Hi,
My original designing use 5V optocoupler to finish the isolation function, optocoupler output drive the MMBF170L mosfet at ON or OFF state with very low frequency.
Now, I feeling ADuM1200 chip also can finish the same function, the better thing is this way need less current than optocoupler.
Due to I never use ADuM1200 chip to drive the MOSFET, I have a little bit worry about whether it can work well.
Could you helps to take a look it, whether it is a normal usage without risk.
Thanks.
Hi Weidong:
The schematic is OK. Only one suggestion to place R84 directly between G, S of Q8.
As Dave has suggested, please pay attention to the fai-safe logic status when choosing digital isolator. it…
Hi Weidong:
When VDD2 is below UVLO point, the output is high impedance. By adding 10kohm pull down resistor, we can get a logic L output.

Hi,
how fast do you want to turn on/off Q6?
ADuM1200's output impedance is around 60-70 ohm.
if 10K ohm is exactly value for R113 in your application, ADuM1200 can turn on Q6 well.

Hi, this is my original circuit, use optocoupler to drive the MMBF170L MOSFET, now, I want to replace the optocoupler with ADuM1200 chip.
Hi, Very thanks for your helps.
Could you kindly helps to take a look my modified circuit again.
The Q6 on/off frequenty is very very low, most of time, Q6 keep ON or OFF state without no change, only in some time, Q6 need change state once.
My analysis is ADUM1200 chip can drive mosfet work well, just due to I never used it before, so, have a littlt bit worry about it, it is very helpful if you can helps to affirm this.
Weidong.
