ADuM1400/ADuM1401/ADuM1402 Data Sheet
For example, at a magnetic field frequency of 1 MHz, the
maximum allowable magnetic field of 0.2 kgauss induces a
voltage of 0.25 V at the receiving coil. This is about 50% of the
sensing threshold and does not cause a faulty output transition.
Similarly, if such an event occurs during a transmitted pulse
(and has the worst-case polarity), it reduces the received pulse
from >1.0 V to 0.75 V—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 from the
ADuM1400/ADuM1401/ADuM1402 transformers. Figure 20
expresses these allowable current magnitudes as a function of
frequency for selected distances. As shown, the ADuM1400/
ADuM1401/ADuM1402 are extremely immune and can be
affected only by extremely large currents operated at high
frequency very close to the component. For the 1 MHz example
noted, one would have to place a 0.5 kA current 5 mm away
from the ADuM1400/ADuM1401/ADuM1402 to affect the
operation of the component.

Note that at combinations of strong magnetic field and high
frequency, any loops formed by printed circuit board traces
could induce error voltages sufficiently large enough to trigger
the thresholds of succeeding circuitry. Care should be taken in
the layout of such traces to avoid this possibility.
POWER CONSUMPTION
The supply current at a given channel of the ADuM1400/
ADuM1401/ADuM1402 isolator is a function of the supply
voltage, the data rate of the channel, and the output load of the
channel.
For each input channel, the supply current is given by

provide per-channel supply currents as a function of data rate
for an unloaded output condition. Figure 10 provides per-
channel supply current as a function of data rate for a 15 pF
output condition. Figure 11 through Figure 15 provide total

ADuM1400/ADuM1401/ADuM1402 channel configurations.
