Figure 11 shows how the ADuM4154 can control up to four
slaves by routing the
MSS
input to one of four outputs on the
slave side of the isolator, which eliminates three isolation
channels compared to the standard solution.

Figure 11. Multiple Slave Control
The multiplexer select lines are low speed channels implemented as
part of the dc correctness scheme in the ADuM4154. The dc
value of all high and low speed inputs on a given side of the
device are sampled simultaneously, packetized, and shifted
across an isolation coil. The high speed channels are compared
for dc accuracy, and the low speed mux select lines, SSA0 and
SSA1, are transferred to the mux control block. The dc
correctness data for the high speed channels is handled
internally with no visibility off chip.
This data is regulated by a free running internal clock. Because data
is sampled at discrete times based on this clock, the propagation
delay for mux select lines is between 0.1 μs and 2.6 μs, depending
on where the input data edge changes with respect to the internal
sample clock. After an address propagation delay time of up to
2.6 μs, the multiplexer routes the
MSS
signals to the desired output.
The outputs that are not selected are set to high-Z, and the
application pulls them to the desired idle state.
Figure 12 illustrates the behavior of the SSA0 and SSA1
channels. This diagram assumes that
MSS
is low and that SS0,
SS1, SS2, and SS3 are pulled up.

Figure 12. Mux Select Timing
The following details the mux select timing shown in Figure 12:
Point A: The mux select lines must be switched
simultaneously to within the t
SSAx SKEW
time. Failure to do
this may allow sampling the inputs between the edges and
selecting an incorrect mux output. Point A on SS1 is a
metastable state on the output mux resulting from wide
spacing between SSA0 and SSA1.
Point B: For mux select lines to be processed predictably, a
state of SSA0 and SSA1 must be stable for longer than 4 μs
before switching the mux to another output. This
guarantees that at least two samples are taken of the inputs
before the mux output is changed.
Point C: This point in Figure 12 shows a clean transfer
between SS3 being active and SS0 being active. The mux
was designed to eliminate any short duration metastable
states between any two selected outputs.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) LAYOUT
The ADuM4154 digital isolator requires no external interface
circuitry for the logic interfaces. Power supply bypassing is
strongly recommended at both the V
DD1
and V
DD2
supply pins
(see Figure 13). The capacitor value must be between 0.01 μF
and 0.1 μF. The total lead length between both ends of the
capacitor and the input power supply pin must not exceed
20 mm.

Figure 13. Recommended PCB Layout
In applications involving high common-mode transients, it is
important to minimize board coupling across the isolation barrier.
Furthermore, design the PCB layout so that any coupling that
does occur affects all pins equally on a given component side.
Failure to ensure this may cause voltage differentials between
pins that exceed the absolute maximum ratings of the device,
thereby leading to latch-up or permanent damage.
PROPAGATION DELAY RELATED PARAMETERS
Propagation delay is a parameter that describes the time it takes
a logic signal to propagate through a component. The input to
output propagation delay time for a high to low transition may
differ from the propagation delay time of a low to high
transition.

Figure 14. Propagation Delay Parameters
Pulse width distortion is the maximum difference between
these two propagation delay values and an indication of how
accurately the timing of the input signal is preserved.
Channel to channel matching refers to the maximum amount
the propagation delay differs between channels within a single
ADuM4154 component.
DC CORRECTNESS AND MAGNETIC FIELD
IMMUNITY
Positive and negative logic transitions at the isolator input cause
narrow (~1 ns) pulses to be sent via the transformer to the
decoder. The decoder is bistable and is, therefore, either set or
reset by the pulses indicating input logic transitions. In the
absence of logic transitions at the input for more than ~1.2 μs, a
periodic set of refresh pulses indicative of the correct input state
are sent via the low speed channel to ensure dc correctness at
the output.
If the low speed decoder receives no pulses for more than about
5 μs, the input side is assumed to be unpowered or nonfunctional,
in which case, the isolator output is forced to a high-Z state by
the watchdog timer circuit.
The limitation on the magnetic field immunity of the device is
set by the condition in which induced voltage in the transformer
receiving coil is sufficiently large to either falsely set or reset the
decoder. The following analysis defines such conditions. The
ADuM4154 is examined in a 3 V operating condition because it
represents the most susceptible mode of operation for this
product.
The pulses at the transformer output have an amplitude greater
than 1.5 V. The decoder has a sensing threshold of about 1.0 V;
thereby establishing a 0.5 V margin in which induced voltages
can be tolerated. The voltage induced across the receiving coil is
given by
V = (−/dt)Σπr
n
2
; n = 1, 2, …, N
where:
β is the magnetic flux density.
r
n
is the radius of the n
th
turn in the receiving coil.
N is the number of turns in the receiving coil.
Given the geometry of the receiving coil in the ADuM4154 and
an imposed requirement that the induced voltage be, at most,
50% of the 0.5 V margin at the decoder, a maximum allowable
magnetic field is calculated, as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15. Maximum Allowable External Magnetic Flux Density
ADuM4154 Data Sheet
For example, at a magnetic field frequency of 1 MHz, the
maximum allowable magnetic field of 0.5 kgauss induces a
voltage of 0.25 V at the receiving coil. This voltage is about 50%
of the sensing threshold and does not cause a faulty output
transition. If such an event occurs, with the worst-case polarity,
during a transmitted pulse, the interference reduces the received
pulse from >1.0 V to 0.75 V. This voltage is still well above the
0.5 V sensing threshold of the decoder.
The preceding magnetic flux density values correspond to
specific current magnitudes at given distances away from the
ADuM4154 transformers. Figure 16 expresses these allowable
current magnitudes as a function of frequency for selected
distances. The ADuM4154 is insensitive to external fields. Only
extremely large, high frequency currents very close to the
component are potentially a concern. For the 1 MHz example
noted, placing a 1.2 kA current 5 mm away from the
ADuM4154 affects component operation.

Figure 16. Maximum Allowable Current for
Various Current to ADuM4154 Spacings
At combinations of a strong magnetic field and high frequency,
any loops formed by the PCB traces may induce sufficiently
large error voltages to trigger the thresholds of succeeding
circuitry. Take care to avoid PCB structures that form loops.
POWER CONSUMPTION
The supply current at a given channel of the ADuM4154
isolator is a function of the supply voltage, the data rate of the
channel, the output load of the channel, and whether it is a high
or low speed channel.
The low speed channels draw a constant quiescent current
caused by the internal ping-pong datapath. The operating
frequency is low enough that the capacitive losses caused by
the recommended capacitive load are negligible compared to
the quiescent current. The explicit calculation for the data rate
is eliminated for simplicity, and the quiescent current for each
side of the isolator due to the low speed channels can be found
in Table 3, Table 5, Table 7, and Table 9 for the particular operating
voltages.
These quiescent currents add to the high speed current as is
shown in the following equations for the total current for each
side of the isolator. Dynamic currents are taken from Table 3
and Table 5 for the respective voltages.

INSULATION LIFETIME
All insulation structures eventually break down when subjected
to voltage stress over a sufficiently long period. The rate of
insulation degradation is dependent on the characteristics of the
voltage waveform applied across the insulation, as well as the
materials and material interfaces.
Two types of insulation degradation are of primary interest:
breakdown along surfaces exposed to the air and insulation
wear out. Surface breakdown is the phenomenon of surface
tracking and the primary determinant of surface creepage
requirements in system level standards. Insulation wear out is
the phenomenon where charge injection or displacement
currents inside the insulation material cause long-term
insulation degradation.
