directions on the same line, but have a unidirectional
clock. To prevent latch-up action, side 1 outputs

Hot-Swappable Side 2 I/O Prevents Data Corruption
comprise special buffers that regulate the logic-low
voltage at 0.64V, and the input logic-low threshold is at
least 50mV lower than the output logic-low voltage. Side
2 features conventional buffers that do not regulate
logic-low output voltage.

The ADuM1255 features independent 2.25V to 5.5V
supplies on both side 1 and side 2 of the isolator. The
device operates up to 2MHz.

The ADuM1255 provides
a disturbance-free bus
connection for hot-plug connections on side 2 by first
precharging the bus pins and then monitoring the bus
