General Description

The ADuM1253 offers two open-drain channels, one

unidirectional and one bidirectional for applications,

such as I2C, that require data to be transmitted in both

directions on the same line but have a unidirectional

clock. To prevent latch-up action, side 1 outputs

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 ADuM1253 features independent 1.71V to 5.5V

supplies on both side 1 and side 2 of the isolator. The

device operates up to 2MHz. The ultra-low standby

current of 21μA per side is ideal for battery-operated

systems.

The ADuM1253 provides a disturbance-free bus

connection for hot-plug connections on side 2 by first

precharging the bus pins and then monitoring the bus

state for either an idle bus or detection of a I2C stop

condition before connecting side 1 and side 2.

The ADuM1253 is available in an 8-pin narrow SOIC

package. The device is rated for operation at ambient

temperatures of -40°C to +125°C.
