With which regulatory standards do iCoupler products comply?

iCoupler products typically carry at least a 2.5 kV_RMS UL rating and a 400 V_RMS working voltage approval from CSA and UL.

The approvals and details for each specific product are summarized in the table available at www.analog.com/iCouplerSafety

How do iCoupler products differ from interface products?

iCoupler isolation products are a subset of traditional interface products. Typically, a given iCoupler product may be suitable for a wide array of applications, whereas interface-specific products are limited in scope (e.g., RS-232 or RS-485 transceivers). In addition, interface-specific products may not require isolation; however, it is common that such interfaces also require some level of isolation. Analog Devices offers a variety of interface products, some of which integrate iCoupler technology for a fully integrated solution (see below).

Does Analog Devices provide other products that employ iCoupler technology?

A significant benefit of iCoupler technology is its ability to integrate isolation in a wide range of products. Integrating iCoupler isolation with other products simplifies designs, reduces the bill-of-materials, lowers cost, reduces size and increases reliability.

The ADM2483, ADM2485, ADM2486 and ADM2490E are RS-485 transceivers that employ iCoupler technology. Likewise, the AD7400 and AD7401 are isolated ΣΔ analog-to-digital converters. In the future, Analog Devices will release additional products integrated isolation via iCoupler technology.
