ADuM2400/ADuM2401/ADuM2402
INSULATION LIFETIME
All insulation structures eventually break down when subjected
to voltage stress over a sufficiently long period. The rate of
insulation degradation is dependent on the characteristics of
the voltage waveform applied across the insulation. In addition
to the testing performed by the regulatory agencies, Analog
Devices carries out an extensive set of evaluations to determine
the lifetime of the insulation structure within the ADuM240x.
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. The values shown in Table 10
summarize the peak voltage for 50 years of service life for a
bipolar ac operating condition and the maximum CSA/VDE
approved working voltages. In many cases, the approved
working voltage is higher than the 50-year service life voltage.
Operation at these high working voltages can lead to shortened
insulation life in some cases.
The insulation lifetime of the ADuM240x 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 21,
Figure 22, and Figure 23 illustrate these different isolation
voltage waveforms.
Bipolar ac voltage is the most stringent environment. The goal
of a 50-year operating lifetime under the ac bipolar condition
determines Analog Devices recommended maximum working
voltage.

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 voltages listed in Table 10 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 22 or Figure 23 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 10.
Note that the voltage presented in Figure 22 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.
