GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuM1250/ADuM12511 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.
1
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 INFORMATION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
STARTUP
The ADuM1250/ADuM1251 interfaces on each side to a
bidirectional I2C signal. Internally, the I2C interface is split
into two unidirectional channels communicating in opposing
directions via a dedicated iCoupler isolation channel for each.
One channel (the bottom channel of each channel pair shown
in Figure 6) senses the voltage state of the Side 1 I2C pin and
transmits its state to its respective Side 2 I2C pin.
Both the VDD1 and VDD2 supplies have an undervoltage lockout
feature to prevent the signal channels from operating unless
certain criteria are met. This avoids the possibility of input logic
low signals from pulling down the I2C bus inadvertently during
power-up/power-down.
Both the Side 1 and the Side 2 I2C pins are designed to interface
to an I2C bus operating in the 3.0 V to 5.5 V range. A logic low
on either causes the opposite pin to be pulled low enough to
comply with the logic low threshold requirements of other I2C
devices on the bus. Avoidance of I2C bus contention is ensured
by an input low threshold at SDA1 or SCL1 guaranteed to be at
least 50 mV less than the output low signal at the same pin. This
prevents an output logic low at Side 1 being transmitted back to
Side 2 and pulling down the I2C bus.
•
Both supplies must be at least 2.5 V.
•
At least 40 μs must elapse after both supplies exceed the
internal startup threshold of 2.0 V.
The two criteria that must be met in order for the signal
channels to be enabled are as follows:
MINIMUM RECOMMENDED
OPERATING SUPPLY, 3.0V
SUPPLY VALID
MINIMUM VALID SUPPLY, 2.5V
40µs
However, since the Side 1 pin has a modified output level/input
threshold, this side of the ADuM1250/ADuM1251 can only
communicate with devices conforming to the I2C standard. In
other words, Side 2 of the ADuM1250/ADuM1251 is I2C-compliant,
while Side 1 is only I2C-compatible.
The output logic low levels are independent of the VDD1 and
VDD2 voltages. The input logic low threshold at Side 1 is also
independent of VDD1. However, the input logic low threshold at
Side 2 is designed to be at 0.3 VDD2, consistent with I2C requirements. The Side 1 and Side 2 pins have open-collector outputs
whose high levels are set via pull-up resistors to their respective
supply voltages.

Since the Side 2 logic levels/thresholds are standard I2C values,
multiple ADuM1250/ADuM1251 devices connected to a bus by
their Side 2 pins can communicate with each other and with other
devices having I2C compatibility. A distinction is made between
I2C compatibility and I2C compliance. I2C compatibility refers to
situations in which a component's logic levels do not necessarily
meet the requirements of the I2C specification but still allow the
component to communication with an I2C-compliant device.
I2C compliance refers to situations in which a component's logic
levels meet the requirements of the I2C specification.
Until both of these criteria are met for both supplies, the
ADuM1250/ADuM1251 outputs are pulled high, ensuring a
startup that avoids any disturbances on the bus. Figure 7 and
Figure 8 illustrate the supply conditions for fast and slow input
supply slew rates.

Figure 9. Typical Isolated I2C Interface Using ADuM1250
Figure 9 shows a typical application circuit including the pull-up
resistors required for both Side 1 and Side 2 busses. Bypass capacitors
of between 0.1 μF and 0.01 μF are required between VDD1 to
GND1 and VDD2 to GND2. The 200 Ω resistor shown in Figure 9
is required for latch-up immunity if the ambient temperature
can be between 105°C and 125°C.
MAGNETIC FIELD IMMUNITY
The ADuM125x is extremely immune to external magnetic
fields. The limitation on the ADuM125x magnetic field immunity
is set by the condition in which induced voltage in the transformer’s
receiving coil is sufficiently large to either falsely set or reset the
decoder. The following analysis defines the conditions under which
this may occur. The 3 V operating condition of the ADuM125x
is examined because it represents the most susceptible mode of
operation.
The pulses at the transformer output have an amplitude greater
than 1.0 V. The decoder has a sensing threshold at about 0.5 V, thus
establishing a 0.5 V margin in which induced voltages can be
tolerated. The voltage induced across the receiving coil is given by
The preceding magnetic flux density values correspond to
specific current magnitudes at given distances away from the
ADuM125x transformers. Figure 11 expresses these allowable
current magnitudes as a function of frequency for selected
distances. As shown in Figure 11, the ADuM125x is extremely
immune and can be affected only by extremely large currents
operated at high frequency and very close to the component.
For the 1 MHz example, one would have to place a 0.5 kA
current 5 mm away from the ADuM125x to affect the
component’s operation.

Note that at combinations of strong magnetic fields and high
frequencies, any loops formed by printed circuit board traces
can induce sufficiently large error voltages to trigger the threshold
of succeeding circuitry. Care should be taken in the layout of
such traces to avoid this possibility.

MAGNETIC FIELD FREQUENCY (Hz)
Given the geometry of the receiving coil in the ADuM1250 and
an imposed requirement that the induced voltage is at most 50%
of the 0.5 V margin at the decoder, a maximum allowable
magnetic field is calculated, as shown in Figure 10.

For example, at a magnetic field frequency of 1 MHz, the
maximum allowable magnetic field of 0.2 kgauss induces a
voltage of 0.25 V at the receiving coil. This is about 50% of the
sensing threshold and does not cause a faulty output transition.
Similarly, if such an event occurs during a transmitted pulse (with
the worst-case polarity), it reduces the received pulse from >1.0 V
to 0.75 V. Note that this is still well above the 0.5 V sensing
threshold of the decoder.
