An Overview of the iCoupler family of products is available.

The ADuM1250/ADuM1251* are hot swappable digital isolators with nonlatching, bidirectional communication channels compatible with I²C® interfaces. This eliminates the need for splitting I²C signals into separate transmit and receive signals for use with standalone optocouplers.

The ADuM1250 provides two bidirectional channels, supporting a complete isolated I²C interface. The ADuM1251 provides one bidirectional channel and one unidirectional channel for those applications where a bidirectional clock is not required.

Both the ADuM1250 and ADuM1251 contain hot swap circuitry to prevent glitching data when an unpowered card is inserted onto an active bus.

These isolators are based on iCoupler ® chip scale transformer technology from Analog Devices, Inc. iCoupler is a magnetic isolation technology with functional, performance, size, and power consumption advantages as compared to optocouplers. With the ADuM1250/ADuM1251, iCoupler channels can be integrated with semiconductor circuitry, which enables a complete isolated I²C interface to be implemented in a small form factor.

Applications

Isolated I²C, SMBus, or PMBus interfaces

Multilevel I²C interfaces

Power supplies

Networking

Power-over-Ethernet
