Hi Webber, 
 Pin 15 has no internal connection - it does not connect to any internal circuitry. Therefore this pin can be connected to any convenient supply or ground. This is true of all pins marked NC: 2, 6, 8, 10, 11, 15. 
 Please note that a newer product family ( ADuM220N / ADuM221N / ADuM225N / ADuM226N ) is available which offers the same withstand voltage rating, higher working voltage and improved performance (lower propagation delay). This family is available in the 16-SOIC with the same pinout as the ADuM2200/01, or a smaller 8-SOIC.
