Hi all,

I'm currently working with the ADuM5000 for a USB isolation project and I am having issues with it heating quite rapidly. It will heat from 78F to 105F in a matter of 30 seconds. I've tested for shorts but found no issues. My main theory is possibly drawing too much current just with the circuit itself. I've attached the schematic below in a zip and a picture for quick reference.

For testing, I've been using a 5V power supply and connecting to the INPUT. Whenever power is connected to the INPUT the ADuM5000 heats up rapidly. OUTPUT reads 5V. The large diode at the end does also heat up but not as quickly as the ADuM; should I remove the diode?
