GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuM1250/ADuM12511 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.
The ADuM1250 provides two bidirectional channels, supporting
a complete isolated I2C interface. The ADuM1251 provides one
bidirectional channel and one unidirectional channel for applications where a bidirectional clock is not required.
1
Both the ADuM1250 and the ADuM1251 contain hot swap
circuitry to prevent glitching data when an unpowered card is
inserted onto an active bus.
These isolators are based on the 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 interface 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 feature prevents 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 pin 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.
For the signal channels to be enabled, the following two criteria
must be met:
Until both 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.
However, because the Side 1 pin has a modified output level/
input threshold, this side of the ADuM1250/ADuM1251 can
communicate only with devices that conform to the I2C standard. In other words, Side 2 of the ADuM1250/ADuM1251 is
I2C compliant, whereas 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.

Because 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
I2C compatible devices. A distinction is made between I2C compatibility and I2C compliance. I2C compatibility refers to situations in
which the logic levels of a component do not necessarily meet the
requirements of the I2C specification but still allow the component
to communicate with an I2C compliant device. I2C compliance
refers to situations in which the logic levels of a component meet
the requirements of the I2C specification.

Both supplies must be at least 2.5 V.

TYPICAL APPLICATION DIAGRAM
CAPACITIVE LOAD AT LOW SPEEDS
Figure 9 shows a typical application circuit including the pull-up
resistors required for both Side 1 and Side 2 buses. Bypass capacitors with values from 0.01 μF to 0.1 μF are required between VDD1
and GND1 and between VDD2 and 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.
The ADuM1250/ADuM1251 are designed for operation at
speeds up to 1 Mbps. Due to the limited current available on
Side 1, operation at 1 Mbps limits the capacitance that can be
driven at the minimum pull-up value to 40 pF.

Most applications operate at 100 kbps in standard mode or
400 kbps in fast mode. At these lower operating speeds, the
limitation on the load capacitance can be significantly relaxed.
Table 11 shows the maximum capacitance at minimum pull-up
values for standard and fast operating modes. If larger values
for the pull up resistor are used, the maximum supported
capacitance must be scaled down proportionately so that the
rise time does not increase beyond the values required by the
standard.

MAGNETIC FIELD IMMUNITY
The ADuM1250/ADuM1251 are extremely immune to external
magnetic fields. The limitation on the magnetic field immunity
of the ADuM1250/ADuM1251 is set by the condition in which
induced voltage in the receiving coil of the transformer 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 ADuM1250/ADuM1251 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 approximately
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
V = (−dβ/dt) ∑ πrn2; n = 1, 2, … , N
where:
β is the magnetic flux density (gauss).
rn is the radius of the nth turn in the receiving coil (cm).
N is the total number of turns in the receiving coil.
The preceding magnetic flux density values correspond to specific
current magnitudes at given distances away from the ADuM1250/
ADuM1251 transformers. Figure 11 expresses these allowable
current magnitudes as a function of frequency for selected
distances. As shown in Figure 11, the ADuM1250/ADuM1251
are extremely immune and can be affected only by extremely
large currents operated at high frequency very close to the
component. For the 1 MHz example, a 0.5 kA current placed
5 mm away from the ADuM1250/ADuM1251 is required to
affect the operation of the component.

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE CURRENT (kA)
1000
Given the geometry of the receiving coil in the ADuM1250/
ADuM1251 and an imposed requirement that the induced
voltage be, at most, 50% of the 0.5 V margin at the decoder,
a maximum allowable magnetic field is calculated as shown
in Figure 10.
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE MAGNETIC FLUX
DENSITY (kgauss)
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 voltage is approximately 50% of the sensing threshold and does not cause a faulty
output transition. Similarly, if such an event occurs during a
transmitted pulse (and is of the worst-case polarity), it reduces the
received pulse from >1.0 V to 0.75 V, still well above the 0.5 V
sensing threshold of the decoder.
Note that at combinations of strong magnetic field and high
frequency, any loops formed by PCB traces can induce error
voltages sufficiently large to trigger the thresholds of
succeeding circuitry. Exercise care in the layout of such traces
to avoid this possibility.
