**High-Performance Signal and Power Isolation with the ADuM6020-5BRIZ**
In the design of modern electronic systems, particularly those operating in harsh industrial, medical, or renewable energy environments, **reliable isolation** is a non-negotiable requirement. It safeguards sensitive low-voltage circuitry from damaging high voltages, eliminates ground loops, and protects users from electric shock. Addressing these critical needs, the **ADuM6020-5BRIZ from Analog Devices** represents a significant leap forward by integrating both signal and power isolation into a single, compact package.
This device is a robust **5 kV RMS isolated half-bridge gate driver** with an integrated isolated DC-to-DC converter. Its core technology is based on Analog Devices' renowned **iCoupler® technology**, which uses micro-transformers fabricated on a chip instead of traditional optocouplers' LEDs and photodiodes. This fundamental difference grants the ADuM6020-5BRIZ superior performance characteristics, including **higher data rates, lower power consumption, and enhanced immunity to temperature and age-related degradation**.

A key feature of this component is its ability to generate an **isolated power supply** directly from a single 5 V input. The integrated DC-DC converter provides an isolated output of 5 V, capable of delivering up to 38 mA of power. This eliminates the need for a separate, bulky isolated power module, dramatically **reducing board space, simplifying design complexity, and lowering the overall bill of materials (BOM) cost**. This integrated power solution is invaluable for driving isolated interfaces such as MOSFET and IGBT gates in motor control, solar inverters, and industrial power supplies.
Beyond power, the ADuM6020-5BRIZ provides two isolated channels for critical control signals. These channels ensure that the low-voltage control logic is perfectly synchronized with the high-voltage switching commands while maintaining a formidable **isolation barrier**. With a high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) of >100 kV/μs, the device remains immune to the rapid voltage swings common in power switching applications, ensuring **stable and error-free operation** even in the noisiest of environments.
The device is offered in a narrow-body, 16-lead SOIC package that meets international safety standards, including UL, CSA, and VDE certifications, providing designers with the confidence to deploy it in end products requiring stringent safety approvals.
**ICGOODFIND**: The ADuM6020-5BRIZ is a premier solution for designers seeking to **minimize system size and maximize reliability**. By seamlessly merging high-noise-immunity signal isolation with a ready-to-use power supply in one IC, it accelerates development cycles and creates more robust, efficient, and compact end-products for high-voltage applications.
