MAX22246
Reinforced, Fast, Low-Power Two-Channel Digital Isolators
Industry's Fastest, Lowest Power Reinforced Digital Isolators
Maxim Confidential 
MyMaxim SubscriptionsProduct Details
The MAX22245 features two channels transferring data in the same direction. The two channels of the MAX22246 transfer data in opposite directions, and this makes the MAX22246 ideal for isolating the Tx and Rx lines of a transceiver.
Devices are available with a maximum data rate of 25Mbps or 200Mbps, and with outputs that are either default high or default low. The default is the state the output assumes when the input is either not powered or is open circuit. See the Ordering Information and Product Selector Guide for 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 MAX22245/MAX22246 family is available in an 8-pin wide-body SOIC package with 8mm of creepage and clearance. The package material has a minimum comparative tracking index (CTI) of 400, which gives it a group II rating in creepage tables. All devices are rated for operation at ambient temperatures of -40°C to +125°C.

Description
The MAX22245/MAX22246 evaluation kits (EV kits) provide a proven design to evaluate the MAX22245 and MAX22246, reinforced, two-channel, galvanic digi- tal isolators. Two types of evaluation boards are available to support the MAX22245/MAX22246 family. The MAX22246CWEVKIT# is fully assembled and tested and comes populated with the MAX22246CAWA+ (Figure 1). The MAX2224XWEVKIT# is a generic board which has U1 unpopulated allowing the user to select a device from the MAX22245/MAX22246 family (Figure 2). Both evalu- ation boards support the wide-body 8-pin SOIC package type. See Table 1 for EV kit options.
The EV kits should be powered from two independent isolated power supplies with nominal output voltage in range from 1.71V to 5.5V. For evaluating the electrical parameters of the device without any isolation between the two sides, a single power supply can also be used.
The MAX2224XWEVKIT# comes with U1 unpopulated and supports the following digital isolators: MAX22245BAWA+, MAX22245CAWA+, MAX22245EAWA+, MAX22245FAWA+, MAX22246BAWA+, MAX22246CAWA+, MAX22246EAWA+, MAX22246FAWA+.
