability of the ADuM7234 to operate
correctly in the presence of linear transients. The data, based on
design simulation, is the maximum linear transient magnitude
that the ADuM7234 can tolerate without an operational error.
This data shows a correlation with the data that is listed in
Table 4, which is based on measured data.

The sinusoidal component (at a given frequency) is given by
V
CM, sinusoidal
= V
0
sin(2πft)
where:
V
0
is the magnitude of the sinusoidal.
f is the frequency of the sinusoidal.
The transient magnitude of the sinusoidal component is given by

Figure 9 and Figure 10 characterize the ability of the
ADuM7234 to operate correctly in the presence of sinusoidal
transients. The data is based on design simulation and is the
maximum sinusoidal transient magnitude (2πf V
0
) that the
ADuM7234 can tolerate without an operational error. Values
for immunity against sinusoidal transients are not included in
Table 4 because measurements to obtain such values have not
been possible.
