Hot Swappable, Dual I2C Isolators, 5 kV
Data Sheet
ADuM2250/ADuM2251
FEATURES
Bidirectional I2C communication
Open-drain interfaces
Suitable for hot swap applications
30 mA current sink capability
1000 kHz operation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuM2250/ADuM22511 are hot swappable digital isolators
with nonlatching, bidirectional communication channels that
are compatible with I2C interfaces. This eliminates the need for
splitting I2C signals into separate transmit and receive signals for
use with standalone optocouplers.
3.0 V to 5.5 V supply/logic levels
16-lead SOIC wide body package version (RW-16)
16-lead SOIC wide body enhanced creepage version (RI-16-2)
High temperature operation: 105°C
The ADuM2250 provides two bidirectional channels, supporting
a complete isolated I2C interface. The ADuM2251 provides one
bidirectional channel and one unidirectional channel for those
applications where a bidirectional clock is not required.
Safety and regulatory approvals
The ADuM2250/ADuM2251 contain hot swap circuitry to
prevent data glitches when an unpowered card is inserted onto
an active bus.
UL recognition: 5000 V rms for 1 minute per UL 1577
CSA Component Acceptance Notice #5A (RI-16-2 package)
IEC 60601-1: 250 V rms (reinforced)
IEC 60950-1: 400 V rms (reinforced)
VDE certificate of conformity
DIN V VDE V 0884-10 (VDE V 0884-10):2006-12
These isolators are based on iCoupler® chip scale transformer
technology from Analog Devices, Inc. iCoupler is a magnetic
isolation technology with performance, size, power consump-
tion, and functional advantages compared to optocouplers. The
ADuM2250/ADuM2251 integrate iCoupler channels with semi-
conductor circuitry to enable a complete, isolated I2C interface
in a small form factor package.
