The ADuM7234 1 is an isolated, half-bridge gate driver that
employs the Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler® technology to
provide independent and isolated high-side and low-side
outputs. Combining high speed CMOS and monolithic
transformer technology, this isolation component provides
outstanding performance characteristics superior to
optocoupler-based solutions.
APPLICATIONS
In comparison to gate drivers employing high voltage level
translation methodologies, the ADuM7234 offers the benefit of
true, galvanic isolation between the input and each output and
between each input. Each output may be operated up to ±350 V
peak relative to the input, thereby supporting low-side switching
to negative voltages. The differential voltage between the high
side and low side may be as high as 350 V peak.
By avoiding the use of LEDs and photodiodes, this iCoupler
gate drive device is able to provide precision timing characteristics
not possible with optocouplers. Furthermore, the reliability and
performance stability problems associated with optocoupler
LEDs are avoided.
Isolated IGBT/MOSFET gate drives

As a result, the ADuM7234 provides reliable control over the
switching characteristics of IGBT/MOSFET configurations over
a wide range of positive or negative switching voltages.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
COMMON-MODE TRANSIENT IMMUNITY
In general, common-mode transients consist of linear and
sinusoidal components. The linear component of a commonmode transient is given by
VCM, linear = (ΔV/Δt)t
where ΔV/Δt is the slope of the transient shown in Figure 11
and Figure 12.
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 V0) 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.

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.

INSULATION LIFETIME
All insulation structures eventually break down when subjected to
voltage stress over a sufficiently long period. The rate of insulation
degradation depends on the characteristics of the voltage waveform
applied across the insulation. In addition to the testing performed
by the regulatory agencies, Analog Devices conducts an extensive
set of evaluations to determine the lifetime of the insulation structure within the ADuM7234.
Bipolar ac voltage is the most stringent environment. The goal
of a 50-year operating lifetime under the ac bipolar condition
determines the maximum working voltage recommended by
Analog Devices.
In the case of unipolar ac or dc voltage, the stress on the insulation is significantly lower. This allows operation at higher
working voltages while still achieving a 50-year service life.
The working voltage listed in Table 3 can be applied while
maintaining the 50-year minimum lifetime provided the voltage
conforms to either the unipolar ac or dc voltage cases. Any cross
insulation voltage waveform that does not conform to Figure 15
or Figure 16 should be treated as a bipolar ac waveform, and its
peak voltage should be limited to the 50-year lifetime voltage
value listed in Table 3. Note that the voltage presented in Figure 15
is shown as sinusoidal for illustration purposes only. It is meant
to represent any voltage waveform varying between 0 V and
some limiting value. The limiting value can be positive or
negative, but the voltage cannot cross 0 V.
Analog Devices performs accelerated life testing using voltage
levels higher than the rated continuous working voltage. Acceleration factors for several operating conditions are determined.
These factors allow calculation of the time to failure at the
actual working voltage. Table 3 lists the peak voltage for 50
years of service life for a bipolar ac operating condition and the
maximum Analog Devices recommended working voltage. In
many cases, the approved working voltage is higher than the 50year service life voltage. Operation at these high working
voltages can lead to shortened insulation life in some cases.

The insulation lifetime of the ADuM7234 depends on the
voltage waveform type imposed across the isolation barrier.
The iCoupler insulation structure degrades at different rates
depending on whether the waveform is bipolar ac, unipolar
ac, or dc. Figure 14, Figure 15, and Figure 16 illustrate these
different isolation voltage waveforms.
